  1. In my experience you tend to find the AI doing some hysterically stupid things with AT guns- keeping them far back on the map, oftentimes a ways away from the objective and completely unsupported. They leave tanks in the open in sometimes cleared maps right at the objective, and when countered by local superiority either simply reverse or stand and fight, never doing anything so interesting as attacking or hull down-ing..
  2. Yeah, I'm quite prepared to get slammed- I'd just like to get on with the show, is all. A rematch is a necessity. It'd be a privilege to get killed twice so eminently. Will check when I get home from school. Regards.
  3. Intimidating me with your doctor speak. Do your worst, and I shall do my worst also. I will get smacked. But I shall enjoy it, oh, how I shall enjoy it. Enough talk. Let's.. kill human.
  4. I think it's in the same nether regions that Fionn spends, setting up his troops, what's it been, four hours?!
  5. A reasonable man, indeed. Yes, let us dispense with the politics and begin with the asskicking and bubble gum (and I'm all out of bubble gum..)
  6. alright Fionn, glad to have a teacher. I take criticism well, and I'm willing to cut my losses in the ego department to improve. You might want to add to your why Americans are pompous buggers ammunition depot the fact that the French and the German people have lost more civilians combined after September 11th than we ever have in terrorism. Add. of course, the fact that we sponsor and support terrorist groups and tinpot dictatorships all over the unstable regions of this maudlin world (by we I mean US) and then dash in some biting Onion satire and you'll win any debate. Trust me. Addy is eigeasteasai@aol.com
  7. 'Wulf, that was classic, thanks for making a dull Saturday night not so horrific..
  8. Fionn, I'm a terrible CM player. I remember reading somewhere very, very far back that you were offering to play anyone. I'm curious if you would be willing to teach me a few lessons, when it becomes available? I prefer TCP/IP, but I can handle email, too. I won't attempt to flatter, and I realize how off-topic this post is, therefore I'll end now. Regards.
  9. Just my brief two cents. I was listening to a speaker a few months ago who'd spent a lot of time in Iraq with the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), and he told me, upon my asking how the Arab world would react to an American assault on Iraq, was as follows: "A meeting was called up of the Arab League and change, ah, they said they'd treat an attack on Iraq just as they would on themselves." 'Course, this could just be bragging to protect themselves towards Iraqi aggression, but then again, when you view American belligerancy in foreign (especially in Arab) affairs, one cannot help but be a little frightened by the amount of hatred levelled at America presently. An attack on Iraq could be countered by the feared and almost omnipresent (I hasten to add rarely spoken about) 'second terror attack', which has a good deal of Americans quaking in their boots. Rightly so. Add the fact that America still shares a tic when it comes to imperalist wars in foreign countries, due to 'Nam, and you've got one helluva convincing argument NOT to attack Iraq. However, knowing the present administration, I expect war in January, Febuary at the latest. Regards.
  10. I think you guys aren't factoring in the common belief of luck. My great grandfather charged a StuG in the last months of the war and took it out, exposing himself to an enemy platoon's MG and sniper fire. He knocked out the tank and made it back to cover. And he lived till he was 87, I think. It's entirely possible to survive a headlong charge. Just don't do it, because it's entirely propable you won't. Pardon the war story regaling. Just felt it was applicable.
  11. Carl, I'm curious if you'd be open to reading some of my AARs. I actually wrote one a few months ago before I even knew about AARs, however I set it as a German schoolbook telling about the successful invasion of Britain, Sea Lion.. I've been working on a new one, would you like to see it?
  12. What Lawyer and energy76 originally said. I really can only enjoy something when drawing comparisons to my own life.. I can do that with the Allies. Joe Vandeleur's Irish Guards, the thousands of Irishmen who fought in the Allied armies, however, when it comes to Germany, I really can't, nor Russia. Both countries were incredibly destructive forces. I believe Bevin Alexander put it best: "..Americans in general were gleeful that the worlds' two worst dictatorships were tearing at each other's vitals and hoped they would fight to mutual exhaustion." In the end, I'm not having fun playing as killers, and often have trouble defending either position. As the Allies, I could roleplay with ease, but on the German and Soviet angles, I cannot. Measuring the greater evil doesn't make for a good game. HOWEVER, the game itself, and it's just that, a game, not an ethical or historical analysis of past empires' actions, is brilliant, and I enjoy it with a fervor.
  13. Yeah, a holding slot as well here for some Tito pictures.. I'll have them up before noon, Saturday. Thanks, John. What part of Jersey do you hail from? (answer in a PM.. I'm in Cherry Hill)
  14. On a cold spring morning, late in March, an automobile arrived in the city of Vienna. The prime minister and foreign minister of Yugoslavia signed the Tripartite Pact, at once committing one of the greatest acts of betrayal in the country’s arduous history and, unintentionally, sparking off an intense underground movement dead set on destroying Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich’s control on Belgrade. Immediately, the armed forces of Yugoslavia, determined to not allow Yugoslavia to become another semi country, like Vichy France, and in a fanatic state of mind, resisted the signing of the Tripartite Pact by Dragisa Cvetkovic and Cincar-Markovic, the prime and foreign ministers, respectively. The resistance was organized under one Dusan Simovic, who was on good terms with many high ranking Nazi officials (namely Reichmarshall Goering). Dusan was an unrepentant Serb, which led to some distrust in the inner ranks, but overall held good control over the resistance. He led a coup, and the Prince Paul of Yugoslavia was replaced by the Prince Peter, who escaped daringly down a drainpipe and into freedom and onto the throne. This, however, would hardly last. Hitler was furious. The hammer fell quickly. As German troops poured into the country, Simovic fled under British protection, and the resistance was leaderless. Until a flamboyant, fiery eyed Communist named Josip Tito stood up in resistance, contrary to Stalin’s orders and to common sense. Thus began the struggle for freedom. And the search for a decent pair of loafers.
