Swabbies are all right.....I just wouldn't let 'em date my sister 'cause I've seen some of the bars they like to hang out in when they're in port. [;)]

At what point do we reach critical mass of having too many Marines vs Navy vs Army vs the rest? Is there a danger point? Some kind of fail safe mechanism?

There are only two kinds of people that understand Marines: Marines and the enemy. Everyone else has a second-hand opinion.

I knew quite a few "lifers" with less than 3 years service. [:(]

It's been my experience that critical mass is only reached when there is just one beer left in the cooler. [:)]

I'm not exactly certain, but I think it was either Josef Stalin or Michael Jackson.

If you are only a 'bit' overwhelmed then you are light years ahead of me. [:D] The manual+the forum+a lot of patience = an eventual pbem game. [:)]

The WitP AE manual is laying on my night stand. Everytime I pick it up my girlfriend shakes her head, is that bad [:D]?

Bit of advice there my friend;

take that manual out of the bedroom, and put it on the coffee table or somewhere like that. That manual sitting on the night stand is in direct competition with your GF, she will be hating that manual (and the game) with a passion you can't imagine. [:-]

Divepac, I can get away with it as long as I do shopping, I cook, work fulltime and do the occasional job in the house.... [:D]. I am like Cicero in Gladiator, "sometimes I do what I want to do, the rest of the time I do what I have to"......

Rogue, no my nick in WW2 ol is Kenchis, I fly in the 56th. Barely getting my act together in the new campaign though....

DivePacs right. If you take it out of the bedroom, GF will be happier. A happy GF is required to play AE without whining, snide remarks and dirty looks. In my case, I do the whining.[:D]

My suggestion for a good place for the manual is the bathroom. The rest of the time you'll be in front of your computer playing AE. When nature calls, you can still get some AE time in when you're away from the computer.
