STRAKER

I noticed this as well on 2 assault games i played. They picked a few Fausts to annoy me with and even though they had no Fortifcations they picked a good tank selection. No worries.

Winter war comes out on DVD on jan i think As far as Docs go dont get the DVD 3 pack with D-DAY, Russian Front or Battle of Britian as it sucks. Dont waste ya monnies people All 3 docs are made by Aamericans and its pretty propagandry and full of ****.

FEB - MARCH 2001 hehe doh!!!!!

Apparently the sniper battle in Enemy at the Gates (Movie) is considered fiction. The author of Stalingrad who wrote it said many had taken it the wrong way and he believed it was Russian propaganda and that the story was indeed false. Apparently there were no records to be found anywhere regarding the existance of the German sniper and the events. A pic of the supposed Russian sniper and story rergarding it is here. http://users.pandora.be/stalingrad/snipers.html Also Enemy at the Gates is gonna be coming out not in Dec 2000 but in Feb-Mar 2000

Interesting. Its my understanding that those of u who did take the pills etc were very lucky, your immune system must be strong. I read a scientific report regarding the testing of these pills. One of each pill was given to a different chicken. ie one chicken was given an anti nerve gas pill while another was given an anti bullet pill etc Nothing happened. The chickens were fine. Then the chickens were given all three pills at once. They died. No ****. So there is something not right there. Also if u say hey but they are animals and they react differently to drugs thats a good point. REMEMBER THIS!!! All the drugs and food products etc we are given are tested on animals!!!. Hmm thats not right a. Also a big thing is happenning at present is in the US air force is a large percentage of airforce officers (30%+) are refusing to take the Anthrax vaccine. Apparently officers are concerned they will get sick and die. The US said they are concerned about this. Hehe i dont believe they are concerned cause the airforce is going so high tech they wont need pilots anymore. They are currently testing robot drones, 1 person can control 5 easily , they fly in for recon etc and with a sufficent power supply could use laser for atack as well. They intend to have these robot aircraft (they are 60% of the size of an aircraft fighter) online in 2010 in all units. I peronally am concerned with the pills tropps are given. Both reports the one i gave and the one linked on the above link are from scientists. Who are probably paid by someone to say whay U are supposed to hear. Who can u trust? IM about to go into the NZ army as an officer and im wary about what drugs ill be given even here. Vaccinations are dodgey as hell. And NZ maybe be a little country with not much going on inside but were are in a very strategic position near antartica and mineral rich areas. Aussie supplies 1/3 of the worlds uranium. Not that Nukes are used much anymore as they are obsolute now. So its not like we are not given the same drugs etc we are. In England MOD are being taken to court for testing Bio weapons on there own troops. The ex soldiers ex RAF etc who were tested on are putting there case at present and police are astounded that MOD could do what they did to there own troops. One RAF fellow had a strip of his clothing covered in Anthrax etc He was made very ill. Others had different drugs thrown on them U can get many reports like this from sightings.com. Theres alot of UFO stuff there to, but alot of it i believe is new US weapons etc being tested especially the triangle craft. There is alot to read but its very Interesting. To sum up becareful what u take, because at the end of the day do u really know what these drugs can do to u?. Do u want deformed kids? The same goes for what u eat and drink etc.

I have seen pics of MGs mounted on the Kubelwagon. Two of the pics i saw were from the Eastern Front and were of an SS recon unit on patrol. I happened but im not sure how common it was.

i have the latest version of explorer, so buggered if i know.

Whenever i try to go to CMHQ it says i need to update my browser? anyone having the same problem? It only happens on that site. Buggered if i know.

Me mates selling his copy of CM so if u want the game and mannual its $80 NZ ono. ph 07 8476518 if u or ya mate want this game Its A Hamilton phone number. If u want the game posted to u, tell me on the phone. Theres 1 copy only so its first up first served. It cost him NZ $120.00 to get it ages ago and our exchange rate is screwed against the US so its real expensive to get now. Buggered if im selling my copy...

That is the ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IM there......

