Moriarty

Lorak the Loathed, let it be known here and now that the vile, filthy, disgusting, unkempt, incontinent, impolite, impolitic forces of the forked tongue have been halted at the border. The valiant gum-chewers in their finest khaki duds have stilled the heathen hordes led by the Scaly One. In the fine scenario TF Butler, created by the 'pool's own Gerbiltoy, the end game result was a 48-46 draw, with Goanna, of course, holding fast to the lower number. Speaking of numbers: Axis (Goanna) -- 198 casualties (49 KIA); 1 mortar; 15 vehicles KO; 104 men OK. -- 46 Allies (Moriarty) -- 191 casualties (49 KIA); 1 mortar; 3 guns destroyed; 8 vehicles KO; 72 men OK -- 48. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Games Update: Situation normal: Currently on track to lose virtually every game I'm playing (give me time, Lorak, give me time). One or two possible exceptions to the rule, though. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Game updates: Pawbroon: Nice gunfight in the woods, but he's lost a smattering of little ACs, light tanks and the like. He did nail my Puma, but that was a consolation prize as he was aiming at the Jagdpanzer. Chuppy: True to form, I shot myself in the foot on the first freakin' move. The convoy of trucks loaded with Infantry and such was on "move" instead of "fast." and did not reach their disembarcation points. A nicely placed arty barrage has done some damage there. Berli: Game still in flux. Timely arrival of the Polish Air Force waxed a Jagdpanther. 88mm bunker under heavy smoke. Blousehausmaus: Next couple turns will determine the game. Armor and Infantry locked in combat. Your turn to lose, I believe. Geier: His armor is kicking the bejeesus out of my valiant gum-chewers ... aided by a pair of zooks that couldn't hit a barn from 20m. Goanna: Returned from Tarawa to find that nasty, immobilized HMC is still there, despite heavy arty. Immobile for the last 10 turns or so, this ballsy crew has toasted a mortar crew, Wirblewind and a Pz IVG. I might not win the war, but the HMC has made the fight worthwhile. Hiram: We have met again on the battlefield but it's too early to tell. jdmorse: His forces of evil have kicked the snot out of my preliminary defenses, but he has felt the heat of the Zippo team and spent a good deal of time and effort on a cantankerous 105mm howitzer. lorak: The softy just won't put the hammer down on TC Schutz. Dancing back and forth from behind a building, his (last?) M4 fell victim to Schutz, who dispatched it with one shot. Peng: Sodbuster has turned a lot of earth, but hasn't done much damage yet. Seniletea: Too scared to return my setup of evil, I guess. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 10-14-2000).]

Until Patboivin can manage some sort of worthy, righteous, vile, ill-mannered, cess-filled taunt/challenge of squirrel or knigget, he should remain unsponsored, to my way of thinking. My card's full with squire-whelp Stuka, who does at least put forth a decent taunt. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 10-14-2000).]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by patboivin: OGSF, I don't know if anyone will ever want to sponsor me, because I was assimilated many months ago by the CM Borg! I am tainted now.

Better than the lottery! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, you'll never get a game in this thread with that opening gambit. "Boo, hoo. Nobody will play with me" and a substandard attempt at the "beat the odds" bit. You want game, boy-o, then pick one or two out and give them a proper taunt and challenge. The name of the thread may have changed, but the ground rules haven't. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Actually, I care not which thread is used, I just don't want to have to go through two of them. Seniletea, I'm glad you accepted the challenge of the joust. Have you seen the screen shot of the map? Turn the river red, sir. Red with artificial coloring No. 2 ... nay, BLOOD of valiant and not-so-valiant troops. Litter the board with smoking and flaming ruins. Heap shame upon your enemy and yourself. Bash him with the brick your so fond of using. One of you will come out on top and lay claim to the new Peng thread. It's all or nothing. Ask no quarter, give none. A penny saved is a .... ooops wrong genre of cliche. I'd better stop right here. And, in the name of unity and fairness, I shall cut and paste this to the "other" thread and change the names where applicable. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

In fact, it was this very sorry excuse for a Knigget that suggested the coming tilt between Senile-losttoPeng-tea and Herr Meeks to resolve the issue of a home thread. Having seen the map, be damned thankful you're not involved in that one. That one by far is a contest of Titans. Perhaps at some point, Herr Berli will post a screenshot of the battleground. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Yes, the backblast of zooks and schrecks can start a building on fire. Also, I have experienced in CM an instance where 2 veteran PIATs fired all 20 rounds at a Puma at 100m or less in range and missed. I swear I heard the Puma crew laughing their butts off. I was not amused. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 10-07-2000).]

Awright, all of ya's -- an' you know who youse are -- back to the 'pool. You know better than to be mucking about in polite society.

I knew there would be trouble when I saw the title of this thread. To those of you unfamiliar with the ways of the Cesspool, its denizens apologize for any mistaken impressions that Mr. Meeks may have left. All was in jest as Mr. Croda is doubtless aware, having been a recent visitor and contributor to the Cesspool. MEEKS! Get home, please. And I loved the "serpentine" reference. Great movie. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Dale, with an attitude like that, you're a candidate for the Cesspool ... if you can taunt and take a taunt, that is. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Lawyer: Yeah, I agree I'm freakin' great, Barrold. You did mean ALL us guys readin' here, right? Well, you're correct on all accounts, except sex. Wimmen most likely aren't playin' CM. If they are, you better watch out! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> FYI -- There indeed are women who are lurkers on the board and those who post, too. And they do play the game. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Wish I could help you, Doug, but I'm on a Mac and don't know a thing about PCs. Best of luck. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Well said, Schugger. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

Sarcasm/humor sometimes don't translate well, but given that RMC rated CM a "10," value "9" and did not ever refer to the gameplay of that other game ... I think it's a pretty safe bet that he was just joshing. Given the events of the past weekend, let's not be too quick to jump to conclusions. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 09-04-2000).]

Forget leaving Babra, you need R&R ... take Goanna's advice and git your git back to the cesspool where you're among friends and denizens. Take a taunt at 93-7 Chuppy. That'd brighten anybody's day. ------------------ "Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?" — Oddball "Crap." — Moriarty

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by 109 Gustav: About the only time ramming immobilized tanks is when there is an opportunity for them to vastly improve their LOS within 10 or 20 yards. An example would be if they are on the reverse slope of a hill, with only 10 yards to the top. Once there, they become a pillbox, although also an easy target to KO. Don't waste another tank pushing immobilized ones very far- the pushing tank is much more useful fighting. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Don't waste your time. It doesn't work.
