  1. While that is true, certainly the top speed would be affected if towed by an African Swallow (versus a European Swallow).
  2. ROFL! In the 80's there was a modem-compatible tank game that was more fun running around squishing troops than to actually play!
  3. Yes, the Nobel PEACE prize is often awarded bicentennally for the best computer WARgame.
  4. ROFL! That's why I bought my first computer in '84... as nothing more than a wargame opponent! (when everyone was still buying the to "do their checkbook" and ended up doing nothing more than games, I was buying it to do nothing more than games!)
  5. Sorry, got carried away with the fever and that old SAC'ism slipped out.
  6. Board wargames is/are the precise reason I always use it... because we can now! (well, since the early 80's "now" *grin*)
  7. Am I the only one to notice, this... Looks almost exactly like the new one...? Seems to only be a four letter difference before and after the mod?
  8. That would be an age-old tool that would be a greatly appreciated addition to CM. As would the converse of selecting just a point and seeing all the map areas that can see to it.
  9. You are an unkempt heathen who should be stripped of their Forum name! *grin*
  10. Why do we need to login to view the mods? Is seeing them some kind of security issue?
  11. Because they are fat and slow, they have all received the death penalty. All players should assist in the imposition of said conviction. *grin*
  12. MikeyD's post is right on the money. As to whether you want to mod CMBB, that's entirely personal preference for the most part. Having said that I think you should at least take a look at the winter mods... adds a lot for me to have at least some white-washed armor in the snow.
  13. You can avoid that by choosing a smaller force sizes for both sides. (*grin*)
  14. I'm still internally debating whether "griddyness" is a word. hehe.
  15. C'mon guys the only real hassle is stringing a second monitor in the bathroom, err, I mean libray.
  16. And why has no one mentioned the lack of motorcycle-riding horses?!?!? A bit odd they've been left out of TWO games since the issue was raised in BB.
  17. No, no, no. That was the Armor Mistel Project (known as "Amp"). The thinking was the L3 would hold the driver and aimer while mounted on the back of a Panther. The Amp would them make a high speed pass at the enemy and launch the panther after wiring the Panther's firing switch to "fire," thereby giving a continuous rate of fire. While the L3 would swoop off to one side or the other and return to base for re-arming. The lifeboat confusion came because many Italian crews waited until they were under fire before releasing the Panther and thus giving the impression of being a lifeboat. There were a couple of crew that became aces using the Amp. Their trick lay in their ability to finely tune the aim of the Panther so that it was an effective battering ram, causing much damage and the ensuing exchange of insurance paperwork would tie up the allies for hours (many of the allies did not even have their registration, much less proof of insurance in their tanks!).
  18. "Game?" This is a "game?" That has to be the most gamey tactic I've seen yet! (trying to convince potential opponents this is a mere game) *grin*.
  19. I think that would make Oleg angry if it is his engine being used by the Czech's(?).
