[****ROW V (Part 5)****]

Walpurgis,

Good to hear you received it this time in one piece. Have not had a return in many years, so don't know why USA customs shake the box so hard to find out what's inside.

I consider all my promises fulfilled and my work done for RoW V.

Spoon,

It seems the only way, for the time being, to see me is on the 'Pools excuse for a Website for the time being. Joe wanted to keep only my wife in the picture, but I informed him I married above myself and it needs showing ...

What time period is the CMVention again?

Several cases for the winning team(s).

No need to worry about that.

[Peng Challenges Seanachai in a Thunder Run]

Is it daylight yet? Wouldn't mind a Tequila Sunset:

60ml Jose Cuervo

30ml fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey

lemon spiral to garnish

Shake, then strain in cocktail glass.

Have you tried my Tequini ?

22ml Cuervo

22ml Absolut

22ml Noilly Prat

dash Angostura bitters

lemon twist to garnish

Or even better, my Soixante-Neuf:

30ml Bombay Sapphire

30ml fresh lemon juice

chilled champagne

twist of lemon to garnish

Shake gin & lemon juice, then strain into champagne flute. Fill with champagne, add twist, serve.

Have you?

Pretty picture and concept, eh?

In case you have not heard, Combat Mission Campaigns (CMC) will be released in 2006. [EDIT: Hopefully in 2008?]

I'm gathering interest, from ex-RoW players, CMC forum members etc. for a two-team CMC tourney via the Rumblings of War style later in the year. Obviously based on a slightly different RoW format. Please let me know if you are interested.

EDIT: Please read all pages on this thread (all WineCape postings) to get an idea of the upcoming RoW-CMC tourney later this year. More specific tourney details will be posted here after CMC's release.

List of names, on my spreadsheet, is as follows below. Please bear in mind that this list is *not* final. Since there are roughly only place for 40 players + 20 reserves [edit Oct06: Player totals will be increased, i.e. there will be more than 40 players - y'all will soon see why ], all listed players will receive, when CMC luanches, a 'thesis/questionaire' as mentioned in this thread further on.

NOTE:

If you were part of a previous RoW and/or other campaign/normal tourney (or multiple RoW's) and your name is not listed below, then speak up. Non-tourney players can still apply.

Likewise, if you want to be removed, please say so.

There's a difference: I'm French Huguenot

[Peng Challenges Seanachai in a Thunder Run]

What in the name of all the randy hells is a 'wendy house'?

A small wooden house, aquired by rich parents so that their young daughters can have a doll house outside, serving tea in the garden to imaginery friends.

But since you married Alice in Wonderland, judging by your picture on BillyBob's My-favourite-family-dog-website, don't plead innocence, useless git.

Correction,

In seniority here in the South African professional soccer league (PSL), I'm next in line come Sept06 (fitness test - actual panel selection in Dec06) to get promoted to FIFA's international referee panel. 'bout time too, seeing it's my 16th season, the last 6 thereof being in our pro leagues. Not there yet...

Rune

Much obliged, as usual, for the watch offer. At moment have enough time pieces and running out of space on my arm. But will need one by next season. Plus wifey is of the opinion that I've spend enough this year on wines, so no extra goodies... yet. But will remember the offer nevertheless.

Billy-bob is at least fast wrt to my web details, so I'd rather chide him to play fair henceforth, if not, I'll swipe the bugger with more than my cards. I'm tall, after all, despite being cut to size at his low-attandance website.

Referree.

No Joe, it's not a phonetic sound as per whistle, but 'referee'. And I'm typing in my 3rd language. What do they teach in America? American?

Kind thanks to the ever watchful rune

[Peng Challenges Seanachai in a Thunder Run]

Yup, I married above myself. BTW, you cut my friggin head off in the picture Joe - to make me shorter?

Short sommelier's only serve garden gnomes in wendy houses.

[Peng Challenges Seanachai in a Thunder Run]

WineCape ... I shall require a photo of you and some biographical information which I shall butcher and rearrange to suit my own purposes. Email in profile.

There's a good Sommelier of the CessPool. Butchered meat on its way.

To the Justicariate: I have refreshed your webpage many times to up your visitor count from 421 to 1241. Go figure.

[US QDR...]

As professor David M. Kennedy said before: From the outset, the war (OIF) was a colossally bold and breathtaking risky gamble. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, the U.S. failed to beat the odds.

Forget about WMD and links to al-Qaeda. The real purpose for invading Iraq was the extravagant ambition to transform the political culture of the entire middle East. The Bush Administration bet American might and good intentions against the accumulated weight of centuries of religious rivalry, tribal tensions, wanton bloodletting and autoritarian rule.

Even American hyperpower has proved no match for the burden of all that sorry history.

[Comments on CMAK Companion]

Ordered 2 Companions for birthday gifts to good friends.

Also good to know sales thereof goes toward BFC's development team.

All present are fat bastards in wine.

[A Dumb Question]

I, before Walpurgis Nacht, remember another awesome player in the Rumblings of War (RoW) Tournament: Leonard Dickens - I think his alias was Wreck. Treeburst155 could help my memory out here.

He, as well as WN, could play any hand that he was dealt with in scenario's. The mark of a true great player.

Reading Leonard's AAR's was very instructive. In essence, know your force weaknesses, and to know your opponents' implies recon, recon and more recon before you could exploit it.

And Jesse's (WN) maxim is relevant. Only fire/attack a unit if you can destroy it. Completely.

[BFC and troops! Affordable grog resource found!!!]

Interesting indeed John. Reputable website? Has anyone ordered from them on the forum? I guess I could "test order" at $10.00 (ex-freight) on PayPal/Credit Card.

Jesse,

Official line run as follows: TNT International broke one bottle in the consignment. This damaged the labels of the other wine bottles. Wine are being send back to South Africa. The wine is insured (via my freight forwarder, Vineyard Connection). The latter will replace and re-send.

Roger that?

[****ROW V (Part 5)****]

Let me follow it up WN. Will report back hopefully with a TNT tracking number at www.tnt.com.

Sacrilege!

A bottle of vino lasts 3-4 days between me and the missus. With food. Golden rule: don't use/abuse what you push.

Sex, drugs, women, rock & roll and the % indicator on certain bottles => vices of mankind. You will always make decent money plying these trades. I should expand...
