No doubt I belong in this group. "standing up" Hello everyone, my name is sniperscope, and I'm a very happy CM addict. sniperscope

hahahahaha "Welcome pod person" that was great. sniperscope

Join us, be part of our collective. sniperscope

Thats Mat; I will be checking out Buchholz Station tonight. sniperscope

hmmm not sure about that. Case in point play an ASSAULT, allied attacker, farmland, small hills, dawn/dusk, sept.44. 800 points. You play the Germans. Then see if you still feel that way. sniperscope

I have played the Wiltz twice and still lost. I refuse to read any spoilers on it unitl I find a way to win. At least half the fun is now in the planning of the attack. This small scenario is one of the ones I have enjoyed the most. sniperscope

Thank You for your insults Peterk. I will repeating them to our German forces at our next briefing. If the German high command releases us just a few Tigers. I think we will be able to get your attention. Sniperscope

I have been trying for some time to add my name to your meta list. Keep getting a lockup. Anyway if it's not to late please add me to the ****** side. Thanks sniperscope Update: Sorry guys, I really messed up on this one. I took out which side I am requesting to be on. Also,in case anybody demands it, I have a blindfold and a Cig. ready. Just tell me where you want me to stand. [This message has been edited by sniperscope (edited 07-13-2000).]

I second that. Except that I got my ass whipped by the amis ai. Thank you Turret, as this has been the most fun I have ever had in a war game. The added stress of HAVING to win has added to the fun element of this already great game. I cant wait for Mondays briefing. sniperscope

Milo: for a quick answer, 99 percent have ordered through here. The rest mailed a check. I had no problems ordering online. sniperscope

DAM!! John that was the best post I have ever read on this forum. I hope all newbies read this. Dam good post. sniperscope

Welcome to our collective. sniperscope

Wild Bill: hahahahaha SS Peiper asked me this morning if you were our dad?? sniperscope

Ok Echo, I will send the file tonight. sniperscope

Wild Bill: I am going to have to take my little brother to school on street fighting. SS Peiper is going down for the count. sniperscope

Thanks Bill, but I am having a problem. Just how can I do a quick battle using a map of my choose? Is this possible? The battle maker does not ask if I want to use a specific map. Is there a way around this? sniperscope

Hey Bill, what scenario has the map posted on your site? The one with the bridges leading to a small city or town. That map looks great. Also a quick question. Is it possible to do a quick battle but pick the map you want used? Thanks again. sniperscope P.S. I have a showdown for friday night via icq with SS Peiper regarding that scenario you sent me for testing. I will submit our findings upon the conclusion of the game.

Hey Wild Bill. SS Peiper is my brother, please send me the scenario also. I will play test it as a PBEM with him. We have been war gaming against each other for years. sniperscope

Elvis: You hit it right on the head. Everybody has to play honest. Otherwise whats the point in playing? sniperscope

no, the game's pace is set by James H Barry. He is the Meta game master. He gives us our orders. ****loads of fun. sniperscope

Hell yeah they are going to take hits. sniperscope

To all who read this topic: I cannot express just how much fun this meta game system is. The game puts the additional presure (if you play honestly) on you at the tactical level. Setup is everything. A day later I am still thinking about what could of, should of etc.etc I have done. This game is tops. I am now awaiting orders for my next battle. sniperscope

allies had 10 percent more plus they were the attacker. hmmm now I had better report that back to James. Maybe the setup was wrong. But man was it fun. Thanks for pointing that out. sniperscope

Operation Venom: First game of James H. Barry’s small meta game. 20 turns, Wehmacht, med. Quality, 800 points, Weather clear, farmland, day, mod trees and of course full FOW Turn 1, the battle begins with PSW234/1 and a halftrack exchange fire. The PSW234/1 knocks out the halftrack. The PSW234/1 then begins to exchange fire with a Hellcat. Big mistake. The PSW234/1 goes up in smoke. Turn 6, the battle does not go well for me. Lost my only STG3, 1 50mm AT gun and 1 105 howz. Plus I made the mistake of placing my 1 AT team in the wrong spot. Now I have to try and sneak him over. **** my men are dying everywhere. Turn 10, it seems as if the amis are falling out of the sky. There are so many. To my left flank I have a platoon lead by Lt. Peric in hiding. Advancing on them are 2 Amis platoons and 4 halftracks. In my center area the Amis have dropped heavy smoke and are advancing. My boys are dying while the furor sits in his nice warm house having coffee with his whore. Turn 14, Lt. Peric has been killed. His platoon has ether been killed or captured. The men forth bravely against overwhelming odds inflicting many casualties. With 6 turns to go there is no way I can win. To many Amis are still in the field. My 1 AT is trying to get a shot at that Hellcat. Turn 15. For the first time in my war game life I have surrendered to the AI. The following are the final stats: Allied Attacker: 115 casualties (28) KIA 2 Mortars knocked out 2 veh. Knocked out Men ok 280 Score 80 Axis Defender: 78 casualties (20) KIA 56 captured 2 guns destroyed 2 veh. Knocked out Men ok 0 Score 20 Axis surrender, Allied major victory sniperscope
