Please quit making such cool games, ok?
I bet I am not the only woman whos sitting and pouting on the couch, watching stupid reruns on TV while her husband busily refights a war that ended a long time ago. So I got tired of this, you know what I mean? Stupid me, I thoght that if I learn to play the stupid thing then we will have more togetherness. I was right but not like I thought. Now all we talk about is why I lost Richmond, 
or why I lost New Orleans , or how he let me surprise him with my horses, that he knew that I was going to pounce all along. (So far, the most important thing I have learned is that horses are good for pouncing. :dada 
Do you have a book or something that I can read, so that I can beat him all the time, and make him shut up about why Vicksburg has to have a fort and stuf f like that? See, because hes a man, he has the ego. I think that if I win to much, he will shut up about your civil war game, and remember that there are other things in life besides beating me. But I like your maps.
Sincerely,
Aphrodite Mae
PS I will not buy any more of your games unless I start beating him.
PPS You need to have a "none of your business" option for birthday date.
when i play 
If you are who you say you are, I would advise you to just learn enough to intelligently discuss military matters with you husband and give him a challenge, yet almost always lose. After the very rare victory that you may feel you need to accomplish in order to maintain your own self-esteem, console him in whatever manner that you deem appropriate. 
Also, do you have any like minded girlfriends in the late 30's or early 40's age group? 
I like a handsome man with verve.
