There's no need to re-roll each round in this instance.If you would prefer to post in initiative order, that's fine with me - I didn't want to force you to wait around for me or another player if you know your character's action. Either way is fine with me!It's definitely not as action-packed as Lost Command - instead it gives a picture of life in Algiers, and a somewhat balanced view of both sides of the conflict (though I think some reviewers of the movie over-emphasize this - IMHO the French army and especially the colons are clearly the "bad guys"). Most of all it captures a lot of the period detail that I'm drawing from for the game-environment.Gen. Paul Aussaresses' book The Battle of the Casbah is inspiring more of your future encounters during the Battle of Algiers than the movie does, but when it comes to describing clothing, the look of the Casbah's streets and alleys, sounds, and so on, The Battle of Algiers is invaluable to me.</blockquote>
