John Kettler Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 In my fight against SpanishBombs, the first movie for "St. Mere Eglise" made fine viewing, what with all the lead flying in multiple directions, foes popping up and being taken under fire, heavy direct fires smashing into buildings, and my assault formations shaking themselves out and surging forward. "Fire on the Mountain" against Michael Dorosh was just that, with the top of one key elevation disappearing for a time in a shroud of HE bursts, believed to be mortar fire. I returned the favor by removing a small portion of an eminence across the valley with direct and indirect fires, to the profound detriment of the position and its occupants. Multiple infantry engagements broke out, with severe lumps being dished out to some units hitting my extreme left rear flank. At least one such unit was rendered extinct. For the record, my computer, other than being worked very hard by "Fire on the Mountain," runs fine. The problems I've reported have to do with things like being sent the wrong file, receiving a corrupt file, zipped files I sent out somehow becoming .cmc files, and so forth.

Michael Dorosh Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 tut tut, John, Mikey Treeburst has dictated no hints as to order of battle until after the tourney is over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 This is a good point Mike. John, for those who are playing the scens in question, its fairly easy to figure out what you are talking about, including which side you are on and the specific features and positions you refer to. Certainly I avidly read your posts to gain information about the 'other side', and cringe whenever you give away anything about what I have. If I'm doing it, I have to assume that everyone else is too. Please, I know its hard, but do try to maintain FOW. Please? Thanks JonS Thanks [ June 12, 2002, 12:08 AM: Message edited by: JonS ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 That's right, John. This is one of those hush-hush tourneys like RoW I. We won't be able to enjoy your colorful DARs because you can't say ANYTHING. Unfortunately, this is the price of our high degree of FOW. Mum's the word. Treeburst155 out.

Ligur Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Calling Jim L. (ok I know he spends a LOT of time with setups), U8led and Gunnersman... Been in touch with all so I know they aren't 1) Dead 2) Haven't bailed out. Maybe a vacation? Just busy? Me and Kunstler are ripping serious **** up in FOM. Woota! That map provides super premises for an interesting little war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabpub Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 To my esteemed Section opponents: I have been spending the last week putting out fires on the home front. Heavy bombing from the female half has leveled some of my time, cuz the comp got threatened with extiction, so I had to go to the "pay more attention to me" mode. I will have the situation under control by the weekend and promise to have my responsibilities taken care of toward you honored opponents. Cheers.

Sir Uber General Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Gamey woman! The rarity rules are a bit screwy in CMBO which makes them more expensive than they really should be. I'm gonna petition BTS to reduce the cost of women in CMBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Ugbash, SpanishBombs and Michael Dorosh have all been sent new turns. I fail to see how I've breached fog of war, since I've said no more than I did in RoW I. I haven't identified a single unit, given a location name, or identified even a starting position. I have zero idea what deployment constraints were imposed on my foe either. For the record, I'm having a terrible time even figuring out what's going on, given the huge map with all it bears, and I'm fighting the battle! The only reason I listed the scenario names is that other people repeatedly did it first. You may recall that I asked. That said, I was never here, wherever here is!

Treeburst155 Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 John, No big deal here. It's just that you were on the edge, and players were getting worried. It's best to be completely safe. Put it in those excellent AARs of yours and get the extra points. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I shipped all my turns out again last night, you harlots better send me replies or I'll break Fog of War by telling everyone you wear your mum's undies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Morning chaps, JK I see you are close to the edge, but not over it. I can understand people getting nervous but you have not given anything away. Fire on the Mountain has my full attention and I have sent my turn back to W4. It has me on the edge of my seat and since losing the Maus I am not sure what the outcome will be. Jazza has the next turn of Another Day. I presume someone who designed that game has a dry sense of humour. As for the others nothing oseen of them except that I really do have to stop dithering on what to do with my approach with the wolf. He is a cunning cunning person and I need to have a cunning plan which Baldrick would be proud of. Perhaps some turnip soup is in order. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeb Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Silvio, While appreciative of your efforts in planning your moves for Head To The Hills, there's really nothing much to worry about. My troops are all from a "Stomach and ear" battalion, and are currently engaged in gumming turnip soup and hoping the Americans arrive with some better rations soon. With that in mind, your best bet is to simply run all your units deep into my side of the map. After all, the war is almost over, and my boys are ready to welcome you tourists with open arms. Just look for large groups of old men in leiderhosen, we'll be ready to surrender en masse if your boys have any rations or cigarettes. Yours in surrender, Corporal Jeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanish Bombs Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Phew, 5 turns/setups/moves off today to 5 different opponents. This tourney is keeping me on my toes, I only hope to use sensitivity/understanding/flowers, etc. to avoid having Mrs. SpanishBombs reaching the Mrs. Tabpub level. These games run the course from sprawling to byte levels, and all promise to be enthralling. A note to my opponents: I'll be attending the Jeff Tweedy concert tonight which means 1)I won't be getting any turns out this PM, and 2)when I return home, I just might be a little drunk, so feel free to take advantage of me by sending me the next turn.
