[ASLML] Armies of Oblivion Release Date

[Eric Winter]

Hey, getting them to _land_ is the easy part. Getting them to _survive_

had landed - but it was actually several kilometers up, and it turned
off the landing rockets. Talk about expending a stop movement point....

Crap! If we're waiting for a NASA probe to land, then we may be in for a
long wait. Anybody check to make sure that all departments used the same
