That was the specific plan of the Japanese when they attacked Pearl Harbour. Cripple the US fleet then seize and hold enough area to be a buffer so they couldn't be directly attacked.

You aren't fooling us! This is a deliberate attempt to introduce (more) Chaos into our lives to distract us from your plans to take over the world.

I've found that sometimes it does not turn up results that are recent. It should be just as good, but sometimes I feel the necessity to turn back to Google.

Sisu is good fun, if exceptionally violent. Ministry annoyed me no end. The historical event was good enough for a movie on its own, but the writers decided to bin half the real history for their own fantasy history. Plus for all the action credentials of the cast, the action wasn't that good.

Happy Birthday! I've just started reading The Devils - in ebook since I couldn't wait for the mass-market paperback. After many years purely buying ebooks for fiction I'm finding that paperback is actually a more pleasant experience.

All games should have a quicksave function that should save to a number of slots defined by the player beforehand. Likewise the autosaves should have a number of slots defined by the player. And all saves, quick, auto or manual should be allowable at any point, during action, cutscenes, whatever.

That doesn't bode well. Hasbro suits instead of ex-Bioware creatives.

Jason Scheier gets all the good scoops. I'm happy it's confirmed as turn-based, although it's what I expected.
