<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Elijah Meeks: Geier, I dearly hope that some day you can recount the tale of the hacky-sack of Krakow. And I would also be indebted to any fine scenario designer that would recreate such a thing so that I may be utterly annihilated by the aforementioned Old Firm. I picture a massive amount of regular and veteran American troops with low ammo stuck in a city as an unstoppable army of Elite Germans methodically wipe them out. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Twas in the years of your lord 1657 and 1658, look into the books for the rest. To recreate it I suspect CM will fall short as it would constitute a Swedish Army (ie Finns, Germans, Scots and some Swedes) on one side, doing Very Nasty Things to some garrison troops of the Polish-Lithuanian side. It involved horses, artillery, firebombs and fine cutlery. As for hacky-sacking you and everyone close to you in CM, get in ze line. I have been rotten at sending turns lately so first I will have to kill off some of my still-breathing opponents. Marky Mark is next and he will be followed by you. Now bugger off and do something about these buzzing insects.

What a waste of my precious time this has become. Where are the threats? The mindless violence? The evil that lurks in the hearts of hamsters? The ones keeping up the bad work are few and far between indeed. And don't tell me I should "do somefink aboot it" either. I have never been any good at writing stuff, I am only here to beat you all in CM. Check my record if you don't believe me. This is silly so stop whatever it is you're planning to write as I don't give a flying psychotic feck either way anymore . Mace, is it your only purpose in this thread to suck up to Kitty? We don't suck up here, remember? There are other places for that. American football, who cares? I stopped caring about that sport years ago, so can you. (Anyway, the Eagles had their chance way back when they had Randall Cunningham and Reggie White in the team and what did they do? Hire Buddy Ryan as coach. Good job. The sport is so obviously down the drains, I mean the Saints went to the playoffs? The only reason I dug them was because they would never win anything, nor would the Bengals.) And now Meeks is back, hooray. After anchoring just off Newfoundland he watched porno vids for a few months and now he's back. How wonderful. In ongoing graves: Prof Dr Hamster X (whose captives name DOES sound like a sneeze, who woulda thunk Joe Squaw would be right about anyfink?): I really admire this guy, I really do. Playing him is a bit like playing Berli, he's not necessarily out to win, in his case he just likes to blow things up. Whether it's his own things or not does not matter as long as he gets lots of pwetty splosions. Our sick, twisted version of Fertile Ground reminds me of The Hacky Sack of Krakow, one of the Old Firms finer moments. Germanboy: I probably don't have a chance. I dunno if we can talk about this one yet, but he will beat me. Just kidding. He's deader than a doornail. Moriarty: Just started. See above (the deader than a doornail part). Piotr of NZ: I gotta upgrade first. He's dead too.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by tss: I've posted a more-depth analysis earlier, a couple of times, in fact... - Tommi<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yup, I made a search and had missed those posts. Thanks for the info and I might look into the Antti Tuuri novel you mentioned. I was a bit confused when I saw the movie as I had seen Tuuri's name as a script writer but the movie felt very different from Winter War. Too bad that they didn't stay closer to his original script, you remarked that it had been a little hollywoodized and I agree. The portrait of the platoon psychopath is very good though. Anyway, no harm in promoting this film one more time. Johan

They showed it on Swedish telly a few nights ago, I would think the English title would be "Ambush". It is not a new "Winter War" or "Unknown soldier" but more of a love story in the middle of war (The continuation war). It does have several fight scenes AND (more importantly CM wise) a lot of (to me) authentic-looking equipment, uniforms and insignia. Tommi or tero will probably be able to tell you what is right and what is wrong there. The movie is supposed to take place in Far Karelia but I do not know whether it was shot there. Story is pretty basic, platoon is sent behind enemy lines (on bicycles no less) on recon, people die, they try to get back. Script was written by the same author who wrote "A Winter War". Acting is OK, photo beautiful, battle scenes are intense and old school. It also contains some nudity (male and female). Deal with it. I suggest watching it, and if you are planning on making Finnish uniform mods, buying it.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by David Aitken: By the way, The Fall Of The Roman Empire covers similar ground to Gladiator and is a far better movie. =P<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Is not "a far better movie". Even if James Mason is in it. Gladiator is a "Let's make a fantasy hero movie with Romans in it and let Ridley direct it", FOTRP is a "Let's make a Really Really Big Roman Movie Again". In fact, if Eddie Izzard had been cast in Gladiator with his James Mason act, Gladiator would have been a better movie than FOTRP. OTOH, if Robert Shaw had been in FOTRP it would have been a far better movie than Gladiator. It all evens out you see. Ask me, I know these things. And I'm only semi-back, thanks for athskin.

