Aimee, my fellow FT (and others I assume) addict, post the pictures! I probably won't see them until Monday (been non-functional since Monday night at work with a (for me) high fever. My wife, the RN, always worries because you can see my functional capability start to disintegrate at 102 and be completely gone by 103. Sadly, she once functioned quite well in a crisis with a recorded 105 plus a fraction elevated temp. Guess they breed them tough up there in Quebec... The fact that she was 'born to be a nurse' in her mind since she entered double digit age and is the best RN in a ICU/CCU setting I have ever seen (though that for years before we got together other then as co-workers) in the fifteen years I spent working as aide, LVN (licensed Vocational Nurse to the non-Californians), modified psych tech, orderly. She's not big on the OR and definitely wasn't for many years a good candidate for the ER but in that setting she rocks. Well, we have wnadered off topic. Sorry. I hear my 12 year old doing the dishes I said I would do before Mom gets home so I'll go and give her a hand. Post the pictures, please. Gracias, Glenn/Triphibious This is my Science Fiction Alter Ego E-mail address. > On Thu, 5 Jul 2001 17:06:18 -0400 kaime@mindspring.com writes:

Uh, yeah, that's what I meant. I can't do attachments anyway (obviously time for another nap...) with Juno! On Thu, 5 Jul 2001 17:47:29 -0400 "Laserlight" <laserlight@quixnet.net> writes:

> Aimee, my fellow FT (and others I assume) addict, post the pictures! Glenn - get well soon! Aimee - I'm sure everyone (myself included) would love to see the pics, but please don't post the actual pictures to the mailing list - it's against the list etiquette; put them on a suitable website somewhere and post the URL to the list.

I'll try to get the pics up on my or another's web site. We had a huge 'Battle of the Line' with the Kra'Vak attacking Earth at this past WarFair. If I remember correctly there were 5 players per side (10 total.) It was an all night gaming blast and we have some great pics showing some of the highlights. I need to assemble all of the pics from the various people and perhaps write a 'battle report' to detail the action. There will be some more FT gaming this weekend at Atlanta's Sci-Fi Summer and perhaps more pics. Aimee [quoted original message omitted]

The SAS diggers were waiting to get extracted by 2 platoons of Power armour and some VTOLS. A very interesting game that went to the wire on the extraction chances of the SAS. They were eventually gunned down. Apparently they had issues with contacting the orbiting Aero Space support for a strike mission. We also had a DSII scenario where a reinforced company of light infantry, plus a detachment of Combat walkers and a platoon of infantry walkers were holding a town for shuttles to escape. Each Shuttle was worth a victory point. The invading forces were able to 'recycle' casualties into follow in forces that were committed as the casualties were made. Basically a finite Blue force that must give ground eventually and an ever coming horde of Red force. Also a very fun scenario.

The invading forces were able to 'recycle' casualties into We did something similar when we wnt to the local con in Launceston (city north of Hobart) this year, but the scary thing was that the ESU side didn't need to recycle their casualties. For your viewing pleasure:)
