Mr. Davis, Mr. Siefert

1) Kevlar won't solve your problem, it is not good versus sharp objects like
blades. Relatively speaking, a knife is more dangerous to kevlar than a
bullet. You could get metal mesh lined gloves, but those are brutal. I have a
better suggestion. Carefully consider each cut so that it goes away from your
fingers. Use clamps (vices, C clamps, other kinds) to hold your figures. Get a
ball vise. Remove the holding hand
from the Eq'n. Then consider some power tools to help out - a rotary
tool can often do the job you might be trying to do with the edge of an
exacto. Or try different blade formats - some are far harder to cut
yourself with than a standard (type 1 ?) blade - I have several I can
work with and experience lower risk. but the clamps are the big part. Be
careful... you only have 1 set of hands....

2) Mr.Davis, your comment about America vs. Canada at GZG ECC I with a Brit
Referee was noted. Where's my Divine Piledriver?;)

Seriously.... I meant something more like a BYOF with the Canadians versus the
US on a big massive board. I'd take a fleet Jim, Tom and JP could put together
against anyone... (Heck, Jim alone could probably field (after some painting)
nearly as many ships as I've seen at GZG
ECC....in total....). :)

Something fun like this would make a good equivalent for the beer game for
Saturday night too. Losers buy breakfast or something.

Just a thought.

It's a good one, Tom. I just enjoy giving you a little more grief. Our game
was a good one and we have some great memories from it. It's what this hobby
is about.

Keep the idea in your pocket and we can try to find a time slot for it. We'll
also need good representation on the USA side. I have designed some notorious
ships also.

WOOHOO! sounds good to me.
