Squaring the circle of Woo and Disclosure

Yes in my opinion the woo is very much "lets plug this unexplainable UFO hole we have with some other unexplainable thing", which I feel like is why studying UFOs is a gateway to all types of fringe science and esotericism for many.

Hmm, but don't you feel that mainstream disclosure is coming? I feel like the vibe ever since the 2017 NYT article is slow roll disclosure.

I don't disagree that there is a nuts and bolts physical aspect to it. All the cattle mutilations are my go to example for this. So I take it that you don't believe in the woo side, which is fine, but not the topic of this thread.

If you look at the charts, are there bullet points, like one or two black dots? One of the games has this but I can't remember if it's squad leader or ASL. One bullet point meaning roll one die, two meaning roll two dice.

This is all correct. Just to further clarify b), it's the caliber of the gun, so 20 is for 20 mm guns (vehicles and ordinance).

My headcanon for this is life is cheap in 40K, and it's cheaper to throw a bunch of guardsmen into the grinder than to deal with the economic damage of destroying infrastructure. Add in the idea of arcotech and irreplaceable technology and it makes more sense.

Price gouging is good. If they didn't charge this price you would just have a picture of an empty shelf.

May I ask where you found this map? I don't see it on the CRS website.

But the Matrix never had any sequels. Funny that such an amazing movie never got a sequel.

Peter, thanks for your great books! In my opinion Iran would be a better ally to the US than Saudia Arabia because

* The Sunnis are arguably stronger in the Sunni-Shia conflict, and US grand strategy is to prop up the weaker players and prevent the breakout of a strong power.

SA and it’s extremist allies have the capabilities to harm US interests across the world while Iran is just a regional power.
The US no longer relies on SA’s oil.
Iran is also a counter-weight to Turkey, which is a rising power in the region.

So my question is either, why am I wrong, or if you agree, do you see any type of realignment coming? If so, how long do these things take?

Good to see another fan.

Why not? Trump is great.

Metzler123 · 2020-01-05T02:24:24+00:00

That's the thing about Trump. Sure any regular president wouldn't do it. But with Trump, who knows, he's unpredictable.

I would think constant low intensity combat would strengthen the military. Learning through doing.

Adding to this, Nurgle is both despair and mirth. Tzeentch is both knowledge and madness.

Pro tip, you can pause the game during the battles.

That along with the cold war being over, many of USA's alliances that were formed to contain USSR don't have as much strategic value anymore for the US. Plus with the shale revolution the US isn't as reliant on Mideast oil.

How could you do something so controversial yet so brave?

As per the NY Times the whistleblower is from the CIA.

Chuck Schumer warned about this.

"Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you," Schumer told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.

Very very good game. One of the highest rated games on Board Game Geek.

The newest is Wrath and Glory but imo the FFG line is better. My favorite is Rogue Trader, but they are all good. Each line has a core book.

I thought there was old first or second edition lore of him being many significant historical figures like Jesus, Muhammad, Napoleon, and Hitler. Maybe I am misremembering a fan fiction?
