Maybe a refresh that says "hey you picked Rest of the World" or some such announcement??
is the site supposed to do something after I click on ROW?
Well, I guess Demian is very, very enthused 
Celtos it is then!
Thanks guys,
I forget sometimes, that my tone, timbre, and inflection don't come across when I type.
Sigh, I hope for audio email someday (ooh... business venture there, who wants to go in with me, I just need $2,000,000usd and we're on!)
you guys rock!
don't you mean "putting a Q in everything <chuqle>"?
Those are very cool.
I'm going to take them as inspiration for the next CN fleet I buy (Octoberish hopefully)
:oops: I'm sorry, I think I sounded a bit like an ass in that post.
I would play that way if I was at your house and you suggested that rule.
I meant that I hadn't really considered playing it that way.
Boy, I gotta drink more coffee

AFAIK, PEN and DMG do not affect fighters at all, however, I would think you could implement a house rules that says extra DMG dice cause more than one hit to aflight of heavy fighters.
I wouldn't play that way, but that's just me.

is this system automated? IOW does the Computer map them for you?
very nicely written.
It captures what I really, really like about starmada. Depth and originality.

I thought it would be cool to do a PBEM-VBAM game, using the latest in php technology to dynamically run the campaign.
but I'm lazy
Pics man, Quiero cuadros!

yes, it was a fun game.
it would work great as a drinking game

It's probably a problem with tech levels. There was a fix to the sxca that displayed tech levels on the output sheet, but I think those changes got lost at one point of another.
The thing about tech levels is that they don't change the point values of the ships, just that you can cram more suff into the ship and because of that, you get a higher overall coombat rating.
Mike can tell us better what the tech levels are for the ships.
Looks like we definately need those tech level changes put into the output sheet for the ship generator.
And for those who play the starmada Victory by Any Means, that sxca needs the fix as well.
Wow, maybe we need a sourceforge project to keep track of all of this.
yes devin and ben are my two oldest.
and I use the adobe print to pdf to generate pdfs from a word doc like this one.
I've been known to print to pdf from my real computer (mac at home)
I've also been known to exprt to Postscript and drop that onto acrobat distiiller.

You've got hundreds of dice. I know you do.
Imagine you're in the middle of a really boring RPG session and your 2nd level halfling rogue has died (yet again) and the Big Bad Butt-ugly Barbarian is lost in the minotaurs maze so nobody else has anything to do either.
Well, here's your salvation.
Wardice is a quick-playing, easy to understand, well thought out, highly playtested adaptable and fun wargame. In other words, just another great game by your friends at Majestic Twelve.

Not an unoriginal thought, however, if humans are fertilizer, then all the earth's creatures should be trapped in the cage with the people.
I really liked the red mist scene and how it parallelled the grey dust scene.
I wanted to shout the gray dust is PEOPLE! in the theatre (a-la soylent green), but thought the wife would be embarrased.
I did want the couple sitting next to me to be sucked up by martians during most of the movie on account of the incessant TALKING OUT LOUD.
I wish I could afford to buy all the seats in the entire theatre when I go to a movie.
like I said, A-
But more still
They communicated with one another by means of sirenlike howls, running up and down the scale from one note to another.
So there's more than one way to talk to a martian.
And, for "flavor"
For so it had come about, as indeed I and many men might have foreseen had not terror and disaster blinded our minds. These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things--taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle, and to many--those that cause putrefaction in dead matter, for instance--our living frames are altogether immune. But there are no bacteria in Mars, and directly these invaders arrived, directly they drank and fed, our microscopic allies began to work their overthrow. Already when I watched them they were irrevocably doomed, dying and rotting even as they went to and fro. It was inevitable. By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers; it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.
this one make the hair on the back of my neck stand up, "by the toll of a billion deaths has man brought his birthright upon the earth"
Man, that guy was good.
Moral of the story: When invading earth from 60 million miles away and a million years ago, don't drink the water
As it passed it set up an exultant deafening howl that drowned the thunder--"Aloo! Aloo!"--and in another minute it was with its companion, half a mile away, stooping over something in the field. I have no doubt this Thing in the field was the third of the ten cylinders they had fired at us from Mars.
so there you are 
"exhultant" -- excellent use of the word.
Happy to help
heh most peopl I talked to said they liked the tuba noise the walkers made and wished for the heat ray noise back
trust you to be an original thinker Jerry
Just saw the movie, and I absolutely loved it.
1) I could care less what religion/psycho movement tom cruise belongs to. I think he did a pretty good job.
2) I disliked the framing the girl on screen when she screamed part.
3) the martian "people" ROCKED! I want minis. NOW
4) the martian tripods rocked too, I want minis for those too
5) I wondered why the martians didn't attack the rich side of town where grandma and grandpa lived. hm. I guess poor humans "taste" better.
6) the scene in the basement was right out of the original movie and it was awesome. The suspense brought me back to when I was a kid and saw the movie. That part frightened me more than anything else int he movie.
7) The scene at the end where the tripod opened and the three-fingered hand came out and the creature died in a puddle og it's own mucus was right out of the original move and it rocked too.
8) Spielberg is up one notch because of this movie.
9) great story, I wish I'd have written it.
I give it a solid A-
