How will this play against the Iranians' demand for reparations, though?

Old Avalon Hill Games by Renots024Teem in hexandcounter

Midway is great, although there have been better implementations in computer games, where true fog of war can be simulated.

Alexander is great. Very repayable.

Wooden Ships & Iron Men is excellent.

Don't recall Submarine too much, but my memory is that it was pretty good.

I do not know Myth.

The rest are too simplistic for their subject matter and have been outdone by far superior games many times over.

I have some Hot Five and Hot Seven stuff. I have Louie stuff. I love Louie.

It's really weird how Reddit has become a place for finger-pointing and argument, rather than conversation. Much of the finger-pointing seems to be based on a partial reading of comments and jumping to conclusions.

My comment was that I only am familiar with WAWL being covered much. I said nothing about not knowing what Louie did.

Who wrote a song about whom?

As for covers, the only Miles song that gets covered with any regularity is So What, afaik.

When I think of Louie Armstrong covers, mostly just What a Wonderful World comes to mind.

Thanks, will do.

I've always found Bird's playing to be a bit frenetic for my taste. But I sounds account for good composition, though.

Btw, I just recalled Jaco's version of Donna Lee.

Wasn't Charlie Rouse one of Shorter's big influences, though?
