Oh, forgot to mention... all of the above
AND
Damn near EVERYONE's tendency
To "snitch" on their neighbors.
Makes 'em feel BIG,
Important.
Flush with power.
Now,
THAT you can DEPEND on.
It's THE one thing
That will break
The Biker's Code
Hemingway's Code
The Cop's Code
West Point Code
Knights-of-olde Code
Everyone's! Code.
Except for the Mega Corps, which,
HAVE no "code."
LOLOLOL!

One of the most coherent
And well organized commentaries
I've ever read on this here board.
What you'd prefer is NOT quite in default game,
Tho,
Who knows?
Maybe Hubert will read this superior analysis
And be convinced.
IF he's not,
As I am not - too much "micro"
To suit me,
Well,
Given the new!
And greatly expanded Editor :cool:
I am very sure you can almost EXACTLY
Replicate what is yer after.
Has to do with ability to edit
Not only - hard, dice-roll
Kind of combat target values,
But with... well,
Given the NDA I'd better let you yerself
See how it can be done.
Here pretty soon I'm guessing.
-
Hey!
I take that
The wrong way!
Shouldn't I? :confused:
See hear,
Yer browsin' 'round that UN-ending
What was or,
What will be.
ALL what's past,
Is merely... memory.
And,
As we know - that's unreliable
As all get out.
IE,
20 SC Cats see an "incident,"
Say, some "misdirection"
Applied by a mage like one or 2
We got hereabouts.
Take those 20 "witnesses"
And sit 'em down somewhere
For, oh, about an hour, let 'em
Do -> whatever.
Now, go ask & talk and take notes.
Sure enuff - you get 20 TOTALLY different
Versions of the story.
Wildly divergent versions even.
OK, next.
ALL of the future is... imagination.
SPECULATE from here to 88 doom day,
That's ALL yer gonna get.
Merest speculation about
What -> MIGHT occur.
So.
All the past is UN-reliable memory.
All the future is rank speculation.
I gotta ask?
What is... this VERY micro-second?
Doesn't it HAVE to be?
One or the other,
Past or Future?
How not?
And IF that be true, not myself
Sayin' yea or nay,
But IF it is,
Where and, what are -> "you?"

No other way to make REAL money?If you are young you should always invest in the market there is no other way for people to make real money. You can work all your life but it will only make you a living.Say,
You bite into the flippin' disc
And it ain't no wooden nickel
After all?
It's actually... fool's gold?
Some 49er one time lost
Out in Death Valley?
Like that?
LOL!
"Money for nothing
And yer Chicks for free?"
Who sung that, any idea T?
Research CLEARLY establishes
That those who WORK - manual,
With their hands,
Live longest.
NO doubt about it.
The peon, the fellaheen,
The fisher man,
The tender of beans, yep,
The lettuce selector,
His hands are green,
Them kind live the longest, oh,
Over 100 yrs in some cases.
Type-A Dude?
Got to shout and scurry about
And run the rat-race maze
Day after day after day?
Well,
Don't need no research
To know - they don't do nuthin'
But - make loads of dough!
For the Widow!
The YOUNG babe, since the old lady
Was discarded somewheres
Along the way.
LOL!

Been meaning to get up thatta wayCome upto God's country of the Northwest, lunch & drinks on the Legend.Long time now.
Keep hearin wonderful tales, though,
That alone may be
Good and sufficient reason not to go?
Yep, I'll take you up on that offer,
They got enny con queso or carne ardavada
Up there in the rain forest?
Far as the drinks, it'll have to be Ale.
"Ginger" I mean.
That other fire-water stuff, yeah boy,
Loved that jump juice... too much, it damn near
Did me in X-tra early.
I don't give advice much, but,
Ennybody out there drinkin'
MORE than a couple shots
A sitting, I'd say,
Give it up, man. :eek:
Comes the day - oh, about 749
Things commence to go awful wrong
With yer body.
Mind too,
So some have told me, anyway.

