20th cent in general.
Points of to deal with:
The server is in Sweden.
We have members in the US, the UK, Oz, NZ, Germany and France, that I
know of. These 7 countries governments don't always see eye to eye.
For that matter, various political parties with in one country don't see
eye to eye.
On the GZG list it seems to be more about HOW troops in the field are
armed and armored, not WHY the troops are there. Of course, I do tend
to nuke on site SGII messages, as I don't play it (just DSII and FT/MT),
so I may be a little off base here.
As a general rule, in game mailing list in general, talking about the
HOW of armies/troops/etc. while not generate to much problems, in fact
that is what the mailing list may be about. The WHY, on the other hand,
tends to get ugly.
