Summertime...And The Peng Challenge Is Easy...
Soddball replied to Boo Radley's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
You paid $1,500.00 for a new computer? Jeez. The sales staff must have been passing around the lubricant as they saw you walk in the door. -
I played a combined arms Russian attack against CMPlayer and he won as Italians on defence. The Italians can win, but it takes a player with more braincells than Keke (although it should be pretty easy to find a player with greater than 0 braincells, apart from amongst the cretins of The Brood).

I would have said that it was pretty good news against the Hetzer, Jpz-IV, Jagdpanther, Panther, etc. I'm happy to trade a few mm at close ranges and against flat armour angles, since any compentent German opponent will try to keep the range as long as possible and look for hull-down and angle shots.

A couple of threads ago, he was posting rants on the forum about how his thread had disappeared onto Page 2, when in actual fact we were onto page 2 of the new thread and accelerating fast. There is a good possibility that, of all our planet's remarkable creations, only lichen is a slower thinker than MasterGoodale.

All my turns have been shipped this morning - whilst the sun is out and my wench is sunning herself in the garden, here am I stuck inside sending turns. Prinz Eugen has sent the setup to me - I am russkies on attack, presumably against the finns. Death approaches him with nasty squeaky bits attached. Keke and I are both hoping that this nasty night battle will be over soon. Yuckity yuck. Snooker is whining some whinishness which is of little import - soon he, too, will be dancing the dance of the wives. PlateCommander has reshipped the setup of Kneiber Dam to me. He is lucky enough to play the germs in this one. Gaylord Focker has taken time away from boring us stupid on the forum to send me an email telling me he's managed to kill our ongoing game - so can we start again. To be honest, I can't object, since the 'billiard table attack' I was enduring was spectacularly dull. Wallybob and I are just about to start going at it. Mike the Wino is trying to break the chains of wifedom. He should be so lucky. If you ain't 'ad one from me, it means you ain't sent one!! BREAKING NEWS - Goodale has failed to send me a turn. Go on, look surprised - I dare ya! :mad: :mad: :mad:

My 22,000 point scenario, Alpine Summer, is looking for a pair of volunteers to suffer it. It's a Russian assault with regimental sized forces against a German force holed up in a valley. I had a blast playtesting it and left a trail of smouldering armour and heaps of artillerised bodies. I'm assembling another couple of scenarios but nothing to choose from apart from Forward Recon, (still being playtested, 1,000 points total), Inferno, Kneiber Dam and the beta version of Cheery Waffles. Take your pick. Turns out when I get a chance. I am being force-fed culture this evening so no beer and wanking for me.

As a matter of fact, I'm still waiting on a turn from you, so if you're bored, that turn would be nice.

Need some help in a june ´41 scenario

I have a metric buttload of games running, more than I ever expected to have to fret about. Grog Dorosh has kindly reminded me that I owe him a turn from February. Sheesh. You'd have thought he would let it lie, but no. MassaGutBurble, that weasel-whipping pig-fellator, is so close to defeat I can already feel the woody. I have worked out that he now needs 1,000 points of flag captures or inflicted casualties to achieve a draw. Tee hee hee! No chance, DeadBoil. Your infantry suck, even those ones you're trying to sneak round behind me. Snogarock continues to confound in this arctic bitchfest he calls a setup. He has been extra-gamey by picking tanks which bog in deep snow whilst my tanks glide (or at least they did, so they glid) over the snow like they're on the piste - which is exactly what I'm on. Kranky is proving a distressing opponent. I hate night battles, I hate random maps, and I hate night battles on random maps. This is all, quite definitively, someone else's fault. No other biatches have sent me turns.

Gun damage on tanks? You Crazy?
Soddball replied to Patton21's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Don't think of it as '20mm cannon round punctures barrel of Tiger'. Think of it as '100 cannon rounds bounce off front of Tiger, shattering gun sights' - which in this case, is probably what it is. The manual does state that 'gun damage' does not just include damage to the gun barrel. You should use onboard mortars to deal with any dug-in flak guns which are causing you grief, rather than risking a tank to do that job. -
Hey!! It gets better when the reinforcements turn up! I nearly tiddled myself laughing when I put this scenario together, I can tell you. When you consider that I knocked this one up over a drunken weekend (story of my life) and that the true inspiration only came at 2am after a lock-in, when I could no longer talk or focus - you will realise that even Inferno borders on the sane when compared to Cheery Waffle. I look forward to completing it with valuable feedback from those of The Brood whose crania do not explode. Turns to follow this evening to my opponents and to my new wife, MasterGoodale, who even now teeters on the brink of total wifedom.

Any chance we can get a CMX2 bone?
Soddball replied to ColumbusOHGamer's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I would wrap a slice of lemon around it, and then beat my brain out, so that I knew what a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster was like. -
The Scenario Depot : where is it ??
Soddball replied to Maj Soshtokovich's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Them thar links both work fine for me, Adm. Keth. Thanks for all your hard work on the Scenario Depot. I know we all think the same, even if you don't hear those words too often. -
mechanics of CMBB ??
Soddball replied to Charlie Co 2nd /8th's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
If I was a potential buyer, I would ask: "How does the game play? What makes it good?" If I was looking to ask a stoopid question which isn't relevant to the quality of the game, I would ask the one at the top of the page. It almost smacks of someone who already knows the answer and is looking for something to bleat about. -
The Return Of The SEPTIC Cup
Soddball replied to Ex Bellator's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
He lives! Good to see you made it - shame you're too far away for a convenient bevvy now. Boo hiss to that - although Teddy Windsor is now within gobbing distance, so if you would be kind enough to gob all over him, I would be most appreciative. -
Any chance we can get a CMX2 bone?
Soddball replied to ColumbusOHGamer's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
If you get the CMX2 bone, can I have the gold brick - once you've washed it, obviously.
