I called all the EBgames in Milwaukee that sell PC games (some only sell console games now) and of all of them one store got one copy, which I know hold in my hands after cajoling them into holding it for me.

Kinko's quoted me $220 for color, double-sided, spiral-bound with acetate cover.

I beat up a laser-printer at work instead.

<t> I laughed at them as I walked out... They've been going downhill (farther) ever since Fedex bought them out earlier this year.<br/>
<br/>
I've abused the hell out of a laser printer at work, spent 15 minutes with a 3-hole punch, and now I have a suitably wicked looking binder full of grayscale ...

Definitely print the big 12 meg one.<br/>
<br/>
Take a look at each in print preview. The pages don't fill up a standard 8.5 x 11 page on the 8 meg one.

FWIW, my local Kinkos just quoted me $220US for color ...

ORIGINAL: HercMighty

Figure roughly 18 names per line, by 8 lines at $70 per game = $10,080.00!

Not counting those buying multiple copies.

<t> OC-12 is 622Mbit (more or less) line speed, turns out to about 600Mbit in useable payload.<br/>
It's carrier-level stuff, used mostly by ISPs between POPs and large businesses.<br/>
<br/>
Standard optical lines can go up to OC-192 which is 9953Mbit, but only the phone companies and serious ...

It is, but not during pure bombing attacks. I shouldn't have used the word "assault" up there without also adding the word "air." I'll edit it for clarity.

If I moved troops in, it would be perfectly normal. Right now, I just pretend Changsha has a missile defense shield.

<r> The German player hasn't posted here yet, but I'm impatient so I'm going to report my next turn.<br/>
<br/>
Bombing runs on Chinese forces did some minor damage to them, although due to a bug, I can't bomb Changsha without triggering militia creation, so I had to bomb some other provinces ...

<r> Nothing fun to look at on the map, so here's Japan's 1st turn production.<br/>

Oleg's lack of naval experience probably won't hurt him too much in the Pacific, since we're likely to just stumble around like two drunks having a slap-fight.<br/>

The Persia move is interesting and ...

It was tempting to do this as Japan in our last game, but I had been burned so badly by prematurely attacking PH in Game 1 that I chickened out.

I can't wait to see the results.

Bug filed.

My main strategy against China was going to be bombing too....curses! Foiled again! [;)]

ok, i just loaded a new game to check this out and found out something.<br/>
<br/>
if you strat move units into a sea area they can sit on the tranpsorts till your next turn (which i knew). when they move into an enemy controlled area next ...

<r> Research was spent to upgrade infantry evasion and land attack, and fighter evasion.<br/>
<br/>
Given my lack of resources, I might just barely be able to get one or two of these raised to the next level by the time they'll come in handy.<br/>

<r> I moved escorts out to watch my transports and put some subs off the coast of Alaska.<br/>
<br/>
For production, I splurged and spent 3 points on Research, and the rest on infantry and supplies. I did end up putting the Carrier back into the queue, since I plan on waiting for the very last ...

<r> You can see the result of the raising of defense militia units in this shot.<br/>
<br/>
Instead of 2 infantry, 2 flak, and 2 militia, the militia strength has now doubled, even after losses.<br/>
<br/>
So, sadly, the end result is that the area is stronger after my attack than it was before ...

<r> According to this screen I wiped out 4 militia units for no losses! Not too shabby.<br/>
<br/>
It's slightly confusing at first that I took out twice as many units than existed in the area, but militia units appear in Chinese areas automatically when those areas are attacked.<br/>

<r> Now I'll do a play by play of an air attack on Changsha.<br/>

As you can see below, I'm sending a mix of Heavy and Tactical bombers along with some fighter escorts against 2 infantry, 2 militia, and a couple of flak units. <br/>

There is an odds calculation that appears in the ...
