    I beat one to death with Croda's cuddle-me-elmo doll but the rest rushed past the ticket booth without paying and appear to be trying to take up residency.

    Not only that, but we're all wearing squeeky black shoes, white socks and tremendously huge Bermuda shorts. We also tend to SPEAK LOUDLY AND SLOWLY at the local yocals in the misguided hope that we will be understood. Now show us some of your quaint traditional dances while we throw small change at you.

    Yeah, well I've read your Peng Challenge rules that you post at the beginning of all of your threads because obviously the only thing you people can retain is water.

    I understand that an outsider can't challenge a "ka-nigget, is it"? That's cute, that little Python rip-off you have going there. Someone must have suggested that to one of you.

    In any event. I really don't know who among you can be considered fair game because I have yet to find a score card in any of these forums. I possibly could've read through one of your threads, but three things stopped me.

    1) I have a life.

    B) I really couldn't be bothered.

    III) The thought of reading through several pages full of in-jokes and posts that consist mostly of quotes from other posts would be so mind-numbingly boring that I would be filled with ennui to the point where I would be forced to seek you out one by one and kill you. (So, you're welcome.)

    So, who's a fair target for a challenge? Sledge? Aussie Jeff? R_Leete? These are names I haven't seen all that much and figured that they at least must have some redeeming qualities and haven't degenerated to the point where they make Morlocks look like prep school graduates.

    So, I believe the gauntlet has been thrown down. Now it's up to one of you to get up off your great, spotty behinds and accept it.

    p.s. BTW, for the record, I loathe each and every one of you to the point where if I trouble myself to think of you, my feet fall asleep. Thank you.

    You just don't get it. You came in months ago and we told you to leave. Now you're back? Go away. And for the rest of you pillocks. I'm gone for the next 10 or so days. But I'll still hate you all when I return.</font>

    Crodaburg, huh?

    So, this is some kind of cheese, right? Probably an especially odiferous brand of German cheese. "Brought to you by those wonderful people who consider lard to be a beverage!"

    I just sent a game over to Sock Monkey, but I'll gladly take on another little diversion. I'm going up against Rolaids? Well, from now on, think of him as Custer.

    Sound Off, laddie.

    {bloody limp-wristed SSN's...can't do anything}

    EXCUUUUSE ME! I thought you guys had rules, protocols. If I'd known it was all empty posturing I would've just tossed in some fecal matter and let it go at that.

    Land's sakes, buncha addled brain, one-too-many bhang hit pack a nimrods!

    Every single day of my life.

    OK, Sock Monkey, will do. Do you have any preferences other than size (double entendre fully intended)? Do you like to pick your forces, play either as allied or axis...? As the challenged party it's your choice.

    Oh, and R_Leete, WHEW! I guess you told me! You, sir, use words as if they were blunt instruments. Ah well, at least they match your wit.

    Yes, I imagine BTS is livin' in fat city thanks to us. I can see them all right now, vacationing in the Bahamas, walking around their time share drinking daquiries and wearing nothing but huge smiles and crocheted banana warmers.

    Sorry, I think I just grossed myself out.

    Was it the AI controlling the Allied side? Against a human player... even on the defensive, I'd worry a bit if given an infantry FT, due to human players being more cautious about screening their vehicles with infantry, and not bunching up... except, perhaps, at night where hiding and sneaking should be easier, or in really constricted terrain like the silly (but quite aesthetically pleasing, I'd say) Bocage Maze scenario.

    Heck, if it was within FT range, it was also well within faust range. Ouch. Crisping infantry might be good enough, 'tho, depending on who's the screen in that area.

    Now vehicle FTs on the other hand... a wasp horde in a city map could be really, really annoying, I suspect...

    Yeah, it was against the AI. That's something I've noticed too. The AI doesn't believe in the maxim; infantry support tanks, tanks support infantry.

    I read in one of the threads here a few months ago that if you take your spotter and position him at the leading edge of a treeline by sneaking him through the last several yards of the trees, he won't be seen. I've adopted that practice and since then have never had one of my spotters fired at.

    I'd pretty much given up on actively using FT's in any of my plans for two reasons.

    1) They're slower than molasses, and

    B) As soon as they get near the action, they die.

    So the other evening during a QB, I moved my FT into a heavy bldg. near the edge of town where at some point some allied troops just might come by.

    Much to my surprise, first a Greyhound and then a Stuart picked the very same bldg. to try to sneak around. Results? Two pieces of cooked armor, hold the fries.

    I was beside myself with joy. Yes, there were actually two of me sitting there, dumbfounded. So, if you're having problems knowing what to do with your FT's. Don't give up. Something just might drop into your lap. And if that happens, use club soda on it immediately.

    Durandel is the computer in the game Marathon. Now THAT takes me back!

    I just had a weird thing happen in a PBEM game. My guys are defending and are in foxholes. The enemy begins to retreat and suddenly, my guys start to advance! I didn't tell them to leave their foxholes and would have preferred it if they hadn't. What's that all about?
