  1. "Hey, let's fill her up" "No way, it's B.P. I ain't having any of that Limey Gas in my tank"
  2. @Erwin Whilst my alta ego being an Anglian might know what you are on about. I live in the ancient Kingdom of Kent, where the Jutes live in perfect harmony with the Celts, and I can't understand a word that you are saying.
  3. Still call them "daughters of Satan" in my household. Ducks as Elizabeth hurls an empty quart pot at my noddle.
  4. Their best title as far as I concerned. As opposed to the farcical "Empire", where Willem van Oranje and Gay King Billy die at different times despite being one and the same person.
  5. The armour arc is clearly seen in the video at the end of the turn. It is strange that they could get so close. But, whatever is blocking their view is also blocking the view of the tank's bow mg.
  6. To buy or not to buy? I seem to remember a certain playwright used to say that every time is was his turn to get the beers in. Given the nature of your questions, can I ask how you found your way to this forum in the first place? I'd found out the basics before I even knew that there was a forum. In the meantime I'd echo the above advice. Find the theatre, or front, that most interests you, then give the demos a whirl.
  7. Personally I think that this just proves that the Sikhs were hard as nails, Why waste a perfectly good PIAT round when we can sneak up until we are within kirpan range.
  8. That is true. There are some interesting one off battles for both Arnhem city centre, and the surrounding area, but a campaign would have been nice to have. We have to bear in mind that CMx2 is far more complex than the original game so campaign design itself takes a lot more work. Also, the more work done on modern warfare titles, means less work done on WW2, and BFC being such a small company can't please us all. Also, players themselves enjoy designing campaigns away from WW2, even if it might not be my own cup of char. In fact, I do think it was Dartford Mick and the Tax Dodgers who once said, "I met her today on the Utrechtseweg, with a map of Saigon in her hand. And I said, "Why are you carrying that?" She looked at me, as if I was a twat. And then she said, "Make your f*%king mind up, you Limey pratt. You either want Arnhem or you want Heaven and Earth, you either want Arnhem or you want Heaven and Earth. Ooh baby baby, just make yer f&^king mind up... repeat to fade.
  9. I think the "What the Pitta" chain of eateries should have you picture in their windows.
  10. There were far more than a "handful" of scenarios that came with CMBN-MG, although I suppose it depends on how many fingers you have. And there were two campaigns.
  11. I think we better stop here, before Ithikial gives us both a clip 'round the lug'oles.
  12. Some people can wait without being a pain up the back passage.
  13. Oh dear. Despite Steve and Elvis being polite and helpful. a certain someone still spits his dummy out.
  14. It sounds more like Dutch English to me but harsher. Back in the late 70's I knew a white guy who'd been in the slammer with Nelson and the other boys in the band, I seem to remember his voice as quite nasal. In the meantime happy voice mod making.
  15. Ah, I remember the start of the new financial year. Where I worked the computers would be down all day.
  16. The Australians take the mickey out of how the NZers talk, and they're a hell of a lot closer than the South Africans.
  17. Thanks for sharing this great series of pictures.
  18. From my own readings the 17pdr was superior to the 76mm as far as the Germans were concerned. And who am I to argue?
  19. As far as I know the Bullingdon Bull****ter purchases his BJs from someone other than Lizzie Saxe-Coburg und Gotha. Of course, I could be wrong. In the meantime any updates on the new RT module are welcome.
  20. @DougPhresh That's fair enough. As my old dad used to say, "If you don't ask, you don't find out".
  21. In the meantime we should thank John the Kay for his interesting video.
  22. I think we have two pubs in town where it is still under 3 quid.
  23. Yes, I suddenly came over all nostalgic for the early '80s.
