Are they in Cuneiform or Egyptian hieroglyphics?

Where's Methos when you need him?

During all these years a lot of things have changed in my life and both time and interest in some matters had fizzled out a little; also my own worldview has become more radical and probably is now at odds with the one of the majority of the members of the forum, at least for how I remember it.

Nevertheless, while reading unrelated history books I suddenly remembered of TLW and, out of curiosity, I tried to reach the old board, only to found it de facto out of service.

I briefly thought that, after so many years, maybe people just let it die but I decide to attempt looking for it in the larger Internet and so I got in here again: I also read that some items had meanwhile been lost, including fact-files written by me, then I said to myself "Well, let's try get them for these guys" .

Such research however has proven unsuccessful: way too many laptop changes and USB pen or portable Hard Disk gone, not to mention online links and bookmark no more active.

To fix this I decided to completely rewrite them, even if at slow pace, with more details and more documented/realistic numbers.

The first one will be the 2005 AM OrBat, very soon available in its 2.0 version.

Hope you'll find it useful.

P.S. Thanks to Matt for the account's activation.

As for the AM, I'm in the final editing for forum view, I hope tò post it during this weekend, while the EdA's OrBat needs just the Iberia commandeered fleet section.

Speaking of the Romanian history factfile: I still have a rough draft that with some additional research should be OK for posting; in the end it's all about get some free time to work on it