After killing the entire staff of my ISP I have been unable to send any files to any of the Dead Things that I could send files to. This may be rectified in a day or three. Have a lousy next year, my son got a flamethrower for Xmas. Yes, it was originally Ethans fecking flamer and no, he won't be getting it back. Meanwhile offline I'm blissfully recreating my countrys Real History (TbloodyM) using my brilliance and Europa Universalis. Don't go to Denmark during the 16th century. It's full of dead Danes and mean Swedes. Russia is next. Toodle-o Johan P.S Hiram. You suck.

Anyone here who was present at the Third battle of Ypres? Or ”Bloody Wipers” as it was so fondly known at the time? No? Oh well, there was mud you see, for as far as the british eye could see it was mud, mud and two muddy hills. I moved there yesterday and it hadn’t changed at all. Except that it now lay on the west coast of Sweden and there (sadly) were no German artillery observers with love in their eyes staring down from the muddy hills. While Ethan may feign comprehension of what cold, dark and wet means he really doesn’t have a clue. As I stated previously I moved here yesterday and as an omen the Weather God acknowledged my presence with the first full day without precipitation for twelve weeks. Thass raijt folks, twelve bloody weeks. And when the Weather God comes through, he comes through in spades. He blew the air temp down to a whopping –5 centigrade (no wind factor included, which is a bit sissy in a way but you gotta appreciate the effort, dontcha know) which resulted in a frozen muddy landscape from hell. It was beautiful and I took my son out for a stroll in it, scared the locals a bit, robbed the general store and came back just in time for lunch. Lunch incidentally is at about the same time as the sun sets. 17 hours of darkness baby, can you gimme halleluja. Of course you can. I am enjoying myself tremendously and look forward to the day when my son (should he survive this) conquers the world, slaughter the hamsters and ride off with your daughters. Now for my games, as a general rule folks remember that I’m not necessarily beating you thanks to my superior intellect, my finely honed skills or because of my evil nature. The reason I’m beating you is because I’m much much better than all of you put together. Now my ISP has some trouble with giving unto Caesar what Caesar bloody wants so I have not, repeat not, received ANY files that you may have sent me during the last six days. They may be able to rectify this shortly, it really is amazing what you can get done for you if you know what people to kill. But just resend the durn things OK? Yes, I noticed we moved. I thought it fitting since I had to. ------------------ Johan "The succesful execution of a well devised plan often looks like luck to saps." Dashiell Hammett

Swedish Telecom has risen to the challenge and thrashed my phone line. I'm real proud of them. I'm moving this weekend, to a nice little cottage by the sea and will begin plotting Nasty Things immediately. The files I sent out on Sunday seems to have been corrupt (not much new there) and some ppls delicate machinery was unable to handle them. I await your apologies for using such useless hardware. There is a strong possibility that no new corrupt files will be forthcoming until early next week, if I can be bothered I will attempt to send you to your graves even earlier. I loathe, despise and hate you, etc etc. ------------------ Johan "The succesful execution of a well devised plan often looks like luck to saps." Dashiell Hammett

