What is the deal with the influx of scum-sucking newbies with member numbers less than that of Stalin's Member?? Held out a whole half hour. Training Panties, the whole point of a forum like this is to keep on yapping. Check the rules you git. Member numbers only matter to emasculated males like yourself who don't have a member to call their own. I just don't get it, after lurking away the year, now all of a sudden they crawl out of the woodwork. Thankfully, only one of this onslaught directed their witless tirade towards myself, though one did (ineptly and hilariously) randomly call on my pater un-natiorialous. For Lars and Terence, who seem to think their members are worth somethig: it is like a dollop of cream on top of putrescent flesh. I have no need or inkling to direct my words to you, since it might enciourage yourselves to remain. As for the SSN who directed his attacks at me personally - sod off! You have no pair of anything, and the word it WIT not WITLESS, so you are confused and unremarkable in that as well. One is an onslaught? Wow, you are in trouble. If you don't want my remarks addressed at you personally, please tell me the worthwhile part of yourself to direct them towards. And by the way, please learn to spell. EngineerING twits like you are the reason I'll never be unemployed. I can only hope you meant toy trains. My platter is full of worthwhile games, so instead I propose a cess-tourney. Even a squire gets overburdened, so I feel the need to take on a stable-boy. Perhaps if we were to send Terence and Lars ona double date, the survivor of such an incident could have the burgeoning joy of cleaning up my horse's manure, feeding the pigs (with Berli and tending my flock (with Mace.) No, Training Panties, I called you out, with the parameters you suggested, not the flatulent doll. They don't do tourneys here, that would imply that winning the game matters. Check the rules again, git. Now, are there any more SSN's around? We need one to battle Stalin's Monkey for the (dis)honor of stable-boying Mrspkr... Who wants a stable boy? I'm rounding 'em up for market over here! You couldn't round up a Dominican hooker on a Friday night with a fistful of large denomination bills in your hand. Now send a setup, git.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> [ 06-19-2001: Message edited by: Lars ] [ 06-19-2001: Message edited by: Lars ] [ 06-19-2001: Message edited by: Lars ] Message edited a whole bunch of times because I can, and yes, I'm drunk.

Well, Training Panties, your lack of a reply is rather amusing in one such as yourself. In fact, it's the only amusing thing about you. Keep it up. I thought you would be running off at the mouth like a toilet overflowing by now. I have been following this thread since the very beginning and of all the lackwits who have posted here and then left never to be seen again, you are surely the most wretched. First, you sink so low as to allow yourself to be squired by a Frenchman (a Frenchman, for God's sake, have you no shame?). Then, when even the French are tired of your pathetic mewlings, you somehow get foisted off on the Rambling Bard. This is not a good thing. Now your posts will be even longer but contain the same amount of wit (i.e. none). I know you have read the rules, but it is obvious that you do not understand them. I wouldn't ordinarily post here but you are ruining the free flowing banter which usually takes place. This is NOT the place to beg people to try out your lame scenario, no doubt based on the plastic toyset of the same name. It is NOT the place to beg people to review articles you are writing, no doubt with the help of a ghostwriter. It is NOT the place to beg people to kick your FAQ thread to the top of the list, no doubt to boost your rather fragile self-esteem. It IS the place for you to Die-A-Lot. Consider yourself more challenged than you usually are. If anyone could screw up a pool of cess, you are it.

You guys let this one go by? <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Pawbroon I read your articles (except for that very first one from way back, some kind of idiots guide) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Sounds like you missed the one article you really needed to read. So come on Panties, send a 1000 point QB setup. I’ll take the Allies on defense. I may not win, but if you lead your troops like you post here, at least I’ll get to laugh at you.

Hey guys, he's from Alabama, go easy on him. Redmow, if you have received that much flack over your sig it might just be a good idea to consider another one that is perhaps less offensive. And before I forget... Hi Mom!

