["Too little , too late"]

Have just been playing an interesting TCP/IP scenario, named above, got to a really tense situation at turn 17 when the connection was lost, tried the autosave file, crashed at the same point, tried saving the file under a different name, crashed at the same point, tried

loading from opponents end, same result. An interesting scenario, but a disappointing result.Ideas anyone? Does this happen often?

[Question: Have U ever discovered a war artifact on a WWII battlefield?]

While serving with NATO in the early 60's, my unit carried out military exercises in the Reichwald Forest area, the scene of Canadian actions. The field kitchen arrangement was a narrow trench with a grill laid over it, a large kerosine burner was placed at each and the "dixies" were placed on the grill. It had been pissing down for days, everything was soaked through, while waiting to be served, one bloke was idly kicking at the ground about 6" away from the trench, looking down he realised he had uncovered something, closer inspection revealed an unexploded grenade! The area rapidly cleared, except for the cook, who protested that it wasn't compo rations again! After being advised of the situation from behind the security of a nearby tree, he took off! Engineers were called, who disposed of the thing. It seems that it had no pin,no lever and had a fuze. Another item dug up was a Bren magazine with three rounds in it and a bullet hole through the side. The remains of slit trenches could be seen, and when we dug in we sometimes found we were digging in old trenches, it was quite eerie. I hope the Canadians were not plagued as we were by bloody great big orange slugs, they had enough to worry about.

I'll be up for a game anytime, but I must warn you I am developing into a congenital loser. I just wanna kill somebody! Anybody!!! :mad: :mad:

[did we really have great generals?]

Having recently watched "Hell in the Pacific" , and the film "Patton", it made me wonder, would Patton have been so enamoured of war had he served in the Pacific?

I know the US of A is the centre of the universe and every place has its own EST :confused: :confused: but the centre of the world is GMT and CMBO is international, lets get with it!!!

[The Newbie Tournaments II]

How does one change from PBEM to TCP/IP :confused: :confused:

[How much are YOU upgrading for CM:BB?]

Excuse my hysterical laughter

But all this sounds like 'mens room' talk, like

" I can get further up the wall than you"

[The Newbie Tournaments II]

Was the choice Of "Medium Rare" for a Sydneysider just pure coincidence, given the current situation?? :eek: :eek:

The original CHAD was around about the same time as Kilroy

[Interesting Question for the Board: How old are you?]

Does anyone remember CHAD,
