It all boils down to the first rule of warfare: Some days you eats the bear; some days the bear eats you. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

done. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

Chickenhawk, don't be put off of the game because of some of the posts on the board. As was mentioned, this is a community that has a passion for gaming and historical accuracy. Sometimes that passion overflows, but in the vast majority of instances discussions and debates are conducted fairly, honestly and openly. Another big benefit to this board is that you can communicate directly with the guys who designed, redesigned, tested and retested this game — and they'll answer your concerns directly. Download the demo. You won't be sorry and I'd be willing to bet your order goes in soon. Welcome aboard. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

The "hide" command works to a degree based upon the level of experience and the proximity to C&C. The better the troops and if they are under C&C, the more likely they'll hold their fire. But, even with good experience, if the enemy wanders into a good kill zone, they might well open fire. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

Please post one more time with a string of smilies at the bottom. Think of it as bait. Mix 'em up. He likes that. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

Darwin, that was priceless. You have captured the essence of our little pal. Hey, Peng, you've only been waxed by him four times? Try 0-for-eternity. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

"Lili Marlene" does add a certain historical flair ... but I'm partial to the "Panzerlied" And, "Burning Bridges" is a classic. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

Lorak, Give me a shout when a slot opens in your schedule. I'll play any scenario or DYO, any side, ladder or not, computer pick or pick your own. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Berlichtingen: And we can't have that. So, with that in mind... Moriarty, I have to hand it to you. You keep striving against insurmountable odds. I would think that its a bit like pounding your head against a wall, but in your case, no worries about damage. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Firstly, surrender is not an option for paratroopers behind the lines of an enema such as you, sir. With no resupply or reinforcements possible you will just have to chase them down or wait for the AI. Secondly, I shake my private parts at you, English pig-dog. ------------------ K.I.T.D. F.O.H.S.

... and if you had to rely on Bill Gates and his ill-conceived crap ... er, software ... you wouldn't have CM to play at all. sorry, couldn't pass this one up. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley

Love the new sig, Peng. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley

Ausgezeichnet! (hope that's right, been a long time since high-school German, hehe). Glad to hear our CM comrades in Germany are getting their copies. Happy hunting. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 06-29-2000).]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Berlichtingen: Now you are in trouble Moriarty. The only victories Goanna has ever gotten is when he lets his wife play for him.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I know that. Between Goanna, G-son and G-mama, I never know who's beating the tar outa me. Sheesh. Bring her on ... someday I'll win. Until then, think of how good she'll look on the ladder playing me. Hehe. It's gotta be rough on him, though, being at work all day, wondering when the game is going to show up, wondering in the back of his mind if G-son and G-mama already have gotten it from the mailbox and are playing while he toils away. ------------------ We are both men of action.

Thumpre: Yep, both my e-mails to you – the one in response to FOW and the turn – both came back. Recieved your e-mail and have sent the turn. Goanna: I phlegm in your gen-er-al direction, Frenchy. You got game yet? Ya want infantry, tanks, both? You want me to pick one and send setup? You want Bosche or something more European? Name it. I'm game. hehe ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley

If we were independently wealthy, wouldn't a beer-sampling/spirits tour of the world (with CM on high-powered laptops, of course) be a wonderful thing? Perhaps, MrPeng would be tour leader. Ahhh, the possibilities are endless. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 06-27-2000).]

Crawling also is a more physically demanding movement ... your units will tire more quickly than in sneak mode. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley

Heartiest congratulations, Steve and Charles. Your success is well deserved. My thanks also go to all those who helped test the game, made suggestions to improve it and helped spread the word. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Germanboy: Ethan - this is getting scary. Apart from the statement about Guiness in England, I would just sign off on what you wrote with no change. You can only drink Guiness in Ireland, preferably on the west coast. Those Dubliners have gone the way of the English when it comes to getting it into the glass. Sapporo Super Dry? Is that new? Methinks you mean either Asahi Super Dry or Sapporo Black Label (both of which are based on German recipes, BTW) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, mebbe you can or will only drink Guinness in Eire, but as for me I'll drink it wherever and whenever I can. ------------------ We are both men of action.

Degrees of Frost, I can say from bitter experience in the gold demo that not lifting a 105mm barrage at the right time can cut a relief force of 30 to 14 in one turn. Goanna can verify my stupidity. ------------------ We are both men of action. Lies do not become us. — Westley [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 06-23-2000).]
