    I haven't developed any of the scenarios enough to post them to my
web
site.  However, as they become ready, they will be added to the vault of

"The world has no room for cowards.
 We must all be ready to toil, to suffer, to die.
 And yours is no less noble because no drum beats
 before you when you go out in your daily battlefields.
 And no crowds shout about your coming when you
 return from your daily victory or defeat."
