THE PULP FICTION GUN SAFETY CHALLENGE: A while back I noticed that Pulp Fiction would make a great gun safety training film. After all, the scene in the car, which causes our anti-heroes so much trouble, helps illustrate two of the three basic rules of gun safety:

This would be a fun Flash to make.

USS Clueless (Captain's log): There are a lot of government and military leaders around the world right now who are feeling distinctly nervous. This is a good thing. The conduct of this war has punctured some pleasing myths about the US.

(Captain's log): Yesterday was truly an amazing day.After two days of massive combat in which we may well have inflicted thousands of casualties on the militant defenders, there was an outright collapse. When that kind of thing happens, it can be breathtakingly sudden, and we went in just 24 hours from major combat in Baghdad to people dancing in the streets.

The visual image most people have, the iconic moment that truly meant the end of the Cold War, was when the people of Berlin tore down the wall. The iconic image from the war in the Pacific was the raising of the flag on top of Mount Suribachi on Iwo, even though the battle there raged for several more weeks after that moment.

I think that the iconic image of Iraqi victory will be that yesterday of American Marines pulling down a major statue of Saddam, to the glee of the crowd that proceeded to dance on it and kick it. The war isn't over yet, but it's a key moment nonetheless.

Matrix Games and ADG To Bring Empires in Arms to the Computer!
Deal Signed to Develop Classic Napoleonic Wargame
Staten Island, NY, September 23rd, 2002 - Matrix Games and Australian Design Group (ADG: www.a-d-g.com.au ) are pleased to announce that the classic game of Napoleonic Grand Strategy, Empires In Arms, will be adapted for computer play with some new enhancements and features. Development is already well underway, with an expected release date of mid-2003.

Empires In Arms was first published as a board game in 1983, nominated "Game of the Year" at Origins and quickly licensed to the Avalon Hill Game Company. Empires In Arms remains an extremely popular Napoleonic board game, with a worldwide following and a best-selling reputation for excitement and depth of play.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said "We have been developing a strategic Napoleonic wargame for some time. We always found ourselves talking about ADG’s Empires In Arms. Harry Rowland and Greg Pinder are excellent designers and I’m delighted that we have this opportunity to bring one of our personal favorites to a new generation of wargamers."



Harry Rowland, Managing Director of Australian Design Group, said "Empires in Arms was our first ever design, is one of our most successful releases and has always been one of our favourite games to play. Matrix Games has a fine reputation and we are very excited about them introducing the incomparable glory of the Napoleonic era to computer gamers throughout the world."

Empires In Arms allows players to recreate the Napoleonic Period (1805-1815) as one of the major European powers (Austria, France, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Turkey). Each nation has unique military, diplomatic and economic challenges on the path to power and glory. For those with an interest in intelligent strategy gaming or the Napoleonic period, there are few more rewarding or engrossing experiences.
