This was/is the first and only time any attached file has ever been reported to contain a virus and I get mail w/attachments multiple times a day. Still fearful, Kitty

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Madmatt: Tod, be sure you are playing the new version of Team Desorby available from CMHQ in our Scenario/OPerations area (NOT the Scen. Depot). There were a great many changes made to it including the No-Man's Land setting. Madmatt<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> We're playing the new version. That still doesn't explain why this is happening in other scenarios too though. K

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by PeterNZer: Sounds like a bloody good idea, and just what the doctor ordered. PeterNZ<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The purpose of the Air Warrior Scenario manager was to replace plane skins that sucked, terrain that sucked, and sounds that could not, for most people, otherwise be changed back to their original form without time consuming downloads of huge files from Gamestorm (unless you backed them up before hand). Since the original CM stuff can easily be copied back from the CD, what's the point? Oh wait . . . laziness. =) Kitty =^..^= Ps - gp, you never responded to me re your request for my comments on CM, gomer. You ever gonna play me or are you too scared, lamer. =P

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by This Todd: I'd narrowly but successfully held off the Axis advance from three different directions in the first battle. Some of the Axis troops advanced to close to Noville from the Southeast, but they were held in check or repulsed by a firmly entrenched Engineer squad, a light machinegunner, and some light tanks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, but I also managed to sneak a few platoons and armor pretty close to the town on the opposite end of the map. I also disengaged the majority of my armor thingies in the same spot and withdrew a few meters back to hide and wait for nightfall. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> The result? I get ambushed by a bunch of Germans who've now occupied the buildings I had, just a turn earlier, filled with Allied troops. This was an unpleasant turn of events considering I'd just spent the entire previous battle sacrificing troops and tanks PREVENTING the Axis from taking the city. Seems almost like a wasted effort in retrospect.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hehe "sacrifice." "Wasted." Yeah, die! Die! lol <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Is this typical of campaigns where someone must play defender? Would higher ups have somehow called for a general withdraw to reorganize troops despite the surviving troops maintaining excellent defensive positions?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Given the fact that you seem to perhaps have been unaware of the lurking hidden danger on your other flank, it wouldn't have been an unreasonable decision to pull back your forward elements lest the salient they occupied be snipped off and annihilated. If CM AI models this, I have no idea. In all seriousness (but that can't last more than 5 minutes) I've experienced the same thing vs. computer in a different scenario. I stopped the computer cold at a crossroads that was maybe 10m behind their original starting postition. Not ONE unit made it past this point and lived more than a turn that I'm aware of. Yet, next battle I was given positions WAY far behind the ones I successfully held in the first battle. No idea why other than that maybe there was something occurring elsewhere that maybe I wasn't aware of . . . (shrug) CM, please answer. =( Kitty =^..^= ------------------ ICQ 8273286

My British paras are eager to kill your last PzIV... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hotmail still insists that the file you sent has a virus and although I know you wouldn't intentionally send me a virus I'm scared to d/l it. =( Kitty

(looks around) Hear those crickets? Kitty =^..^= Ps - AW sucks and the Kraits suck worse. Pps - check your system clock. ------------------ ICQ 8273286

Ok, I finally got my replacement CD and I'm dying to play someone PBEM or preferably, PBICQ. Anyone want to? ICQ: 8273286 Mail: felineflying@hotmail.com Kitty =^..^= Ps - I added a few people to my contact list for games but when I upgraded ICQ it broke the list and I've lost your names. =( Please resend.

Someone can always start another board or newsgroup that will allow "off-topic" posting and flames. No one ever said this has to be the only place to talk. <shrug> Kitty =^..^=

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by The Commissar: some advice on recommended reading, gameing, and web surfing. Thanks in advance fellers, Cheers! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Reading: I'd recommend anything written by Chandler, "The Hundred Days" is very good. Also his Osprey titles. The Military Book Club at least used to have some good titles. "Swords Around the Throne" is a great book but I can't recall the author off hand. I had a large collection of books on this topic but unfortunately had to sell most of them not too long ago so check used book dealers in the Pasadena, CA area. For computer gaming of this era, I really like Talonsoft's Battleground Series. "Prelude to Waterloo," "Waterloo," "Borodino," etc. For miniatures I only used 15mm figures and Avalon Hill's rules "Napoleon's Battles." They aren't so complex that you need the manual every 5 seconds but still include a lot of detail; also it comes w/some scenarios. I used to buy my figures from a company called "Wargames." They're really nice had good prices and prompt delivery. Not surfed too much for info about this era but I'd recommend checking out the Napoleonic Society of America. They send out monthly newsletters and have annual (I think) conventions and trips to France, etc. =) Kitty =^..^=

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> -Mother Theresa<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Have to ask: Is this the same "Mother Theresa" that played AW? =) Kitty =^..^=

No. CC ruined CC for me. I've always hated it. (shrug) <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ahauschild: CC is more for a quick beer and preztel game<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yep. One of CM's strong points is that you can easily finish 6 - 12 + beers in an evening of play. =) Kitty

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Rommel22: Why are Germans represented as Hamsters??? Are Americans cats??? Why not rakoons or squirels??<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You're correct. Historically speaking all sides employed a wide variety of fluffy critters in their armed forces. It's just been a coincidence that so far the photos I've posted seem to be one-sided. Some of the first photos of hamsters that I saw posted here depicted them in the American army. I'll try to show a more realistic portrayal in my future posts. Kitty Ps - Hehehe, I think i'm losing my mind! =D

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by The Commissar: Hehehe...good un', Kitty! Oh-uh...change your name, quick, I hear M. Bates coming to criticize your exploits of innocent hamsters and harmless Helmets! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hehehe and here I thought I was being all "MBC" (M. Bates Correct) by just using a hamster and a helmet I took off of a WW2 reeenactor. =( K

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by FutbolHead: It just dawned on me what computer SL really reminds me of (okay, I'm slow). Up Front! Did any of you play the card game based on SL by Avalon Hill? I liked it. It was called Up Front! and it was a kind of abstract representation of the board game, using only one or two squads with each squad member and leader individually represented. (Lets see, still on the shelf somewhere....yep, it's still there) <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yep, I remember that game. It was kinda fun. Played it a few times w/a friend of mine at his parent's beach house in CA. =) Kitty =^..^=