Excuse me ECP,@Deserter DaveBut I've mentioned this already,

One 'a them there "2S" deferments?
How's about you?
More like them 5 gung-ho Romney kids?
LOL!
Well,
I go down to the Barrio
Oncet a week

Wear 'em cinched bandannas and will! stomp
You ragged red if you give 'em
A "mad-dog" kind of glance?
Yeah,

Off the "hate-the-Other"
Kind of trip.
Seems very many folk have got that

Do it for free too.
Look for - Vets, mostly, as
We ken "relate"
And welcome each other back home

OK, you know all this.
So quit with that "deserter" flambouyance,
Yes?
Meanwhile,
You are REALLY gonna love - love, love,
SC2 WaW.
So many choices!
You gotta make, but, alas,
Not enough lucre to go 'round.
Can't have ALL them different units,
Such as the new
Artillery,
And Anti-tank guns,
And Anti-air flak,
And TAC bombers,
And Deeestroyers too!
See, I've played it alot,

More exactly,
A-Fool-and-his-Money
Sort of soul-less boast.
Be a man for once in yer life.
Get a job.
Pick lettuce or cotton.
Run a back-hoe.
Weld some steel.
Re-build what's gone rotten.
Work the green-chain in a lumber camp, and
Off-load baubles for the lace-cuff Yuppies,
Some ocean-worn dock.
Work the night-shift
At a Convenience store
For minimum wage, yea verily brother, then
Stare at the Saturday Night Special
Aimed square at yer face,
And pretend it's only - a reality show.
As for the rest of the recent bombast,
Do this:
Go preach down 'round - south New Orleans.
Or,
In bloody 'hood of Harlem.
Spin yer cherry-picked gospel in East LA,
Or the wrong-side of the tracks
In bad-shoulder Chicago.
Pick any USA city,
Large or small, no matter,
And sing high priced praises
To them's beat and afflicted.
We got! Ghettos galore - and so,
You can go SLUMMING - everywhere!
In this fast elapsing land, ah, mercy,
Ain't that just... grand?
Then,
Well, ONLY then
Do I - personally,
Consider you WORTH listening to.
Right now, ALL I get about you,
Of late,
Is this ever-increasing feeling
That yer... a freaking fraud.
-
This whole 9 or so pages
Is a... what-you-callit,
A scarecrow man :eek:
Humans are, basically, animals,
Relying on their back-brain.
Very very very
Very very very
THIN veneer of civilization
Hardly hiding the lizard beneath.
If it wasn't "religion"
That everyone was fighting about,
It would be something else,
No doubt in my mind.
It would be:
The Nation
(... patriotism, chauvanism, jingoism)
Or - the State/area yer from.
The skin color.
The favored tree, IE,
Some tribes/groups
Would be "the elms,"
Some "the oaks,"
And, naturally - some "the weeping willows"
(... who like to hug the trees
and bemoan the FACT of rampant deforestation)
All this angst and absurd claims
About "religion"
Is pretty strange, IMO.
EVERYTHING, darn near, can be a "religion."
Science.
War-gaming.
Sports.
Politics.
They all have:
1) Particular rituals
2) Certain ceremony
3) Adopted dogma
4) Charismatic figures
5) Baptism/indoctrination
6) Elders who uphold
7) Prayer (... or wishes, hopes, desire
to attach the non-corporal part of each
to some thing "larger" than themselves)
Etc, etc.
Yep, like I say - it's a Straw Man
Kind of faux contra-versy,
I mean to suggest,
Who is AGAINST - anything?
Everybody!
At one time or another.
Far as who is going to kill us all?
Take a good long glance
In the looking-glass.
That threatening shadow you notice?
Is it - the Devil - trying to get - IN.
Or,
Is it - the Devil - trying to get - OUT.

