MasterGoodale's Thread of Cheery Waffle

“But I like it here. Oh, I like it a lot!" said the Cat in the Hat to Goodale the Sot. "I will NOT go away. I do NOT wish to go” -

MasterGoodale's Thread of Cheery Waffle

Sorry about Boo. He is the ugly hillbilly cousin that we try to keep locked up in a dark room, but he occasionally gets out. Usetabe that he kept to himself in that old house at the end of the block, but ever since that unfortunate incident with Bob Ewell, he has has decided (unfortunatly) that the rest of the world should be graced with his presence. Again, sorry. -
The "debate" about CMBB's Infantry Modeling
Marlow replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Related to Dale's question, I have occasionally seen infantry not fire (with good ammo supply) where they did have a target (albeit not a great one). Is there a firepower rating or a combination of firepower and cover where the AI decides that there is no good reason to waste ammo? [ November 19, 2002, 04:37 PM: Message edited by: Marlow ] -
Nice try MrSprky, but need I remind you that III). You created the battle. 3(a)(2)©. You had access to two of the four flags with covered approaches, and in fact got to both of them before I did. It just so happens I managed to evict you unceremoniously from one of them. Alpha). I had green, worn our troops, you had fresh regular robust Soviet collective farm workers. Fini). You lost – You suck. What is your excuse going to be after I kick your spotty arse with the “French of the Ostfront”? Other notables: Wildman is losing on two fronts. In the West, he is busy recreating Custer’s last stand with his Second Armor Division boys with Kampgrouppe Pieper in the role of the Injuns. In the East he seems to be cowering in the woods, as I’ve not seen hide nor hair of him. Geek Fental is going to snatch defeat from the arms of victory. How many armored cars can you lose to rifle grenades? I think you are going for a record. Panzer Leader is having me assault across a river against troops dug into heavy buildings on a map of his creation. This would make my soon to be victory so much sweeter, but it is only Pe El. Just started with Jo Xia and Sir Alphabet. The Earless One remains on the hitlist.

I think your tactical genius is challenged enough. -
MasterGoodale's Thread of Cheery Waffle
Marlow replied to Abbott's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Dear MasterGoodale, I am having my family over for Thanksgiving dinner, and am having everyone bring a dish. I have asked my sister-in-law to bring the rolls (since she can’t cook her way out of a paper bag), but she insists on bringing her turkey jello surprise instead. My wife says that it would be extremely rude if I I don’t at least try the jello abomination. Now my question is if she does bring this dish, should I try it, or do a suicide sneak to the door (even though I am likely to become exhausted). Thanks -
Does your Peng Challenge Thread Tire Too Easily?

No intrusion, welcome. Now about the one you dragged in after you, I'm not so sure. -

True enough, but I've heard the practice originally started in the Old Dominion.</font> -
Give the WWII Russians some credit. Prior to the Stalin Purges, they had a fine professional military. Also by the end of the war, the weight of their arty outclassed even the US. Fire control was unsophisiticated, but made up for in mass. The individual soldier was, by the end of the war, probably on par with the average German, British, or American soldier. Their late war tanks were also as good or better from a firepower and protection point of view compared to U.S. tanks, just not as refined or reliable.

He's so drunk that he's not even doing it right. The sheep's back legs are supposed to be inside of the cowboy boots so that the sheep doesn't get away. Or so I've been told by many a Minnesotan. -

Bad things come to those who wait. You are just going to have to be patient for the butt-kicking you so richly deserve. Work first, then your demise tonight. I've not yet had a go at any of Seanachai's misbegotten spawn yet (not counting Hiram who went into hiding rather than finish our game). This should be fun. -
Not so much coincidence as the German Military intel. service being absolutely awful. Probably the single worst element in the entire German military establishment.
