It sound like you are getingthe worst kind of Penging. I hve been there ad know the dangers first hand. Advise you ask? Ok here is some .....He IS a puker. Expect vomit...and lots of it. He WILL puke. There is no maybe about it....You wankers have all been warned. Meanwhile I met up with PeterNZ last night in NYC and just got home a couple hours ago. He was so hung over from Friday night that he didn't drink anythig the entire time I as there. This of course cut into my drunken foolishness as it is more fun to be slobbering drunk when someone else is too. I still had an excellent time and it was sobering to meet Peter (get it). I did have several times where I was a bit shaken by the events of Sept. 11th...the smell..the sight of half knocked out buildings (**)...was very disturbing but Peter helped to keep the spirits up....enough about that...Has Peng puked yet?

I am not a "mod" guy (I'm a rocker) but I have gone to your site for scenarios. I don't go there as much as it sounds like these guys do but I would certainly send you $5 or $10 to keep the ream alive. Think about it.

Jesus Lorak, you haven't been back long enough for me to pull the mess of a game that Meeks made so we can finish the damn thing. Use what you've learned from me, young Skywalker.

I anyone is ging to be in NYC tomorrow night or Sunday morning I will be meeting up with PeterNZ on his fabulously sucessful US tour 2001. Just drop me an email in the next 24 hours and I will supply details. The rest of you can piss off, you jitbags.

MikeyD I did a similar thing. I purchased a new computer in Oct.'99 figuring the game would be out very shortly and certainly by Christmas...Had I known the truth I would have held off till June 2000 and gotten more computer for my money (hee hee). Richocet, there were no "movies" with the Alpha AAR only screen shots. Imposter!!!!!!

He is much to bashful and shy o post this himself but today is the 40th anniversary of the hatching of Peng.

I look to be in good shape myself.

I recenly had a conversation with a guy in the CMHQ chat room and he was saying what another player was doing was game. I told him that I thought there was almost nothing you could do in the game that is gamey. You can create a "story" about damn near every situation toexplain why you are doing it. But I gotta say folks playing for maximun points instead of proper tactics smells very gamey to me. I can't think of a time where instead of defending or attacking or in a meeting engagement I have concentrated on trying to kill the units that might have the highest point value (let alone actually knowing which do) instead of worrying about the tactical situation at hand. I am not a har core VL guy but I am a control the battlefield guy. Maybe I'm wrong here...I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

Don't know if there is a difference but I have never "hunted" or FOs and I have won more games than I deserve to have won. (what I am trying to say is if you are looking to kill FOs then you have alreaaady won the game and should just call it quits)

Playing a game where neither side knows what the other side has is the preferred way to play. But since I doubt you will find anyone who hasn't played the demo scenarios you will have to make do. I also assume you have played them both. I would offer to play you but I know every inch of ground in those games. Must have played them hundreds of times and that is not an exaggeration. I guess the point of this is to get a buddy or someone you can turn on to the game and play them. The scenarios will still be reasonably new to both of you.

Mr. Ghostboy, I believe you expressed a dislike for NYC (hey it's not for everyone). There is a beer.com place in Hells Kitchen too. So we could always do that.

Ricochet, my history is exactly like yours (although judging from your member number I probably came out of lurking before you). The Alpha AAR was very tense to read. I was on the edge of my seat everyday looking for a new installment.

News came across the wire earlier today that Peter was in NYC. Plans are already in the works to meet up. I would prefer to meet in NYC but those pussies Hiram and Peng are pushing for Philly. If any of you other limp wristed peace lovin bleeding heart liberals want any say in his destiny let me know. I guess the up side to Philly is if we went to O'Neals you could buy us beers online.

Welcome back Lorak ya wanker.

Wankers.

Am I missing something with those pictures? When big explosions happen I alwys see those begining of a mushroom cloud things. I know don't use any explosion mods or anything ..that's just the way big booms look.

Heyzuse..Seanaunpronounceables sigs are now to long for me o bother reading. MrSpanker has read my email disparaging him as Peng like slow PBEMer and still hsn't sent the file back.

Wankers.

Have you lds settled on place? If it's the Elbow room let me know so I can send a round or 2.

Just an idea guys...the is a place in London called the Elbow room. It has the webcam like the bar nea m in Philly. From this site we could buy you guys beers from the states and watch the whole happen online...just and idea..for all I know the Elbow roomsucks.

I think Peter is working in Mid-town on 5th Ave so your meeting place would be fairly good for him. The Philly crew probably won't be able to make that gig. We are currently in negotiations with Doug Beman about a Sunday early afternoon thing in Philly. I hope Peter can make that one. Peter is spending some time on the west coast too. How funny would it be if h attended several of these things across the US during his stay. Talk about being welcomed to a country.

The moving back real fast could be one of a couple of things. It the HT saw right away it was targeted, it may have done the emergency run away kinda move. I do not think here is a delay with that. My understanding of the built in delay is that some portion of the delay is for the sending and receiving movements orders. Not such order are needed when you are running for your life. The other reasoncould be that the HT was veteran/crack or elite. I have seen delays on these of less than 5 seconds.

Hey Joe Shaw...check this out.....http://inq.philly.com/content/inquirer/2001/10/01/sports/LYON01.htm

Sunday brunch with the CM junkies....I like that. I know social venues in the City of Brotherly Love very well. There are about 40 bars and rsturnts within 4 blocks of where I am typing this. Te first place that would pop into my pointy head is O'Neals. Not my main hangout by anymeans and certainly not a "nice" place BUT anyone who wanted to watch the get together could view it on the Internet AND buy us beers if they want. And if we do a Sunday afternoon we can catch some football and the Europe folks can tune in. Just an idea. I don't mean to plan your gig.

If you would consider Philly I am pretty sure we can get Peng, Hiram, myself and if the timing is right we are going to have a visitor from across the pond in our area soon.
