Don't worry, trying to hit someone 20 paces away with a lawn chair will make you feel better.

Are we allowed to throw to duelist the glass with the cocktail and paper umbrella also [;)][:D]

Only after draining the contents.

Here's a fully loaded lawn chair on the field of honour:

Does the Frenchman have to misspell 'honor' on his field too? [:'(]

Lima beans are kind of nasty also.

Don't care much for collard greens or okra either.......................

How about this?

French food is very good and deserves protecting from bad copies. I once tried "Wisconson Brie". Don't.

Nothing wrong with Wisconsin Brie, mate. Perhaps your taste buds have been worn flat by drinking too much warm beer? [:'(]

Anything's better than English food...[:'(]

No sticky toffee pudding for you.

I once had sticky toffee pudding. It followed a bout of Salmonellosis, I think. Smelled about the same as well.

You'll love America though, they've got cheese (prepare to have your mind blown!) that comes in a spray can!

C'est incredible! Or was that inedible? I forget.

I'm not so sure about that, Bro. There's a couple Wensleydales that can nudge a bleu d'auvergne. And a good Caerphilly with a good Port is to die for.

I have the board game and bought the computer game when it was released. Haven't played it for a year(+) though. Was there anything particular you wanted to ask about?

I bought the computer game when it came out but never got round to installing it. How does it play against the AI or does CoG do a better job?

i'm currently in two PBEM games on the latest version. i played against the AI just to learn the ropes, but it won't give you very much challenge once you learn the mechanics. where it really shines is with human opponents (not much surprise). the diplomacy is intriguing and the battles tense. there are minor glitches from time to time (eg, a minor coutry corps counter won't respond to it's rightful controller, etc) but these are typically handled in a very timely manner by the matrix team. as a side note, it is NOT an exact port of the original board game. the map is slightly different with more provinces and the naval game is a bit different (heavy and light ships added, IIRC).

bottom line, if you are willing to give it a go with a PBEM opponent i say give it a go...otherwise, it might not live up to your expectations...and of course, YMMV.

The game is in far better shape than when it first came out. AI better, less bugs, etc. As an example, if you're playing France once you get the first country conquered the AI gets more and more confused and you and lets you set up a rotation (although I've seen board game players do that as well).

I had some punctuation left over from this year's quota. I thought I'd use some of it up in the Thread. [:)]

You'd better. Otherwise you'll get a reduced amount next year.

But has a Frenchman ever experienced a box of Velveeta and a bottle of Ripple. That is an American experience that can never be forgotten.

Velveeta + jalapenos + chips = bastardized nachos (tasty). Don't know about the Ripple tho, still have long ago memories of MD20/20 and Boone's Farm. Not good memories mind you.
