If my esteemed opponent has forgotten about that vehicle for that long,
then we really must toast that tank.

Oh well.  The opposite could be true as well and you could benefit from
his mistake.

Never thought of that Seth ... good point and easy enough to impliment.

Don't forget that around here, we do pretty much any damn thing we want.

Could happen.  Then we would also have to exprapolate any possible
results that that 12 could have caused (MC or PTC).  That in turn would
require the need to consider Sniper attacks, HOB etc.  Interesting
approach, ASL without dice.  It could work and we could let a panel of
judges decide the outcome of events in a scenario.

 Kind of like figure skating.  In order to capture the full spirit of
this new approach to ASL, ASL without dice, appropriate attire is de
rigueur.  Tight, low cut, revealing clothing with ball-catcher spandex
pants would be a must.  

Tournaments would take on a whole new look.  From now on, the simple
ASLOK t-shirt just won't do it.

Hmmm, the snuggy pants may have another added benefit in that they would
likely speed up play as well.  Imagine having to wear vinyl
crotch-grabbers for 10 hours at a tournament.  The itching would be
hell.
