Well if you get some time off "playing" with your sheep send me a setup - I'm in Australia so its close enough...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by virtualfreak: Phil were you thinking about mixing your coward polish troops with top rated americans? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Is there such a thing?

I was just wondering about mixing forces when playing the Allies. What is the propper etiquette on mixing forces i.e. can you have french tanks with british paratroopers and American arty - I know you can in the game but what is the oppinion of this knowledgeable board? - Was it historically possible, do you think it's alright. THANX ------------------ Tread lightly, lest ye step in ****

My Dad intorduced it to me, we're both hooked. Suffice to say my life has been on a downward spiral ever since PHIL

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Combatboy: I for one will answer anyone about living in the United States if they will answer questions about living in there own countries. Like: What is the drinking age in Australia and Germany? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I don't know the German age. But in Australia the LEGAL age is 18 yrs and our driving age is 16 (which to me seems weird that we can drive before we can drink). BTW (just to steer this away from banning territory). what is the age in the USA? ------------------ Tread lightly, lest ye step in ****

If I allowed it to play, and actaully watched the turn, yes it would have been doubly shocked - being blown up and all. But I didn't seeing it was the wrong turn (and I wont be able to play tonite cus I'm using a different computer.

I was just watching this game turn, in one of my PBEM games, when I decided to abort - at the time I had a Puma selected. I hit Abort and the Puma suddenly became shocked I sure the feeling is mutual around here - why would I abort such a great game

Maybe I was a little bit hasty in that reply (having not read the last page before the above post). - the Educated and Maybe violent new cesspool, if PzKpfw 1 goes through with his implied threat to harass Combatboys grandfather ------------------ Tread lightly, lest ye step in ****

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Combatboy: Hey Phil, thanks, I think this thread is ever so much better now that cool stuff is getting talked about -- I hope it reaches a thousand. We are learning about each other's culture and that is way cool. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It could become the new: Clean and Educated Cesspool PHIL

Well just to answer the question why Australia is so good, is because we have the Leadership of Fatso (the battlers prince) who has motivated us all to win. - To those outside of Australia or who have no knowledge of Roy & HG this will make no sense whatsoever (serves you right for not being an Aussie). BTW. Combatboy, you are now my personal hero - you are like a ringmaster to this circus post. ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

Seems like there are all old people here!! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No you aren't, I'm 15 love the game (introduced to me by my dad - who also loves the game) - The game however is causing quite a few family problems, My dad doesn't get to bed on time, and the problems even worse for me - I'm here at 1AM in the morning trying to keep up with my PBEM ers overseas + trying to post on this stupid forum ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

Congrats, I think this is quite amazing that you can hire 2 guys you've never met from different parts of the world (at least 1 anyway). I guess it's just a sign of the times we can put it down to the NET.

send me a setup to jimbo@picknowl.com.au ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by CavScout: You are quite right... the USA's contributions were minor. In fact, I doubt the USA was even needed in the war... Seriously, that's like arguing that because you have 10 men with me having 10,000 and you sent 4 off to battle and I sent 2,000 and then you then claimed you were "more" contributing because you sent 40% and I only 20%. Go figure. Cav <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> WOAH. Calm down Cav - I wasn't trying to take anything away from the Americans - without them the war would have gone on for many more years than it did. I was just trying to say that Australia was not some backwater country that didn't contribute their fair share - I was highlighting how well we did fight, and the lengths that we went to.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by CavScout: As for other countries, yes there were others. There were many on the Allied side. One has to look obejectivly at their contributions. [This message has been edited by CavScout (edited 09-15-2000).]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I'm not quite sure what you mean by this: that Australia didn't commit many troops compared with USA? In fact proportionally to our population (approx 10 million 41')we commited quite a large proportion, more in total than India contributed - despite their large population. ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

Thanx a heap for the replies - very informative (I hadn't though about the A-Bomb race or the logistics of building heaps of battleships and carriers) - considering Doctor's suffering from sleep deprivation. PHIL

I was just wondering why America agreed to a 'Germany First Policy' in relation to alocation of man-power and resources in WWII? Surley America was under more threat from Japan than Germany. ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

A replay of the whole battle would be good ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"

I'm just wondering what side people prefer and I'll collate any material you wish to offer. IE. former poll 'where are you from' ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries"
