Well, at least you're an improvement over AussieJeff, and speedy, and Dalem except for on Thursdays and Eucharist, Hiram, Lars, other assorted nobodies... Gah, makes me want to brick myself.

Oh, I see you're still here, speedy...

Absolutely right, I like to look at the theoretical, there's always the formal questions of how. I'd love to list a bunch of cool, simple advances that I'd thunk up, but I don't have any and, really, it'd be disingenuous for me to list any because I don't want BTS to change anything, I just wonder if they should. Odd distinction, I know, and maybe that's too abstract to mess with...

You!! I don't know who you are but I'm not going to acknowledge you until you develop a frontal lobe. And don't think this is acknowledgement, you pupal simpleton, this is just autonomic response.

Shut up you rat ninny! And when did you become such a puss-burger?! And what kind of mealy-mouthed reply on great moral issues is (Read following in puss-burger voice) "I don't think they're relevent... It would make CM a different game" Why aren't they relevant you numbskull?!?! What would be different about it, horsemonkey?!?!! Don't look at me like that, those are real frickin' questions, answer 'em! Christ, if Socrates had to deal with facile, pencil-pushing, big-eared, losers like you, he wouldn'ta drank hemlock, he'da just grabbeda steamroller and dialectized your sorry ass.

Michael, you've mistaken my position, I don't want to turn people off of war, far from it, I think the actions of men in combat have been, apart from certain pieces of poetry (I thought Sassoon was a brand of hair products), philosophy and art, the highest point of human achievement. I'm struck by the question, is all, and with it the definition of realism and the delineation, as if 'impedimenta' never had anything to do with decision-making at the tactical level. One might argue that what makes the Medal of Honor so important, the goings-on that relate to it so pungeant and its recipients so special, is their very humanity in inhumane situations. I am at a loss, however, as to how you can discuss a Medal of Honor winner without discussing his exploits, which are necessarily valor in combat above and beyond the call of duty, which to my knowledge always involves blood and guts. I'm asking the question without having an answer myself, I don't know if it's right to reduce war to simple tactical decisions, after all isn't one of CM's best features its morale model? Isn't that model an abstraction of the human element of war? I also know CM is a game, not an educational tool nor a piece of literature, and how fun would it be to see the senseless death of innocent livestock? I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, but I do know the answer's not so pat.

Does BTS have any obligation to represent the moral aspects of war? First a disclaimer, this is a question and not a request, I neither expect nor want BTS to spend any time working on it, it just popped into my head and, I think, relates to the world at large. I hate qualifying, it takes forever and ruins meter, but I feel that I have to because I know how grogs act when they smell off-topic posts. This does relate directly to Combat Mission, it is, after all, the most accurate representation of squad-level combat, likely in existence, definitely in the realm of popular culture, and yet there's no blood, there're no civilians, no livestock (Excepting the occasional cow-tree mod), as if we were looking at the WWII suburb of Valhalla, a detached war, with no world. Again, I'm not advocating that BTS spend time on these things, and I sure as hell don't want to evoke inumerable, "If it delays CMBB by a day, then forget it" posts, I just want to know if this rings true with anyone else, or if it's merely the odd fancy of an odd guy.

I hadn't planned on it, I'm an academic now (Cursed job market) and it limits my available time, wait a minute, no it doesn't, I've got my more free time than An San Su Kee (How's that for Godzilla-sized phonetic butchering?). Wait, there's my burgeoning writing (A novel and a dozen short stories, a treatise on philosophy, an essay on cetacean intelligence, transcription of some of Anais Nin's unpublished letters, unpublished, though I'm sure as soon as they see my massive intellect, this shall all change) but you know, I feel the only reason I can hack out a decent sentence is because of the Cesspool (I'll make sure and dedicate my first poem to you guys) so maybe I should stick around, in a purely metaphorical role, of course, I still have no desire to play CM, or any video games for some reason (Hmmm, maybe it was that fateful trip to the temple of Eloisis...) so I'm afraid all I can offer is alliteration, assaninity, abuse, aardvark antiheroes and almost any available attack against Andreas. Whaddya say?

