It was apparently not merely enough for Thunder (ex-Age fan community webmaster, now part of our Live team) to crush me in a game of Halo Wars recently, he had to post about it officially for all to see!  All things considered I'm actually pretty happy that I even was able to go 1-1 with him ... despite many years of working on RTSes I'm still rather mediocre at best at actually playing them.  It certainly was a fun game, and maybe I'll get my revenge on him next time...