"Nobody's right
If everybody's wrong."
Heard that in a song - long ago; seems
To apply here and now as well?
IOW,
Since NOBODY is "god-like"
That I know of, after all these years
Wandering thither & fro (... getting
Into trouble often as not, alas) and
Since no human
Could POSSIBLY be.... omniscient,
Or omnipotent or omni-
Much of anything,
We ALL must be wrong, some times.
Hmmm... don't recall,
In over 5 years on this here open
Forum board,
ANYBODY ever making a post
Like such & so:
"Doggone if YOU ain't got the real deal
Goods, man alive, and I have CHANGED my mind
Due to yer - most-convincing! WORDS."
LOL!
In this particular conversation,
EACH person has very VALID points.
I agree MORE with Kuni & Blash-Mon,
As has been evident these 5 years,
No apologies for that rad stance,
To which I'd, pardon, like
To add:
Any single quality that you got,
Whether it be of the body, mind
Or spirit, is... a gift.
And so,
Why on earth would you, or I, CLAIM
It is some thing personally gained?
It truly
Astounds me that some folks come 'round,
Rolling shoulders or flexing intellect,
Or be speaking of spirit, which is fine
By me - so long as ANY "religion" STAYS
Completely separated from the State, ah,
Anyhow,
And makes the preposterous claim:
"MY success is ONLY due
to MY "will-power!"
Now,
THAT is truly funny... LOLOL!
Anyway,
Moving on,
rambo_jr, et al,
ALSO have some very good notions.
What is "conservative" IS, ipso intracto,
Vital to preserve.
Some things ARE intrinsically valuable
And shouldn't be discarded
MERELY because they are ancient
In nature.
IE,
"Know thyself," and
"Do unto others as you would have them
Do unto you," and,
Well no need to keep on keeping on,
All gets the gist, eh?
Thing to do, I guess,
Is ACCEPT the fact that... without
Common agreements - laws,
And norms, and taboos and the like,
And a return to civil and empathic
Kinds of discourse,
We ain't - no way,
Gonna make this "temporary mirage"
Last much longer, IMHO.
One'a these days - damn! shazam!
It's all just gonna... disappear,
We gone go out - as ol' T.S
Once wrote - not with any bang,
But... a whimper. :eek:
Well,
Just one SC Cat's crazy opinion,
Is all.

Little Sunday Morning Story, as
First posted in another forum, but,
Have decided to tell all:
___________________________________
"Pistol" Pete Maravich
Was recently voted
One of the top 50 basketball players
Of all time.
Professional, or Collegiate.
He was the ONLY white player
Who was ever offered a legitimate contract
By Abe Saperstein,
Who it was that owned
The Harlem Globetrotters.
In college, at LSU, from
1968 to 1971, he averaged
Over 44 points per game,
And this,
WITHOUT the 3-point line.
A record not yet broken.
However,
Almost without exception,
Black & white alike,
He was... despised.
Resented, dis-liked, shunned,
Ignored and in general,
Actually hated.
Why?
Nobody else
Could do what he could do
With the basketball,
Not then, and not since.
He took to drinking at an early age
(... yeah,
the jealousies extended that far back)
And continued drinking, oh,
Until his mid-30's it was.
Then,
Of a sudden - he quit.
Completely.
Never touched a drop of alcohol
Ever again.
Began to do "good works,"
Like volunteering in soup kitchens
Down there in Loosianna,
Where he lived.
He would drop off boxes of food
And clothing,
And gave lots of money
To his chosen Church.
Yep,
He had quit because he had
An "epiphany."
It was "religious" in nature,
As ALL things actually are,
Whether anyone chooses to admit that
Or not.
No matter - an enlightenment
Can arrive for an agnostic or atheist
Just the same as for
Some body who believes
Or has a faith.
But,
All of that isn't the REAL story,
Nope, not by a long-shot.
See,
He had collapsed and died
Playing a "pick-up" game
With some friends.
The autopsy revealed that... he only
Had - HALF a Heart.
IOW, he was missing one of the two
Main arteries supplying oxygen
To the heart-muscle.
ALL of the specialist Doctors
Were in accord.
He SHOULD have died,
As 99.99% of those with the same
Kind of affliction
Will do,
By age - 9 or 10.
He was almost 40 when he finally died.
HOW?
Would anyone suppose?
Did he do it. :confused:
ALL that immense amount of practice
(... 4-5 hours every single day, from age
6 to 32)
And extremely INTENSE game-play
In college, and in the pros,
And somehow?
Manage to set all those records,
And,
Like I say,
Be voted one of the 50 all-time best?
And quit drinking, when, as I know
Very, very well,
From over 15 years of addictions
Counseling,
That over 90% who try... will "relapse,"
And go back to drinking & drugging.
Hmmm... was it some "thing"
In his body?
In his brain?
Or was it - elsewhere.
You guys who know ALL about
These sorts of matters - decide
Amongst yerselves,
Come to a common consensus, yes?

