Fantasy

I'm learning the new version of Fantasy--Warhammer Fantasy.  Switching from 40k, I'm making rookie mistakes logjamming my blocks of rank and file soldiers.

However, I get the feeling some people are living in a Fantasy.  One analysis of U.S. special-ops in Afghanistan actually uses the phrase "1,066 rank-and-file insurgents killed."  I realize what the phrase "rank and file" has come to mean, but also knowing what it has mean makes this a funny phrase, given that rebels are usually so grossly outnumbered that they cannot afford to line up to be killed like most rank and filers.

Another interesting tidbit that can be inferred from this article: the Afghans think we're cowards for making raids at night.  So no more Nightfight scenarios!  I never liked them anyway...
