    And yet, compared to YOU our intellects, or particularly mine, stand forth like a grand edifice.

    I am a great blazing sun of knowlege and perception, compared to which the tiny flickering match of your mind is a pale weak thing ineed.

    To put it more vulgarly, lackwit, none of these lawsuits are true, and none of these people are real.

    Toddle off back to the sandpit.

    I can only quote your own long-forgotten words back at you and pronounce that you spoke the truth, yea these many moons ago, when you said "the chittering ground squirrels of the Peng Challenge thread have lost their edge."

    So they have, utterly.

    Or you're all getting laid a lot.

    And since I've seen the pictures, that strikes me as rather unlikely.

    Your silly rules don't apply to me.

    The reason I am infinitely superior to a pustule like you is exquisitely simple.

    For me, playing with toy soldiers is enough. I don't need to climb into some fetid virtual treehouse and play Peng Club with the other human refuse.

    (Squires.... Snicker snicker snicker. Good lord. Its quite a toy house you kids have....)

    I just want to walk by every so often and pee on you.

    Consider yourself -- and the rest of the lackwits -- peed on.

    "Yes, infantry very good in Red Army. Enemy fire NOT problem. After the first wave, we send the second. Then the third. Then the fourth. They pave the way for the fifth, you know, comrade. Then we send the..." and so on. I care about my little polygon men!</font>

    A platoon of SMG troops with accompanying tanks into an enemy's exposed flank is usually enough to ruin their day. Improper use will often lead to botched attacks and lots of causalities however.

    I definitely agree with this. I hesitate to speak for anyone else, but I can confirm that surprise attacks of SMG-bearing infantry and a platoon of tanks definitely put kinks in my plans.

    It seems that the changes to FOW and MG firepower might make the more set-piece assaults more possible, and so we might see the tankodesantniki employed on our computer screens in much the same fashion as they were in history.

  6. Thanks to you all for your swift and informative replies.

    Do the the changes to MGs and the firepower model that lets suppression happen more generally and at higher ranges, may make the lifespan of the average CMBB tankodesantnik longer than we find in CMBO? My understanding is that Defenders may be more suppressed by attacker fire --as Andreas explains. Can anyone correct me, or confirm?

    It also makes sense that when the bullets are flying around, the smart infantryman gets on the ground or moves to cover, and doesn't stay sitting on top of a large metal box, especially one that attracts enemy fire.

  7. If memory serves, in CMBO a really good way to get your men shot to bits is to ride them into harms way, embarked on a tank.

    Whenever I've transported men into way of shot and shell, either by getting ambushed or early on when I was learning what worked, I paid for it heavily. The troops riding tanks are exposed and very vulnerable to small arms fire and arty.

    But I read a mention in another post about SMG bearing Russian tank riding forces, and I was wondering if there was anything different about the Russian tanks -- ie. modifications that made the troops safer?

    OR are tank-riding troops in CMBO too vulnerable to enemy small arms fire?

    OR does the player with the tank riding troops just take heavy casualties and write them off as the price of doing business

    OR, (I just thought of this) did tank riders not ride right into range of enemy small arms? Did they dismount before reaching that point?

  8. The CMBB sounds great, but I have to correct you on one issue.

    What you had is not barbecue, but grilled meats. Of course, a grill is just as delicious in its own way, and I mean no disprespect, and of course, as a European (barely one step up from Yankee) you are not expected to know the difference.

    For future reference however, grilling is done over coals with direct heat. It usually happens quite quickly, with the meats being cooked within several minutes.

    Barbecue, often abbreviated BBQ or just 'cue, uses (this is key) indirect heat to slowly break down the meat over hour and hours.

    Still, I wish I'd been there.

    I would be interested in this.

    If NY is out but central NJ is a possibility, I would also be willing to volunteer my home for a weekend-day gathering. I live in a town called Somerset, and my home is only a mile off of Route 287, just south of where 287 and Route 22 intersect. It's very convenient, driving-wise, and there's plenty of room (on weekends, that is, when my housemate is out more often than in)

    If anybody out there has and wants to demo a copy of CMBB, but feels that NYC would be inconvenient for people email me directly. Perhaps we could use my place as a convenient spot midway between Philly and NYC?

    Neeuuuuuuu Jersey!!! My God!! We're not barbarians you know. :D

    How about Brooklyn?
