Nah, he's a wuss! A wuss with a lot of smarts, tenacity, and fighting spirit, but still a wuss! Mace (just joking, Stefan. If you like, just take it out on me in our PBEM)

Matt once had hair?!!! I'll be blowed! Mace

Fog of War is when you have no idea what's going on in the battlefield! That is, your opponent does something sneaky you weren't expecting and you go 'Sh*t, where did that come from'! Mace

Errr, what plane silhouette would you like to see moving across the ground? Tempest, P47, Fw190F? Mace

And it has an excellent Multiplay facility! Co-op play in Steel Beasts is excellent! Mace

And I'd like to mention last night's Rugby League World Cup victory: Australia 22 Great Britain 2 Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi Mace

An monthly English Military Modelling magazine, called 'Military Modelling' (surprised?) has been running since the early 70s. This magazine is a very good source of information on WW2 uniforms and armour and is worth investing in if you're that way inclined. It's published by Nexus Special Interests Ltd Mace

I'm suitably impressed! WildBill, you continue to bring out quality product, even though you have both Brian Rock and Joe Newell assisting. How do you do it? Mace (waiting for a response from Brian or Joe)!

sinaweek, err... Shornasheep, no, ah, Seanachai has accused me of firing shots in anger. This I can categorically deny, filling his Britisher/Canadian/Polish/whatever troops with bullet holes fills me with nothing but an overwhelming sense of joy!!! Mace

Fallschirmhobbits been getting the best of you, or are you still ticked off about loosing that little ring? Mace

Yep great work! Now excuse me, I have to post a lot more mindless drivel than usual as I've been demoted back to junior member! Mace

Crack open a beer keg! Happy birthday, and welcome to the old fart's club! Mace

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Joe Shaw: Mace and I are just starting but so far his playing abilities are no more advanced than his writing ability. And if you've read The Forward Observer ... and who hasn't ... you'll see that he's pretty limited there as well.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> In comparison with the bard, I must admit that my writing skills are somewhat lacking. However, when benchmarked against those of Slow Bore, who pours out words as quick as crap from a poor WW2 German Ostfronter suffering with dysentry*, it is easy to see why I get to write the more interesting articles. Which brings me to a bit of logical manipulation: If my playing abilities are no more advanced than my writing abilities, and my writing abilities far exceed those of Slow Bore, does this imply that my playing abilities far exceed those of Mr Bore? <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Right, I'm off ...

Jump in, the ...errr... water's fine (nice and stinky, just as you like it)! Since the great and late Muzzlehead is no longer a contributor (something about devoting his full time deciding on some nice PINK curtains to go with his LAVENDER PC), it's good to see a different kind of 'head' to the D***heads we normally get here. Just one thing, dont go around yelling 'FFE' like you used to about 10 years ago, it may upset a few of the locals! Mace

Pzvg, Sorry about your dad, hope all turns out well! Mace

Jabos bait!!! Just as well PE hasn't got Close-air support coded in the game, or there would be large amounts of scrap metal blocking the road. Mace

An recent edition of Military Modelling magazine had an article about the Kangaroo, its usage and what units they were attached to. Feel free to drop me a email if you need further details. Mace

Say, including the page number links right up on the front thread summary page is quite innovative!! One question though: don't you guys ever sleep? Mace

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Maximus: Yeah, huh, huh, and the first one we'll take is Madmatt. (Since he is now employed by Battlefront) We'll hold him ransom for a CM5: Rising Sun or we'll polish up his bald little noggin bright enough to blind Steve and Charles. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hmmm. Maximus, you may be on to something here! Ransom note to read: Steve, Charles, If you dont want to see Madmatt again, you better get working on CM5:Pacific War! Mace

I'm sure if we all asked nicely, a Pacific War CM could be implemented! If that doesn't work, blackmail, bribery, or the taking of hostages may need to be considered! Mace
