I think science fiction wargames are better dealt with on rec.games.board, so I'll request followups to go there. If anyone has strong feelings one way or the other on this matter they're welcome to write to military-request@amdcad.amd.com and argue their case. Perhaps I'll relax my standards, but in my early days as moderator I'd rather err on the side of a strict interpretation of the sci.military Charter: sci.military exists for the discussion of military technology and related subjects. Certain peripheral topics, including history, tactics, organization, and theory are welcome to a limited extent, but are considered "guests" in the "sci" heirarchy; such postings should be factual, interesting, and as brief as possible, and will be rejected if they are in any way inflammatory. Arms control discussions properly belong in soc.politics.arms-d, and are not appreciated here. Note especially the keywords "military technology" and "factual", not just "interesting." So, anyone have any interesting facts about military technology to share? :-) -- Carl Rigney Moderator, sci.military
