    • To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will.

  • As I've said, we already have so many of those.

    But to be sure, naval battles with cannons and mortars still require quite a few tactics and strategy.
