Welcome aboard Timu24. Get some good practice in with CMBB and CMAK. We always need new blood (to flow) in the next incarnation of Rumblings of War.
Sincerely,
Charl

Excelllent MikeyD. Many thanks for the time spend. Much appreciated.

Indeed, the link is amiss. Nor can I find it. :confused:Originally posted by John Kettler:WineCape,
We have an apparent miscommunication. You gave me your Wine Tourney II thread, but what I'm looking for is Part II of the Invitational Tourney thread.
The link at the end of Part I doesn't work.
P.S. Love the enchained grape cartoon!

WN,
You could/should blame it on Matt for swishing it all up at the CMVention.
Winners Prizes:
2 of the 3 arrived in Australia and UK respectively in good nick. 3rd one will probably end up in some ATF gent's gullet, given that USA wine lawyers are forming a sing-a-long "Free the Grape Society" at www.wineinstitute.org/shipwine/index.htm

Walpurgis nacht,
I've timed the courier package to not arrive when you are at home. Please leave again.

Lemme do a search ... again. Works now at http://www.battlefront.com/cgi-bin/bbs/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=16;t=019362 .Originally posted by John Kettler:WineCape,
Had a hoot linking to the Invitational Thread and rereading all the fun we had, but the link at the end of that thread to Part II doesn't work. Any chance of modding your sig so it can be reached directly?
Regards,
John Kettler
P.S.
Nice wine discourses!
See Shandorf's comments @ Tourney II a few scrolls down. Funny dude indeed. BTW, is he still around?

Glitches have been found in Beta. More testing needed.

Right,
Victor Charlie has just mailed me to say that he has received his winners booty in good form in Bondi Beach, Australia. Any other so lucky? Let me know.

Stop being so reasonable Seanachai.Originally posted by Seanachai:Um...Gasmask? What about your reply? You know, your MOS, and everything? Busy with Google?

Ignore Seanachai at your own peril - he delivers rabid prose & is usually senile, but he can make sense if you have your bi-foculs on
Welcome aboard!

Ace & GaJ & Kettler & Cpl Carrot,
Many thanks for the efforts with RoW V. Likewise Richie for your prize, Mike Meinecke/Treeburst for his monetary contribution. The others I have mentioned and thanked by name already.
The 3 cases x 12b wine prizes for the 3 winners have been despatched and will probably leave the shores of South Africa by early next week via plane.
I have selected some Cab, Shiraz, Pinotage, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and some Red blends for each winner, a cross section of the noble cultivars we produce here in the Republic.
Sincerely,
Charl Theron

RoW VI might well be based on CMC or even CM:SF - who knows.Originally posted by Herr Kessler:So I assume there will be a ROW VI? Or am I getting ahead of things? Just wondering what one would have to do to be involved in this next time...

John,
Can't find the winelist that you've requested in an earlier post. Must have deleted it. Apologies.
SteveS,
Your welcome & Prost! Let me know when the goodies eventually arrive.
Sincerely,
Charl Theron

Update for 3 winners:
The assorted wines - various cultivars to give a broad spectrum of SA bottled sunshine - are packed in their styrofoam boxes. I have received the export documents and collection from my premises for couriering will be this Thursday coming. Expected transit time 12-18 working days to the USA, UK and Australia.
Kind regards
Charl Theron

Victor Charlie, Walpurgis & SteveS,
I'm at a referee refresher course in Jo'burg - on short notice. Only back coming Monday. Not to worry, the wine will only improve during this time.
Will drop all three an e-mail with my wine recommendations.
Sincerely,
Charl

As long as you're old enough to drink itCharl, thanks for your incredibly generous offer. I feel a bit embarrassed to accept it, but not too embarrassed to turn it down. I'm off to another province this weekend to officiate a pro match - after a 3 week recess - so will honour my promise to the 3 winners as soon as I'm back next week.
Congrats to all the other participants for sticking it out, despite some hiccups. My sincere thanks to the scenario designers, Cpl. Carrot, Ace Pilot, John Kettler et al for admin duties, not forgetting Diablo Fish.
Sincerely,
Charl Theron
PS: Can the winners drop me an e-mail so long at WineCape@global.co.za as to what they prefer regarding red and/or white wines. As well as their street addresses and day/mobile contact numbers for the courier of wines.
-
Kingfish,...Using the same process I show the runner ups in groups 2 & 3 as not having enough even with max bonus applied to overcome the leaders in their respective groups. Therefore, unless I've made a mistake somewhere, the winners for The Rumblings of War V tournament are:
Victor Charlie in Group 1
Walpurgis Night in Group 2
Steve S in Group 3
Do you mind forwarding the winner e-mails to me so that I can start preparing the freight of wines to the winners' respective addresses?
Sincerely,
Charl Theron

You see,Originally posted by MikeyD:If you get any CMx1 mods at all I really REALLY recommend replacing the PzIV skins if nothing else.
...And maybe th PzIIIs
...And maybe the Shermans
...And maybe the T34s...
It's a drug. Somebody was of the opinion a few months ago that a great chunk of forum members either D/L the mods or yak away here - or both - without playing CM. For months on end. Perish the thought.
I personally look mostly for MikeyD and Andrew Fox's mods, repeatedly, diligently, oh, and Tarkus Interface mod is another must have. So many must haves...
But paying for them. No thank you. Then I'd rather leave BFC's mods as is out of the box. I'd rather BFC charge me more for creating their game artwork then pay someone for their incarnations, with respect.

Gack! He's back. Missed your light sense of bonhomie in this dark, desperate thread..Originally posted by Shandorf:Hey guys, how are you all doing?
I haven't played any CM for a long time but a friend and I picked up CMBB and we have been playing a lot so I was wondering if any of you want to do a CMBB PBEM.
Shoot me an e-mail at: jshandorf@comcast.net

Misspelled. Should've been "dead"Out of curiosity, why do I have _ded appended to my name?
-
I believe prizes are in order of delivery, Kingfish?
Congrats to WN (2nd time winner), Steve and Victor, as well as the diligent participants.
KF, send me the e-mails of the wine prize winners so that I can start discussions regarding ther wine choices, will you.
Regards,
Charl Theron

To answer BigDuke's question: The mission/battle was a complete success/victory for the USA forces. The war and its strategic/operational aims are another issue and debate.
Inferring any operational/strategic and political aims, as derived from this specific battle account is - given the microscopic nature of small encounters and no benefit of hindsight - pure speculation.

Aha, the real issue I venture to say BigDuke.
***EDIT: Deleted the rest as tried to get witty with booze in the cellar underneath the mosque and added, as usual, nothing to this interesting discussion. Apologies.***
