Maybe, but that's getting away from the original ACW line of "Damn the
torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" (Capt. (Adm.?) Farragut, USN, during the
Battle of Mobile Bay, AFAIK). (I do know that the 'torpedoes' he was
referring to were actually moored naval mines, which were referred to as
torpedoes until the locomotive torpedo (self-propelled) came along 15-20
years later...naval trivia for the day...)

I think "Damn the pulse torps! Full thrust!" is the best version,
personally. Most historically-minded wargamers will get the joke, and
it's
a good slogan besides...
