Our friends at Politico trying over and over again to justify the expense on military going straight to the USA.
Such "war" would be nuclear. And it's not going to happen. EU and its media flunkies at its worst.

Hey!
What about the Royal Navy? And the Roman navy birremes keeping the Mediterranean basin safe?

Ah, well... Like its successors, guarantor of their own freedom.

I'm going to play Tonkin later just to check the gulf where the Maddox will be later ;)

Fall 1917. Until last summer, the Allied have been making progress on all fronts, especially removing the threat to Egypt.
But the entry of Bulgaria and the start of the Russian Revolution is about to change everything...
We'll keep you posted.

I'm struggling to think of anything more humiliating than Tony Blair managing anything lest a foreign country destroyed by genocide.

Not the easiest game but it gives you hours of play.
Also, I love that it's about encircling the 6th Army and not about getting to Stalingrad as many other games are.

For 2 years, *after* we posted the results of the solo/solitaire wargaming survey, we'd get a pile of comments lamenting that "No one told *ME* about this!!"

Somehow I have been playing more Pursuit than Paths.
The fact that the Russian Revolution happens in Pursuit of Glory ( difficult in Paths), the more emphasis on Gallipoli and the fights in the desert makes it quite appealing to me.
This does not mean I don't enjoy Paths of Glory! One of my favs!!

"Zurdos del mundo, uníos"
Debería ser nuestro grito. Robar la palabra a los que nos intentan insultar con ella.
Tiene mucho más ritmo que "Izquierdista del mundo".
