Heh.

Well, I can't say I've ever really complained about scatterpacks (mainly
'cause I rarely, if ever, use 'em ;), but a number of people here know
(either from word-of-mouth or sitting across the table watching me roll)
that I have lousy luck with pulse torps. I was testing out a couple of
fleet designs earlier today, one of them pulse-torp-armed (1 torp/ship).
Of the 4 ships which got to fire their torps 9 times all total, only *1*
hit; even the couple ships that got to less than 6" missed. I hit with
B-batts more often than not.

Maybe it's my dice, and they know when I'm firing pulse torps.	*shrug*
All I know is that, tactics not withstanding, I have a hideous time
hitting with p-torps.  :-/

(oh dude, trim your included replies a bit; there was a *heck* of a lot
of included stuff - and what was that attachment thing?)

If the conquest of a great peak brings moments of exultation and bliss,
which in the monotonous, materialistic existence of modern times nothing
else can approach, it also presents great dangers.  It is not the goal
of
*grand alpinisme* to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must 
undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of 
crawling grubs.
