**DanQ** · November 10, 2010, 23:26

Something might have been missed. The one-hundred-and-fourth episode of PolyCast, "Go Through and Check", features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick and "Makahlua" with returning guest co-hosts Alexander "Alexander" Strub, Annalee "Cartimandua" Barney, Kelly "KMadCandy" and Stewart "MMC" Rice.

PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy; sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding and RevCast focuses on Civilization: Revolution.

The next episode of PolyCast will be CivV-focused. This episode is a blend of both CivIV and CivV coverage with mostly general considerations for the series, though arguably more IV-centric than V. (It was recorded prior to CivV's release.)

It is true that "General Infantry" is not a term that the U.S. government has ever used to describe their soldiers, but it has become a common reference in popular culture. (If we go back far enough, "G.I." originally referred to "galvanized iron" within the U.S. armed forces.)
