It's hot, and it's dry. That's nice when you're in the desert, but it ain't no good when you're with a woman. One little sand dune, and all the Olde Ones break out in a choir. At least the donkey is recognizable. /SirReal

Whaaaat!! You can't leave us hanging like that! You will immediately concentrate all of your waking hours on that game until the AAR is complete!

Although I'm delighted to be the object of such passion, I'm somewhat hesitant to be someone that has an effect on your colon. /SirReal

Tyvärr har jag ingen bil, och då jag bor i Stockholm är det lite långt till skåne. Men Seanachai, eller Seanacoochie som han oxo kallas för, har ju ingenting med det att göra. Eller MBT:n, för den sakens skull. /SirReal

Right. That's what I meant. So stop quibbling! Oooh, good one! I'll put that one in my special box of grog insults. /SirReal

Ah, yes. That's assuming that not everyone that elects to play as the germans in CM:BB won't purchase Tigers until his Armor points run out. I'd say that's a valid assumption for the most part. Not. =) Also, I should note that 120mm+ artillery should be effective against heavy armor, not just Pz38, T-34 and the like. Try putting X points of Tigers in a close formation, and then dropping X points of arty on them. Assuming that you're playing a someone who will park his tanks in a close formation on your TRP, and that all your arty spotters are conscript (since you know he's going to park on the TRP, why not), and finally that he won't move the tanks out of the arty fire. Then yes. You're right. You can almost always kill as many points worth of tanks as you bought arty for. Of course, if the cunning bugger actually has his tanks move in combat formations, or, god forbid, won't park in the middle of an artillery barrage, then no. It's not worth it. At least not in the tests I've conducted. /SirReal

....you are the biggest twit to ever be spawned in the Kingdom of Sweden. DONT YOU OWE ME A TURN? I know I have completely demolished two or three companys of your Russian Armor, and I am now mopping up the nakedly exposed infantry like spilled soup, but its only battle number one. I am sure there will be more T-34s for my Panzers to turn into scrap. Get with it laddie, you know you want to. </font>

Undoubtedly. You want a list of all the people I've received turns from without commentary? Careful... you might be on that list, old man. Of course I do. I'm a knight now, so you can just go stuff those treats where the sun doesn't shine. Try fooling some of the small raccoons around your garbage, they're not too bright. Wait, you said entreaties. Oh. Anyhoo, I posted some commentary on the board. A thread or two back. Including a reference to our so-called wargame. (I usually don't consider playing hide-and-seek with squirrels a wargame). Why don't you spend some of your retirement boredom by looking up that post, and then basking in the intelligence and witticisms contained therein? Oh, all right. Just to get you to stop nagging. Nag. Nag. Nag. That's all you ever do. Nag. /SirReal

Not at all. I've heard that hunting heavy tanks with 120mm mortars was done successfully. But pounding Tigers (for example) with 120mm and up usually does nothing in CM:BB. I think it should produce a lot more immobilizations and perhaps even some gun hits, but it rarely does. Currently, dropping heavy arty on armor is a waste of good arty in CM:BB. /SirReal [ October 06, 2003, 06:46 AM: Message edited by: SirReal ]

Bah, weak-chinned, blubbery, german-playing piss-pants, the lot of you. Going crying home to mama over two measly KV's? Not only do you have effective weapons (88:s), you can also flank it to kill it with your tanks. Now whatever you do, don't EVER play as the russians. You'll face Tigers. In late '42. And nothing except the easy-killed, horrendously expensive, slow-loading, can't hit a barn from the inside SU-152 can even hope to hurt a Tiger. From ANY aspect! Oh. Wait. This isn't the MBT. Sorry about that. /SirReal

Already am.

PondScum, I'd just like to take this opportunity to point out that you're both ugly and evil. Now, please stop sending me all those Microsnot patches via mail. I'm quite capable of using Windoze Update. /SirReal

That comment sounds like it would be better applied to Hiram. In other news. Boo Radley just finished beating his brains out on my forward picket lines while my MLR finished their breakfast. NG Cavscout is off gallivanting around trying to please his new masters and his wife, instead of sending me a turn. I have no idea what game we're playing anymore. Lt Hortlund is more or less crossed out in my address book, that traitor of the people simply doesn't return moves. Joe Shaw, überbastiche of the gnomes, still hasn't figured out which part of the woods he's in. No matter, I'll find him sooner or later. Lurkur is too busy picking lint out of his ears to be sending turns. Who knows what we were doing before his brain started leaking. Mace, while holding his Tigers back in petrified fear of my pencil-sharpener armed Red Horde accountants, still hasn't caught on to the fact that hugging edges is gamey even if you have so many troops they fill the entire map. Nidan1 and I mutually headbanged each other, but both forgot that it's supposed to be the forehead, not the nose, that's supposed to impact. Ouch. Now sod off. /SirReal

Do you really feel comfortable posting that where the FBI could read it? /SirReal

I knew those leg-clinging SSNs were up to no good. Better go see a doc, Mace. You never know where they've been before. /SirReal

You are all food for cyclones, you rabid chompers of discarded diapers. Mwuahahaa! I look forward to seeing your tearstreaked, muddied faces on CNN within a week or so, and oh, how I will laugh! But what's up with all these SSNs? I can hardly take two steps here without stepping in one. Disgusting. Who brought this plague of decreptitude upon the purity of the MBT?! Seanachaiii! It's YOUR garbage! You brought it in, you put it out! /SirReal

Turns are out. If you think I owe you a turn, flip a coin. Heads, and you haven't got any and is therefore too much of a pushover, tails, you're turning it and you just ain't worth the bother. /SirReal

Quite right, but it occurs to me that the number of SSN's and Squires is fairly low. How does the 'pool handle such a situation, besides the obvious step of hurling derision at the poor sod? When I had the fortune of being recognized as a SSN, there were no other SSN's or squires around, I had to thump Sir Nidan1 around quite a few times before he relented. I would guess that the poor outboarder has it's work cut out for it, trying to bash a game out of Boo. Not that getting a game out of Boo is something to be proud of. It's like getting waste products out of a seagull. /SirReal

Well, good news! I hear sales are picking up in england since the taxi drivers' union decided to hold an XC90 caravan assembly in Kent! And we all know, can't get closer to the 11:th circle than Kent. /SirReal

Due to a sudden downpour of work, I have suspended CM:BB for a short while. I'll resume as soon as I'm done flipping these burgers. Er. Resolving this unexplained crash in a POS application, I mean. /SirReal

You can't hit what you can't see, and if you're not seen you won't be hit. WW2 tanks have very poor observation, and are very easy to see. Which is why you're supposed to support the tanks with infantry (or vice versa). /SirReal

No, because that would be a Sybil War. </font>
