Great screen shots!!! We have some talented people playing... H

The next round should be played with 1.02 and I can see no reason why it would not be. Wake up KR and send me a turn. As for T. I am thinking of launching a search party in Finland. H

Hi Redwolf, My point is that some players might not have the intention or ability to complete no matter what the deadline. By extending it we might be in the same position at the next deadline. I was not "having a go" at any player just making an observation. H

Hmmm an extension. I know Kingfish did this with the best intention and thankyou. I also do not think this will help for people who should have been working to completing by the original deadline. Hmmmm Ahh well we shall see. H

Rear Guard has been finished and while it was not quite the way I would have wanted it I respect the wishes of the Cpl. Thxs Cpl. We will wait until we can discuss this in the open. As for T, if you are out there we really need an indication that you will complete the games? MD / Bertram are you still engaged with T? I do hope he has not gone AWOL and require a Replacement. KR is still keeping the turns comming so I have no fear about not finishing that game. Tuomas are you out there??? H

Len was unlucky with the random mularky and he got Green troops. Lots of them mind you.... Anyway I will do a small write up if I have time. I have offered to replay Len with exact same settings and troop qualities so Len can try the Soviets against the Germans. Not sure how I can be sure of the troop setting in the game but we can work something out? It would be nice to re-use the map but I have not played with those settings to know if that is possible? H

Some you lose some you give up on.... How will you learn if you give up on a game 3 turns in? Sure you had bad luck losing two tanks out of three but by playing on you might have learnt more about how to defend with what you had left. Luck for sure comes into it, that has not changed. Anyway, don't give up you are far better than that and I still remember our first Meeting Engagement with CMBO where your Hetzer was taken by my lucky Stuart front on.... H

The game result is in and I would thank Len for giving a quick turn around for the game. A true gent and he had a tough challenge. The result is 76% to 24% and he lost 407 men to my 87. This is in the main due to his force collasping at the end and my vicious mopping up of his men as they ran away. H

I am glad poor Len has not got access to such technology... The game is near it's end and Len is about to sink as I close the noose around him. A brave effort but his Stugs later rather than sooner meet their maker and his infantry have been held at bay by my SMG's. A good fight and the result will be posted soon. H

Len and I our playing a game of Russian roulette with our tanks... As I am Russian I expect to win... 2 turns to go plus whatever the random factor throws in... H

Len has just been a tad unlucky and I hope it continues.... My T34's managed to escape the clutches of his Zombie Stug which has taken a side penertration but still moves... Helllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppppp H

ROFL... Are you in trouble... As I am an as I am about to lose all my T34's... H

Great pictures I can see I am going to have to learn how to set up a place to display my war trophys... Len I am home and have sent your turn. H

Hi, some concerns.... It is the 1st of March and time is ticking away. I am not sure of the exact deadline but I am assuming that we have March to complete the games. (And maybe a bit of April) :confused: So with this in mind.... Xmas with KR is slowly moving and we are on 17 out of 38 turns. This means we have to do 21 turns in 31 days if the end is in April. Or 63 file swaps at an average of 2 a day? Rear Guard with the Cpl has been sluggish and we are at turn 20 of 40. Again we need to be turning out close to two file swaps a day. The King with T is on turn 15 out of 28. So we have 13 to do and just over a file a day to swap during March. I do hope you guys can keep this pace up as the last few weeks have been a tad slow. I hope holidays etc... will not cut into this time? I do not want this to be the first tourney where I do not complete all my games and I am sure I am worrying unduly. I look forward to a pick up in pace soon. H

With Great honour and dignity.... As for the AAR maybe... H

Len is still going strong and we have maybe 9 turns to go depending on the random clock. His trackless Stug is still active and Molotovs have yet to persuade his crew to leave the safety of their iron coffin. My KV has been taken out very easily and I need to do some research as to what the Germans get in this time period. It seems that they have an edge in technology. Len has wisely gone for lots and lots of infantry and I am running out of bullets to shoot them all. H

I Say I Say I Say... What do you call a Stug with no Tracks?

How are those ROW III Turns coming along Kanonier? (Who says I'm not persistant). Regards Holien.

Sooner or later we all meet our end... Pity he put paid top one of mine first... H

Don't feel sorry for him!!! He has Hell Stugs. They can not be killed by normal shells and you need silver coated ones which I am in short supply. Also I have Soviet crews that will leave a tank just because the track broke. H

Hmmm The Grinch has woken up and sent me his weekly file. I hate snow.... As for the Cpl he is licking his imaginery wounds and I await him to chase me some more some time soon. As for T well the King is out to lunch and I await more turns. The SEPTIC is keeping me busy and I am discovering the joys of Stugs.... H

BLOODY HELL IT IS STILL MOVING... 13 more hits several partial penetrations. A track hit (the second) and on the first round full penetrates... IT STILL MOVES... I think he has voodoo... This is a fantastic game (CMBB) I wish I had the Stug on my side... As for the Molotovs they illuminate it quite nicely but no joy yet. I guess I am going to have to hide.... Run away! Run Away.... H

Has anyone been told anything? H

WOW!!! The battle is not over and has just had its most intense minute. He has one hellava a lucky STUG. I presume it is a Stug as I have heard of their bounce factor, and now I have seen it... Hmmm I might just lose this... At least my SMG's are keeping his foot sloggers running... Heh Heh Heh.... Now I wonder if Molotovs work on Stugs? H P.s I re watched the Vid and counted over 21 hits with many more misses and it still appears to be driving? I do hope the death cloclk is upon it!!! Please Please Please..... Video available for anyone who wants a laugh and will not tell Len the pwd... [ February 25, 2003, 05:39 PM: Message edited by: Holien ]

Contact first blood has been drawn.... Len has gone for trucks.... I will try and be gentle but this is difficult.... Much like a school kid in a sweet shop.... H
