    Sadly your right. And not historical pirates. The public prefers Johnny Depp and "Pirates of the Caribbean" over Russell Crowe and "Master and Comander." Ares may should focus on phantom ships with ghost crews instead of HMS Surprise. That's where the real market is.

    Are we nerds, or has Western Civilization died?

    Naw, not nerds. I've seen the hordes of nerds in game stores and they aren't playing historical war games! They can tell you about every aspect of many fantasy lands but not hardly anything about history or geography. And they are the intelligent ones in our society. Western Civilization is dying. Were not nerds, just Neanderthals.

    Actually we're ahead of the coming trend. I've got a keen sense for these things.

    It would be far to difficult for me to pass up on anything dealing with the War of 1812!!

    I'd probably start another war just to make sure they make ships for the period!!

    I hope those are your thoughts and not Ares.

    Edward Scissorhands vs The Gladiator. See it at a theatre near you next holiday season.
