if memory serves, large quantities of beer was consumed by all 
involved on the side i was affiliated with ... mattter of fact, was 
drinking with the primary name involed on that side earelier this 
evening (grin w/fangs) ... and try to keep up with the other 
particulars who have scattered.   

brough up to the person i mentioned that  perhaps it was time that he
hauled out his gear and belt and hit the field again from time to
time.   i would love to see how someone far better skilled than
myself  (self was "adequate", never great) in "old style" combat
techiques  would fare on the field today.

achives for the future.  but then again weren't my mongol brothers 
famed for their use of "observational diplomacy" to advance their 
causes (evil ++ grin)
