Hmmmm I wonder why you would be asking about TRP's... Maybe my men are being tested on at the moment? H

Hi Redwolf, I know it is a pain when you don't know if Cogust is still around but please bear in mind that if he is European we do take long holidays and 8 days is nothing. The start date of the games was not exact at one point and he might have forgotten to send an e-mail saying he is away. I have still not heard from Tero and I presume he is still getting back into the swing of things after a good holiday. H P.s. I still have to do your turn when I get home tonight. I did not have enough time this morning before going to work. (I was too busy with a Fire on the Mountain).

LOL Sodball... As for me, well its like waiting for a bus, you wait all weekend and sod all turns up. You come back from work on a Monday and I have had three... White4 your green men await you. When will you run out of X? Jazza I am coming to get you. I know where you live!!! As for Redwolf he is complaining about my Poles knocking a French Town about. Since when did the Germans worry about the French!!! Back at Ya. My the falling bricks knock you out!!! H

Ahhhh Haaa So I guess you now know that I have some surprises in store for you. (And plenty more so keep your nose out!!!) You will see from my AAR I had a cunning plan. As cunning as a cunning thing... Hmmm as I have not seen the turn and I am chained to my place of work the loss of more buildings does not bode well. I just hope my legs moved fast enough to get out!!! If not may my men find a cellar stocked with wine to keep them occupied until they are dug out. I look forward to seeing it all tonight in 2 hours time. Cheers H [ June 17, 2002, 12:04 PM: Message edited by: Holien ]

Hmmm I am sure Cogust will show up.... (please please please...) Turn sent to Redwolf and one to White4. We are on turn ten in Fire on the mountain, nearly half way through and it has proved me right so far in my views of the scenario. A stonking game... As for Polish Push the push is about to start... H

Me I am no good and can't play to save my life. Just sent my 1st turn to Redwolf and waiting for his fangs to bite. Still no turns from White4 or Jazza but I guess they have lives... Off to bed to seek solace in the arms of my beloved.... H

I would like to write stuff like that but no turns today at all. Can I get a transfer to a more turn friendly group? H

Morning chaps, Good luck Ireland!!! (We will be cheering for you) Turns sent back to Jazza and White4. I hope White4 enjoys the latest blazes.. H P.s. Well done Senegal!!!

Wake up White4 and Jazza. H P.s. ENGLAND!!! ENGLAND!!! ENGLAND!!!

White4 turn back at ya and I must go to bed as just come back from the theatre and it is late here. BTW another bloody HMG jammed and once again you are getting off lightly. Those damn Poles in the factory sabotaging our weapons. Please leave some wine in the village as my men will need a drink. H

White4 so I guess playing with Greens is new to you? I await the next installment of gerbil death on the mountain. I hope I manage to get an X down the T of your newly seen Y. I am a bit miffed that I have lost my first Y. I see that those Frogs have learnt the art of laying. H P.s. If I get unjammed you will be in real trouble!!! P.p.s Send me a turn I need a fix...

You were right White4 that could be a crucial turn. It did not go as well as hoped for but I am sure it woke you up. My HMG Vet team Jammed after it's first burst and that saved you. Must update my AAR. Until that time I had suffered few loses but things are now getting nasty. What a game I am still shaking with the buzz. H

Hmmm is he bluffing or double bluffing... Hmmmm what to do... Hmmmm NP about turns RW I will send and wait whenever you get a chance. I am still trying to get to grips with a certain mountain. H

Not a good turn on the moutain lost X for a trade with a Y. Not sure if the trade was worth it, but X lasted longer than expected. Turn back at ya White4 and waiting on "Another Day". Hmmm now what shall I do with the poles... H

Morning chaps, JK I see you are close to the edge, but not over it. I can understand people getting nervous but you have not given anything away. Fire on the Mountain has my full attention and I have sent my turn back to W4. It has me on the edge of my seat and since losing the Maus I am not sure what the outcome will be. Jazza has the next turn of Another Day. I presume someone who designed that game has a dry sense of humour. As for the others nothing oseen of them except that I really do have to stop dithering on what to do with my approach with the wolf. He is a cunning cunning person and I need to have a cunning plan which Baldrick would be proud of. Perhaps some turnip soup is in order. H

Hi Redwolf, Just because you did not get a response does not mean he has dropped out. We know that one of our group is on holiday until next week. It is possible he is on holiday and should be given at least a week to reply if not two weeks. In the UK and Europe we get more holiday than you and for some 5 weeks is not unusual. I know you poor buggers are lucky to get two weeks.. H P.s. I promise to do your turn this weekend, honest. P.P.S White4 the turn you sent was just fine and I have sent back my next installment of running up cliffs.

Phewww my Bats are safe and still good to play cricket with. I am just getting into the game with White4 and I want more... Send a turn soon. I am avoiding Redwolf and will do the turn soon. I have just started the game with Jazza and see he has sent me the first video. I intend to watch that ASAP when I get home from work... H

Bloody hell I am still learning... Thxs for that Pond Scum... Every day I get better and better.. H

Yes he must be because the real Ozzie can not operate a TV / video recorder let alone a game of CM. If I am wrong then god help my bats.... H

MD will you stop taunting people with how quickly you can finish!!! You keep getting my dander up dear boy... H P.s. Has JK Rocket man found his favorite toy yet?

White4, Back your way... Bugger Damn Italian tanks, great shapes but reverse is where I thought forward should be. Please run out of artillery shells soon. Best Regards mountain boy.... H

Good Morning Chaps... MD you might not want to say as much as you have as it has now peeked my interest in that game. This could of course be all bluff and there is a thin line which we must be careful to not cross. BTW can you give me some advice on Maus handling? Those mountains are a bit steep and I have yet to reach the road. Redwolf I am searching for ways to dent the wolf. The next turn of fire on the Mount was sent this morning and we have yet to really get into it. H

Hi, FWIIW I say show screen shots if you must but lets keep people in the dark in regards to the map. I have just done my set up for Head to The Hills. Another great map and I hope a good game. The "Another Day" is a bit bland but will pose an interesting challenge. Set up done and sent. Fire on the Mountain is in progress and I wait for the return file. Fire has started and we shall see how well I do climbing hills. Polish Push is in the wings and I will look at the map during the week. Sorry Red Wolf but I need to give you 110% attention. St Mere Eglise was sent on Friday and no file back as of yet. Have a good day and I am off to bed... Cheers H

Right I need sleep, those damn mountains have addled my brain... The first two set ups have been done and sent out for St Mere Eglise and Fire on The Mount. White4 and Cogust let me know if you have not yet got them? I am off to bed and look forward to seeing more superb maps on the marrow as these are the only two I have seen so far. Night folks H P.s. It goes without saying thanks lads for these games. The Brief for Fire on the Mount is one of the best I have ever read. The game promises to be awesome and I hope I live through it. :eek: Some interesting challenges ahead.

Hi Swamp, To answer your question regarding ROW Scenarios. The last ROW the games were pre built scenarios with all forces selected by the designer. The games were not always balanced but they were sheer fun and frustration as you did not know what the other player had and where he might show up. Some games had reinforcements appearing in odd spots and the scenarios really tested your ability to cope with what you were given. All the games were based on real life battles and that gave you some clue as to what you would be up against. The new games might not be like that, it is also said that there wll be some badly unbalanced games in the deck. In those games your ability to deal with a crap hand will be tested and compared to everyone else with that naff hand. The Nabala system ensures that if you do well (comparatively) with that naff hand then you will score well. Choosing forces is an art and playing with what you have a different skill. I a sure you will do well either way. H