Keep the Cesspool. 1. Its a great place to pick up dirty tricks to pull on your PBEM opponents. 2. Its sometimes hilarious. 3. Gives me something to read at work.

They taught us in welding class to always fill a gas tank full of water to purge any possibility of explosive fumes. Of course there is always someone who doesn't have the time. And then suddenly, he has a eternity.

Probe= flags in front area of defensive setup. Attack= flags in middle. Assault= flags in the back.

There could have been a Orion or Viking overhead that you never would know about until its too late. That being said, a sub in your operational area will ruin any admirals day. Two diesel subs pretty much changed the Brits plans in the Falklands. ASW in the US Navy has been going down hill every since the end of the Cold War. Its hard, time consuming, and not very sexy compared to other areas. If you really want to have fun with the US Navy, mine the approaches to the Taiwan Straits. The only losses in Desert Storm were to mines. Another area the US Navy has neglected.

There is a program to string PBEM movies together. That will have to hold you for now.

I believe it's fairly standard practice to disable a gun by removing the breech or firing lanyard when abandoning it. Maybe the crew just can't find it in the weeds where they threw it.

creep, the reason your scout cars didn't see anything is because you had them move fast down the road. Next time have them move slow about 200m ahead of your main force. For a real life example drive down a country road at 55mph and see how many ruffed grouse you see under the trees. Then do it again at 5mph (this is how I like to hunt them when my old, bad knees wear out). What good is a scout that doesn't see anything? [ 04-24-2001: Message edited by: Lars ]

Had a 50mm AT gun take out 17 British AVF's. Front, side, it didn't matter, that little gun just kept smoking them. His tanks were all going for a 75mm pillbox that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Boy, I really like 50mm AT guns now.

Dunnee, I guess we were just talking past each other. I agree that it would be nice to be able to hide a squad behind a tank to advance on a key point in certain situations. See above about the StuG and engineer squad. But once you know that there is somebody in that position the tank better be careful about a AT team. Rereading the first post I'm wondering why he didn't just stand off with the King Tiger and blow that MG away.

If hiding one squad behind one tank is a good idea, why wouldn't you hide a company behind twelve tanks? I've already gave you my reasons why you shouldn't but I would like to hear your reasoning.

Vitalas, the AI likes to drop a lot of smoke. And it's not dumb tactics but actually the prefered method of negating a pillbox with artillery (unless you get some really big guns). If the pillbox can't see it can't shoot. Hope you order the full version, you'll really enjoy it.

No, I see the same thing all the time too, on both sides. Maybe the AI just likes a relatively cheap, mobile MG with room for eight in the back.

Are you kidding? Get on the plane. And for a real rush go to Oshkosh. Check out the EAA website for particulars. I go every year.

Dunnee, this is a tactical game. You're already at the point where your going to take a lot of fire. As for bunching up your infantry and hiding behind the tank you just present a good target for mortars and offboard artillery (which the tank wouldn't shield you from anyway). It would be nice if the tank did provide cover for an assault but even then it would probably only cover one squad (think StuG with an engineer squad behind - hopefully for CM2 in Stalingrad). As for not getting within 200 meters until after you have already won, that is the point I was trying to get across. He won't know that he is closer than that until the tank goes BOOM! After you locate the position you should reverse your armor to a safe distance and then let the bad guys enjoy some HE.

Cos, just missed your post. I believe zooks, fausts and shreks will penetrate just about all armor. What I meant is a wide semi-circle screen of infantry in front of the tank to guard against nasty suprises.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>nah. . with the king tiger being a beast and all, your infantry should be behind it, and I do think it sucks that a squad can't take refuge behind a tank. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Dunnee, your going to send a very expensive, long range asset like a King Tiger right into a bazooka just waiting for such an chance. The infantry belongs out front to prevent this. If you run into trouble with the infantry, well, that's what the King Tiger is for.

Vehicles do not provide cover in CM. And your infantry should be in front of that King Tiger.
