<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mr. Clark: I only have 2 PBeM's going... and I STILL don't want to keep straight which one is 1.05 and which isn't. Luckily, they both converted. (WHY, wouldn't you want to convert to 1.1?????)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Sometimes, there are issues. In the switch from 1.04 to 1.05, BTS warned that the FOs for offboard arty would lose 50 percent to 75 percent (or some such figure) of their shells. Also, because of the CM naming convention, it sometimes required players to create a duplicate folder (as in the 1.04/1.05 upgrade) and not everyone has and extra 300 megs of disk space to dedicate to CM. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

For those who have not converted turns, it's easy. Use "save game" in 1.05, open turn in 1.1. Done. By the numbers: 1) You can "save" a game only in the orders phase. I've found it easiest to save the game at the beginning of the orders phase. 2) Open the saved game in CM 1.1, click the e-mail option, give it a p-word. 3) Issue your orders. 4) Send the turn to your opponent. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by bauhaus: Speaking of Aussies that are just a weee bit slower than the average folk. I mean that is what this thread is about. Any way, Stuka (pommie) and I finally got our game underway, at least I did my part. Purchased troops and the initial set up. Stuka had purchased his troops in a battle that was to feature no armor. So what did he do? Purchased armor. No wonder he can't get out of his squire status. Moriarty, could you please help this young lad out. Teach him the difference between armor and infantry. DOH!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Anything for you Bauhaus, ol' buddy. Now, young Squire Stuka ... I trust you know the difference between armor and infantry, but in case you don't, lemme s'plain somefink to you. Armor gots the big tubes. Infantry gots the li'l ones. Now, let us address in all seriousness this breech of etiquette re this little mixup about you takin' armor in an infantry game ... Stuka me boy, go kick the snot out of the fargin' icehole sumnabatchin basteech Blousemouse. Big tubes, little ones let 'im have it. Blood and gore, Stuka. Blood and gore. HIS. Blow his little bits to littler bits. He lost to me 98-2. There's your mark. I expect, nay, demand 99-1. Muahahahahaahaha ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

Got any Guinness? ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

It's also apparent that there was a conspiracy here ... Madmatt used his keys to the pool to let that Yiddish-Italian Guy in here. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

Rob/1 you whined in the other Peng threads that you were sooooooo happy to see it closed "because it slowed the forum." If that's the case, do us a favor and don't waste our space. Sod off. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

I think that world renowned, dashing, debonaire, bald, 'pooler emeritus, man-of-few-words (most notably BITE ME), Madmatt should start our new thread. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters." [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 11-28-2000).]

damned ozpudlians. how much did you pay Madmatt? ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

Move It or Lose It. great fun. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

faster. and you can taunt your opponent more immediately. other than that, nothing. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

If I understand it correctly, TCP/IP capability will be available with the 1.1 patch being released Monday or Tuesday. CM2 is a ways off yet. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters." [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 11-25-2000).]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> You're telling me? I know exactly what Moriarty is capable of and none of it has anything to do with winning battles, quite the opposite.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Aw, c'mon, guys (and gals), I only wins once a year or so. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

By the numbers: Allies (Bauhaus) 147 casualties; 46 KIA 86 captured 3 mortars whacked 5 vehicles KO Men OK: 3 Score: 2 Axis (Moriarty) 16 casualties; 0 KIA Men OK: 96 Score: 98 ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters." [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 11-24-2000).]

well I remember those elephants with indigestion ... precursor to the 'pool, if you think about it. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters." [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 11-24-2000).]

Been there, seen that, Speedy, so I know what you're saying. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mark IV: 50% well done, Moriarty. Have a nice velvety Macallan for the un-housing of Bau. 'Fraid you'll have to swish it about a bit, then spit it out, though, for the Hiram thing. But it's the flavor that counts, eh? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That sounds like a dandy idea. When I get home from work, I'll tip about 3 or 4 fingers of Lagavulin ... as I don't have any Macallan at this point in time. Hiram beat me fair and square. Fought a good fight, he did. Yes, it's always nice to throw Bau out of his Haus. My green Volksturm gummers thwarted his armor-supported veteran gum-chewers. I cannot claim complete tactical superiority in this one, however, as it was a Berli scenario ... if you get my drift here ... and my green gummers had a few surprises from Sauron that evened the sides. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Stuka: Stuka, my errant Squire from Down Under, I trust you'll also notice that I LOST!!!! ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

Oh, LOOORRRRAAAAKKKK! Greetings, my good man. Two games to report, sir. Topplement of Moriarty by Hiram. Topplement of Bauhaus by Moriarty. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

CM just keeps getting better and better with mod builders like you around. Nice work, kiddo. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Originally posted by gummer You will have your files tomorrow, except Moriarty, did we decide to play that map you sent me or to continue playing Murder in the dark? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I believe we agreed to end that one ... as it is I gladly trashed the previous turns. Lorak, my good man, please be so kind as to chalk up another ignominious shellacking for Moriarty and a grand topplement for Geier. Johan, if you're into the ladder thingy, feel free to post that game. Let's go with the new one. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Berlichtingen: Yes, one of the highly esteemed and honored wearers of the propeller beanie. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

And as for you, Marshmallow, you referred with extreme prejudice and denigration to "journalists" in a previous post, so I won't dignify you with a response. ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."

Well, well out of the mouth of Babelfish comes that walking and talking belt, purse, boots and hatband ... Guano, er, no, Gila-boyo, oops, I mean ... Goanna, the fork-ed tongue boy, spewing forth and waxing less than poetic on the Bauhaus, Berli and yours truly. Your assessment of the pubication (misspelling intended) referred to as the NW Herald ... or Herlard for the myriad people unable to spell ... was a bit off the mark. I'm sure the fine journalists at the National Enquirer and the Globe now are mortified at your obvious slight at not being included as one of our sources. Shame on you, Scaly One. Bauhaus was indeed mistaken in referring to me as a "journalist" (more appropriately pronounced Urinalist) and you have fallen into the same trap. Speaking only for myself, I am and have worked hard to become a newspaperman. True newspapermen do not aspire to the ranks of Urinalists. True newspapermen are vile, disgusting parasites on humanity, held in lower esteem by the literate, semi-literate and illiterate public than cops, lawyers and used-car salesmen ... and I'm damned proud to be one. Urinalists (broadcast or print) ask the really stupid questions -- What are you feeling now? to the man who just watched his house burn down, losing all his possessions, pets and that money stuffed in the mattress. A newspaperman would just make up the fargin' quote and attribute it to the poor bastard. And speaking of quotes and re-quotes (sort of like crack and recrack, a reference only true Wisconsinites will understand), some of the tripe posted here is simply too good to pass up and it saves me the trouble of making the ****e up and attributing it to the likes of you. And, I'll have you know, we have convinced the neo-Nazis to continue their advertising with us ... but it's a pay-as-you-go thing, so they'll just have to roll a coupla winos or roust a coupla widows. And, by the by, just who are you to be turning up your nose so high and mighty-like at low-grade sex shops. I guess that means you've been frequenting the medium- and high-grade sex shops. Being just a working stiff instead of a business-owning, member of the oppressive upper echelons of society such as yourself, I cannot afford to go to such places, with the comfy sofas and high overhead. And so, you perambulating carcass-eater, I eagerly await your return -- from O-Man I can't believe they're paying me so much I can take the month of friggin January off -- so we can resume warfare. Take care. Have a safe trip home. (multiple edits to correct multiple errors in copy) ------------------ "I came to Casablanca for the waters."
