Blah, blah, blah.  Even *I'm* getting sick of hearing about how bad
the AOO is.

This posting gives a one-side view of the situation.  Walter (who was
a past member of the IN) moved into a battle zone and moved about
Tollus with a large force and obvious knowledge of the terrain.  He
was moving towards a possible rendezvous with Oleg's troops and was in
a position to threaten one of my units.  Further, he made no attempt
to contact me, nor did he respond to mail from an unallied player who
also happens to be on Tollus.  Aware of all these things, I had no
choice but to assume that he was in league with Oleg and intended to
ambush me.  So I made a preemptive strike against him.

Even after the turn Walter made no attempt to contact me, but I was
forwarded a copy of his complaint from Compuserve.  I have no desire
to force Walter out of the game nor involve him in Oleg's jihad.  So I
sent Walter an apology for my attack that explained the circumstance,
and I've offered to redress the situation.
