Sorry Mike. Didn't mean to quote your post.[&:] Meant to quote Mad Russian. So now you are wrong about being wrong[;)]. I have a habit of hitting the quote button of the next post instead of the intended.

I've been wrong about being wrong before[:)]

Guys just a heads up. Nobody really cares about this stuff but one PITA just uses it to needle people. It has nothing to do with furthering anything but old stupid stuff. This is why we get annoyed.We're trying to figure out ways to keep things positive and people focused on building stuff. We have a good opportunity here.

VASSAL is an online game table that allows you to play games like Fifth Fleet. I believe you can play in both real-time or on a turn by turn basis over email. Check it out. They have an awesome catalog of games. If you ever want to play some fleet, let me know.

You can actually addd them to the library but you need to scan the components and then set up the dynamics of how the pieces work.
