Ah... and the arguing over points starts again
... Push us hard enough and we'll remove the points again, as we did with CM:SF. So tread carefully
...
Steve
There would be a great wailing and gnashing of the teeth.
Maybe just start a sub-forum "things you want to natter on about but the Dev's will not be looking at"

No it is called Uluru
Why would they change the name? Oh, I see Emrys nailed it....

Awesome rat trap.
pretty expensive bait though...

With apologies to Robert Frost
"TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. "
Because down that road was Speedy's halftrack
flailing about and scraping its fenders on the Bocage
and then I filled it with 30 cal MG rounds
and punched a 37mm AP round right through it

Pretty accurate imo. Talk to any cop that has been involved in an active shooting incident and you'll learn all you want about tunnel vision. Most of them couldn't even tell you they heard the gunfire but they could swear they were able to track the bullet visually in flight. Adrenaline is an amazing thing.
Auditory exclusion, tunnel vision, loss of fine motor skills, these are all documented in LEO (police) shooting incidents and is why LEO's and soldiers train so hard to build "muscle memory" and instinctive actions. Under stress you typically default to your training.

I just skimmed this to avoid any spoilers, starting a PBEM of it with Speedy, looks like a boatload of fun.

So, anyone getting hosed with taxes or import duties on their game?

Post the name of the QB map if the AI plans seem majorly off, they can be tweaked by the designer. I let him know of one map that the AI just didn't defend logically and he fixed the AI plan.

FACT: luck never played a key role during WWII, or any other war for that matter. Hence the game is fundamentally flawed.
Did you ever cancel your preorder?

Newbie over here, but long time gamer - This is my first CM game, and my first impressions of it are that it looks promising but good lord could it be any more difficult to get into?
You want a game that is hard to get into try Empires in Arms by Matrix. Napoleonic strategy game. I bought it in 2007 or 2008 and still can't figure it out.

Fulda Gap, 1985!
That would definitely have my vote.

Maybe the rapture is only delayed, Speedy is being attacked by Zombie Tanks

Sorry for your loss Hiram

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser Gate.
And because of you I am now watching the Directors Cut. I first thought the quote was from a Saberhagen Berserker story, but Google is my friend.

Lads it's my sad duty to inform you of an act of Un-Cesspudlian behavior in our ranks.
{Joe pauses to let the hubub die down and to allow Michael an opportunity to get himself under control and stop sobbing hysterically}
As you know I've recently begun a game with NG Cavscout in CMBN. I won't commit the offense of repeating his insipid initial emails but you may take MY word for it as your Beloved Justicar for Life of the Peng Challenge Thread that they were ... minimal comments. But at least they were comments.
I responded with the following ... Not glittering prose to be sure but well within the traditions of the Peng Challenge Thread.
His response to me in the email that accompanied his latest turn ... NOTHING! Not a single word, not even a smilie.
Now I ask you lads, is that the behavior of a true Knight of the CessPool and I answer for you as I know you would ... NO Joe, it isn't.
Now I don't doubt for an instance that if he had the native wit of a clam he could have come up with something, even an "oh yeah, well so's your old man." But let's face it lads, he simply needs help.
Can you take just a moment of your time, can you spend just a few braincells, can you ... help? For if ever there was a soul in need, it is NG Cavscout. Please make your suggestions here, for his sake.
I'm not asking for King Henry the freaking Fourth here lads, just a few words to let me know that I'm playing a CessPudlian.
Joe
You drooling pustule, are you so desperate for any human interaction that I can't send a single un commented turn without you getting all flibberty gibberty and starting to tear up? Just turn to the senile twit next to you at the bingo table, no, not the bush in the corner, and see if he will talk to you.
I, unlike some of us, have to work at night, so, rather than leave you with nothing to do all night but play shuffle board or yell for the nurse to bring you some pudding, I decided to send you a turn, so you could entertain yourself by clicking randomly on the screen. (maybe you can have that MG team fire again at some very dangerous bushes)
Unfortunately, I had to leave for work, so I had no time to compose 4 sentences of flowery prose that you could take 3 hours to decipher using your "Boys Own Dictionary" to puzzle out the multi syllable words.
I will be sure to not let it happen again.

It is always a safe bet to blame an Australian.

A little intrepid interweb research has unveiled PapaKhan's goth 'girlfriend'. Admittedly she was drunk and dumped his spotty arse the next morning when she woke, claiming something about being too good for the likes of him...
I like mine better

Yet another example of the promise the lad showed at first, only to disappoint and dismay his poor old Liege Lord. He was always tardy for Squire school, his papers were exercises in minimalism and he just didn't seem to care at all about upholding the honor and traditions of the Shavian House.
His problem, well, ONE of his problems (remind me to tell you about that goth chick he brought home from the tavern one night) was that he had no sticktoitiveness ... as witnessed by his absence from this thread for so long.
I finally created a scenario especially for him (I called it "Let's Get PapaKhann Out of the Castle Then!") that featured deep snow, ski troops at night and a grand total of five, count them folks, FIVE turns. Somehow he managed to win and was given his spurs ... then the BOOT!
Also his eating habits ... {shudder}.
Joe
Wait, goth chick is a problem?

For many years I have avoided this strange string of threads, mainly because mental health is important to me. But curiosity being what it is, may I ask from what sanctuary for the disturbed does this crap come from?
Most of it comes from Oddstraylia, so you should be familiar with it, at least the shorter words. But then again, as an SSN, you should probably read the rules or, even better, Sod Off.

My strategy is to run you out of ammo before trundling out my Tigers.

ng cavscout you massive loser ... this shouldn't require the services of Joe Rochefort and the Midway codebreakers ... I can't sent you anything ...
... WITHOUT AN EMAIL ADDRESS!
As I requested in an email I sent through the kind offices of BFC and YOUR profile which may or may not be accurate but then that's not MY problem is it.
Joe
You poor sad little man. Did you check your email? I sent you an email clearly labelled "PBEM" early this morning.
You should eat more fiber, that might help clear your mental blockages.
Are you sure you aren't from Oddstraylia? Strike that, even poor missing chromosome Speedy has figured out the whole Email Address and Checking of Aforementioned Email Account mystery.
-
Which scenario?

Joe Shaw
Where is my setup? Did you send it by pony express? Or are the Mormon Wives keeping you otherwise occupied?
