1569 4/12/2024 5:06:00 PM Turn 16 Jeremy R Message Hi Shannon

You doing OK?

Nothing much so far - just a bunch of time servers looking for commands. Still, at least the AoC now has some cavalry.

Started a game with Rick Coyne. Tried playing duplicate at first, but he has a lot going on, so we cut it down to one. He wanted to play the CSA, but we've agreed several pro-CSA options.

Weird game. The first turn used the all CPs from two ties; second turn finished early; third turn finished before I used any CPs. We're on the fourth turn now and the AoP is going walkabout in VA.

File uploaded. All yours.

1562 4/4/2024 10:08:00 PM Turn 16 Shannon M Message Also, if we play again do you play the CSA? Some players who wish to be the Union refuse to play the CSA in my experience. Very strange behavior which I have encountered several times.
1561 4/4/2024 9:03:00 PM Turn 16 Shannon M Message Thanks. We'll play this out and see how it goes.

Have you played any games until turn 19? Some of your comments make me think your games conclude no later than turn 14.

Back to gaming soon. FYI.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
1558 3/2/2024 12:57:00 AM Turn 16 Shannon M Message On Sunday afternoon I was hiking with my older brother and his wife. He fell over and froze up and blood was coming out of his nostrils. We had no cell reception so rescue vehicles were delayed. I'm not sure if it would have made a difference as he died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease and Atherosclerosis. The grief has been really hard on me and others so it has been hard to concentrate on deep games.

I am improving so I will get a move soon but wanted to explain the reason for my delay when I said I was going to move very soon.
1557 2/24/2024 12:22:00 AM Turn 16 Shannon M Message Sorry for the delay. I got sick again. :(

Getting better and will have time to review my strategy with a clear head. Gotta give you a challenge so that your crushing victory is earned heh

1554 1/14/2024 1:56:00 PM Turn 16 Jeremy R Message Have a good trip, and good luck with the job application.

If you can access it, cannot recommend this series highly enough:

https://www.itv.com/watch/mr-bates-vs-the-post-office/10a0469/10a0469a0001

It's based on real events and the whole country is in uproar over it, so much so that the government is rushing through a bill in an attempt to fix things. More than a week after it was first shown, it is still in the news every day. The real irony is that, judging from other stuff I've seen on youtube and else where, the reality is even worse than is shown.

1553 1/14/2024 1:41:00 PM Turn 16 Jeremy R Message ASJ sits and thinks in Memphis while turn 15 ends with the destruction of another Confederate force in the West. At this rate, he'll have the only force left.

Complicated end of turn, so I created two log files in case I screwed up: one for the end of the Action Phase; one for the housekeeping. Over to you fir checking and initial CPs and first initiative roll.

Yes, knew about that - it's pretty obvious it must be the case when 21.6 reduces the cost to enter Confederate boats. What I find odd about the Supply Loss Schedule is the 69-50 VP range, when all the other ranges are 10.

1527 12/30/2023 11:07:00 AM Turn 15 Jeremy R Message The weather over the holidays has been truly awful here (snow, ice, torrential rain, 80 mph winds), so didn't do much over the holidays, other than a few visits. But, on the good side, it gave me an excuse for playing some games and catching up on my reading.

Seen KB's documentary a couple of times. In fact, it's showing on PBS America at 16:00 GMT. Worth watching for Shelby Foote alone.

I don't have a view on whether Churchill was a war criminal, though I suspect plenty of allied leaders would have been judged guilty if the same standards had been applied to both sides. My problems with Churchill are the incompetence, the self-aggrandizement, the double standards and the lies. I don't really know enough about Viet Nam to have a view on Kissinger. However, it doesn't stop my being glad that Harold MacMillan and Harold Wilson kept the UK out of it.

I was not impressed by Obama either. As far as most politicians are concerned, Plato nailed it a long time ago: "Those who seek power are not worthy of that power".

1521 12/29/2023 2:37:00 AM Turn 15 Shannon M Message Seems like an uphill battle to convince people that Churchill shouldn't be idolized. There's too much out there that already does so.

Now, Kissinger as a war criminal, well, the US didn't idolize him. So people are attacking him now that he's dead though if there was a case wouldn't they have brought him to trial already?

The southern states of the USA have always been demonized by the left. Since Obama became President back in the day it's obvious that more people in the southern states don't want to be held to old ideals. We're trying to bury history to make ourselves feel better.

As long as some CSA monuments and statues remain in the parks I'm tolerant enough. The decision was already made and no one consulted me on bad decisions.

Even if you can't, the customer reviews will give you a good idea.


>>>Historically humans have removed monuments and other pieces of history that emotionally bothered them. The Egyptians were arguably worse than the Americans. Can't speak for the Brits but you might.<<< We had a couple of months of statues being defaced and torn down when the BLM thing kicked off. We also had people demanding that businesses affirm their support for BLM even if they had no conceivable connection - Games Workshop and others were criticized for orcs being black. But, predictably enough, the media and the mobs lost interest after a while. Presumably, they have found other molehills to get upset about. None of this compares with what happened to Oliver Cromwell et al after the restoration.

>>> Americans would rather delete their history than face some hard history IMO. <<<

If the history is wrong, or biased, then correct it, by all means. However, manipulating or deleting it simply because some people can't deal with unpleasant truths is, to me, childish, particularly when the classics are being rewritten to avoid giving offence. "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

Strangely enough, though, there are some statues I would be happy to see toppled: Winston Churchill, for example.

Americans would rather delete their history than face some hard history IMO. As long as they don't remove all of the CSA statues I think that's tolerable. On the other side of the coin is that those statues and monuments were put up during the Jim Crow laws to keep Black Americans down.

1500 12/13/2023 6:18:00 PM Turn 15 Jeremy R Message I doubt most people in Glasgow know much about what the Confederate flag represents - its use is more likely to do with seeing it on TV and in movies. Also, the British don't place that much importance in flags, so removing the Stars and Bars wouldn't have concerned people that much.

On the other hand, I don't see how removing artefacts changes anything that happened. Worse, it is too reminiscent of 1984 and the Soviet airbrushing of images to make me feel comfortable about it.




1499 12/13/2023 5:51:00 PM Turn 15 Jeremy R Message The supplies didn't do Old Pete much good, but the Union camp is subdued by the loss of Hancock. Was he worth 20,000 Rebs? We'll have to see.

1491 12/12/2023 11:19:00 PM Turn 15 Shannon M Message Interesting read about how the CSA has impacted England.

The country is pushing away its history arguably but one could make the case that the csa flag communicates ideals no longer acceptable.

Though if one had an actual flag as a military relic nobody would understand that.

>>> He's wimpy about leader losses. Created house rules to get around losing the best comms.<<< He's not the only one. But amazing how many were killed or wounded due to mix ups.

Lots of Lovecraft stuff out there. BBC radio has dramatised "At the Mountains of Madness" and "The Shadow over Innsmouth". At college, knew someone who had a vinyl album of David McCallum reading "The Dunwich Horror". And, of course, there's "Herbert West Reanimator". The Necronomicon even makes it into "The Evil Dead".

Also interesting is "The King in Yellow" - the style is very like Lovecraft's.