OK well ditch Fionns 76 rule, All vote on it!!!!! im in favour, but well keep all the main rules above. i personally dont like Tiggers that much any more after the way they have performed. Panthers rock. Regarding the comment that unarmoured vehicles were used alot for recon is true, I agree. SAS JEEPS ETC, ive also seen hvy armed Kierbilwagons. I was trying to stess more how they were being used in game charging the enemy with them etc. Thats really something for an armoured car to do. The point is in any game u can charge jeeps etc, armed, unarmed ( long as they have troops in em ) and there are enough, to represent an attack. Thats legit etc. Moving troops up dropping them off etc is legit. The they can do what they want. Its not about what u use, its more about how u use it generally speaking. For someone to recon up and see a gun, if he attacks it and stays attacking it, thats legit to me. Flying past it and hooning so to speak right thru the whole enemy area is sad. Thats what id like not to see basically. I think well play with an honour system regarding this i think, its still up to the individual but if u play against someone who does this alot the choice is yours to stop playing with them i guess. But the main rules made 1 -3 will hold in all our games. Fionns rule is optional, u can aggree to that before ya game i guess. Anyhting else people want to bring up? ie no biting in Hand to hand or pulling hair?

Weird, I wrote HOLDFIRE in the middle of the arrows things and it didnt come up. oh well enoiugh suspense u know what it was now.

Nice post Priest. The thing is with me ( similar to how u and your opponents have played ) ive been happy to play with whatever i bought and use it how ive wanted to. Gamey or not has never bothered me. Gamey recon usually dies against me. Alot of these problems also i believe would be solved if BTS released a unit command called <<<<<HOLD FIRE>>>>>>> However looking back at the odd thing i did i found many of my moves ( the rare one ) a little lame. I myself like to play as realisticly as possible but at the end of the day are u out to play realisticaly or win? We like to use what we paid for.. Its an interesting debate could go on for ever. Basically having rules does suck, i agree, but a few basic ones like we have wont hurt. And it might make the game ok. Basically the people like PeterNZ, KIWIJOE etc are good to play with, we dont have any probs really, were just all trying to get a quick rule clairfication setup we all agree with for any future game with others etc. Here the is below proposed curent rule setup. 1. Crew must retreat or hide. No advancing to assist in helping take objectives. May asist in defending support guns etc ie move beside a infantry gun etc for group support as long as they are not advancing. 2. No scouting with AT teams. 3. No last turn suicide flag rushing. Also regarding the idea that troops could mass either side of objective, not an issue, as tactically speaking they will have to take it sooner or later, else that objective will become drawn if both sides are massing. 4. Fionns 76 Rule....No tank guns bigger than 76 mm , Self propelled guns can be any size. Artillery any size, Aircraft any. This is the only rule we have to get sorted i think... 5. Recons should be allowed up the side middle etc, as long as the reconing side doesnt charge head on into units etc. ie If u see the enemy u should have to try and move away from them, thus no charging up the side thru defenses up the back middle etc with jeeps, utilty vehicles, kirblewagons. If u have a hvy recon unit or light u are welcome to attack units. But no cheap reconing thru the rear in the first 10 turns anyways unless u are attacking etc that area with the vehicle. The recon thing is what get us here. We could just play anything goes with recon, up to u guys. Im happy with all the above rules except recon.. what u want to do? 6. I was thinking we all play a certain amount of games each all 1500 point, or 2000 point and we note down the outcome and points. That way preserving units will be come more important, making crazy recons a waste of points maybe. Points won by should be considered just as important as winning.

WE play alot of 1500 - 2000 point quick battles so thtas why I suggested the vehicle limit for recon. We can buy alot of vehicles for that. As to banning unarmed vehicles, thats not right. U can use kilberlwagons for instance later in the battle to assist in flanking attacks -high speed transport ie throw a mg gunner in the car run him behind the enemy and drop him there to aid in supressing fire. Wiht him inplace u add more units to the flank/rear attack. OK artillery wise we all tend to use the standard 105 mm etc. Going bigger, well i havent seen it yet and its dam expensive and its as rare to see it as it was in RL so none of us are worried by that. Aircraft hehe i havent seen any of those either. These options if used all the time might be banned but no one has used em yet. SO anything goes at present with that. Nice idea though. Ill wait 4 a few more ideas eh well try and get something solid going rule wise.

I know it will definately have the subtitle option like most DVDs, but as to it being in english, im not sure.

