Waoawwwww An impressive work. Thanks for that. BTW, what are the specs of the US Golfing Unit? ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

What a happy fellow you are Dan. Yours is only doing the Alamo on your last objective. But I should say that I do tend to forget those buggers of yours have Panzerfaust. Arghhh. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Is there any fellow US Cpt who's willing to take on the gauntlet? Say, you had been dealt a mere blow with the blunt edge of our might. Seeing as most of my fellow officers won ALLIED MAJOR VICTORY, 1000s of Jabos and King Tigers won't do much except have you fall from higher. BTW, reports from our precious French partisans seem to indicate you test fielded a new Super-Hauptmann, the Von Kelly... We know of your plans. Have a good game and good hunting. PS: One of us actually handicapped himself and 3 other fought against Armor. TREACHEROUS BASTARDS! ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped [This message has been edited by PawBroon (edited 07-13-2000).]

Just like me Geoff. Do I need to remind you we had "started" just one? lol. Shoot some more setup if you feel lonely. Marcel. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

You already had my eMail concerning that. I'm VERY surprised nobody is willing to test that. Come on guys!! ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Tried it as well. Even if the first visual feeling is nice, the overall effect tends to be fuzzy. I had a View5 screen shot with the MDMP1 and this mods and with the new grass the 81mm craters around the AI's Stug are not visible. All in all, it is a good job and is worth downloading (ADSL, T1... ) but if you have a slow modem, be sure to ask for screen shots to validate your need. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Cpt Elvis, Congratulation... I had an Allied Major Victory too at Turn 14. To be HONEST, and after reading your AARs, I was pretty much certain I would be Sniperscoped by the AI. Had a full 10 turns of HELL. I had been saved by a M8HMC and a Greyhound. Boy that one was close, but once Hauptmann AI was armor-less and gun-less it was just a matter of mopping up the map. As you said Sniper, the element of being a part of a whole and the willingness to play like a "gentleman" sure put some pressure on your shoulders. Since I have CM, it was the longest 14 turns I've played. Cpt Vie. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

So now I know they are there. But maybe they are not being merely hygienic, could they be surrendering? Say Berlichtigen, if they do manage to flag underwear to my troops then I'll give you this one as an honorary win... ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Do you fancy a special tune for your song? Boy, I'm enjoying this Forum as much as the game. My Free French might be defeated but you'll need troops to do that Berlichtigen. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Berlichtigen, you are one gutsy bastard in a forum. Care to bet our PBEM is going to end the way yours did with Darwin and Fionn? In under 10 minutes, my Free French are going to toast their victory with the schnaps of your dead soldiers canteens... And someday I'm going to make a song of your fable Turn 2 and 3 mails... You are refreshing. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

In my last Assault I had a good 900Pts over the limit. See? I hope the guy playing you doesn't feel hurt by your post or you'll be REALLY assaulted. Assault IS challenging. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Buckeye: Was the game set up as an Assault? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> LOL That one was posted at the same time. You beat me by the seconds. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Maybe the guy chosed Assault and had more points to spend than you? ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Looks very pro indeed. If you are into French people I'll step in. PS: I'll bring wine. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Berlichtingen: I sacrificed that Jagdtiger to lure his PIAT team out from hiding <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Talk about trade off. Dan I'm glad you sent me a Setup. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped [This message has been edited by PawBroon (edited 07-09-2000).]

Boy I love your style. You don't take prisonner... I guess Berlichtingen shouldn't have brag about is early turns. And NOW we will see scores of web pages illustrating public CM humiliation. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

I'm waiting for your setup. I'll take anything as long as it's a double blind. I've played mostly QB so if you want we can go for a scenario. marcel.vie@wanadoo.fr ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped [This message has been edited by PawBroon (edited 07-09-2000).]

In any case, that famous pic was from Northern Africa... I guess you will have to wait for a CM3 to have a perfect match. Or maybe we can crank up a MODS so that the Brits are wearing Boxer shorts in Normandy? ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

If your into Snipers and want to be in the mood for CM2, go and get this one (War of the Rats): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/055358135X/qid=963124235/sr=1-2/103-5067355-7919061 Now don't go and buy snipers by the bucket, since one day I mught play with you... ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped [This message has been edited by PawBroon (edited 07-09-2000).]

I've found Quad Flak of the like of Wiberlwind and such very useful in this case. Shreds the buggers apart in fact. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

That's right. Snipers ARE useful if you use them the way you're supposed to do. Just like most of the rest in CM by the way... I just had two of those german snipers in a Quick Battle while defending against a fierce Canadian onslaught. I used them just for a very few chosen targets. Same as SuperTanker said. If you are to target mere squads, then go for a LMG any time. But my snipers had singlehandedly killed the FOs and 2 Platoons HQs and then they started suppressing the 2inches mortars when the Allies surrendered. Axis Major Victory. No Off-board arty, fewer LTs, that is the sure path to tip the balance in your favour. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Just a thought. Have you considered that every time someone post about something being ridiculously cheap compared to its efficiency (or its gamey use BTW) BTS is patching it up for the 1.03? What is it you want? A 700Pts Swiss Army knife? Boy, more expensive every thing... Why don't you try to get to know the people you play with and agree beforehand on some TOE? You're right, being overwhelmed by Hummers, Pumas, T8s, Puppchens and all is both GAMEY and bloody frustrating. But having the cost upped won't discourage those players to PBEM you with ahistorical forces and then brag about their victory... ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Glad someone seems to agree with my above post. And a lawyer nonetheless. Speaking of which, have we Mirandized CCJ properly by the way? ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped

Might be difficult for a 14 year old talented kid to behave like a grown up if we are not even behaving like adults. For what I know the poor kid might be lurking in this forum because he is fearing to post anything in case some of us tear him apart... Come on. He is a kid. What he did was stupid. And for what its worth, being a cast-away and having wrecked his chance to be in the CM2 beta testing team is enough a punishment for that. Can't you see? Not only did he have broken his toy but you are yelling at him that he won't ever have another one to boot. If we want to hold the Moral High Ground try not to be bitter adults and show some mercy. PS: ColCoolJ, if your lurking here, try to be a wee bit adult and apologize for our censors' sake and maybe those will try to be a lil' less childish and be done after a spanking. ------------------ Either he's dead or my watch has stopped [This message has been edited by PawBroon (edited 07-08-2000).]
