<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by FABIO: 2. The same 2 German tanks, with no infantry support whatsoever, attack and route an entire company of American infantry. Not in an open field, in dense woods and rough terrain! 2 buttoned downed tanks against 100 men with plenty of cover??? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> it was actually pretty open. they were crossing a stream and the infantry had no antitank weapons. (they showed some infantry shooting their rifles at the tank, the tank opened up and they got routed. CLASSIC combat mission) <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> 4. To take out the 2 German tanks, they decide that the only way is to (again) send half a squad of men behind the lines with anti tank guns, sneak up behind the tank under the noses of a few platoons of Germans, and shoot it. These tanks are just sitting in the middle of a German encampment in an open field. Airstrike???? Hello? Hell, they didn't even need the airstrike, they were just P IV's. AARRRGGGG!!!!!!!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> hey there was camoflauge over the tanks: they had two small branches over the top...snicker... the half squad decided to do it by themselves, without higher authority approval... actually i liked it, as the first 2/3 was pretty good then the last third was really unbelievable... ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by STRAKER: Enemy at the gates has had 100+ million spent on it, the most expensive for a European movie. Hmm that will be interesting. Stalingrad was a nasty war. If that movie isnt an NC17 STATES - R18 NZ i dont want to see it. SPR was R18 because it depicted realistic war scenes. If Enemy at the gates is a kiddies movie im gonna be pissed off. I have heard theres a love story going on in it to hmm. Pearl Harbour is apparently a love story as well, about a WOMAN torn between two men. What a crock! Part II!!!!!! There wont be much fighting in that, i mean how long did the attack go on for,( how much fuel did jap planes have 20 minutes or so to fight with) cause thats about how long the attack scene will last and thats it. The rest will prob be sucky sucky kiss kiss. The future of war movies looks grim. More movie stroy emphasis is now on fighting one another over woman, than the actual enemy. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Enemy at the Gates looked good...until i read entertainment weekly where they mentioned a love scene in a tunnel between the guy and gal while surrounded by sleeping soldiers... W...T...F? as for pearl harbor, it IS a bruckheimer film so i'm more worried that he might make the explosions of us ships blowing up a little too bombastic. The trailer looks cool, jap planes zipping in at low level, camera following the dropped bombs in, real explosions used to show the damages, not cgi. can people explain why they didn't like midway? i thought it was reasonably accurate and entertaining. they mentioned the important and not so important elements: ensign gay's fate, the code breaking, coral sea, yorktown's damages, the japenese decision to refuel/rearm their planes... edited because i called "enemy at the gates" "stalingrad" when they are actually two dif movies...oops ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show [This message has been edited by russellmz (edited 10-17-2000).]

just for fun i did a fw quick battles against ai where i had one us squad and massive german armor but with massive us air power (assaults of 30,000 points allow a couple thousand points worth of arty support) anyway, there were bombs, strafes, and rockets...not that many kills, but whatever.... ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

when don roos wrote the opposite of sex, he set out to break three cliches/rules of moviemaking: -the main character has to be really likeable -no flashbacks -no narrator he broke all three and made a great film. so i propose everyone contribute to the most non-cliche-ridden script ever written about ETO infantry. we need: -a hopeless battle where the germans win against the allies for a dark edge(somebody suggest a battle!) -have a non-american allied force as the main chracters(someone suggest a side they wanna see) -intelligent use of german tactics against the defending brits/french/poles/or russians -some non-stereotypical characters...er, what do you suggest? atrocity committing SOB new guy? gentle veteran sergeant? crybaby complaining bad-ss? atheist? jewish former german? 'normal' guy who's actually the craziest most psycotic guy there? suggestions please... ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

bad war movie Starship Troopers <ahem> talk about maneouver warfare! the Mobile Infantry got around by walking. No tanks, no APC's, not even a dang hoverboard. when facing a horde of PO'ed bugs, what do they decide is the best thing to do? 1) call in an airstrike, waste those puppies 2) wade into them mano y cucharacha 3) use artillery and tanks that would be pretty invincible against big bugs with claws (the answer is 2. i mean *&^#$*&! the troopers in antz did a better freakin' job and they only had sticks!!!!!! at least they had a little aircover!) the "beautiful" girl (and that music that swelled each time she appeared) was really annoying. the only character i liked died... and the ending sucked since they 1) try to set up for the next sequel 2) bring together the 'friends' who were not really in on the important parts for most of the middle of the film. oh yeah, they're all fascists apparently i agree with red dawn being cool when you're young. good propaganda, i was really scared of the russians invading america after that! ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show

i took the idea of Hill 302 ( http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/011651.html ) and made a scenario with some small modifications. the americans have to get past/capture Hill 302 and use Highway 101 to get off the map. i'm still modifying it so be gentle in your reviews. be sure to play as the americans first, as i have a few surprises in store for you. this is geocities so you may need to right-click and choose "save as..." http://www.geocities.com/russellmz/images/combatmission/Hill-302.zip issues that i had trouble solving: 1. are the americans too powerful? 2. is the americans goal of exiting going to be too easy to accomplish despite my little surprises? 3. is the objective flags going to confuse the ai?? notes: if you are german playing germany(hopefully after you played as the americans), make sure not to miss any german forces that may be in odd places. be sure to tell me what's wrong and what's right. hope you have fun... ------------------ "They had their chance- they have not lead!" - GW Bush "They had mechanical pencils- they have not...lead?" - Jon Stewart on The Daily Show [This message has been edited by russellmz (edited 10-16-2000).]
