Furthermore, I currently don't like the sound of Wazbaba somehow - call it a quirk of mine.
That's probably the most compelling reason of all to not use that name. (And remember, I happen to like the name quite a bit.)
My idea: because you call FA the Modern Elephant, I call WD the Modern Dabbaba, or better Modern War Machine.
I'm very tempted to call it a Washer/Dryer.
Concerning WD I call it War Machine, or simply Machine. Several decades ago (I'm a veteran), I was calling it War Machine as it is to the Dabbaba the same thing that (my) Elephant is to the Alfil (the translation vs the old Arabic word). Some are saying "Modern Elephant" to be explicit, so I would agree with Lev to say "Modern War Machine" or simply Modern Machine.
I think most of us can agree in principle that Modern War Machine can be conisdered the "conventional" name for the piece, even if other names are used to fit various themes and tastes. Even so, for this game, as much as I'd prefer to see it be the Wazbaba or MWM, I think Kevin's justified in leaving it as it is if he really, really wants to.
