We were discussing how many atomic BTs players normally get... Doesn't it seem like the added value of the 4th BT is higher than any other? If you get your 4th...

I agree with this analysis. It does raise an interesting historical question, though. How many bombs did we produce after Little Boy and Fat Man, and how...
I'm fine with this change. Makes sense to me. Mike. ... From: Tim Schroeder To: aworldatwar@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 3:10 PM Subject:...