Well, JJ, just so long asOriginally posted by JerseyJohn:I'm sure your post is going to get stoned, DD, but I think it's great.
All we need to do is look at our neighbor to the south, with it's abundance of extremely rich -- no one knows how many billionaires.
Their national product?
Poverty.
Their chief export?
The destitute. -- two or three million a year, every year, no one bothers to keep track.
I myself don't get stoned! LOL,
Ain't done that new fangled
Sort of stoning in 15 years.
The old-fashioned method?
Plenty of times!
But, this I know... as with you,
It only makes the stonee
That much tougher.
WRT the "rich," I am fair certain YOU
Anyhow,
KNOW I am speaking of those
Great Americans (... save the occasional
tendency to "monopolize" free trade
)Like Rockefeller & Carnegie
And Vanderbilt and Ford,
And NOT the hugely encumbered
"Middle Class,
Which is, these days, paying for
Damn near everything.
Also, am concerned about the failed
Immigration bill - again!
Well, the Mega-Corps sure do
Exploit that cheap - can't complain
Kind of labor, eh?
BTW, very much have been enjoying
Your historical expressions,
Such as the recent accounts
Of city-state of Venice
And the absurd?
Notion of "squatters" in & around
United Nations.
Boardwalk Raconteur is alive!
And, one hopes - VERY well
And yet playing some ball.
Bonds breaks the record
And, like Hank himself, I'm gonna
Go golf... ah never mind,
The fix is in,
The Con-boys have got the Nation's
Grand old game where it is damn
Near - unrecognizable, anymore,
Pinball in a shoe-box
I yet insist. :eek:
-
How did all 'em Red Cats
Get to Algeria?
Op Moves?
Well,
No RAILS in Libya at'all so... that
Won't be possible enny more.
Could force-march them there
I guess?
Take some long while, tho.
Yep, LOTS of old S & T
Soon enough becomes doomed, defunct.
EVERYBODY starts over,
Starts out - even up, in the 'hood.
Learning many, many new things,
And that's ever - for the good.
-
I have been in the shabby-shiny
Mansions of the rich,
Noticed those supposed as
Grand and impressive? appointments,
Such as - the famous painters
Held close hostage on antiseptic walls?
So that no one else!
Might enjoy them.
I have spent time - too much time,
In their august company
(... had to, it was what was required
while working in the Family Business
for a decade - finally figured it, that
I couldn't stand it any
longer and quit that awful fawning and hit
the road)
And one thing I ALWAYS heard,
As a kind of rue resentful Mantra:
Complaints, fulminations about - paying taxes.
LOL!
They want somebody else's kids
To fight the Wars,
Defend their stash, their piles
Of accumulate interest & lucre.
They want somebody else to pick up
Their trash and - man O man,
Do they generate immense amounts of that!
They want - no, expect!
Clean water and clean air
And the very best kind of cutting
Edge hi-teched - health care, yeah,
Hear me now,
They send their children
To the finest Ivy
And status climbing kind of schools,
They imagine that their opinion, oh,
On - anything at'all,
Should count for more,
Should be heeded,
And,
They have the monies to purchase access
To those corrupted full and final, in Soul,
Who've bargained with Faust - and won,
They suppose,
Whoso can deliver them what they want.
Later it was,
Then I'd hiked and, a'times,
Rode the patch-work Indian bike
All across this - become blighted land,
From Loosiana Bayou
To Pacific Pallisades,
Crossing and re-crossing many times
My own home
Here near the Rio Grande,
And I got to know... the poor,
The freaks and the out-casts,
The shunned and made fun of
For fun, and
The drunks and addicts and what's
Impolitely termed - black & white trash,
And the discarded and disdained,
The ones lacking brawn
Or blessing of brains, and so,
I came to understand - at long last and,
Have held it close to heart ever since,
That the "rich" have - NEVER EVER
Uttered... one... single... thing,
Insightful, valuable or worth preserving,
That I can recite for you today.
Not - a one.
The "poor"... even then they were
Beat, broke, battered or lamed,
Did indeed reveal to me
Quite the contrary stuff,
That... I'll never forget.
Main thing - they had no fear.
Fear of somebody coming for their goods.
Fear of terrorists.
Fear of Big Brother.
Fear for the sake of fearing.
Fear of venturing forth,
As John Muir did over a hundred and some odd
Years ago - crossed the entire continent
Of wilderness America,
Just - the ruck-sack
Had bracings of hard-tack and tea.
The rich are hardly ever satisfied,
Something... something
They are, they realize too late,
It seems... is... missing.
They don't know what it IS, since
They cannot get outside
Of... themselves,
Long enough to see - quite, what.
They stand in front of their million dollar
Paintings,
And stare and stare... alas, nothing there.
Should be, but,
They don't know how to see,
Where to look,
What might excite, how easily
It can be said,
As a Child might - gee!
Ah well, it's
No use worrying over, and I don't.
Me?
I'll stand, finally, with... the least.
So long as they retain their dignity,
Their long and hard learned peace.
You can be poor and yet remain true
To anciently great... verities.
Like - honor, faith, hope oh yea,
It's an actual amazing grace
Hardly to be found in ANY Church,
Selah,
To discern, know... genuine freedom
From the useless rat-after-rat race
For... nothing,
Slyly disguised as... something.
LOL!
Taxes.
I read somewhere, once,
Some thing this really radical old
Road-going carpenter Cat had said:
"To those who've been given much,
Much is expected."
LOL!
Used to be true, in America.
Then the rich would BUILD things
For the common weal - libraries,
Schools, hospitals, industries
That lasted - a part of the community,
Not re-located off-shore
In a Carib Isle Bank.
Ain't no more gonna be as that, nope,
And likely, not never again.
The newest Rubicon hast been passed,
And,
Ain't no going back.
One way to know this - for sure?
The latest Mantra:
NO TAXES!
On ME!
If - you please! LOLOL!
You cunning cadging Cats - have fun!
Maybe?
You can build a Pyramid
And take it - ALL,
With you?

