No. I think the entire quote, the second half of which you omitted, provides the best example of what we mean by the difference is between strategy and tactics I've ever seen. I am very proud to have been the originator of it. BTW, logistics is an integral part of strategy, which may explain your confusion. Or it might just be all the glue you sniffed in junior high.

Of course I'm looking for an easy kill. After the embarrassing beatings I administered to these maggots in the BDLRM2 last year, some of them seem reluctant to try again. The fact that you speak English at all shows your clear superiority to the <font size=1>penguins</font>. They appear to speak in some gibberish combining the worst of Australia and Minnesota. :eek: I've found my favorite web site right here. What a great way to start the morning!

All right, it's time for haiku corner! Azaleas blossom, Water splashing in the sun: Canuck maggots freeze Thank you very little.

Say something political? No chance; I don't feel like getting banned. :eek: :eek: I did want to ask a couple of questions about your sig. After some research into the matter at hand, I discovered Mr. Emrys is absolutely correct. —Bergerbitz Do you even remember what this was all about, and how long ago it happened? :confused: Strategy is buying a rubber before going out on a date. I think in this example you have confused strategy with logistics. Would you agree?

<font size=5 font color=yellow>Good Morning Cheery Waffles!</font> Snarker, what's the big idea of using a <font size=1>penguin</font> trap in this thread? The Lady Moraine has again showed her superiority to most other <font size=1>penguins</font> by sidestepping it. I'm guessing Mace is still in there looking for his free TNT. We've never had to recruit. There's an unending supply of hardy people standing ready to protect the BFC forums from MasterGoodale (the maggot) if he shows his snout again. Unlike a certain "other thread" on the forum, this one has always been open to all comers, and especially to inexperienced PBEM opponents. For as it is written in the Book of Goodale (the maggot), Chapter 8, verse 22 "GRARRGHRAARGHRARRGH!!! Do ye not know that ye are all Cheery Waffles?" You can look it up.

Why do I have this mental picture of Beavis and Butthead going fishing? :eek: I guess I'm relieved that they knew the name of someplace outside the US.

Fortunately for me, that statement is not entirely accurate.

<font size=5>Good Friday morning, Cheery Waffles!!</font> Any of you following the thread in the GF about the guys in New Hampshire who say they dug up some old currency? I swear if it's not MasterGoodale (the maggot), it must be members of his inbred family. No offense, Kitty. Thank you. It's a gift.

Great news, Axe! Your mom's recovering, and Kitty has allowed her Valkyrie persona to slip for an instant. Talk about your win - win! Don't worry, Kitty, we won't let your jewel-encrusted maggot of a dad know about your weak moment. He'd probably cut you out of the will if he found out. You wouldn't want to miss out on inheriting the Goodale collection of mold and vomit and ants, would you? :eek: :eek: Mace, my monitor is in the shop until sometime next week, so be patient. I'll get back to slaughtering your German probe when I can see what's going on. Somehow fighting battles with all of the black images showing up as bright green wasn't fun anymore. :mad: :mad: :mad: Luckily the nearest Viewsonic service center is only about 15 miles away.

Axe, Becky and I will keep your mom in our thoughts. I figure any woman who put up with an oversized maggot like you for a son is strong enough to come through any kind of medical problem with flying colors. Our best to Paula and your family as well. As for you, I'd like to collect all of the angry molten TNT in the world and blow you up real good!

Is that because Canada only has a few miles of paved roads? I imagine the Canadian Dogsled Association has lots more work. So three hours of incisive questions like "Want a job, eh?" That would wear anyone out. That's just cruel. :mad: Just getting into the fireworks spirit, maggot. How's your PBEM schedule right now? Ready for another round of CMBB or CMAK? Oh, and thanks for the kind words Sergei!! Anything for our friends in the Arctic Circle. You haven't seen that uber-Finn Keke's carcass around anywhere, have you?

Day after day of sunshine and warm temperatures, with cool clear nights. Low humidity. Pleasant breezes.

Come on you pitiful slugs, don't all of you slither away. PS. I managed to lose all of my e-mail contact information switching to Windows XP, so I only have what's in your profiles. If you use a different address for turns, send me an e-mail with the correct address.

