<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Seanachai: To my long suffering opponents. I thought I would be posting many turns on Sunday. That was before the next door neighbour decided to take a tree down and ripped the phone connection off our building. Apparently he was not a lumberjack in his last incarnation (In fact, I checked the Karmic Registry and he was, I believe, a doorstop. Hopefully his next pass through will be as a toilet brush). It is my belief that Qwest will have service restored by the time I get home today (working late), so that I may once again listen to the death cries of the ill-led. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> But I though all Minn-e-SO-tans were lumberjacks.

Before setting up a quick build, it's good to talk over certain aspects of the game: troop quality, type of engagement; weather, etc. Then you can either agree, disagree and walk away or if one side says "doesn't matter" then you're home free. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Hyar! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Lorak the Loathed, allow me to translate for my esteemed opponent, Sir Chupacabra. If by this missive he means to inform you of the demise of my troops through a combination of my own incredible stupidity and an insanely accurate barrage of 300mm rockets the likes of which I heretofore had not seen, then he is indeed correct. Chalk up a win for Chuppy and a loss for me. The good Knigget has refrained, for what reason I do not know, to gloat, taunt and humiliate my 93-7 performance ... the mirror image of his own earlier debacle. Even after I taunted him unmercifully ... as any good Knigget would do ... about such a lopsided loss, he yet withholds abuse. I'm sure he will correct that situation when he comes down from whatever really was in that samovar. P.S. -- Lorak the Loathed you owe TC Schutz a turn or a surrender. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 11-02-2000).]

The Morse Forces, MFers for short, did indeed eke out a MINOR vic ... thanks to some outstanding work by my ATG crews, a stand-up effort (sit DOWN, Blousemouse) by the engineer platoon (you remember those Zippos, dontcha JD?) and an early ambush by my ninja infantry platoon.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Seanachai: And Moriarity, my chum. I'm so very sorry it's taken me so long to return my troop setup to you. Most of the delay has been caused by the fact that I can't find the bleeding map, let alone my own units. I finally had to turn weather off just to get a sense of what I was attacking. Intriguing terrain. Not that it matters a ****e, since none of our forces will ever see any of it, including the portions that rise up to smack them in the face as they die. I worried less about a good tactical setup than I did about keeping my units close enough to each other so they don't continuously shoot each other by mistake. You lunatic sod, do you realize I purchased units that can't even open fire without injuring themselves? That your setup giving us 'high' quality units is about as useful as giving dead people 'The Best in Health Care?' My ultra-elite troops, the twelve of them not armed with frigging weapons completely useless in the environment you've chosen for us to fight in, will now creep forward to bite your sodding ankles, which is the first, and very likely only, portion of your bastards that we will ever see. Next time, please let me know that my mortars will be only useful as awkward clubs, that any vehicle other than a Flame Carrier will be useless, and that, in fact, any weapon of a greater range and usefulness than a butterfly knife will be completely pointless. How nice for you to get your revenge in the dark and fog. You rotter. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> My dear Sasquatch, am I to infer from this pile of gibberish that there is something aboot (I'll use the Canadian for your benefit) the map that displeases you? Do you mean to say that you did not use the opportunity of selecting high-quality troops to choose those who are highly skilled and know how to use weapons of extremely high firepower at short range. If that be the case, then I can say only that the immortal words of Lt. Harris ("Police Academy") come to mind: "Too bad, so sad. Bye, bye." Of course, you have the option of surrendering now, if you like. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 10-24-2000).]

Kniggets, Squires and true believers, restraint is in order here. BTS well knows how to deal with someone like Fuerte who lacks the capacity to partake of the board in good faith.

Game Update: Goanna: Should have surrendered but insisted on playing to the draw. Chuppy: Nothing going right in this one ... he's just kicking the **** out of my feeble forces. I may lay claim to the newest low score in the 'pool ... yes, even lower than 93-7. Geier: See "Chuppy" above. This one's not quite as hopeless yet, but I'm trying. Lorak: I've redoubled my efforts to lose, but TC Schutz is enjoying himself and blowing Lorak's gum-chewers back to the phlegm they came from. Blousehaus: One Hetzer away from reclaiming MY town. Berli: Next couple of turns should determine how things will go. Hiram: The little sneak ran an AC around my flank ... but he's about to meet Mr. Sherman. jdmorse: He's having a grand ol' time leveling every building in sight. Peng: He thinks he's doing better than he is. Pawbroon: Same as Peng. Are they related? Seanachai: I've been tardy in returning the setup. I have seen the map and it's very, very bad for both of us.
