The amazing Hangzhou Bay Bridge
One of the masterpieces of modern architecture, the fantastic Hangzhou Bay Bridge has been opened to the public since May 2008.
The Bridge is an S-shaped stayed-cable bridge with six lanes in both directions and is linking Ningbo's Cixi county in the south to Jiaxing in the north.

was on the oresund bridge last year and it's class, especially going from sweden to denmark where it turns into a tunnel near the end as you can see in the second pica oresund.jpg

The Oresund is pretty impressive alright, went over it a couple of years ago.



Spare a thought for the humble viaduct, it's like a bridge, but for water.

Prove yourself as the best tactician and outsmart your opponent in this mind-challenging and fun to play game! We know you just will not be able to quit playing this game!

1. Each player chooses color of sticks

2. The players draw a lot to determine who will start first

3. The game may start at any position of the playfield

4. The players in turns connect pairs of adjacent diamonds with their sticks vertically and horizontally: the first player connects the red diamonds with red sticks and the second player uses the blue sticks to connect the blue diamonds (see the picture)

5. The objective of each player is to connect any of the diamonds of his color on one side with any of the diamonds on the opposite side of the playfield with a continuous, randomly curved line. One player connects the left with the right side of the playfield, while the other player connects the top with the bottom side.

6. The paths of the players may not intersect and sticks cannot be laid on top of one another

7. The first player to make a bridge between the two sides of his/her playfield wins the game.

The first way was attacking the resources themselves.
When they conquered territory, they took as much as they could.
This not only gave them more food, it prevented it from falling into their opponent's hands.

This strategy backfired in Gaul, where Vercingetorix employed a scorched earth tactic,
whereby burning crops and taking livestock when he retreated, he left the Romans nothing to take.

He was eventually foiled when Caesar ordered his troops to cross the Liore river.
Vercingetorix had thought the river impassable, and had not bothered to destroy any of the crops on the other side,
so the Romans were able to re-supply and continue their campaign.

snyper needs a very robust sewerage system to get rid of all the sh1te that comes out of him so has just placed a 'serious' offer on this:

CEASER'S TROOPS TAKE GAUL

Wield, right, cohorts flank
reserves move up, fill the ranks
Hold center, as shields clank
shore the left with river banks

Walk, attack in formation
feeding off the conquered nations
Vercingetorix wrought starvation
Cross Liore, refresh the Legion

That took Gaul! baby
