Dog sniffs autumn breeze. Thunder rumbles along the trail. Bright flower blossoms. Nice work. You win by combaiku.

This is not strictly true. days begin to chill night of the refresh monkeys cool totally sweet edited to say the above is my CMBB haiku, not CMBO, and to request a new CMBB feature, that being, after losing, if you write a gnarly enough haiku, you get a draw or minor victory.

HAHAH, That was a cool scenario, and by cool, I mean totally sweet. That was my fav SL scenario. I have it in the basement. I did make a CMBO scenario for it. Tried to simulate ruskies by whacking all the 'toon HQs. It was ok, but not great. My guess is I will be converting the exact moment after CMBB is finished installing.

Dius Irae: Turn 11 now. They lobbed some 2 or 3" haggis at me for a turn or 2. But now.. now the going gets tough. Arch Enemies: Opponent away 'til the 28th, at which time I will CRUSH him. Mechanized Bushmen: been 17 days since contact with opponent. emails unanswered. anyone seen jdejohn @ someplace.com? April's Fool: This one is still over, except the nightmares and shaking.

I havent heard from Jerry in 2 weeks, 1 day now. If you do here from him, please let me know, or post here, or somefink. [ August 25, 2002, 06:23 PM: Message edited by: 86smopuim ]

desant? Whats that mean? russian partisans? That implies indiginous troops Why would their be russian partisans in finland?

Still no contact from MechB, thats 10 days now. Too bad, I was just about to open up a big ol' can of whoop ass. CMBB is coming ever so sooner, so 125 days seems... a bit long. Can we tcp/ip one evening to gain some time?

Still true. Can't find a post in this thread that notes he is away. Doesn't mean I just didnt find it. jdejohn, are u out there? At the *current* rate of turn arround, it will take a ~125 days to finish Dies Ireas. [ August 20, 2002, 09:10 PM: Message edited by: 86smopuim ]

April Fool's: This ones still finished. Kinda glad about that. Ouchie. Mech Bushmen: Last heard from opponent 8/12/02. Arch Enemies: Opponent away 'til 08/28/02. Dies Ireas: Turn 7 or so. Progress slow, but sure.

out 'til sunday.

I need typing lessons.

Damn, ok, not sure where I am lemme go check ArchEnemies. Turn 7. No email action here. Theres probably a good reason for it which I cannot recall. Its still silent, spooky and dark. Opponent, are u out there? Mechanized Bushmen. Turn 13. No email action here. Theres probably a good reason for it which I cannot recall. Tanks are starting to drop like flies, troops getting mauled all over the place. Opponent, are u out there? Dies Ireas. Turn 6. No email action here. Theres probably a good reason for it which I cannot recall. I advance rapidly an unhindered. Opponent, are u out there? April Fools. Game over. Not sure how I pulled this off, but as stated above, it ended in a 42-56 axis victory. A crushing defeat, no, but surely humiliating to my worthy opponent.

You will end up paying money. I give it a 99.99% chance, due to the way domain names work. expect $33-50.

Are they jpegs or .gifs, doesnt matter. Making thumbnails is easy. thumbnail maker from tucows.com You can try that. dont know if its adware or what ever. tucows has lotsa thumbnail makers, for many OSes.

"Really slow"? What type of 'puter do you have? What do you mean "slow"?

Critisism is the best for of comment,a s it can only make your site better. Dont be discouraged by this isnt right, that sucks, etc etc. My $.02: Maybe thumbnail them screen shots, with an enlarge link? I dunno. "next", "back" buttons on java applet dont work? screen shot page has no link back to other pages on the site, same for mods page. Is that a period map in the background? If not, make it one. I'm to ignoratn to know the diffference. I like it though. For links page, put battlefront for now, with link to battle front press page and screen shiots?

:confused: What did I do THIS time ... </font>

Traject0ry, doan' you be talking no smack 'bout nobody before this tournament is over. I would hate for you to get banned. Ok, where the hell am I again... Ummm.... Arch Enemies, turn 5, dark and spooky still. April Fools, Turn 22, praying for it to all just end. Dies Ireas, Turn 5, I think I saw a scotsman on the far hill mooning me, the bastard. Mech Bushman, turn 12, I think brutal close quarters combat is not far off.

where the hell am I? Hmm, let's see here... April Fools, turn 15, intimidated Dies Ireas, turn 4, silence Mechanized bushmen, turn 10, heating up Arch Enemies, turn 3, dark and spooky

I think I already asked this one, and its probaly way too late. Seems simple enough though... Move the GO button away from the rest of the camera controls so it can't accidentally be pressed by people afflicted with various forms of palsy. I can't say how many critical moves have been missed because the close placement to the UP camera, thereby causing me to press GO by accident.

ATG and TRPs, how does this work? Does the tank have to be "close" to the TRP, or right on top of it? aside: can on board mortars target TRPs even if not in LOS? Also, if yer gun takes out just one tank, its worth it point wise and tactically. Most guns cost < 75$, most tank cost > 100$. My guns usually get atleast one tank.

mech bushmen ~ turn 8 april fools ~ turn 8 dies ireas ~ turn 3 arch enemies ~ turn 2

Mechnaized Bushemn smope-v-jdejohn umm, turn 1 I think April Fools smope-v-nigel Turn 2 or 3 Dies Isomfink smope-v-ezp setup sent Arch Enemies smope-v-desm setup done.

I hope I have this right: smope-v- Mechnaized Bushemn smope-v-jdejohn April Fools smope-v-nigel Dies Isomfink smope-v-ezp Arch Enemies smope-v-desm if so, all my setup are sent out.

1) Some tips here: anthology of useful posts and here: th forums read all the strategy and tactics articles. 2) versus Human can be 10 x more challenging, 10 times more fun. I can't go back to the AI. Its just not the same. 3) PBEM or IP is a matter of taste. You'll have to fine out for your self. I prefer TCP/IP by far. PBEM too slow for my pace. 4) be prepared to get your arse kicked time and again at first when playing versus human. Its a new game. there are chat room to hook up with people for tcp/ip games Tournament house <-- Beware the newbie sharks! Combat Mission HQ Band of brothers
