I just read the Article/Editorial "Luck or Foresight" in http://bg.battletech...ing_Preview.pdf and the author asks the question at the end- given all Sun Tzu's series of good calls at critical moments, is it really just Luck or is it Celestial Wisdom?

BTW those who vote no are encouraged to give their names and addresses for a special state sponsored lottery which they will be rewarded with for being part of a special survey.

Spectacular. So far we got 6 yes, and 9 double-yes and 0 no votes (that last was corrected after a meeting and seems to be due to a simple mistake on the part of the voter who was quite embarrassed over the misunderstanding. )

sun-tzu liao was arguably the greatest leader in the inner sphere for the 31st century, he really does outstrip hanse and especially victor.

Quineg. I merely don`t think any Freebirth is capable of posessing divine powers or celestial wisdom, except maybe Aleksandr Kerensky. It`s that simple.
