Let me translate: 'he who drive tank down narrow laned, built up area wont keep tank long'

That's OK. That's a quarter more than we credit you lot. Always remember when you're hugging dirt, not to stick your bum in the air. Also, tag whatever you can with 'Mother Beautiful Thread' or 'MBT'.....there's always room for a bit of marketing. Sorry to hear that. You ('specially you) and your lot of blokes take care, and return home safe.

In an extentionalistic, metaphysical sense?

Despair? I think you're confusing 'Despair' with the 'earth-shattering trauma' of discovering Andreas' is their natural father.

Fine, fine attributes for a MBTer to have, let me tell you. Keep up the good work.

Yep. I have a strong feeling of deja vu as well. And there was some discussion about tank ramming, with people frothing at the mouth and yelling at one another.....good times!

Crikey, you're back! Parole hearing no doubt went well for you?

Poor Noba! *pats Noba on the back for support* My commiserations for your loss. Still, as we Geelong supporters say there's always next year. But that Grand Final 4th quarter was some of the best footy I've ever seen. Real nail biting stuff. [ September 24, 2005, 12:41 AM: Message edited by: Mace ]

Nothing wrong with your memory, Paul. Two were apparently assigned with that unit to undergo trial, and were used during an attack on a farm in the Elst area. Both were eventually knocked out by fighter bombers. And it's the very same photo that appears in the Concord book you mention (no 7039) [ September 23, 2005, 10:32 PM: Message edited by: Mace ]

*PRIORITY ONE WARNING ALERT******************** Warning! Warning! Warning! Today the Australian Football League 2005 Grand Final takes place. Noba's team is in the grandfinal. This means if his team wins, he's going to be an insufferable nong bastage (ie much like he is now) who's going to go on and on and on about the victory until the 2006 season. If his team loses, he's going to wallow in the pits of dispair, and may even go into deep depression and stop posting here. Join me here in wishing Noba's team a loss, because really we could all do with a good laugh. This has been a public service notice. [ September 23, 2005, 04:35 PM: Message edited by: Mace ]

Didn't we tell you crayon just wasn't suitable?

Weird willies?! Hey, don't blame your genitalia deformity on us!!!

Nah, they do it to him. :mad:

According to Steve Zaloga's article 'Super Pershing' in Military Modelling (Vol 35, No 4, page 18) there are three documented engagements. The first on 4 Apr 1945 where the AFV engaged and destroyed either a Panther or Tiger during battles along the Weser river. The second occured during the liberation of a concentration camp at Nordhausen around 10 Apr 1945 where the AFV engaged a panzer (type not identified). The third on 21 Apr at Dessau when the tank engaged a Tiger in close combat. Of course, the article also suggests 'This could be nearly any type of German tank, as US tank crews regularly called nearly any German tank a Tiger'. So I guess it's not 100% certain that an engagement occured between King Tiger and Super Pershing, and it still seems to be the topic of discussion amongst AFV historians.

Nah, I think sending Boo to coventry is a bit harsh. Oh... You mean that OTHER silly sod? Yeh OK. *shrug*

Allow me to be the heretic here and say while ASL was very good, I preferred the two SPI (or was it S&T?) skirmish level boardgames, Sniper and Patrol. As for other wargames? For miniatures we used to use Tractics in the wargame club I was in (that'll age me ). For computer military sims/wargames it'd have to definitely be the CM series first, followed by the IL2FB series, Ghost Recon and addons, Steel Beasts (and very much looking forward to Steel Beasts Pro Personal edition) and Rainbow 6 Ravenshield and addons. For some reason I keep returning to these games.
