Foobar

I just sent the first file to our enemies. I am already feeling the divisions between forces..hehe Dont get me wrong Gyrene, I want to keep your infantry alive, but you had BETTER keep me from getting whacked by fausts!

Let the record show that "Panzerman" has done three very foolish things. 1) He invoked the spirit of the Cesspool for his own heresies and babbling 2) He tried to change his name from ROB/1 to PANZERMAN !!!!!!!!! 3) He didnt send me a pbem file, when I was delayed. He simply panicked, ran in circles, and posted this stupid thread. I would like anyone reading to rate his crimes in order of importance, telling us which one he most deserves to be executed for. Its important that we do this all legal-like.

FIRST FILE SENT to GYRENE.. HEre we go guys

Gyrene, I am player A. That means I will handle all vehicles and AFV's.It also means I will be responsible for all pbem files sent to the other team. I didnt get from our pathetic loser Axis opponents, is who is the Player A, and Player B. But I am making an arbitrary decision that Player A will be Oddball. It just doesnt seem right making someone named Oddball a grunt. Oddball, you are Player A. You control all vehicles. You are responsible for getting turns to me, and I to you. We are both responsible for saving each file, and getting it to our Player B's, and back to each other. I will send a detailed email to the whole group. ----This just in---- I have received the scenario. We begin immediately. As a standard, we will no longer post correspondance here in the thread to each other as teammates, regarding in-game information. We will use this thread to abuse our enemies. And let me tell you Oddballs, Chrisl, you are going to be on you like white on rice. Prepare to die. So Everyone

Warmaker: I love your little skit. While the coop game we are starting now will not have the instant spontanaety (sp?) of that, I am sure there will be plenty of blaming, finger pointing, and general fun to it. If this works out, we should make this a regular thing... Until BTS can implement it in tcp-ip mode, we will make due.

LOL chrisl, oh man, you have no idea how bad I want a laptop.. but I cant get umm... budget approval from my finincial advisor for that discretionary spending? As it stands, Rune will be picking everything. All we do is start our engines and go. I will email him right now, and request that scenario not be "evil". He knows what we want. But anyway, please go ahead and pick A, B or C. Choose what you would prefer most. I am not voting, as this is concerning me inconveniencing you guys.... (but personally I would prefer b or c)

Update: Rune promised me that we would have a map by the end of Sunday. But the one catch in this whole thing, is the fact that I am leaving for May 2-6th to washington DC. We have a couple options, and I need a vote from the 3 of you on what you want to do. a) Wait to begin until the following Monday (May 7th) Start asap, and put the game on hold on wednesday 2nd-until the following Monday c) Start asap, and have Gyrene play my part while I am gone. (this will be our general rule for when one of us is unavailable) Gyrene, Oddball, Chrisl... please reply with what you want to do.

Hiram, I think this would be a perfect parallel thread to Kiwi Joe's now famous challenge thread.. Play as many people here as possible until you win one!! Good luck brother, dont lose heart!

Mark IV, you hit it right on the head..

deanco, I am so glad to hear it. Keep up the great work.

I was thinking that anything on wheels should be commanded by Player A, the AFV guy. If we give B the tracks, he might be able to support his infantry independantly in combat, which defeats the purpose. I'm flexible on the issue, but thats what I had in mind... So to reiterate: Player A - any self-propelled vehicle: tank, track, car. Player B - all infantry, support guns, arty. (since Player A will have less units to command, he will be responsible for file transfers to the other team) Chrisl-If you get Oddball's email, please send it to me.. I need to get in touch with the 3 of you that way.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Captain Foobar. I'm a "wargamer-lite", not a grognard like yourself.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> LOL, umm.. You can ask anyone in the cesspool. I am a complete FOO. Although I am no expert, I like to at least "try" the historical approach as much as I can. It makes it more fun for me OK, we have our 3 volunteers. So here are the teams, (chosen arbitrarily)... Captain Foobar------------Allied Player A Gyrene--------------------Allied Player B Oddball-------------------Axis Player A Chrisl--------------------Axis Player B I will make the arrangements to get out map and such built for us. There will be plenty of landmarks built in (Hill 404, etc). It should probably be either a Meeting Engagement or a probe, so that everyone gets a chance to do stuff. I'm thinking we might allow a little more communication than every 5 turns, perhaps every 3.. but we can hammer this all out later... Oddball, Chris, you guys hammer out who wants to do what (armor or infantry). I will email you all direct as soon as I know somefink.

It is a vision that will be realised, as soon as I get 3 VOLUNTEERS.. come on people, lets GO

Gyrene, are you going to volunteer to be one of the players? In answer to your question, I'll need you to sell that concept to me. Its sounds like an ahistorical mix to me, and I was thinking of starting this coop game to further the cause of realistic simulation. The confusion and hesititance between armored and infantry forces to work together. Do you want 2 players on a team that are able to operate independantly? I was thinking it would be fun if neither player had a "whole" force, and they would have to rely on each other to succeed. My tanks cant move in without infantry screens, and the infantry cant take the ground without my overwatch support. Tell me what you think of that...

bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I have always wanted to do this. I volunteer to play in a public co-op game, just to get things rolling. I will be player A of the allies, I need a partner, and two opponents. We also need someone to make a quick scenario that would be appropriate. Rune? do you have anything handy that you would recommend for this style of play? We need the forces split up and deliniated on the setup. And units must be purchased by you, not by us... Perhaps player A would be ALL AFVs., and player B would be all infantry and non-towed support? ONLY big rules I have for this game, 1)EVERYONE involved, TURN MOVEMENT LINES AND TARGETING LINES OFF. No fair knowing exactly what your teammate is up to. 2)Initial conversations about the game plan will be allowed, but after setup phase, the ONLY conversations allowed will be a single email both ways on turn 5,10,15,20,25,etc. 3) Player A from allies and Player A from Axis will be the ONLY ones sending files across the sides. Player A will be responsible for getting his B player in on the turn. It will take slightly longer, but it will be much easier to keep organized. 4) Filenames will be figured out before we start. We need to keep it well organized, and make sure that everyone gets to see the movie files. If anyone has a protocol for this, I would love to hear it. So, I need three COMMITTED, honest players to contact me by email. Serious offers only. If you cant send at least one file per day, please sit this one out. One file per day minimum. This is going to be fun.

BTS: What kind of AFV poster do I get if I send my 50+ bucks right now???

BRUSH!!! Where is that brush from!?!?!

Stryker, tell us about the campaign game. I hope you are talking about some Mini-CMMC??? Please? If so, I am there!

:eek: The craters look GREAT, but what I am also drooling over is that brush texture!! where do I get that?!?! Please answer!!

I need to point out that our brother Phillies Phan is living a lie. He is actually called Hiram Sedai. He will always be known as this. And I always mistake him for Hakko Ichu anyways, so that makes it even more dubious. Be true to yourself Hiram. Don't make me get out the belt again...

Now are PSW's green with white stripes, or whit with green stripes?? sincerely, Confused and Bewildered

KiwiJoe has been here for a very long time. I have been laughing my a** off reading this constantly expanding comedy. Kiwi, I dont know what you have been taking lately, but I bet I would reduce the dosage a tad. This is cool. You bunch of tragic losers. I dont want to watch, but I can't look away.

"The Holy War" would be an excellent choice. Even if BTS doesnt use it, I am going to. I am currently using Wumpscut's "Bunker Gate 7" as my CMBO intro music.. :cool:

Ba BUMP whats the latest?
