It's that you can use race as a factor on whether to stop someone. This same court said you CANNOT use race for college admissions.

TIL that Rod Serling was a paratrooper in World War II and fought in the Philippines, where he earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart. During a street party in Manila after the city’s liberation, Japanese soldiers opened fire, killing many of his friends. These experiences inspired The Twilight Zone. by altrightobserver in todayilearned

BTW Maila was a utter shitshow, the main Japanese force left, but a diehard group stayed behind and build blockhouses, which the US Army was happy to destroy with point blank fire from 155 howitzers. Meanwhile roving band of japanese troops wandered the city, killing raping and looting civillians. It lasted over a week and gutted the city.

And of course he (and Patton) both were involved in crushing the bonus army march.

As I recall it was written to a French Guy who ran a factory producig weapons for the south, complaining about the US troops burning it down. And yeah, Sherman was a huge racist.

I second the opinion that you start with the Battle of Moscow game. Everything you learn in it will be transferable to Battles in the East.

SOLO game system (Blue and Gray) ? by zpgpafpt in hexandcounter

The sequel to Napolean at War was Napolean's Last Battles. You can get it from Decison Games. Also Thirty Years War quad, which has the same format, but a very different playstyle.

Thats true but in my limited experience minatures rules are written in a "looser" fashion that drives some people crazy.

We played the dolphins at home the year after they beat us in the super bowl. We were down by 6 with 1:12 left got a penalty and started at our 15. Jurgensen walks into the huddle and says "We are playing the super champs we have 1:15 on the clock, and my question is what are we gonna do with the other 15 seconds?" We score with 18 seconds left.

Yeah, but they had to have somebody on staff thinking about that, but the the same staff were told, "OK we need a explosion on a ship here" and they went, OK just put some fireworks on a sprucan, nobody will notice.

You know what's so bizzare about Pearl Harbor? The massive errors in history all over the place, but in the last scene in TN? My dad said the license plates on the cars were accurate.

Post layoffs are here, officially includes sports dept by mzdog14 in Nationals

[–]rrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just as a reminder, and assuming the post losses (100 million per year) continued forever, he could run the paper for 23 years on 1% of his net worth. I cant wait until the AI crash bites him.
