Thus proving the general contention that Phillies Phan's are boorish louts who cannot read unless it has pictures...preferably naked ones of gym teachers with hairy legs by the look of it!

Good grief no - of course not!! How insulting - they can propogate by importing frozen semen - no need for men for that at all.
They import men from NZ to have enjoyable SEX.....with someone who knows what a clitoris is for and how to make best use of it!! :eek:
Edit...OHHHhhhh NOOOoooo....I've posted to a PENG thread by mistake....woe is me....doomed forever.......

At 100 yards?? Sure - SMGs' get great factors at 100 yds!!
Otherwise yeah - slow but tough, not sure about the weak armament tho' - although he did lose the next election IIRC, so perhaps he was obsolescent by the time of CM??!

Treeburst has offered to run all the random-end-game-magic himself.

Yah Joe - I can maange a nod in your direction without grimacing too much!!
Tom I think your suggestion of each player designing a scenario may not be such a good idea - how long would it take, and who's gonna playtest the scenarios to ensure balance?????
Remember most of us...well me at least....are players, not designers.
And, lastly, Tree - you're gonna have to explain why you would think the Mexican Peso would not be attractive in NZ!!

I'd just like to say that they ALL look jolly pretty!!

No prob Sockey - I figured you'd be reading this, so thought I'd throuw you off the scent...
....or perhaps play a double bluff.....since I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you think you know what I'm gonna do!!

No - you should increase it to help out our balance of payments deficeit!!
-
They seal them in plastic bags here, just to deal to the lieks of Commissar!!

I think 25 +/-4 might be a bit tight if there's any attack/defend games going.
I like to take my time if attacking...relatively speaking....do a little recon, etc.
Still it might make for a bit better balance - attack often seems to have the edge over defence.
So I'll go along with whatever.
-
BER sounds great to me. +/- 4 turns should be ample.
we're talking about 30 move games I believe?
-
US$50 = NZ$125 or so......sounds like an invite to take up CM professionally to me!!
And it'd certainly be easier to send to me than a trophy!!
Tree can you register me as "Stalin's Organ" please? That's the nic I use from home and this'll be the shove I need to use it from work as well.
Ta
Mike

Artillery almost certainly - it frequently immobilises armour - K-O's are much less common.

Gimme a go - PBEM only unless you're a kiwi (and I've forgiven Kiwi-Joe now, so I'll play him too!!
)I can do a turn/day, sometimes more if time-zones are right.
I'm on TH and THCAL as Kiwi-Mike

Fired FROM a sled does not mean it was a rocket powered sled!!
-
Marco's a Kiwi??
Well he's probably doign a bloody wonderful job then!!
And we did NOT disband teh airforce - we're going to disband the strike andjet training squadrons - 5% of the military that uses up about 15% of thebudget to fly obsolete aircraft for which no-one has a use!
Instead of them we're actually going to give the army some oney - not that they'll know what to do with it of course, 'cos they haven't had any since before Vietnam!
-
It's been noted before by lots of ppl. I don't recall whether it was gonna be fixed or whatever.

Dave that's true, but the A/C's were NOT AA assets - they were recon/patrol/convoy protection assets. any AA fire was incidental to their main role.
IMO the HE was there mostly for use against ground targets.
Hence I do not think they were meant to only engage armour, or even primarily engage armour - they just have too little AP ammo, and the load out of HE is far too high for this purpose.
FYI IIRC the British 20m Aerlikon mostly fired an APHEIT shell by the end of the war for air-to-air combat - that is it had a strengthened nose for AP, carried both HE and incentiary charges, and had a tracer base.
Obviously the HE and incendiary charges in such a projectile would be very small, but aircraft systems are quite vulnerable to fragment damage and the AP nose was designed to put the projectile inside the skin where it would do the maximum damage.

Dave the 20's usually have 4 times as much HE as AP ammo!
I wonder if it is something to do with the A/C being a "vehicle" rather than a tank? IE it's a recom asset rather than a battle asset, and so the AI just doesn't shoot as much with it? I don't have any data to support this - just musing.

Some games use markers - sometimes including false ones that represent nothing at all. In other cases you just get dice rolls to "see" the opposition, and/or a requirement to stick to orders combined with limited ability to change those orders.
Additionally there's the dice!

Just for interest's sake, last night I was playing a scenario heavy with satchel charges, and you do actually get to see them flying through the air, at elast in an overhead view (#5) - same with rifle grenades.
