And the cards are critical. You're best to build up for as long as you (optimally until you have a forced turn in) and let the suckers turn in the cards for the smaller amounts of troops. Also, the card system gives you the chance to be a dick and kinda snipe at places with a good reason to do so.

Sorry bro, I just needed a card.

Muammar Gadaffi uses a staff of hot female bodyguards called the 'Amazonian Guard' for protection. Gadaffi is basically a real-life James Bond villain.

Later they interviewed her, she was egyptian and was talking in english.
She said thugs first thought that she was a foreign reporter so they attacked her, then saw she's egyptian... and slapped her around a lil bit anyway.

Libya's War of the Colonels: Col. Gaddafi Meet Col. Hussein

Quote:

For Colonel Hussein, who sits in a stark office within a darkened base equipped with anti-aircraft guns, Libya's revolution is still very much a people's revolution. But the military that has defected to the opposition — more than 10,000 troops from Benghazi to the Egyptian border, he says — now have an important task at hand. "We are trying to collect as many as we can from Benghazi and other towns in order to prepare a force to march on Tripoli," he says.

Hussein is coordinating with other military officers, tribal sheikhs, and volunteers across the region, he says, to launch the final battle that many believe may be necessary to topple the 41-year-old dictatorship. Already, Hussein says 2,000 armed volunteers, soldiers and reservists have reached the capital in small groups, the last group arriving on Friday night. Soon, he says, there will be more.

But it's not a military coup, he cautions. "It's a youth uprising," he insists. "The fight is between the young people and the regime." It wasn't until Gaddafi met their peaceful demonstrations with violent force "killing them in cold blood," that it was time to intervene, he says. "They are the ones who started the revolution and we are completing it."

Lawrence of Arabia was a fantastic movie.

[Arabs are looting a train after blowing it up]
Sherif Ali: It is their payment, Colonel.
Colonel Brighton: Payment?
Sherif Ali: Truly, are not British soldiers paid?
Colonel Brighton: They don't go home when they've been paid!
Sherif Ali: They are not free to!

Do the Saudis shake down local businesses and repress random people like those others do? Serious question just trying to ascertain if they have anything like the level of unrest of those other countries.

Saleh to declar "unity government" in the next 24 hrs. No body really knows what this means, if it'll be material change or a feeble attempt to placate protesters while trying to maintain power.

Correct, Kuwait was affected too but the most interesting thing is SA facebook youth planning a protest, a 'day of anger' for 11th of March.
Was this mentioned in the USA or?

I hadn't heard about this, and I'm pretty confident that I'm following these events much more closely than the average American, although I'm not watching the MSM evening news much.
