Meeks, do you roll your own? They say it's always good to keep it in the family! Mace

(Yes, I just used whom, and properly, I might add) By me, and maybe by Meeks. He said something like that above, but I don't care enough to go back and read it. The mere fact that I said it should be enough for you. And Mace...go easy on Esther tonight...she's to be shorn tomorrow. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Silly, silly Croda! What I wrote is if you can great someone, so can I. Please learn to read properly. Also can you explain something for me, exactly what is a sould? Is it something to be wary of? Should I be afraid? As for Esther? No, dont recall that name. But I must admit, I do love them shaved! Now I must demand satisfaction, do you have a sheep handy? Mace PS Mensch, can we sit down one day and review your knowledge of exactly what a rhyme is? I don't want you to go through life with this disadvantage!

You how ever must not either since you smell like that every day. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Now hang on a minute, Mensch!!! I actually shower and shave everyday, mainly because I have the community of Victoria to serve (and to get rid of that sheep smell), so I have to be presentable. The only exception is Saturday, when I don't shower and don't shave at all, just so I can impress everyone with my rugged, unshaven and unkempt Aussie good looks! And I would also like to add, my nickname doesn't rhyme with Stench, now does it! Mace

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Forever Babra: For 1:35 offerings I'm generally a big fan of Dragon/DML and Academy. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> DOH!!! Yeh, I forgot Academy and AFV Club. In both cases the more recent releases from both these companies have been very good Mace PS Hi KwazyDog, Babs!

Model kit manufacturers that produce good quality WW2 Military kits include Tamiya, Dragon, and Italeri (don't have the URL for that one), perhaps in that order as quality is concerned. There are also a few Eastern European manufacturers out there, with ICM and perhaps Eastern Express producing the better quality kits from this region. I personally tend to stick to 1/35 scale for the AFVs, and 1/16 scale for figures As far as shops go, I can't comment because I do all my model shopping in Australia. If you need any further advice or help, feel free to drop me a line. Mace

Given the score, I just wonder what posessed me to volunteer to play this most evil of Rune's scenarios in the first place. Oh yeh, that's right! STUPIDITY! Joe Moore Joe has suddenly decided to withdraw most of his forces from one of VL, and try an all out outflanking manuever on the other VL. Given the (lack of) quality of a bazooka team that tried to take out one of my mobile flak laddies and failed dismally even after several attempts...I'm not worried at all. Meanwhile, I'll just help myself to the other VL, will I? SirABCD Geez, get a new nick will ya? I find yours hard to remember mainly because I never got past the letter "E" at primary school. Anyhow, 4 of my recon jeeps are now reduced to 1. One jeep played hide and go seek with a Hetzer (and lost) but the crew died heroically by trying to gum up the Hetzer's tracks by throwing themselves under the AFV. Fortunately, the jeeps have helped me fix some of his forces, and I have now cheerfully lobbed some HE his way to show him I care! Seanachai Keeps mentioning works of classic Australian writers when he forwards me the turns. Sheesh, as if I care! I prefer to restrict my reading to the fine articles in Penthouse or Playboy. As to the game, another one almost complete. Savage early game combat has meant we are a both nearly out of ammo and resources, with both of us controlling one VL each. Our time is now spent glaring at one another and name calling. And trying to get the odd kill to drive that percentage up just a little higher. Speedy The combat is not what I would call fierce. I'm trying to recon by force to fix his forces. Meanwhile, he continues to swill beer down at the pub. One bonus was the destruction of a piat team of his that was sneeking up via reverse slope to workover some of my AFVs. Didn't expect that 251 did ya! Well I'm spent! Was it as good for you as it was for me? Mace

Whoa! Seems to be a bit of tidal activity in the pool lately. Oh well, this certainly looks like the ideal spot to discard my old signature (which was stating the bleeding obvious), and introduce the next one.

Yeh, you obviously know a lot about those sort of things, Stuke, as your experience shows. Comes from a lot use, huh? Mace

If anyone played the board game ASL (Advanced Spook Leader), you probably know that you could have your scary psychopath partialy disassemble the knife and increase their allocated movement points to run. The knife could then still be brandished as a bread knife. Is this misrepresenting the scary pyschopath? Or should this be something to consider incorporating into CM? Mace

I also find placing the new "charity collector" unit near the door of the house works wonders as well. Everyone avoids a charity collector when they see them rattling their little collection cans! Mace

I do believe Patton was quite adamant that AFVs under his command would not make use of sandbags. The reason for this was that the extra weight was adding stress to the suspension and the drive, resulting in more frequent maintenance being required. Mace

While checking out the model (the static, plastic types, guys) sites, I found something that I thought may inspire KwazyDog to greater artistic heights. Tiger 1E Check it out. Mace

Great stuff. Tamiya also had a 1/16 scale King Tiger available recently, but without the sort of functionality now available with this. However, Something like this would cost $500 Australian and thus I cant afford it, so if you guys could do a whip around and collect some money for the "Buy Macey a 1/16 Tiger 1E (no make that two, I know someone else who'd like one)" charity, I'd be much appreciated.
