Thanks, i think it came out well. Only a few errors on my part, but other then that, i liked it. You know what would b neat? Find a 2 vets. Vet 1 will create a questionnaire, with a series of events , and then asking what responce you would have. The second vet, along with yourself, would fill it out, and it can be looked at as Vet versus Rookie is stategery.

If I recall correctly, Herr Bauers doesn't have his ship built yet - so probably not much of a strategy to write of. Looks like the ball's in your court Boomer!

Good memory!  (However, strictly speaking, bad strategy is still strategy).  

But seriously, you are right, that's a topic that would be better left to a rookie with juuust enough experience to make sense of what he's writing.  And if the scuttlebutt is true then Boomer just might be the right guy for that job.

Alright, well, ive got some time until the next issue, right? I guess ill figure out who to poll, and who to ask to make the questionaire.
Also, i dont have my ship built either, my only experience is a 3 hour fiesta in an Arizona, so i would qualify, wouldnt i?

Maybe just three hours at the helm BUT it appears you've done a good bit of studying and research into theory.  Since the point of the article, as I took it, is to compare and contrast a veteran's approach to tactical and strategic situations against a rookie then you sound qualified to me.

Just an idea. Consider soliciting scenarios and responses from several veterans to spread around the labour. I think djranier would be a good resource and you could probably twist his arm to help you.

Just a suggestion - you may want to find someone who commands a ship similar to the AZ. A cruiser captain would have drastically different strategies than a battleship captain - but even still, AZ vs a New Jersey is still a huge difference.

Cool idea, any class 4-6 captain with an older ship like that would do. I like the article and was hoping to start contributing topics. My time is split right now and I have probably too much going on. Still though, nice job Boomer!
