OK, I've tested doing what I wanted to do and it just flat out isn't possible. I've come up with a new strategy which appears to hold much promise. I am committing myself to it and will begin giving final orders. I'll be busy tomorrow but hope to deliver to Steve my first turn by sometime on Thursday. Steve is still welcome to come into the thread and contribute if he wishes. That means that what I say may have some level of misdirection for him. Not to worry, in the fullness of time I will explain what I did, why and how; assuming I remember.

Steve's got his own thread - doesn't it make more sense to keep this for your stuff as there is then no need for misdirection?

Just a thought.

This is how I've always done it and I look forward to looking at his AAR before I'm senile (wait, what time is it?) but I really would like it if he kibbitzed and talked trash some on my AAR. In fact, the more he contributes the more I'll like it. So, if everything works out according to plan he will spend more time doing AARs than me and I win.

I'm sorry Geoff, but I seldom do "trash talk". And I never do it well. It just seems, well, unseemly. And definitely ungentlemanly. I generally ignore it , and if it does get to me I don't generally respond well. Sorry, I'm weird that way. I've even been known to politely applaud when the other folks win.

But I'm more that will to throw in the occasional comment if you'd like. But please don't take it personally if I don't bite too often to your "trash talk". Sorry. [:(] [:(][:)][:)]

We look forward to your effusive flattery of Sir Geoffry's ego and game play. Overdoing it can be trash too![:)]

Maybe the problem isn't the outline of the plan. Maybe the problem is the outline of your head. Consider that AE was designed for human brains. Yours is larger and, more importantly, shaped differently.

Reporting in. Spent all day on this thing and once more discovered my plan would not work. I swear to you this is not "Pinky and the Brain". I have an outline of a new plan in my head. I think tomorrow I can get the bulk of it done. Transmission of first turn this weekend I hope.

Yours is larger and, more importantly, shaped differently. Try making your plan less brilliant and more in line with puny human limitations. That will get the game started, then you can make adjustments which will dazzle your unfortunate, hapless, puny-brained opponent.
