Pulled that outta my ass in an hour and a half, once I realized I wouldn't have time tomorrow or Saturday to write it up.

And for your viewing pleasure, two haka. The first gives a good explanation, and the second is just a good one.

Truly the most aggressive and fierce Haka I have witnessed in person, is that of Ngati Tumatauenga, tribe of the god of war, otherwise known as the Royal New Zealand Army.

I myself had the Honor and Mana of performing this Haka when I completed my all arms course and was officially a soldier of the army.

In the opening two minutes of this first clip is a good example of it, as you can see its been modernized to fully communicate the spirit of the army. The second video is an up close video of it.

I'm currently inter-state and won't be getting back until tomorrow, after which, I will be monumentally exhausted. My orders will likely be last minute and, for a change, dead simple. All I have to do is add my 7 DRP to that 20 DRP attack we in Eclipse were gonna do on Zephyr this turn.

Well, it's usually best to keep things simple, eh? :D

My uncle was just admitted to Hospice down in Ocala, so I may be AFK all weekend. Moves sent, just in case.

...And it's the return of the old problem of not knowing what to do with that last DRP...

I didn't submit any orders as I have too much on my mind.

I am hoping for a quiet one, having been a focus of the G-d of War for two turns. Since there is no longer a city of cho's to defend on Imray, it is time to experiment, finally.

...hoping all goes well and as expected...

...but I doubt it...

ach, Stone...I don't think I have it in me this Turn. But I would want to submit something, if only for the entry growth.

Just a heads-up - it might take a bit to process this turn, I have two courses the next couple of days, a deadline I need to meet by Friday, and I should begin to prepare a presentation... sorry :P

But why take so long? surely Eclipses 20 drp to shatter the icewalls and start the abyss invasion would result in game over pretty fast?
