If we would of had computers when I was 17, I would have been playing with GoA instead of a girl named... nevermind. [:@] [;)]

Yea, I know how you feel; I'm only 51. Strange to have so many old guys in one place.[;)]

That so many are here is added proof that wargaiming is good for your health. It teaches you to keep your head down, among other things.

Yeah, it's beginning to smell like a Rest Home here. [:D][X(]

Now that 2nd statement you made, I ain't touching that one! [;)]

EDIT: Maestro, I see you are also from Nevada? I'm in the capital city.

Well, see, sitting here at the rest home, we don't have much else to do with our time, that is, besides group sex night.

That's where we sit around in a circle and talk about how it USED to be. [:D]

I'm in the city that pays for everything in the whole state-lucky you.

No time zone problems for PPM games, eh?

I figured that's where you are. You're correct, the entire state revolves around there. We even gave up our old area code for the sin city. [&o] [;)]

You know, I have never played a war game by PBEM.

Well, Larry, about the phone numbers, it just seemed like the right thing to do-not inconveniencing most of the people of the state.

About PBEM, I tend to prefer that for a real contest. The AI is good for leaning the system and for studying different situations. When the time comes to really test your superior ideas, then a competent human opponent is the way to go.

I'm still not quite an expert at GoA, but I assume, you are not quite there either. Perhaps we can give GoA a go this weekend.

Sorry about the thread drift. Tis is a great game.

You're right, I'm not quite ready yet. I don't feel comfortable enough yet with the game flow. I have been playing Tillers Campaign series more than GoA. I did however receive the manual for GoA yesterday so I can read that this weekend. It's not big but it beats PDF. [:)]
