    There were islands/colonies all over the Caribbean. I have always been under the impression that it was relatively easy to operate (and catch an std) in the area.

    Nice work on ganking my joke..



    Anyway OT, I'd loved to have fought at the battle of Watling Street. Maybe suggest a more ordered or tactical approach to the Boudica. I'd love to see Britain non-Romanized.

    Wouldn't mind going to 'Nam, or the Western Front in WW2, or WW1.

    I've got a new theory on life, and with this, I wouldn't mind doing my bit in any war, as long as I was fighting for a cause I believed in.

    I would not have wanted to be in any war at any time.

    Maybe peace would have been worst than war under german/japanese domination, so let us say word war II but this is not a positive choice.

    The Great Migrations. Raiding across the border: loot, women, booze -- and hardly a chance that the Romans would ever catch you

    If I had to pick one, I'd be an american soldier in the first three weeks of the secon Iraqi war. Not that I'd be fighting for a good cause or anything, it's just that the american army was quite superior to the Iraqi one, and didn't starve like most other armies in history.
    Second would be being a longbowman at Crécy, particularly if in the last rank of the company. Although physically exhausting, at least I would be safe from real dangerous melee.

    Definite last choice would be any solder i WWI.
    It's not easy being a man, you know. I had to get dressed today... And there are other pressures.
