RE: Pass Code BLOWS!

Amen. It looks they've added a lot more lines to obscure the letters and numbers. They did a good job of obscuring. Took me seven or eight attempts.

<t> I just finished reading it. Excellent book. If you've read a lot about Nimitz and Halsey already, you might not find much new. But the discussion of Leahy and King were very interesting to me. There is also quite a bit regarding Marshal, Eisenhower and MacArthur and how they interacted with the ...

RE: OT: Chickamauga Soujourn

<t> It seems to me that the South has a strong military tradition too. Canoerebel mentioned several prominent men. I served in the Marines and noticed that many of the best Marines were from the south. And why is it that the Drill Instructors all seem to come from the South? Nothing strikes fear in ...

RE: OT: RAF Spitfires to be returned from Burma to UK

The author of the article makes quite a claim, "The Spitfire is arguably the most important plane in the history of aviation, playing a crucial role in world war two."

Crucial role in world war two? Sure. Most important in the history of aviation? Hmmm.

RE: another disaster

<t> I meant no disrespect to Rader. He played an outstanding game...surpassing anything I could have remotely accomplished. Both sides deserve tremendous credit. But I think a consensus (I could be wrong) is that GJ could have sat back and bombed Japanese industry to dust. But he chose to advance ...

I don't know my Q Factor from my Circle of Appollonius but I do know I enjoyed this AAR immensely. I declare Greyjoy the winner and think they should turn the chessboard around and play again from the other side. What do you guys think?

Lost Serial Number

<t> After a few years I thought I'd get back into the game. I downloaded the most recent update but when I tried to install, I was asked for the serial number. The game was a digital download and I have no idea what I've done with the serial number. Anyone know how I can find it? Is it in the ...

I like that there is still plenty hidden under the hood, such as pilot training. Allows for more varied styles of play.

Enjoying the AAR DOCUP. Keep up the good work.
