The rules are the game, without them you're just playing cowboys and indians with a side of craps. Image

I am consistently stunned by how many stories like this there are in WWII. It makes me suspect that "real life" is, in fact, a giant shared-world media event of some kind, and that WWII was scripted to be an amazing crossover event. The masterstroke was a big finish that was simultaneously an incredibly spectacular superweapon and an insurmountable obstacle to anyone trying to shoehorn in a sequel. Despite the perpetual buzz about "WWIII," the producers know that it'd literally incinerate the setting, so they never green-lit it. Although there were delicious teases like the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I've known of this wiki for about as a long as Dick Clark looked young (I mean, what respecting Transfan wouldn't). So you don't have to think that your to blame for this.

Besides, I already posted a tfwiki page in this thread before you did.
