I'd like to start the following game on the list. I plan to start it next week. Any players interested? Chris Engle EXIT STRATEGY CUT AND RUN 7-6-06 Recent...

... So you don't think that Al Quida (whatever the spelling is) would wait? You refute the pundit. Frankly I didn't believe him either. Withdraw would be a...
... Standard transliteration is "al-Qaeda". For some reason, "Al Quida" looks to me like the briefly-marketed breakfast cereal companion to Al-Quake and...
I think to make a game out of this you have to extend the timeline to a few months/years after the pull-out, which would allow consideration of the follow-on...

How in hell did "Liberal Pacifists" get to determine troop strength, discipline, or lack of securing arms caches? And if our troops had the discipline of the...

Thanks for the interest. I'll give it another day but it we don't get other takers then this game will be dead on arrival. Not to worry though, I throw out...
I'll play, I could toss arguments around with John K. but hey I am on the side of those who think we should stay for a hundred years! I could play Ali Q and...
If they didn't start out that way they are definitely in an opportunity rich environment to get that way. Check out the documentary "The Human Behavior...
I didn't get enough response to do "Exit strategy" so now I'll run Evil Wizard School up the flag pole. It is a modified version of one of my folio games. It...

Craftig, There have been various discussions on this List concerning player-voting-based MGs. The conventional wisdom on this matter is that it simply will not...
