AAAUUUGHH! What happened to Scipio's Sounds?
Slapdragon replied to Captain Wacky's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
What a silly sod, that is the Peng Challenge thread. No one there cares about the other stuff, just that the term Sod may be politically incorrect for Turkish people or some such. [ February 03, 2002, 10:09 PM: Message edited by: Slapdragon ] -
You really try to live up to the Idjit in your name don't you? I know quite a bit about Scunthorpe and if you are so unfamiliar with the English language that you can't see what team gets the boot in the original statement you can add "Really Big" in front of Idjit. And Swedes certainly seem to know how to run national sides wouldn't you agree? See you on June 2nd, loser. And if I ever start a team we'll call ourselves Dynamo Fjordsturmknacker FC so you won't get any royalties. Johan</font>

MG poll at Combat Opinion - interesting results
Slapdragon replied to TeAcH's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
I have written 11 national polls and I can think of nothing that sucks more than pretesting questions for validity and reliability and cross testing them between various populations/ -
If 57 to 43, or whatever it was, is a slaughter, then so be it. I was going to send something over tonight, but I got back late from a "Bruce Campbell presents a remastered copy of Evil Dead on film" thing tonight. I'll win back one of my dog's ears yet again with a QB I'll send over tomorrow. My question for Saturday: Do I buy a Ruger Vaquero in .45 LC or a Winchester 1894?</font>

Or perhaps I must mention the truth. It took me a month and constant pleading to get the yutz to stop zipping his files, a worthless practice when you notice it saves (gasp) about 20k of space on a 250k file. If getting him to stop something simple like zipping took that long, then perhaps I would be in my old age before I was actually able to make him number turns in a way that made any sense.

VT 105mm arty. The best thing since sex?

Actually, when you have a demanding wife like I do, playing CM on the laptop is the only way it will happen, so I guess I would have to say I have indeed been firing artillery diuring the supreme moment. -
are sturmmgruppes(sp?) gamey?

A US infantry division was capable of putting wheels underneath every soldier it had and dragging a couple of days of supplies along also, but this involved turning every vehicle it possessed into a transport. CW divisions where not this lavishly equipped, but CW armies held corps and army level assets that could be used to motorize several infantry divisions. Also, transport battalions existed which did nothing but provide battle transports to the troops. The most interesting picture I have in my collection is a US division with a bunch of German 251 HTs being used to augment their motor pool. In 1945, when US forces where forced to rationalize for the tgransfer to the pacific, the 2nd AD was found to contain twice as many transports as it was authorized, while several infantry divisions had formed impromptu motor pools. -
Yes, but the access to running water and having more than 3 teeth in my head makes up for it. However, when I come visit you and your son-nephew (must be complicated that way out in the country) I will be happy to partake in shooting at signs in front of your trailer, as long as I can go back into town to use the flush toilets at the 7-11.

The other evening I opened my door, and found what at first I assumed was a bum on my doorstep. I was about to give him the boot when he explained that he was the infamous Hakku Ichui . I said God bless you and let him in. He is not as much of a girly boy as Andreas led me to believe. Well, he was right about my wife, she is a charmer. Of course he is a bit slanted on other things, but he was suffering from jet lag despite not having crossed a time zone. I was surprised when he went to sleep at around 1800 hours, but no matter. As to shooting, yes, he can hit a piece of paper with that incredibly huge piece of steel he calls a wheel gun. My little .38 hurt his hand, while he almost dropped my Glock when he fired it. As for the little pull over when he left, the deputy, who was actually hired from the local college since we here in Richland County don't do that sort of thing, said it was not a hard task, since he was not the first person who had been in that particular territory. Now, I think he learned a little (about shooting, down Bauh Haus ) I am waiting for Andreas to travel to the mainland for his own experience in the joys of American freedoms. Or perhaps get Sean down from the north to see how things are done in the land of the low country boil. [ January 31, 2002, 11:32 PM: Message edited by: Slapdragon ]

Go ahead. In fact, both teams can recruit new players as they wish. -

Send your resume to the two teams. I am sure one will pick you up. Remember all that this game is part one, part two will kick off with the survivors of this game playing CM:BB! -
Now if this is realistic, I'm mickey mouse
Slapdragon replied to History Buff's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
If you moved them out into heavy fire from cover at close range they tend to run toward the enemy. This is because the boss is ordering them to do something stupid, and it is the best chance they have to complete their mission. Moral of the story: even at night do not think that you can sneak through the open and surprise someone who is already shooting at you. -

We also have an honorable person from New Zealand waiting in line for a chance to play. Anyone care to take him on?
