Hey Treeburst, don't spoil my excuses. When I have lost all games, I can proceed to whining about too many games whereas the winners can go forth to wining A little update on all games as well: BLEEP killed BLEEP on BLEEP while BLEEP so BLEEP had to BLEEP.

Hang in there, you will lose soon enough. GD<hr></blockquote> Only two :eek: Hell, I'm getting my butt kicked in four, plus I am involved in two other non-tourney PBEM's. Losing them as well, I suspect this playing vs Humans is slightly harder than beating the AI, or have I misunderstood something {Edit due to dyslexia *mumble, grumble*} [ 12-03-2001: Message edited by: vskalex ]</p>

Bumpetibump! STILL not any lifesigns from GhostDog. Anyone else in section primera?

Or are you saving me to be the last piece of cake in the tourney? Ari<hr></blockquote> Sorry mate, pure mistake from my side. i'll fix it after work, so expect a file tonite in your mail. Piece of cake, indeed

That would be your mind, trying not to join in yourself. Hence the phrase "snapped out of ones mind" [ 11-20-2001: Message edited by: vskalex ]</p>

Has anyone in section 1 heard from GhostDog? sent him a setup, about ten days ago and still no answer. The rest of the games are under way, so GhostDog - Haaaaaalllllloooooooo

Gibsonm >> Thanks! What I mostly wanted to know, is if people follow english "soccer" or Australian teams?

Not aussie at all, just a question How is the football situation down there? Everyone follow english or Aussie teams high on tthe ranks? I am, of course *said in a very dry tone* refering to football, not the eggchasing that those yanks are on about in the general forum.

Just a little bumbetibump to beat the quasi-nordics in that other thread. AND a reminder to all those in my battlegroup who yet are to answer: Bring it on! Edit due to still being HTML impaired. [ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: vskalex ]</p>

*bumpetibump* Men, start your engines! Infantry forward march!

Oh, and by the way, can you please show the way to Japan? :cool: [ 11-07-2001: Message edited by: vskalex ]</p>

We are still aiming for that. However, because of the schedule thing (which took some time) we (at least I) have to work hard until that.<hr></blockquote> Thanks! Getting cold here in the Nordic Trenches waiting for distant sound of engines starting up...

Little clarification needed: When will it start? Are we on go, or still waiting for Nablas update? Can somone please fire the green flare? oh, and *bump*

I apologise for attempting to broaden your horizons. Simply saying 'no offence' doesn't mean you aren't giving offence - it just attempts to excuse it.<hr></blockquote> Soddball, just have a look in the general forum, and you'll realise that Cubbies Phan is probably just after a flame war, and that comment was not probably seriously meant (I hope...). Anyway, today is 6th of November and we in Sweden have a flagday today, can any Non-Swedish tell why?

Ok, still being a newb regarding PBEM so here goes: 1. Does the previously mentioned battleorder still stand? Then I would be playing Heibis as the Allies, correct? 2. Regarding AAR:s: How detailed is praxis? Are we talking one page or fifty? Any examples that you can steal from Ok, let the battle commence - Bring it on!

Enough punch for a big party! Everybody's happy! ...except Winecape who's head just blew up! <hr></blockquote> See Charl? This is the kind of barbaric treatment they want to give to your splendid wine. Bah, "Sweeten the taste" - Heretic! Trust me Charl, you'll never see that kind of treatment here in Sweden where we are at least a bit more civilized Again, really overwhelmed just by the offer, a serious thank you.

Ok, what the hell. Totally unexperienced, just started fy first PBEM's. I just hope someone else do the scoring bit Oh, and Sweden for me.

Ok, this one then? Oh, you ever ruling emperors of my social life, please enlighten your uneducated masses. When will the new light emerge to engulf the ever increasing darkness that threatens us all to go back to a dull, dreary and normal life? What ever happened to the surprise that was due during october?

Ahh, the deployment of the really white überwaffe in a complete snowstorm Nah, can't see.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by l3w53r: Thing is, this is a game, and somewhat hurriedly done at that{SNIP}Theres a lot of things missing in it that could be done in real life.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Spot the contradiction? I must say that CMBO is the most realistic wargame I've ever encountered, but of course BTS cannot implement everything that can happen in a real life situation. Could you please name me one (1) game that incorporates all factions of real life?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>ps be happy you don't live here in fear of people finding out you actually are interested in History/War. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Thanks you guys, you basically used all my arguments for playing CMBO. And Mensch, my girlfriend is also german which might explain her weird reaction? And speaking of fear, hey, I live in Sweden a country that is getting so politically correct so that soon the nazis didn't exist. My main argument though, is that by playing such games as CMBO, which are based on reality, should make people more aware of what really happened and seek out more info.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by greywolf: [QB]If playing wargames actually contributed to human cruelty, then ask her if she thinks the Taliban, the Serbs in Kosovo, the Tutsi tribes in Rwanda, or basically any major attrocity in recent memory was commited by people who played, let alone had access to any type of computer war game? [QB]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, her main argument was really that you glorify the suffering of the people involved, civilians and soldiers, in ww2. My argument was that in CMBO you really want to stay away from sending your own guys to death, and that by playing you actually increase your understanding of the horror these people suffered.

No, it's not me saying that. This was a comment from my girlfriend who actually meant that by playing wargames, such as CMBO,you actually contribute to the cruelty of this world. My reply was, of course, that she was way off course and that it is people that hurt each other, not games. I then tried her to convince her about the strategic and tactic aspects of the game, meaning that you of course try to prevent your own guys from getting killed. Finally she gave in, but I'm not totally sure I convinced her 100% (women!) Now my question to you all, do you also get to hear this alot?