Is that the one with the Allied ACs starting on the road in full view of the German tanks? It's been a while, this may have been NZ troops instead of Americans. My Shermans took a worse beating from the German infantry than from the German armor. :eek: :eek:

The truth always stings, doesn't it, Lady semi-Justicarette? I think Elvis is the only <font size=1>penguin</font> who really communicates in English. JasonC does make winning at CM sound so easy. Unfortunately, you also have to stop your opponent from doing all of those same simple things to YOU! :eek: :eek:

If I remember the scenario, without the Shermans there's not much chance for the American infantry to root out the Germans. There were lots of walls for defenders to hide behind and cut infantry to shreds. :eek: I didn't mean to imply dalem was one of the moderators. He was the only forum member to express his disagreement to a "Senior Member" who started with a personal insult right off the bat. I really appreciated that, because dalem and I have our disagreements before, too. One of the forum moderators started the thread that I made my first post in. I think I'll try attending white-supremacist militia meetings and KKK rallies from now on; I'd expect to meet a more open-minded group of people there. :eek: :eek: :eek:

So nobody ever explained to you that charging Shermans have about a ZERO percent chance of hitting anything, while the German tanks can sit still and calmly pick them off? I think I played that scenario against the suave Teddy Windsor. It's a tough battle for the Americans. Think my new GF thread about robotic camel jockies can avoid the dreaded padlock of doom for a few hours? I finally posted a few times on the linked political forum. BIG MISTAKE!! Dalem is the voice of moderation over there. The forum administrators will not tolerate any views that don't mirror their own. I can live without their personal abuse, and I'm sure they'll be happier without me, too. :eek: :eek:

<font size=4 font color=yellow>Good Friday Morning!!</font> Nice to see our favorite Kitty sneaking in again. Were your parents big Gunsmoke fans, naming you for Miss Kitty? Well.... we could always start developing our own, but it needs to be a simple system that doesn't involve millions of support rules (unlike another campaign Kitty and I were particating in) :mad: </font>

<font size=5 font color=white>Good Morning, Cheery Waffles!!</font> Hey, are any of you maggots interested in playing Jason C's Kursk campaign? I thought it might be fun to actually get to do something as collaborators instead of as opponents. Let the Cheery Waffles rule the battlefield! I just reread the post on the CMBB forum. He wants the battles played TCP instead of PBEM. Never mind. [ April 14, 2005, 10:48 AM: Message edited by: Dave H ]

<font size=6>RIP Jim!!</font> I had the pleasure of playing Jim Boggs in several PBEMs, and he always brought a smile to me with his wit and sometimes with his tactics. We also corresponded at length during his wife's illness, when he stopped playing to take care of her. Although I never had the chance to meet him in person, I counted him a friend and always will. Jim Boggs, you Waffle maggot, may your TNT always be molten and angry.

<font size=5 font color=blue>Good Evening, Waffles!!</font> Can somebody tell me why the threads I start in the General Forum tend to get locked so fast? Do they just attract the "wrong" kind of people? I think I could start a thread saying the sky is dark here right now and somebody would get nasty about it. Not that any of you maggots would ever do anything like that.

I thought you were still getting pounded in Fiefdom. So you finally ducked out, eh? I'm waiting for my new computer to arrive. It should be here in a week or so. Until that blessed event I'm not starting any PBEMs. Lord knows at the rate Mace sends turns I won't receive anything from him before my new toy arrives. :mad:

<font size=5 font color=green>Good Morning, you Popeless maggots</font> As a former Catholic, I'd like to register my support for the uber-<font size=1>penguin</font> Seanachai in his quest to become the new Pope. I figure he's as well-qualified as any of the other candidates, and he probably has fewer skeletons in his closet. Who better than a <font size=1>penguin</font> to complete John Paul II's legacy of making the Roman Catholic church a cult? :eek: You're dreaming. Have a vat of wine and go back to sleep. You're welcome.

You can always tell when Fiefdom is up and running. All the Waffles are too engrossed to have anything to say here. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Stop it, you're making me blush. Anyone ready for a PBEM sometime? Now that taxes are sort of finished and Dominions 2 is on hiatus, it appears I've got time for some CMBB or CMAK. That doesn't mean I plan on going completely berserk like Soddball and creating battles that will take years to complete. Some nice unbalanced battle in the 1,500 to 2,500 point range will be perfect. I've got a couple that rune sent me a while back. I'll play either side. Come on, maggots, opportunity is knocking on those empty skulls of yours!

I could tell you all about latitude, but it wouldn't help. You'd still be living in the middle of a glacier. Unlike you, I'm having to endure temperatures in the low 70's and a cloudless blue sky today. I wish our neighbors would finish cutting their lawns and making so much racket! How am I supposed to enjoy my nap with the windows open and the breeze blowing through the house? Quiet down, maggots!!