True....the german panzers were stop by hitler himselfeHitler was NOT so very risk-taking
At the start (... of yet another!
Internecine Euro-Mayhem), anyhow.
Well, he was indeed concerned
That - Guderian, Dietrich & Kleist, et al,
WERE
Out ahead of the curve,
So to speak.
Worried that they would be cut-off
Before the following infantry
Could secure key objectives.
As for chemical warfare,
BOTH sides knew very well
That was a foul & horrendous
Witch's brew,
And neither side wanted to be the FIRST
To introduce them,
Partly,
Due to - not fully knowing
Just what the other guy was capable of.
Hitler's own WW-I experience?
Like Hemingway,
He had a severe and lasting jolt,
And ever - even sub-consciously,
Feared receiving a similar sort
Of body & mind disarrangement.
UNLIKE Hemingway,
He wasn't able to realize,
Internalize, and re-direct
That kind of deranging experience
And make "Art" out of it.
Too bad that he couldn't.
I am supposing - based on partial
Readings, so... an imperfect guess,
But,
Hitler could have gone
The other way, IE,
Become a somewhat "normal" citizen
Had he sold some paintings
Or, O/W "succeeded" in Society.
His eventual "madness" was real, though.
What caused it?
Not the chemicals on the ground, IMO,
But,
The volatile mixture of neuro-chemicals
In his head.
Since birth.
Many "normal" humans DO resort
To "craziness" at a later stage of life,
It happens every day,
At any age,
In every Nation on earth.
As we have recently witnessed,
Ad nauseum, all over the place.
-
And - not only that!
But,
You can likely ADD in yer own
Public domain PICs
Besides!

