Celestia Whitesword I also remember Scotty doing "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes for Spock's funeral in Wrath of Khan. Everyone who's seen that movie remembers that scene. Its like the Climax of ESB, utterly unforgetable. @Johnny: I remember hearing about that. I seem to recall it was rather effective.

As I tend to say when talking Trek with folks, Wrath, Search and Voyage are an excellent arc/trilogy kinda thing. One of my best friends and I tend to talk a lot about it.

Johnny Malone Sayla, taht talk of the military and bagpipes reminded me of one of the more interesting engagements in the Iraq war, where a bunch of Scots soldiers used the first bayonet charge in 22 years. (The last bayonet charge having been done by a scots regiment during the Falklands War.) Here's an article on it: s**t!]http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-54122.htmls**t! I read about that in the news!

Well none of the Scots died, and they were outnumbered when they did it. I still can't wrap my head around charging with bayonets in modern warfare. The Scottish are crazy bastards to be sure.

The Scottish are crazy bastards to be sure. No one could wrap their heads around it. Thats why the arabs broke rank and fled. Its always the unexpected that wins a battle.

Empire: Total War may be the answer to my strategy gaming prayers.
Early Modern land warfare + early modern naval combat = one happy early modern history major! mrgreen
