Right, I've a nit to pick. As Jeff has pointed out (several times), France vs. US did happen. I'm not entirely sure that fantasy force matchups should be considered, mostly because I'd rather see BTS making sure that the historical matchups are accurate than fiddling with Pershings vs. IS2s, but saying that French forces vs. American forces never happened is a poor example. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

Erm, I don't know much about the Arab-Israeli conflict, so I've been quite content to sit this one out, but (fortunately or not) I do know quite a bit about Chomsky. I don't agree with very much of what he says, but I question your characterization of him as a "self-hater." I'd be very curious to see the basis on which you make that statement. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

Great, I've attracted a stalker. Listen spanky, maybe shooting Ronald Reagan would make me like you, why don't you go and find out? It's very nice to see that you've been lurking for so very long. I am also King of the Canaanites. But seriously, let me ask you a question: Exactly how pansified does one have to be to read this thing for over five thousand posts, never having had the eggs to post so much as a wee squeak of a challenge? Is that, like, adorable newborn kittens-level pansy, or snuggly warm wool blankets-level pansy? And then you come waltzing in like the cock of the wall with your "original" showdown metaphor and "hilarious" England jokes. My my. Well, sorry, but insulting England isn't going to send me into some sort of red-hazed rage. My shorts can think of funnier England jokes than that, and don't even get my socks started. They're freaking brutal after they've had a few pints. I don't play anyone until they've made me laugh. Your post gave me painful gassy buildup. Then I burped for like ten seconds straight and I felt better, but that's another story. So impress me, baby, impress me. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super [This message has been edited by Chupacabra (edited 01-25-2001).]

This is already implemented as a tacAI decision. In a PBEM game I'm playing against Berlichtingen at the moment, I ambushed (more or less) a Churchill VII with a Tiger. Tiger took a shot, then started to reverse out of LOS. Seems to me there's no reason to implement an order to do something which is already happening. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

IMO, when discussing the tactical utility of weapons systems in relation to similar weapons systems, it's not practical to introduce other concerns into the equation. Tactically, the question is: was the Panther better at doing its job than the Sherman was? I'd answer yes. However, if you ask the same question in a strategic sense, the answer becomes no, for some (among many) of the reasons you cite. But put me in a Quake-style deathmatch with a Sherman vs. a Panther, and I'll take the Panther, thanks very much. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

What happened to Chubby's project is Chubby remembered he had another project called a degree that he has to finish first. Once said degree is finished, and assuming no degrees of the doctoral nature present themselves, I'll think about it. But right now I don't have the time. To those who've already sent Lorak their photos, my sincere admiration, and my deepest sympathies to your offspring. I'll try to find one of myself that doesn't involve tanks or Germans. Stevethenakedmolerat: setup sent. Die. Die. Die. Hiram: Pansy. That is all. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

Heh, is this limited to games we've owned, or is it any game we've ever played? Worst game I've ever played was "Athena," for the NES. Fair enough, these were the days when shooting glowing red balls at pixelated turtles was fun, but even for the time it was garbage. Worst game to come out in the past 5 years? Probably Daikatana. Combine boring gameplay, ugly graphics, piss poor AI, and thinly veiled racism, and out comes Daikatana. "I can't reave without my buddy Supahfry!" Worst game I've owned... hrm, tougher. Oh, actually, no it's not. Shadow Warrior, Daikatana's spiritual predecessor. Crap. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

Yay, Hiram's back. So, just in case he missed this: "Hiram never sent me a setup, from which I am forced to extrapolate that he is a mewling bluebird with a Boy Scout fetish who murders his neighbors' children and poses them in a lifelike manner in his basement. I imagine he then has tea parties with them." So, how 'bout it, Rainbow Brite? ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

First, on a non-reaming note: Stevetherat: I'm in Southwark, SE1. A bunch of us usually get together for drinks every week or two. Dunno when the next time will be, but you're welcome to join. And now... Scrota has issues with the way I'm conducting my probe. To which I say, when my my turgid, thrusting probe is deep within his most secret spots, pounding vigorously away at his tender flanks with the speed and animal brutality of a charging bull elephant scenting a cow in heat, he may comment upon my probe. Berli continues to blast away. Given that he is supported by the entire artillery arm of the Canadian Army, an armored division, and a wing of F-16s as opposed to my platoon or so of exhausted, undersupplied Volksgrenadiers, the outcome is not much in doubt. I'll still make him bleed for it. Sneakytea is in a bit of a tiff because I won't tell him what brand of artillery I'm dropping on his men. Boo hoo. I think he's just jealous that I'm probing Croda and not him. PolTroon is finding out what happens when he runs into veteran SMG squads at close range. He is probably also finding out that being French is silly, but that doesn't have as much to do with me as it does with him being alive and French. Hiram never sent me a setup, from which I am forced to extrapolate that he is a mewling bluebird with a Boy Scout fetish who murders his neighbors' children and poses them in a lifelike manner in his basement. I imagine he then has tea parties with them. You may now go back to your regularly scheduled program, The Very Best of Hee-Haw. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Napoleon1944: I think he just wants the QBs to be more even.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> How does taking a shot and shelling a potentially empty area make a QB less even? In any decent-sized map there tend to be 3 or 4 good jump off points. So assuming that you have bought TRPs (because if you haven't, the enemy will have left that spot before you can start shelling it anyway), chances are you've still missed and wasted a fair amount of points shelling empty woods. My feeling is, if you guess right, good for you. Chances are you won't. ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super
