Caravel,

Glad you never really left ! I too have enjoyed your posts and have learned all that I don't know about this game, which is plenty. Everyone needs a break sometimes, I didn't play MTW myself for almost 2 years. Even now my current campaign is sitting as I have been busy.

As to getting mugged, ouch ! My wife was robbed a few years ago in Paris, and sadly it was over too quick (a motorcycle drive by snatching) before I realized what had happened (and just far enough away to feel very guilty indeed). I still think my wife is too lax in her attention when out and about, and it turned out we were in the worst area of Paris, near the Gard de Nord (North station), where the Eurostar comes in. All so we could save her friend who came on the trip with us, some money (we usually stay near Concorde, much safer, well relatively anyway).

I pray you're okay and nothing is broken. My wife has pretty recovered from a broken collarbone, but it has been a 2 and 1/2 year process with two surgeries.

Take care and I hope you can recover quickly, both mentally and physically .