OK ive found to much moaning and arguing over things being gamey or not. So hey im gonna add some rules me NZ mates may want to play ( also included are rules we are playing by)in our league challanges. All NZers please feel free to comment as this will affect out little game league we have going. If u want a new rule in comment here, and it will be discussed etc. To any one else feel free to make POSITIVE comments. This is for serious rule making , no flaming thanks. If this turns into a gaint flame ill asked those who caused it to be removed from the board or have this locked up. This is mainly for NZers who are currently playing in / or who want to play the little league thing we have going. If we happen to make some good rules here feel free to make wide use of these all. OK big thanks to Fionn for his 76 rule we use and KIWIJOE/PERTER NZ for there current comments and help. The main problem with these rules is do we aim to play realisticly or just use whatever we buy for whatever means we see fit?. Here is a starting list i guess. (Current) means a current rule in general use. ? means discuss. 1. Crew must retreat or hide. If in an objective zone they must retreat out of it.(CURRENT)? 2. No scouting with AT teams. (CURRENT) 3. No last turn suicide flag rushing. (CURRENT) 4. Fionns 76 Rule....No tank guns bigger than 76 mm (CURRENT) 5. No Fast recons up the side? after a certain turn? only recons allowed are with certain vehicle types? No charging straight headon into enemy, fast withdrawls etc? Using your speed as an armed vehicle, u should be allowed to distract guns etc moving around the battlefield, but charging right up should be disallowed unless u have support coming etc. Definition of a recon? is it to attack the enemy with the recon vehicle? or is it to find enemy positions and retreat as safetly as possible.? 6. Definition of a recon is 1-2 vehicles of the apropriate type moving foward to recon any flank using recon rules; and an attack is 3+ fast vehicles going up one flank at the same time ( basically do whatever u want).? 7. Force composition no mixing of more than two nationalities? maybe three i dunno and german no mixing of more than 2 -3 different troops types ie SS, Army etc? 8. No using UNARMOURED/ UNARMED vehicles in distracting roles/attacking roles unless carrying troops. eg drive truck at tank so while tank aims at it; your tank kills enemy tank.? Some ideas anything else. Gamey definition to me is unrealistic play with specific units. But how realistic do we want play here? NO FLAMING THANKS!!!!!!!

RUSSELMZ commented on this so heres to the question u asked.. yes the plane got away hehe. Originally posted by Navare: Worst ever.... 2. a movie that came out in the 70's (i think it was called "The Chase"). Premise of that movie was a Tiger tank (?) in North Africa chasing a damaged P-40 around. It wsnt called the chase hahaha its called something else that makes it sound like a huge battle thing ( i saw it just yesterday in vid shop), and its got loyd bridges as the german tank commander. Also the funniest thing is on the Vid cover is the pic of the plane, of loyd bridges and his tank. these pictures are over the top of the main pic which shows infantry and tanks from Vietnam. How F^&KED is that? Rated the worst by myself as well.

All of the above hehe Bridges/rivers to be randomly put in quick battles for a bit of fun. German motorbikes!!!!!!!!!!! Plane recon, instead of planes attacking they can fly around and recon. Random chance of seeing things, maybe add camo neting option to AT guns etc that arnt moving and are emplaced. Means flak would be used more often maybe. Compatibility to CM 1 maybe, the ability to move CM1 german tank mods to CM 2 german tanks.

What the hell does this mean? "It will be a symbol of unity, a symbol of Army excellence, a symbol of our values," he told the annual convention of the Association of the United States Army, a professional support group". Notice he says Unity. Unity of what? Aha unity of all Armies worldwide i reckon. How does the black cap make it a symbol of US national unity. Unity for all military units? Hmm well how would u feal if u were Delta Force wearing a black cap and then some regualr guy can waer one too. Hmm to me makes the whole army "one" so to speak equal with one another.. that could be what they mean also by unity. Who knows. But just giving u an example to look at where news given can actually have deeper meaning. On the subject of CNN news, at CNN according to CNN themselves there are 7-15 Pyschological Warfare officers who work there, permanently so to speak. Umm what the hell for? Do they restrict what u watch? What are they doing. I know of media being used to control people in the past but to be doing it know would insane really, but i reckon they prob are up to no good.

Its all part of the New World order military units world wide new look. Quite obvious really how they are slowly changing things. They are slowly removing items on the uniform to make people get used to the non US look. Also the US flags patches were not worn on US units operating in the gulf war. Same goes for a number of aircraft and there colours / markings. Heaps of US aircraft no longer have US AIRFORCE on them. Alot of them are going black too. The markings are being lost so to speak in history. If u dont believe me, thats ok, but watch these things and u will one day see what i mean. Its a bit odd really that one would do this to there airforce.
