Max,Agreed, and I didn't intend to slight the assistance by the French, Spanish, Dutch. In fact, my initial listing for the category "No Adjustments Needed" was "France", but I realized that wasn't historically accurate since they were not sitting on the sidelines.

hmm well I dont like single line statements on history, but I must point out that the colonies had a lot of help from the French, (and spanish and dutch) and its very unlikely the revolution would have succeeded without them...from a purely military perspective..in those early years....not to take anything away from my good friends your celebration of what was the birth of the greatest nation the world has ever seen.  I  for one thank God America is here and remains the superpower.

Subject: DC406: Fall 08 Retreats!

Hi all,
Retreats are in early! Seems that good planning allows for quick decisions. Whether those decisions are right or wrong remains to be determined.Reminds me a bit of the US holiday we in the States are about to celebrate. The Americans planned well, had a good purpose to fight for. The Brits, on the other hand, didn't take the revolt seriously, thought they were putting down a small revolution, and didn't bring in the big guns until too late. We all know how well THAT strategy worked.


Retreats, Fall 08:-------------------------Gnomes: A Newa River - Elephant GraveyardOgres: A Cyriss - Moominvalley
Look at this -- for once, everyone still in the game has either a build or a disband; no one is sitting on the sidelines just watching.
