There is a movie about it (the premise, not the man. I don't think it did well domestically in Korea though but user reviews on metacritic and IMDB have it in the 70-80%).

It also reminds me of one of the theories regarding Alexander's the Great War Elephants. It basically theorizes that the Elephants that Pyrrhus of Epeiros used to defeat the Romans were the original ones captured by Alexander the Great 50 year previous when he was in India (They live around 70 years so it is possible in strictly a biological sense). Just goes to show how imba ivory was in real life.

You can single me out, you know. I'm kind of crazy and paranoid when gaming but I also shut up when asked

Nah, I think it's a good idea to take regurlarly a step back and re-evaluate our situation from different angles and see if there has been any changes that affect our position. Military is definitely an important topic and IMO there is no harm to ask ourselves once in a while whether we have enough defenses.
Most of the time this kind of double-checking does not lead to any changes, but sometimes we may pick a risk or a scenario that we have not considered thoroughly.

Well its good to have one person oppose all unanimous verdicts as a matter of course just so all the pros and cons and be put forward as well as the next best alternative.

So is Plako the game Tzar yet and if so, can we find a solution to the German problem?

A proposed partial solution to the war-time turn problem lies waiting for someone (preferably Ruff) to step up and actually send the proposal to CFC, but I'm not picky right now.
Also, feel free to discuss the placement of our national wonders.
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width

yes - but the way in which they ran in out this time was great - logging in less than 3 hours before the turn roll - but STILL not ending ending turn. Really??
