Bullet I agree with you to a point. Do you put forces ahead of you your main body when playing the game? If you do then this is a screening force also known to some as a recon force. Now it is a recon in force but recon none the less. I agree that the flyovers and "scouts" have been over the area previously in a planned battle and in a hasty battle little prep has been done. But I use a force to find the enemy and initiate contact. Now this is not traditional recon but their primary reason is to gather information and take as few casualties as possible. The gaminess is the fact that the CO (the player) has no regard for the lives of the troops he sends forward (the jeep example!). Any number of tactical manuever is possible in CM (that is why it is so great) but the simulation aspect fails when a person starts number crunching and willingly sacrifices his pixelated buddies. That is the issue and one that is hard to address. It is late I hope I have made some sense. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Actually there was a big brewhahaa about whether experience should be factored. So I do not know that it is. I know it is factored in getting bogged but I do not know about getting out. Matt or Kwazy? ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf [This message has been edited by Priest (edited 03-12-2001).]

Oh Lorak nobody dies this is a gameyou fool See you tonight on the field of pixelated honor you rascally wabbit. Unless of course i get odered off. They never let finish my prey. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Hamsters your humor loses it;s charm outside of the pool now back back....and send me a turn. I also find that if you just halt the vehicle and leave it alone that helps (maybe the crew can then concentrate on getting out?) Just my thoughts ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Oh don't worry Hammie i am still here. I was busy this weekend but not busy enough it would seem to help you reduce your armor assets to a more manageable level (of course those little AC bastards now need to die a horrible hamster on fire style death but that is another problem). Once I get rid of that pesky infantry then all should be well. SO SEND ME A TURN ALREADY! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Speaking of murdering the english language! I am BETTING on my chest. I mean its nice and all, chicks dig it but I doubt i would "bet" on it. SPELLING GOOD Anyways to each his own. Now might I suggest JD for tonights battle Loser Lorak ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

My guys just hope you have foxholes (it saves the work of digging your graves) As you said in the game Lorak it sure is nice to be able to use artillery freely. More importantly I guess is the fact that only one side needed to get to river to a win and the one that did not was the one who did. Two words for ya TOTAL VICTORY The campaign and in 8514 my friend. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf [This message has been edited by Priest (edited 03-09-2001).]

Yes it is on Tom's site and I think MaddMatts. Also ther is the flak guns by Tiger at manx's site ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Lorak Lorak Lorak Lorak. You know playing in character can only go so far but you do have that whole disillusioned German military stereotype working in overdrive. Run for as long as you like. Taunt for as long as you like. Brag for whatever reason you would like. Every turn some German CO has come and told me that my time is up and every time that same person is either: 1.) Dead 2.) Captured 3.) Commanding what amounts to a Nazi custodial crew. Which do you choose? ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Hamsters you have had a good game so far and I salute you. But it is far from over. Your wonderous Jabo is wasting it's time with a vehicle that has been dead for about 6 turns! Apparently Lorak is piloting it. "BURP....Got another one...BURP....That makes 6....geez those German cats always put a tank there every pass i make....GUHHUAHUAHU!" And you Lorak are hiding in some trees hoping to god that I do not see your sorry hide. At least Hammie is fighting a man's fight, one in which he has a much better chance of winning than you do I am afraid. Lastly ShansyDorph why dost thou not respond? ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Hey Manxy this site will be up for awhile and I like the new look. But if we start to see problems like before tell me so i am not on some md dash to download the site. (I am not kidding I actually downloaded the pages!) ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

FYI Lorak show up drunk to TCP/IP games! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Shansi you have a problem with me then that is fine. But in this case I did not invite this problem here. That was Matt so yell at him (boy I would pay to see that). Check your sources before you use second rate sayings with the intent in hurting my feelings. It will not work even if you have Lorak write the sayings for you! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Lufty get into the Peng thread so I may pound on you verbally please! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Well that explains why the heck I get so cold all the time. Someone mod me winter dagnumit! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

me also at kennesmi@cisco.com ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Well if it is any consolation most of my cool manuevers end up being a nice representation of "Pickett's Charge!" ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Matt I will send you some by this weekend because I will probably play 4 or 5 games by then, this of course is dependent that I see this behavior (which I have before). I will include all specs and I will try to play on 4 different machines also. ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf

Lufty oh Lufty....here Lufty Lufty Lufty...come here you disgrace to all menkind!!!! Matt inadvertantly gave me permission to use a 100th of my average brain power to school you on simple ethics and behavior on life not to mention this board. And while Kitty has proven herself a valuable (and funny) asset on this board you have quickly proven (in 7 posts I might add) that you have no worth whatsoever. Next time either contibute constructively, post to the PENG thread, or shutup and lurk like the heathen you are you backwards SOB. Note: I do not know Kitty or Mary. I have never met either of them. The point is that stupidity in its rawest form (racism,sexicm, etc.) is my greatest annoyance and you just became the focus of the anger it causes me pal! ------------------ Sir are you sure you want to go to red alert...it would mean changing the bulb -Kryton of Red Dwarf
