I gotta go find Xyphorus and get him in here. He'll tell you all about perfidious Albion.

Er, think you meant Gen McNair. To bad the USAAF dropped a few short, eh?

That's because there ain't any on the Pommie team.

Sorry, no. Their archers in the middle of the square would have piled up a lot of dead horsies.

Eh, I'd still take Swiss Pikemen.

Strange, UK policy for about 300-400 years was to prevent any one power from dominating the continent. So where do you get this?

Yep.

Yes I do. But I think we're getting a bit carried away, all a Mulberry is is a concrete box. The sunken ships were an even easier solution. Don't see any need to go beyond Rolend's plan, at least, not in this game anyway. Don't think we need to simulate Amphibious to any higher level of fidelity, imho.

Well, why would you land where people are shooting at you? Not at all. We're only talking a matter of scale in the number of landing craft built, nothing more. Don't even really need a port for that matter. Normandy was supported over the beach for quite a while, as Cherbourg was wrecked.

Wait a tick, just thought of one. Third Punic War. Also Marathon. And Xerxes' invasion. And I'm sure I could think of a few more. Can I count Operation Olympic? [ June 08, 2006, 08:16 AM: Message edited by: Lars ]

Never. But there was 100,000+ men that came ashore after the initial D-Day assault. Like, within the week. Now repeat after me, "It's only an abstraction, it's only an abstraction, it's only an abstraction…"

Well, I was right about the cheap Scotch anyway.

Think that would work just fine. Germany is never going to put more than 1 chit in. If they get the tech early, they might go for a Sealion or the end run around Alexandria. Italy, probably never. Allies, well, they got plenty of time for the chits to pay off. Think the real question is who's going to lead the assault, US or UK? UK might be ahead in the tech due to more time, which might prove interesting. And I don't like Seamonkey's suggestion to limit it to Corps. We're investing significant amount of mpp here for what amounts to a fancy barge. Loading costs reflect the price of building them, so just raise it for Tank or Army if you're unhappy with it.

With trigger locks. Combination trigger locks. {hmm…did I set it to McChimpy Bu****ler's B-day or Ronnie "Evil Empire" Reagan's?...} Not what you really want to try to remember after a quart of cheap Scotch and an all-night men's encounter bongo drum session, now is it? And check your email.

Nah. Doomed the day they invaded Russia and blew it.

Lmao, and it seems some people chose their sig for the very same reason. *shrug* </font>

Or he's confusing his Swahili again.

Now there's a real inbred redneck for ya! Three arms!

Look under scripts when you first start a game.

Sounds good, but how about Level 0. Think the first thing we're figuring out is how to put the doors on.

How about a bullet hole in the forehead instead of the red bar? Well, depending on front I suppose...

If Patton had the gas, he'd have been in Berlin. What an idiot, invading France with no gas...

Expert, spot the A.I. 1.5 experience, soft builds.

Er, guess that early draft missed your dad, eh? Well, maybe not your dad. More than you ever wanted to know here, Chief of Staff: Prewar Plans and Operations
