Subject: (1633) "All Vargr who have grey fur are unintelligent..."
Prompted by that fact, the three of us immediately plopped down
to play "BattleTech" (Jame and I had never played it, and Richard
had only played once, a long time ago). After a frustrating 2
1/2 hours battling crummy dice-rolls, two teen-age "munchkins",
and a squad CO with a distinct lack of tactical ability, we were
finally forced (due to session time limitations) to abort our
mission. (Richard and I were privately wishing that Peter Berg-
hold, Rob Dean, and a few of the other TML'ers with military
experience had been there so we could have REALLY kicked some 30-
meter, cybernetic ass!) The high point of the game was the end,
when the GM awarded James the first-place trophy for "Best Play-
er" (a decision that Richard and I both agree was the only cor-
rect one to make. I'll leave the gory details of that particular
battle to James. C'mon James, don't be modest!!)

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I hate to tell you that my
military experience consists of twenty years of being a military
buff, eighteen years of being a wargamer, and nine years of being
an Amry civilian engineer who never even gets to touch anything
vaguely resembling a weapon. All theoretical, you know...
