  1. I recognise there is a huge gulf in perceptions on this subject between some in the States and some in Europe. It has to come down to familiarity and access to these items. I appreciate it's quite acceptable in those families and/or communities which have opportunity to play with these toys but over this side of the Water gun ownership and access is so restrictive it just seems "ugggh". I would genuinely like to hear the opposite side of this argument so if anyone of a shooting disposition cares to sound off please do.

    Mmmmmm. Navel ships.

    Well if you like big arty there is one battle 'Hell at Waldam Beach' which gives you plenty of 203mm and 240mm to pound the shore with... :eek: ... but I can tell you in playtesting if you don't use smoke, you will die on da beach!!! :cool:

    That is all...

  3. PBEM constitutes 100% of my game play in CMBB and CMAK. I never went back to CMBO after the others in the series were released. For me it would be terminal to lose PBEM. An alternative form of asynchronous play would be acceptable but it would need to be there for me to use. The we-go system that these games have pioneered is the "hook" that got me addicted to these awesome games. I adore the replays I get back from my opponents. It is fantastic to be able to watch and replay the actions and incidents over and over again.

    Watch, replay, enjoy, think, plot. That's what PBEM format gives me. Oh, that and the privilege of having made the aquaintance of many fine and knowledgeable gamers spanning the globe, in completely different time zones, that I could never, ever, have played against without the PBEM/asynchronous play option.

    Are you talking about what I've always understood to be called APCR (Armour Piercing Composite Rigid) rounds? Are HVAP and APCR one and the same or have I got my terminology way off the mark?
