	Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Fiery leader with a fanatical hatred of US
		He reportedly said Mr Ba'aysir was a key figure in his aborted plot to attack American embassies across south-east Asia last month.
		In contrast, Mr Ba'aysir said, his school, the al-Mukmin koranic boarding school at Ngruki near the town of Solo on Java, and parallel organisation, the Indonesian mojahedin council, are committed to peaceful methods to achieve his goal, namely turning Indonesia and then the rest of the region into Islamic states.

	Broadsides and Boarding Parties :: Preview
		As the name implies there are two divisions to the game, first players engage each other with cannon, attempting to angle themselves for a powerful broadside attack, and then when the ships get close enough then the boarding parties join in and it becomes a big brawl of seamen to see who wins the day.
		Broadsides and Boarding Parties details a confrontation between two ships, one an English naval ship defending the seas from villainy, and the other a pirate ship out to prey upon its hunter.
		Now long out of print, Broadsides and Boarding Parties was able to launch a rich entry level line of wargames for the general public.

	Singapore sees Islamist plot / Officials say militant forged five-nation alliance
		Among the projects contemplated by the groups, officials said, were attacks on pipelines in Singapore that transport water from the island's northern neighbor, Malaysia.
		Intelligence officials say Jemaah Islamiah is a militant network operating primarily in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, headed by radical Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, who runs a Muslim boarding school in central Java.
		For this particular plot, Isamuddin drew upon members of the Jemaah Islamiah organization in Singapore and Malaysia, which he headed and had steered increasingly toward armed activities and away from traditional Islamic proselytizing, officials said.

	7th Sea Collectible Card Game
		One thing I haven't mentioned about the cards in 7th Sea is that they all have "Boarding Boxes" on the left side of their text area: one "Boarding Attack" and two "Boarding Defense" boxes.
		Both players draw three cards after each of the "defender's" turns--if both players just passed, the boarding is ended.
		If you are already familiar with the game itself, you might wish to skip ahead to the card analysis, where I shift focus from game mechanics to what possibilities Alderac chose to include with the original set.

		Due to their immense size, starbases can carry tremendous amounts of armament and are very difficult to successfully attack and destroy.
		Fifty Marine boarding parties are stationed in a starbase, and the energy available to reinforce the six 60 unit shields is enormous.
		Since the outpost is limited to a maximum rotation speed of 64 degree/turn, it is apparent that an intelligent enemy can maneuver to minimize his exposure to the outpost's phasers while attacking.

		In Example 1, the battleship is able to fire its special one shot support attack; in Example 2, the battleship cannot exercise this special attack because it was involved in a naval battle before the land assault took place.
		When being transported by sea, the boarding and landing of an AA gun is all part of the legal move.
		Results Of Both Land And Naval Combat In land combat (battles on land territories or island territories), such territories are either held by the defender or captured by the attacker.

	U-505 Sinking
		The USS Pillsbury, badly damaged in a series of attempts to go alongside the erratically maneuvering submarine in order to transfer a mass boarding and repair party, was forced to withdraw and to transfer necessary personnel by small boat.
		An extremely accurate initial depth charge attack by the USS Chatelain forced the U-boat to surface where it was subjected to the combined automatic weapons fire of three destroyer escorts and two aircraft.
		Undeterred by the apparent sinking condition of the U-boat, the danger of explosions of demolition and scuttling charges, and the probability of enemy gunfire, the small boarding party plunged through the conning tower hatch, did everything in its power to keep the submarine afloat and removed valuable papers and documents.

		Taking a vigorous part in the skillfully coordinated attack on the German U-505 which climaxed a prolonged search by the Task Group, Lt. (then Lt. j.g.) David boldly led a party from the Pillsbury in boarding the hostile submarine as it circled erratically at 5 or 6 knots on the surface.

