If that exhibitionist Stuka runs through here naked, I'm going to be violently ill! Mace

Stuka wouldn't understand what a "gimp" is (I didn't, I had to ask kitty)! Tell him he's a nong instead! Mace

Mensch, That's no way to talk to a lady (especially this one, she's got very sharp claws....ouch)! Mace

In the shop for an overhaul?

Shouldn't that be lawyer a mano? Now get back to work, go file a litigation or whatever! Mace [This message has been edited by Mace (edited 11-13-2000).]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by jshandorf: Perhaps you are to naive and you forget, Mace, that the average line backer in American football weighs in 230-260 pounds and you defensive linemen weigh in close to 280-300 pounds. The guys that play that wussy sport called rugby wouldn't last 5 minutes in the NFL. Your femme rugby lads would look awful funny stumbling off the field with a set of cleat tracks up and down their ass, trying in vain to pick up their teeth with broken fingers. Jeff<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeh I grant you that, but you got to catch them first (sort of like large lumbering armoured sloths trying to chase down nimble ferrets) And as for ball handling skills, what the typical NFL player thinks it is is incorrect. It does not involve sticking one's hand down one's pants for a bit of a play! Mace

A few of us CMers do get together for a co-op multiplay session every now and then, and the general view is that Steel Beasts is very good, especially with attention to detail and game play. If you're interested, drop in for a chat at Madmatt's CMHQ one evening (especially on the weekend, you may find we have a session planned)! Lookout out for Madmatt though, he hogs the glory and gets most of the kills! Masce

Whoops, sorry Wittman. However, I have found the official URL for this product which is: http://www.dmps.co.uk/absolute/ Mace

Why can't you guys play real a decent sports game like Rugby or Aussie Rules, where the prime goal is to beat your opponent into the ground, and cause at least one limb breakage or fractured skull during a session? Mace

Yes, it's nice, but...... When do we see the mod for the Bob Semples? Mace

Hmmm, I wonder why no Kiwis have rushed in to defend this masterpiece? Mace

As far as AFVs are concerned, the Sherman and the Valentine come to mind, and were provided to the Soviets via lend-lease! Mace [This message has been edited by Mace (edited 11-13-2000).]

As a military modeller, I was amazed to see the following release listed (one for all you Tiger lovers): TAMIYA AND CASSELL & CO Pz.Kpfw VI Tiger Tank. Interactive CD-ROM featuring archive and contemporary film footage. 360º panoramas of interiors and exteriors. Scale plans. Camouflage and marking guides. Technical data files. Development and service histories. Everything but the smell. A superb quality product for the 21st century. Wow! I am really looking forward to this and any subsequent releases, especially as a possible resource for CM scenario and mod development! Mace

Capt Pig, The TCP/IP patch is currently being reviewed and tested to ensure that it is optimally coded, and bugless. I'd personally rather wait for a quality product, than have a faulty one released quickly. Secondly, Steve and Charles were thoughtful enough to ask their customers what they would prefer, the tcp/ip update, or game system tweaks. The customers collectively asked for the game system tweaks, which have now been delivered. If you like to troll, I suggest you take it to the Peng thread! Mace

Well, we've frequently had the "What's your favorite tank" topic. Time for a change. Which tank would you consider the most ugliest produced during WW2, prototypes included? I personally think the American T31 Demolition tank prototype (a derivative of the Sherman) would have to be right up there at the top of the Fuglies! Mace

The full nomenclature for this version of the Sherman was: M4A3E8 Some bright spark obviously thought it was far simpler to say "Easy Eight" rather than "M4A3E8" Mace PS Pillar, don't you sleep? [This message has been edited by Mace (edited 11-11-2000).]
