the borg arent real!? my illusions have been shattered,of course the borg are real theirs 2 of them on this board. tut tut pat next youll be saying elijahs not real

went to your site,their is a comabat mission link but when clicking it,it comes up page not found?p.s its friday here [This message has been edited by ironcross (edited 09-08-2000).]

just keep the map as it is,set it up for single player mode,victory flag on embankment after the bridge. a couple for the houses either side and one say half way down. it really is an excellent map youve done.

how do you define elitism in a squad? if we take it say 4 men have seen combat and the rest none, are they(the elite) going to spend their time imparting the finer points of surviving in a battle,or are they going to just try to stay alive. Are the green guys going to spend their time watching the elite guys or are they going to learn the hard way. this is what happened throughout the war (and other wars) the veterans\elite carried on learning,using their skills for themselves. The green guys only learnt the hard way.Its a sad fact that only the switched on green guys survived to become veterans. It makes no difference to a unit at the point of attack, elite guys hide,take cover this is how they have survived by letting others take the risks. green guys do what appear risky things because they know no better,if they live they become craftier,learn how to let others do the risky things. an elite unit may appear to be more cowardly than a green unit.However veterans and elite troops have survived by taking less chances,by knowing when to advance/retreat,even when to totally ignore their foe. Elite and for that matter veteran does not mean they are super soldiers,so on the cm battlefront if your elite soldiers do not do what you want/think they should do,dont get mad thats how they have survived for so long ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I learnt to survive the war by letting others take the front,let some other fool die for his country..... marine 1969 2 tours vietnam now police sgt.

what we testing? --------------------------------------------- only fools and hamsters work

mad-poodle sounds okay to me

im at the moment doing the final battle in team yankee,just trying to work out forces and victory markers,the battles in this book do lend themselves to ww11,except for atgm substitute bazookas,hinds for air support hamsters for well hamsters ............................................. long live hammy,for he is the king

I want that girl ,who cares about sudden watsit send me the girl!!! --------------------------------------------- the only good gerbils a dead one..hla saying (hamster liberation army)

one of the last times they had a big parade was just before they invaded afgahnistan,they paraded 2 battalions who went on to join their respective divisions.Estonia is upsetting russia some, the war in cheyna is still going on. Or it could be a farewell parade to the president --------------------------------------------- we march into the future 1st iron hamster battalion

Thanks all i need to do is get my scanner working,im also a friend of the airborne museum (you can join at their website).Im going with some veterans should make interesting listening.Ive never been able to remain emotionable at the military graveyards especally at some like menin gate or tyne cot.anyway ill try to get what i can any spare stuff like leaflets etc ill get and if you want ill send snail mail.# ............................................ hamsters on dutch tobacco (high hamster)

Well that did,nt last long did it, seeing im back,just like to thank one or two of you for the emails,the rest for the posts also my wife for saying ,she thought she had married a rough tough squaddie all those years ago,not a jessie .(bl...y hell,sounds like an oscar speech) So me and my Hamsters are back,this time focusing on world domination,crushing the gerbil mafia and converting elijah to all things british --------------------------------------------- okay it aint a hamster,you try n find one

for you i,ll finish this thread .IM going to Arnhem a week on thursday for the memorial weekend,my first visit there,i got a lot of stuff from the public records office in london,stuff like the staffs reports which havent been published,some good pictures which show how up n down Arnhem really is. This op thing is bugging me,id like this no mans land thing to be removed,i know this would effect reinforcments but their should be a variable system allowing placement of reinforcments ............................

id like to thank all at bts for the game they have produced for us to enjoy, to madmatt and fionn for the mod packs etcetera.To all you guys with your excellent mods,scenarios and operations. Ive been a lurker/poster from the beta days seen the flame wars,had my own arguments and generally had a laugh with you hamsters.However this past few days even though its resolved (i pray) has left me with a sour taste . i didnt want to get involved however a recent post has left me wondering if we all shouldnt call it a day on this board. To be accused of being in the same league as our departed Jp has finally finished me. Originally posted by mfred: The people accusing PIEPER, are acting in the same manner they are objecting too. So, what you accuse PIEPER off, tells us more about you than PIEPER. Ive left my views on that link,but too you alte kamerad goodbye --------------------------------------------- All hamsters have packed their bags and gone

I wasnt going to get involved in this again,however the comments of mfred have done it for me Originally posted by mfred: The people accusing PIEPER, are acting in the same manner they are objecting too. So, what you accuse PIEPER off, tells us more about you than PIEPER. ------------------------------------------ excuse me so im in the same league as someone who goes on about gassing people, puts up pics of a woman and child being shot,pictures of a death camp!!!!!!!!!. Without being over the top i see your a austrailian are you his father? get real cobber. .............................................

i know that this has been raised before, but the way the computer draws up the lines after a battle ,is well for me the biggest glitch.Ive been playing various operations and no matter how i do seem to be losing ground steadily. In the case of the arnhem14 operation (great map) i completly routed any german holding forces and got shoved into one hell of a tiny position Infact i ended up with less than i captured and my forces where crammed in tight. Is this going to changed, can i change it? ID rather that and im no computer expert that the AI drew a line around my forces at the end of the battle. Just the only thing thats spoiling for me a great (ok the best) game going .............................................

we did we stopped the gerbils in summat or other,whats up with boxing day,besides the hangover and uneaten 120lb turkey -------------

dancing hamsters are not to blame!!! Its them damn biker gerbils on cheese ............................................. i,ve seen the cesspool and its grim

well another quiet day at the office, just like to thank you americans for cheering me up by being on holiday, you play cm,im at work.sheesh roll on the weekend. ............................................. this notice is a pathetic attempt at returning sanity post )

football? dont you guys use your hands more, now come here play rugby ,whats all that padding for?.play rugby,no armour. no stopping,. ............................................. lets shake hands,want my foot?..rolling rock

hamster sex is at www.hamsters-are-us.com just dont open the hamsters in leather site, u ever seen a syrian hamster in bondage? yuck --------------------------------------------- no hamsters were harmed in making this post

sure it aint capt mainwaring and cpl jones up there? ............................................. they dont like it up em

i must admit that im an arnhem buff as they say, im off there in a couple of weeks, now the operation arnhem 14 is good but one thing still gets me is, after finishing the battle no matter how much of arnhem ive taken i get forced into a tiny enclave. i have a photo of the railway cuttings near the museum where the south staffs got forced back. this cutting is rather deep and wide, also a lot of trees in the area. the road from arnhem runs downhill towards oosterbeek, it then joins another road running uphill from the river. 1 para approached along this road and received hvy fire from the embankment/slope overlooking the river,they also came under fire from across the river. if i can get my scanner working i,ll send you some pics, i got them from the public records office here in uk. Also the reports by the south staffs SORT OF SPOILER . . . . . . . so far in 3 days of battle after inital routing of german blocking force i have come up against 1 squad and 3 halftracks?. 2 halftracks do not move and the other suicidally attacked me. thats fine, i dont mind that what i do mind is being forced back and lossing 4-5 city blocks for no reason. is there anyway of altering this???can u decrease the no mans land? .............................................

id like to see all of them in hi-res, your doing a great job!. --------------------------------------------- onwards and upwards

that thing thats dangling in the middle is a hamster ill tell you!!!

with your screen name lol a lot