	USS Gaudalcanal Story
		In the meantime, the Guadalcanal's boarding party completed temporary salvage measures and decided that to keep the 505 afloat they would have to tow it.
		While denying the danger of booby traps and racing against time, the boarding party, reinforced by a larger crew from the Guadalcanal, proceeded to plug all leaks found.
		Chatelain also fired a torpedo in an attempt to wart off a possible attack from the submarine, but it also missed.

		Adventures must be played in a different Sea than the one presently occupied, moved to, and then actually "completed" before being placed on one of your Crew.

	7th Sea: Crew
		The Sea Dogs' Crew are filled with guys whose cannon attacks are enhanced if they've made a boarding this turn, and whose boarding attacks are enhanced if they've made a cannon attack this turn.
		Porté is one of the three forms of magic introduced in No Quarter: there are the two Crew able to use it, a card for defense during boardings, a card to tack someone, and another card that just increases Porté ability.
		Therefore, their knack for artifact acquisition becomes more a means of survival: they need to get all the toys they can to keep them alive, since eventually every game is going to come down to cannon or boarding.

		Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Meredith engaged in escort and antisubmarine patrol between Iceland and the Denmark Straits, until she departed Halfjordur late in January escorting a convoy to Boston.
		Four days later Meredith was killed in the explosion of Gunboat No. 3 during a similar attack against the Tripolitans.

		Vancouver's boarding party took control of the ship while the ship's CH-124 Sea King helicopter and the frigate kept guard.
		The ship was dead in the water during the initial boarding, and, while Vancouver's engineering department was able to correct the ship's list to one degree, they were not able to restart the ship's engines that were possibly sabotaged.
		The Zakat's crew did not resist the initial boarding party and there were no incidents when the Vancouver team mustered the 16-member crew and took control of the bridge, and engine room.

	The Cambodia Daily WEEKEND
		The main CFF agent in Cambodia was arrested in Siem Reap as he was boarding a plane bound for Thailand a day after the attack.The raid may have failed, but over the past year the story of the CFF has evolved into something larger than even Chhun Yasith could have predicted.
		But the US official was careful not to entirely write off the CFF, saying that shortly after the attack he was in the office of the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Rural Development and saw a bullet hole in the window, making the attack a little more real in his mind.
		The CFF was founded on Oct 21, 1998, at the Cambodian-Thai border near Poipet, wrote Chhun Yasith in an e-mail from his accounting office in Long Beach, in the US state of California.

		"I suspect that the bombing was engineered by the United States and its allies to justify allegations that Indonesia is a base for terrorists," Bashir told the Associated Press in telephone interview from Solo, a city in central Java, where he runs an Islamic boarding school.
		The attack comes after several smaller incidents and warnings from the U.S. State Department.

		The last Bay Area shark attack occurred in August 1998, when Jonathan Kathrein of Lucas Valley, on the north edge of San Rafael, was bitten while boogie-boarding at the southern end of Stinson Beach.
		The zone has the highest concentration of shark attacks in the world, McCosker said, because of its large seal and sea lion populations and the large number of beachgoers, boaters and anglers.
		McCosker said that the attack sounded like the work of a great white shark but that he would have to talk to witnesses and doctors before he could make that determination.

		Forrestal is a bit contemptuous of the Fleshies, whom he considers too soft--too weak and easily killed--and thus less willing to take risks.

		The Turks were not lacking in courage, however, and they pressed on in the face of intense fire from the galleasses, the galleys' guns and arquebus and crossbowmen on the Christian decks.
		The sides and the stern of the galleass were also heavily armed and a wooden deck protected the rowers.

	Battle of Lowestoft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the Dutch had again the weather gauge in relation to the British rear, some of their ships wore to the east to attack it.
		The British main force to the west of them would have had the weather gage precluding boarding as a viable tactic.
		The leading Dutch politician, Johan de Witt, ordered Van Wassenaer to attack the English aggressively during a period of stable eastern winds which would have given the Dutch the weather gage.
