Atrocities, however, did call me a...

Re: PBW server is back up.

I would say that 300 - 500 "hardcore" players is not insignificant based on the total announced sales of the product. Again this is all based on conjecture.

Re: Starting tactics

In my experience spoon's strategy is the best for the first 10 turns - If you use any other you've put yourself at a disadvantage. Now as for the rest of the game there are so many factors that come...

Re: Starting tactics

Re: POLL - Are some weapons techs too cheap
