The Operational Art of Addiction (TOAW as crack for grogs)

That's one case where a "Hold on at all costs" order should be obeyed...[:'(]

Or on offence 'Single Unit Attack' set to 'Ignore Losses'.

Thank you Okimaw, in this case two opinions make a strong majority.

[parusski]

There;s no problem there, if she was the principal breadwinner the whole time you're married you're entitled to ALIMONY, big time. Just think now you can quit your job and play TOAW 3 ALL DAY ALL NIGHT.

[parusski]

OH GOD. That is a great idea. I will get alimony and play TOAW 20 hours a day. Okimaw, you should be either a marriage counselor or a divorce lawyer. Brilliant.

Oh yea! Bite your tongue dude! [:)]

Actually I've heard of two other women playing TOAW over at TDG, though one was only because she's married to one of our members.

Just, very, very rare. And none in my country [:(]

My name is David. I am an addict. TOAW is destroying my life. My wife is threating to leave me if I do not stop. Can anyone help????

Soften her up with artillery first, then make a deep penetration into...

No... not going to go there.

[alaric99x]

Golden, may I suggest the procedure that I usually use?
 
- If she's user-friendly, but your hard drive in her floppy.

[kfmiller41]

Carefull Purruski, if she is paying alimony she may demand your TOAW in the divorce, just for spite (not that I would know anything about divorces[8|])
I have been playing TOAW on and off for years. Am playng Larryfunkerson now (yes he is insanely addicted) and it is just alot of fun.

[parusski]

Than fuels my paranoia...I just burned 4 copies of TOAW- I will put them in several secure locations until her broom starts up.,,Thanks to everyone here-the help was greatlley needed.

TOAW Vol. I, 1998...

Talsonsoft board vet. Ashton still gets no mercy.

Has it really been 8 years?

[PaladinSix]

What is this thing called "wife?" Is that a reference to the shadowy, shrill figure standing in the door to my office that keeps telling me "Its just a game!!!" Kind of like being von Rundstedt and listening to Hitler screaming nonsensical orders over the wireless from East Prussia. Deep down, you know you should be paying attention, but the messages don't have any basis in reality.

[alaric99x]

Wife?  I don't have one of those right now.

[nemo69]

My name's Marc, bought TOAW vol. I in 1998, TOAW vol. II in 1999, TOAW CoW in 2001. Have 9 nine PBEM games going (down from an all-time height at 15 a year ago). 99% of my computer time is TOAW-related, I keep thinking about scenario ideas while driving, I've read the CoW manual several times in its entirety, I'm trying to get a nephew into this habit, I've even talked about TOAW to mesmerised work colleagues - the rest I'll keep under the shroud of secrecy...

Now if you would excuse me, I've got three turns awaiting tonight...

[Catch21]

My father once told me the secret of marriage is to learn 3 phrases by heart:

1) Yes dear.
2) I'm sorry dear.

And the 3rd to be used only in the direst emergencies:

3) I didn't hear you dear.

[Mad Cow]

Wives are over-rated, I have found.

Nothing beats the freedom of being a single man.

Wow, there are a lot of TOAW graybeards here.  Any thoughts on if the Matrix release is going to bring new players in, or is it mainly going to be the same crowd enjoying the new version.
 
I'm a recent convert.[:D]

There have been quite a few posts by people who apparently haven't played the game before. But we might have scared them all off by now.
