Who?  ;-)

I don't think I've ever actually heard of them. I've heard of Achmedes (sp),
but not of the Achmaenid Empire.

I thought it was the holidays, but traffic sure has been light. Maybe because
it is tax time in the US.

BTW I took a look at R.G.M.W and they seem to be realizing that GW might be
gouging them.

G'day John, Laserlight, everyone,

Ignored, John that is one of your threads I DON'T miss!

> Topic 2--Combat Engineers: Gods? You Bet!

Now it's starting to feel more like the list I know;)

> Topic 3--Roman Empire: Greatest Civilization ever to grace this

If I could come up with a semi-plausible way of having a kick a** space
equivalent of the Achmaenid Empire you're paltry NRE wouldn't stand a fighting
chance! <...mutter, mutter, no one really appreciates a truly great empire
when they see it, mutter, always fixated with those nancy boy bloody Romans,
mutter, bloody romans didn't even have the good decency to wear trousers,

Hope you're having fun John,

Fairly light at the moment, I get about 2 digests a week & those are
usually only 1-2 messages.

I think that some of the traffic has gone over to the encyclopedia list... If
their traffic was here, it would seem more normal.

(I have no idea how the traffic does on that list...Anyone who knows care to
comment?)

> bloody romans didn't even have the good decency to

Yeah. And they were short, too.

Maybe I should write rules for Pictish Power Armor. Great big
blue-painted
things.
