  1. Get ahold of yerself, Thermo-old-dead-greek-guy.

    I know you go to Hudson High. Snap out of it, man. Tradition, and all that.

    I was ROTC myself, Armor, 16 years so far.

    Don't get mad, get even. Figger out where you can screw up the bugger. Bedford F called it "puttin the skeer on". Don't react, act.

    A...long...time ago one of my buddies did an exchange with the British Army of the Rhine. Al was running around trying to be a good platoon leader, getting into everything. Finally the Company Sergeant Major (Brit) tells him that what he is doing is Sergeants' work. Al asks what a Lieutenants' job is. The Sergeant Major quietly says "Sir, a leftenants job is to show the men how to die well."

    Make the other guy react to you. Or die nicely. Your call.

    This means hill from hades.

    Hey Wallybob :mad: , I think when I sent Did you notice if any of my units even moved?

    The last turn I got from you hit me at 5:49 PM Central time zone. Your molotov guys had just flubbed, and I had nailed your T34 with my S35. I returned the file to you as #79. Then I drank a beer and laughed everytime I reran the movie from the turn. And drank more beer. And laughed...a lot.
  3. Thanks, Lord Dragon. Otherwise we would be hearing all sorts of whiny TNT chucking, GGRRRs, and spewing of...venom.

    Oh, the humanity.

    Not only will I play MasterGoodale on this PBEM game, I taunt him with a quickbattle meeting engagement for after. I know he thinks quick battles are...beneath him. For my part, I think that defending a deathcamp stinks. That is the scenario he made for me. Don't get me wrong, I intend to win!

    [QB]I'm playing WallyBob right now in a scenario I designed and I'm playing the Russians attacking. I have no complaints so far as for the units I gave each side, but I kind of messed up on the terrain!! I can't manuever my own troops coherently!!

    QB]

    At least it is not just me that cannot manuver decently. I thought I had a wonderful mobility corridor, and it...ain't.

    Love, hugs, and GRRs and such

  5. My above post only referred to Coaxial use by a tank. Loaders, Commanders, and Half-track pintle mounts are and were notoriously innacurate. Today an M2HB machine gun (.50 Cal) on an M1 tank is accurate to 1850 Meters (tracer burnout). The same MG on a M88 recovery vehicle, or on a truck (both using a free mount) max effective is around 500 Meters. I am not sure about the range on a ground mount with tripod. Coax MG on M1 (M240) 7.62 accurate to around 900M. Loaders M240 on skate ring is pitiful. Maybe 300M. On a good day. With nobody shooting at the Loader.

    QB]

    Not correct, You have/had a seperate aiming reticle for Coaxial MG, using the Gunners' Primary Sight. German , American, and British all did. Not sure about Soviet.
  7. If I lose to Goody, I will be a laughing stock. Needless to say, failure is not an option.

    Where in the setup were the German Tactical Nukes?

    Sorry, only the Ruskies get Molten TNT. There are...interesting...things about the scenario, but I accept them. I am not too keen on the idea of defending death camps or mass graves. My Uncle helped liberate one.

    I GRR on your TNT. I also am reluctant to want molten TNT spewing forth. I am afraid it would be a whitish liquid. Read the previous posts about wiping it off of Goodys' face...makes ya wonder.

    On a more serious note, Goodale, any more word about your cat? Having three myself I understand your concerns. Best wishes for the kitty. Bad wishes for the Russian Godless Hordes.

    Later

    Sorry, forgot to thank Parabellum for his info on how to do screenshots. Thank you.

    Also forgot how to spell.
