Well, we knew about the age old caravan tactic and given that of the 8 of us, 2 are royal marines and 1 is an ex-paratrooper, part of the discussion was about the origins of the 'laager tactic' - the general consensus is that it developed from the germanic tribes such as the marcomani and avars who tended to be wagon-nomadic although one smart alec here considers it is chinese in origin

The rest of the discussion is based on what possible 'politically incorrect anatomically impossible' ahem 'act' could be described as a 'circling of wagons' - that discussion is ongoing and I think you have created a monster here

<pause to guffaw mightily> one of the lads has just come up with a suggestion which defies belief - must go

I dropped the "Sir" when I noticed that several of the members here were from countries where "Sir" was more of a serious earned title.

Oh, I don't know that that applies to England any more - I think even Bill Clinton and possibly even Wubbya Bush have been/are going to be made 'sirs' - kind of devalues the whole think - now baron, that is the title for me

'Baron Growltigga of Cheshire' - that I like the sound of

BTW, one of the lads has now raised the 'circle the wagons' issue to the accountants from pricewaterhousecoopers downstairs - they are laughing so hard they need oxygen but the general consensus is that if 8 solicitors and 4 accountants can't come up with a creative description, no-one can

oops, just been told the property consultant is in on it so that is 13 of us

I get the feeling this will keep us going through the night, I hope you dont want royalties!

BTW: have you noticed my number of Posts?

When I think of it, most likely the first group of peoples to have wagons, circled them each night. I'm trying to figure out how to use it in SE IV. The AI seems to only attack from one direction and as such the tatic is uselss

And reguarding creating a "Monster". I put my answer in a different thread here.

If you want an "anatomically possible" Version, just think about the old ice-breaker party-type game where everyone stands in a circle, facing clockwise (or counterclockwise, as long as everyone conforms to the decision), and then sit down on each other's laps...

Or was that too graphic for y'all?
