  1. Halsey Strikes First

    If the Japanesse fleet has orders to continue the mission regardless Halsey and the Enterprise are feeding the Fishes. If Halsey fires first he and the Enterprise are feeding the Fishes. In the second case it falls to the orders the Kido Butai has regarding being sighted. If Halsey fires first...
  2. The Guns of the South

    If a Turtledove book is "stand alone" it is usually a good read, if it is part of a series it is usually boring at best as with TL 191 that should have finished with "How Few Remain".
  3. Risk?

    I still play mine on my Vista machine. My Master of Orion II plays on my Win 7 with a program called DOS Box, You might try it on Risk if you know a bit about programing. If however you do have Vista you should be able to get it to work by setting compatability to Win 95. If you are able to play...
  4. WI: Bush tries the draft

    For the most part the Cold War draftees were as good as the Volunteers of the era. Most did not want to be there, but also did not want a bad service record to screw with them when thier term was up. In the Viet Nam era a less than honorable discharge could make your employment outlook dismal...
  5. WI: Bush tries the draft

    Like they did during Viet Nam.:D Two-thirds of those who served in Nam were Volunteers.
  6. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    So I got false information from a biography site, however your link says " German officers openly visited United States military sites and even attended American military schools before the war, " so wrong about Rommel could be right about Forrest having influnce on WWII tactics. Certian...
  7. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Fort Henry and Donelson surrendered ,Pillow was defended by militia. The Forts at Richmond according to The Irish Knight were being defended by The Army of Northern Viirginia not exactly an amature unit. And to the time of Kearnys taking over the AOP had not lost a defensive battle. So...
  8. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    from: http://www.freeinfosociety.com/article.php?id=184 Military historians and tacticians study Forrest's tactics and movements, and still utilize his tactics in battle plans. Forrest's battles have been and are still studied today. The war colleges for most armies around the world...
  9. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I take objection to the Statement Forrest was a "Bushwacker" "overseer" and "lyncher" there is nothing to this point in his career that supports these allegations Forrest was not a "bushwacker he was a General in the Confederate States Army. Who had he lynched at this point in his life? You...
  10. Best Grand Strategy Game?

    I suggest you read the PI forums as opinions on which PI game to play are like rectums everybody has one. PI games tend to be complex so I would try Europa Universalis II or Victoria I if you can get them for about $10 or less play with them to get a feel of the Paradox Gaming Philosphy, then...
  11. The Great library

    Oh God no! I would have gone insane hving to read 8 more over long poems.:eek: Point of fact I did struggle with them as I am a slow reader, and sometimes lose focus so that I misread what is on the page.:o Strangely, I did not have this problem with Gone with the Wind.:D
  12. 25th Amendment Loophole?

    This would work in a Parlimentary system like yours as most if not all of your cabinet ministers are known at election time, and "elected " by the people. Here no cabinet member is elected or for the most part know to the public pre-election. True most of the current Presidents cabinet is...
  13. Confederate Missouri or Kentucky

    Thought you might have been thinking Cumberland Gap which isn't in Kentucky. You can see my problem as Kentuckians are going to think River not town when you just say Cumberland. Unless you is one of the few peeples from C City.:cool:
  14. Confederate Missouri or Kentucky

    The Cumberland River area in Kentucky is the center of the state, the Confederate soldiers (mainly The Orphans Brigade) came from this area and The Bluegrass area. Then so did a like number or more Union troops The far east (Appalachia) part of Kentucky I know not for sure. A funny aside Jeff...
