Inprimus (yes, I have been reading The Reluctant King by deCamp) I was not
aware that the politically correct wargame, hence I was not prepared for such
bile on a wargaming list. Secundus, I'm a generally honest guy, which means if
I'm making an opinion call I point it out. That's the difference between New
Soviet Men and myself. I can tell my opinion from objective fact. Of course, I
don't have that sort of overarching ideological ax to grind, so it doesn't
impair my worldview to admit I could be wrong. Tertius, I have noted that my
response generated a number of answers to me directly to the list. I will be
dealing with these via the correct forum, ie personal e-mail. As I
said, if someone wishes to discuss the record of the US Armed Forces and those
of our allies regarding Laws of Land Warfare, they are
welcome to e-mail me, but I will not further discuss it (except as
strictly applies to GZG products) on this list.

By custom, firing on a sign of truce is considered a no-quarter
announcement. In other words, no prisioners will be taken by either side. I'd
cap some genius that popped someone under a flag of truce, too.

While Colonel Jones was indeed killed as above, there was an incident where
the Argies shot down a British officer after raising a white flag.
Where was this? Was it the Para's, RMs or Gurkha's?

Ok, This is a good change of thread. How about using something other than
markers for dummies in the games? I was thinking that I might put a vehicle on
the table instead of one of those little cardboard markers to indicate a
dummy. [If you hit the dummy with enough fire power it deflates to a marker!]
That would be a good "Obstacle". {Have you ever seen any of those inflateble
tanks? they're neat!}
What other "Obstacles" can we put on the table. Real, miniature, or
psychological are there? And how could we play them?