I'm glad I came back to read this because, you know, this reminds me of something, I never liked pathetic things, why do you ask^? Because they're not having any fun. I saw a three-legged pooch today, no this isn't a Croda's mom joke, just a little dog, like Westy or something, I don't know dogs, so sue me, and this little bundle of fur wasn't lying there, sniffling, pining away over its lost leg,^^ no, it was bouncing around, occasionally toppling over like an ubiquitous drunken munchkin, enjoying life. It reminds me of the only other time I ever saw a dog with three legs, I know, I know, what a limited childhood, and I said to my dad, "Poor dog", and he answers, "Better three legs than dead". There ya go, Hiram Sedai, poor, pathetic, pornographically-inclined putz that you are, look on the freaking bright side, at least you're not chained to the wall in some filthy Guatamalan prison with Jorge the three-hundred pound, hyperactive sodomite. Or, as Abba John said: "When you are despised, do not get angry; be at peace, and do not render evil for evil. Do not pay attention to the faults of others, and do not try to compare yourself with others, knowing you are less than every thing created."^^^ Endnotes: (I've fallen in love with 'em) ^ Oh come on, somebody had to ask, maybe that lecherous motorcycle racing nutjob who's mangling of my British airborne is held in perpetuity by my own lack of action. ^^ Actually, can you possess a lost leg or do you, rather, dispossess a formerly owned leg? This sounds like a question for Wittgenstein. ^^^ The sayings of the Desert Fathers. I'm not a religious man, but this is a beautiful book.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly-- What do you mean there were no rumors of my demise? Inklings? Whispers? Well, Jesus Christ, what kind of response is that, a room full of blank stares, hey, wait a minute, who are you guys? What the hell, did I end up in the Norweigan Buck-Buck Challenge XXI thread, I leave this place alone for a couple seconds and all the second-rate, pencil-pushing, aardvark-humping, wannabe-croda scumbags file in like drunk munchkins finding out it's free twizzler knight at the Emerald City SuperMax. Oh well, it's not like I came back to play Combat Mission, just to check in on the seamy underside of CM known colloquially as the Cesspool. So, before I disappear again like a one-night stand after a paltry three hours of hot, sweet lovemaking, what'd I miss?

It makes sense, with evil no longer being fashionable and all, it's a wise move to hide the horns. I must say, though, you could wear something other than a beanie with the corpus christi spinning on it or the 'I love rabid witch hunts resulting in the slaughter of innocent sikhs and other minority religions' baseball cap.

Probably 3/4 ton given the date (41 or 42) and the fact that it's definitely army and not civvie. Thanks for the help, guys. And slap, that sure looks bigger than a 1/2 ton to me, too, so maybe DaimlerChrysler's wrong about it.

Hey slap,pickuptruck.com (The source for your picture) reports the vehicle pictured to be a half-ton.

I can't say it out there, because of the lawsuits and the whole, 'Everybody's gotta show some decency ever since some limey Berli-wannabes knocked over the WTC', but Jesus Chongo, Hanns, didn't my post out in the forum state specifically all the information that you replied with? What are you, a delinquent monkey child let loose in some government expiriment to discover the true awareness of Internet users? Please, smurfette, reread my post and notice that everything you said was said, by me, except for your little WWWTFWWFWWJD piece of horse pucky. Idjit. And I'm not back, Elvis, just visiting. Though somehow I still get all of Molinaro's junk-mail. Cripes, what a whacko that guy is, he'll believe anything just as long as someone forges a picture of it. You'd think, being the graphical genius he is, he'd notice they're fakes.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Hanns: Are you sure it's not a 3/4 ton Dodge WC-5x series truck? <hr></blockquote> I think it is a 3/4, hence the reason why I asked if anyone had ever heard of a 1-ton. <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Hanns: Looks like there are a lot of groups into doing vintage resto's on them, might want to do some digging. FWIW, Hanns <hr></blockquote> Yes, that was the sole extent of my research. However, they swear up and down that it's a 1-ton and not a three-quarter ton. Either way, CM is still woefully unrealistic by not including it. Tsk tsk.

Ok folks, my dear mother decided to buy an old WWII truck, a big four-wheel drive monster that has been described as a '1-ton' Dodge Weapons Carrier or Ammo Carrier. I'm no grog but all my research says there's only a 3/4-ton and then a 1&3/4 ton with 6-wheels. This one only has 4 wheels, so I don't think it's that. A couple or three questions for the groggiest grogs of grogland: 1. Is there a 1-ton? 2. What's the policy on restoring these things? It runs and it's got historical plates but what's the tranny like (No, not that kind of tranny, Bauhaus) and the engine? Any kits for these? 3. Why isn't this vehicle modeled in CM? Frankly I think the absence of the Dodge 1-ton weapons carrier renders CM ineffectual in properly simulating the WWII tactical combat environment. BTS please fix or do somefink. I don't know why she bought it, she's my mother, did you expect her to buy a frickin' Ford Explorer? No I haven't seen it, nor have I driven it, but they tell me it runs. No, still no CM playing over here. Hey, how would I know where to get a good steak in downtown St. Louis? Who told you that? What, that son of a-!