Morons, mac jesuits and idiots: I really don't like you. Really. That said, I suppose some sort of update is in order, but first let me state that any problems regarding my email remains unsolved but I have managed to do unspeakably Nasty Things to people whom I pay to provide this service for me. Why? Because I enjoy it. The update: Prof X: He's destroyed an entire town and is very proud of himself. I must lose this one, shurely. He has an Elite Hetzer btw. Herr Gerbils: The hush-hush scenario. He displays a marvellous lack of tactical ability as per usual. SheepNZ: Apparently thinks it unfair that I have a tank and has gone into hiding. His "uppercut" hasn't hit anything but empty woods so far. Send me a file so I can slaughter your young, rape your horses and ride off with your women, I mean sheep. Sorry. Bored Mr Farty: He is in for a treat, the Hacky Sack of Krakow part 2. Badda-bing badda-bom. The French: Are in big trouble. Indeedy-deedy. It's dark and he's wearing sunglasses. Hit yourself until you are dead, the lot of you. ------------------ Johan "The succesful execution of a well devised plan often looks like luck to saps." Dashiell Hammett

For an example of the O'Reilly web board you can check out: http://webboard.interplay.com:8080/~neverwinter/guests The load this one is forced to work with is ... heavy. Since I'm swedish I refuse to have any opinion but I hope this can be of help. I know the guys responsible for these boards know of several arguments, pro and con, for the O'Reilly board. They've certainly heard all the con, but it seems peope have chilled now. Expect the feces to hit the air cycling equipment when you switch (whatever you choose). Change is bad. For some people anyway. Johan

You are all a bunch of useless bastards and nothing would please me more than to rip out your entrails and knit ugly sweaters of your sinews and then make you wear them. Inside out. All pleasantry aside, I have some issues with my current batch of victims. Goebbelsboy claims he has a life and won't return turns which is fine, at least he told me about it. The Shagger of Sheep has decided that we don't play nice here (bääääh) and apparently I'm not playing nice either cause he stopped sending turns. The French is scared of the dark and doesn't send turns cause he is busy watching bad monster movies and "improving on their scripts". Ethan thinks he's winning and has managed a steady trickle of files. He is busy in Florida during the weekends however and very vague when pressed on the whereabouts of Hoffas body. Moriarty has yet to tell Berli what troops he wants to be killed by me. MarkIV huffs and puffs and claims he looks slimmer now (read readme for 1.1 if you didn't get that one) but has still avoided to send me a setup. Remember baby, I'm your huckleberry slime eel. This all adds up to me having no one to kill. Can't have that can we? Sod off (and send me some files) ------------------ Johan "The succesful execution of a well devised plan often looks like luck to saps." Dashiell Hammett

Englund books that has been translated to Finnish are: Poltava, Ofredsår and Brev från Nollpunkten. If you feel like trying to read in Swedish I suggest you go to www.peterenglund.com and check out the "textarkiv" section. A large portion of his texts can be found there. Among them you can find reviews of Antti Tuuris Vinterkriget and Martin Lönnqvists "Så gick det till - en frontmans dagbok 1939-1944." Saves you the trip to the library I would expect "Den Oövervinnerlige" to be translated as well. Have you checked out Europa Universalis at all btw? I'm looking forward to buying it this weekend. I guess "empress" would fit the bill for the english language version of "czarine". Interesting story too, thanks. Johan

In other ready-made graves: Sheepshagger: I've never seen a more careful (lethargic) attack in my life. Makes Monty look like a Napeolonic general. He's attacking but has waited until turn 17 of 30 to move his main infantry force from the back of the map. The 17 turns has been well spent though, he's decimated an mg with two full turns of fire from a Churchillosomething and, uh, yeah that's about it. My ploy of leaving a flock of sheep in his setup area has proved worthwhile since there can be no doubt about what he has spent his time doing. PawFrenchperson: Night, fog, he's dead. Pancreas: Who knows who cares? A great lovely smiting awaits him. All very hush-hush, mum's the word asf. I'll let rune have a peek from my perspective and let him laugh his pants off at Andreas ineptitude. "EthanI'll tell you where Hoffa is as soon as I'm done in Florida": Boom boom and quite possibly boom. Still waiting to see the results of my Master Plan Mk2, appendix:1a. He's got an elite Hetzer by the way. Moriarty and I has decided to employ Berli to setup a battle of Pure Unadulterated Evil for us. Snow, rain, tanks in the town, infantry outside, boom boom.
