All your poolers are belong to us.

well Maximus, I don't really like to use Yahoo for mail. But I do use it to access my pop account from work. So it has its place.

Used Yahoo quite a bit early on. I have no problems at all with it and .txt or .zip files. Lorak ------------------ "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking."--William Butler Yeats Cesspool Combatmissionclub and for Kitty's sake =^..^=

Kitty, Please do not try to understand the Hamster. He is totally insane, and trying to read meaning into his post will only cause you to follow suit.

Ahh, a brief Tome update for the unwashed masses. VS-win Croda-loss Kitty-win Berli-loss Berli-win GiTom-loss OGSF-win Seanachai-loss Lorak-win Germanboy-loss I guess I could use this space to gloat over my victory... but the scenario was so lopsided it would be pointless.

Lorak gives a "Job well done !" to Kitty. Oh and how I revel in the joy at observing the hell that Kitty has unleashed on the unwashed and unprepared masses.

Tome update: Crisl-win Lawdog-loss Game updates: Moriarty... his men decided to crowd a house in the deep night fog... my FT decided he wanted Bar-B-Que for dinner. Germanboy... Game is about over, Littered Allied AFV's, and my german AT guns are all over the place. Will he exit enough units to rescue the para's? Only time will tell. Iskander... Pool table map, little cover, he is pouring smoke everywhere. He must be on of Berli's love children. GiTom... Shooting has just started to heat up in this one. Too close to give odds, but I'm sure I can still manage a loss. Hakko...His men seemed to have stopped moving and have sat down for a cuppa. A couple of other games going, but none worth the pools notice or time.

Attack our side of the hill? You have got to be kidding. Even trolls aren't stupid enough to try and wade uphill through rivers of cess. No they march like the idiots they are into your craters and wire.

Nope, not a bug. Map edges are real dangerous. Same as if the squad got fired at, they can really easy run of the map edge.

Bah.... We see all...we know all.. (at least we like to think so ) So sit down, take in the view and belly up for another Guinness. Or if you need some R&R come over to our side of the hill (we were smart enough to set up on the reverse slope) and enjoy or new Officers club and enjoy the live bands and gaming tables or if your a junior the enlisted club. (I hear the enlisted club might even have electricity by the time CM2 roles out).

Ahh, Thanks for all your hard work Kitty. Sounds like you need someone to stand you up a Guinness or two. Come by Maggie O'Rileys Irish Pup tonight about midnight. T'would be my pleasure.

Ahh you festering gits, Nice to see you again. Tome update: Elvis-win Peng-loss Wildman-win GiTom-loss Seanachai, I am disrespecting you? My god man! That is almost a compliment in the pool. Sadly It is true that Several of you have challenged me to games as of late. (Yes, I still owe the Bard a beating). I've had several games outside of the pool pop-up lately and as I get some of those resolved, I be happy to wing some death your way.

21 but if you take into account that the peng thread exploded after 2000 post. and I am sure there are more than 2000 members... this is a moot pole. Lorak

Good Lord ! Stuka in the finals? I guess 2001 is the end of the world as we know it. Lorak

Jason, I understand your point about the AI needing the flags to move on. But for H2H games it really adds a lot to the battle. Also in operations There aren't any flags. So I guess it could be tried as the AI defending with no flags. As playing the AI as defense is the best option anyway. It was just an idea I was throwing out. But if you have a third party design maps for some of your games with other people... have them make a nice ME with no flags. I think you'll enjoy it.

First: I think Jshandorf has a point. Second :For Cavscouts uber german player ego. I'm sure we would want it modeled if a churchhill ran into a kubelwagon too. But Jeep is easy to use. Third: Having been in convoys at night. I can assure you that wrecks happen, and guess what!? they knew people were in front and behind them. Hitting things in bad visibilty is just natural. I would like one of you to go out during the next night in heavy fog. and drive around with no headlights. (hint the euopean country side didn't have steet lamps. Forth: I think the jeep/wagon being abandoned or even a half-track should be a possibility. NOT a given. Maybe have it do a bog/immobilized check like a tank in mud or damp ground. Just my .02 Lorak ------------------ "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking."--William Butler Yeats Cesspool Combatmissionclub and for Kitty's sake =^..^=

Since there are some designers here. I thought I'd throw out some of my experiences. First I agree that a 100% exit demand is unrealistic. Designers should give the attacker some fodder, knowing that the 100% is impossible. Second, Why are not more people designing scenarios with no flags? I have PBEM's about three like this so far. These have to be designed more from a meeting engagment. But this adds a hell of a lot to the game. It makes both players play the terrain and each other. Not worry about VL's or some other arbitary location. So in these games, with a smal village or two, some hills ect... You have no push to head to a location. so forces tend to meet like they would have historically. Just a thought.

Newcastle? While I'll admit It is a decent tasting beer. I can't bring my irish arse to drink the pommie stuff. Now running a special on Guinness.

Hey that lens effect looks really good. Any Idea when you might provide a link to the full size version and not the thumbnail? The tumbnail just doesn't look good stretched. **edited because I am an idiot. Didn't read where the wall paper was with the splash screen** Thanks Lorak ------------------ "Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking."--William Butler Yeats Cesspool Combatmissionclub and for Kitty's sake =^..^= [This message has been edited by Lorak (edited 02-27-2001).]
