...served with the British during the Afghan War.
And I have a wargame, "First Afghan War", that simulates the first British/Afghan war.

I just thought that was interesting.

Oh well...

I've not ran across Watson's gambling problem in my Holmes book yet...

The wargame actually has 2 scenarios, the initial British invasion and conquest, and then the defeat and retreat of the British.
Some cool political options are also included... no 2 games are alike.

*shrug*
I likes me some wargames!

Actually Sherlock has a brother named Mycroft. Holmes is the family name they both share.

I tried Dr Watson

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. Type drwtsn32, and then click OK.


but it was not fun. I prefer the minesweeper game.

     Yeah, I'm pretty sure the usage you're correcting is standard.  Like a news article about Lou Ferrigno would say 'Ferrigno, pictured here with his wife Claire, managed to ingest seven babies before being escorted from the maternity ward.'1

     In Lou Ferrigno, no one can hear you scream.
