All this prime real estate - and it doesn't even have that gamer-odour
yet!

I'd better grab a nice chair and one of the big gaming tables while they're
still free...:)

So who else is out here?

I'm not.  ;-)  And I didn't bring my p-torp armed ships, either.  ;-)

I'm not much older at 26. And no, I didn't buy a damn thing on buy nothing

Now, to bring this back on topic, I recently made a very cool command bunker
for 15mm SGII battles. The reason I mention this is because I used the plastic
container from a new Apple Stylewriter cartridge. It looks like a heavily
reinforced concrete box. All
I added was a door and a communictions tower (w/ arial and microwave
antenna). Another cool computer bit to make terrain!

Well, there are Kra'Vak around here I can smell them. And when we find them,
maybe a few Narn Bat squads would help deal with them. A few T'loths wouldn't
hurt either.

Mike spake thusly upon matters weighty:

AHA! But you must be a Kra'Vak Symp because you are ordering an attack on the
humans, who have aided your cause against the
Fan-Heads. Obviously a TurnCoat from the causes of the Alliance. Not
a true believer in G'Kar or G'Quon obviously..... (grin)

Ya know, I've been list-enabled for what, 2- 3  years? Despite the
occasional verbal spat, it has been a helluva time! I still get occasional
emails from old friends wondering what the hell a " Bellerephon" is and what a
Greek horse has to do with me...(Indy!)

over to our new home. So pack up those bats and lets get moving!"

marriage between the Bin'Tak Dreadnought and the T'Loths. Nasty looking ships.

Then there's that mysterious fleet of shimmering gold saucers. (And if I'm
lucky, I'll get in a couple of games with my brother and nephew over the
Thanksgiving holiday! They've yet to be blooded.) (Or bloodied, as the case
may be.)

Sam, It can't be the 'MCLM' (Mar'Cal Le'Mer). They have black saucers (mostly)
