    Bah!

    I can't get above the rank of Private in the Armchair General game... I always considered myself fairly knowledgeable about history but they really throw some curveballs.

    Anyone else do better?

    Just got to the rank of Colonel with a score of 1811... it appears that the ranks jump from Sergeant to Colonel.

    They've got some real obscure military questions in there.

    Just got 2623, General rating!

    Matt O that has all the high scores must be a robot. Either that or he's answered all of them and knows them... you get higher scores for faster answers.

    Congrats NT!!! Are you a one star now? And that Matt character, probably designed the game and chose all the questions!


    All those acronyms kill me!!!

    If they ask me what this is, I can answer it.

    ROFLMBO!!!

    I got the answers about George Washington right!!! But, alas, I'm still a private.

    Sorry for derailing your thread, Mr. P. Just realized that.

    i got 2956, couldn't beat the high score although i answered all the question correctly, not even a single wrong answer





    PS: i forgot to mention that i cheated, i stopped the timer completely till i searched for each answer, some question were easy to search and others were very hard.

    People show you and tell you who they are and you need to be listening and watching, not deciding that you know better.