All along and especially,
These latter days... though,
You are right in yer assumption
That ONLY Hubert has done
The coding, the final decision making.
Green Door
And Normal Dude for only two
(... of a dozen or so)
Have done some mighty fine work
WRT interface/graphics,

then the end-game credits
roll out

And,
I bet! You and, many,
Will also - as well! :cool:

First, WHO is this... "Victor," and,Originally posted by Agent Smith:Great thread people.
What's going to happen when Victor releases Advanced Tactics? The game has hexes :eek:
The screenshots at matrix look :cool:
Could this become a never ending thread of threatened 'Fanboys' endlessly bemoaning about competition.
...try remembering back about 5-10 years ago, and think about how few decent wargames were even available, and rejoice in having CHOICES.
What's the big-deal diff, Smith,
WRT - hexes? :confused:
"Threatened fanboys bemoaning... "
LOLOL!
Look,
I myself KNOW what a superior
WW2 GS game should have in place,
In the way of REQUIRED
Mechanics & schematics,
Variants and "what-if's" besides.
Having played them ALL,
Covering, oh about 50 odd years now.
You cannot name one that I haven't
Closely examined,
If not - played out - cardboard or pixel,
Several or, more times than that, even.
Whether it be ANY of the Third Reich
Series
(... to include J Prados' latest
iteration, which, BTW, I would recommend
if you ain't already got it)
Or World in Flames - FE,
Or Totaler Krieg,
Or HoI (... ACK! I cringe at this
sloppy glop of bottom
of-barrel... garbage :eek: )
And so on and so on and - you git
The PIC, I am guessing.
That OTHER game under discussion
In this particular thread,
Lacks MOST of the MINIMAL requirements
For ANY decent WW2 GS game.
I ain't gonna list 'em
For the previously stated reason:
I ain't got NO interest in helping
Rank amateurs - who are stumblers
And flim-flammers... slumming
At the anti-creation edges,
Who wouldn't know faithful and
Historical precedent
IF it up and bit 'em
On enny appendages,
Ah, IMO - only.
Well, let's see,
You should know what's minimally required, eh?
YOU - apparently like 3R/A3R - since you've
Tried to make a MOD
Using that as a template, yes?
(... ain't it just grand! That
you CAN! Make such-like sort of mod, using
this here UN-precedented Editor, eh? :cool: )
Can you not notice the DIFFERENCE
Between what is superior?
And,
What is immensely - inferior?
Well, shucks podjo, I will ALWAYS be a "fan"
(... though the days of being a "boy"
Are long gone, down-under Dude... ever since
1966, at the least, LOL!
)Of ANY good, reliable, re-playable, and
Mainly attuned to what's historical,
Kind of game.
ANY.
So long as it meets certain criterium.
That other limping lame-game don't,
It's really that simple, and,
As some one has mentioned just recently,
One patch just... ain't gonna get it.
Done.
Like I said way back at the beginning,
Oh,
More like 10-20 patches and
A coupla 3 years.
OK.
Now! New market value of that
Other game dwindles to... 95 cents.
Crank up yer Electro Glide, Agent Smith,
Should you know what that is,
And how youse goes about
Man-handling it... through - ANY
Barricades,
Blue Meanie made, or, no.
Ayup, yer gonna need it.
-
Back O/T:
Given added understanding,
And further review,
That other game, is now
Valued at... $1.95
Soon enough we'll be finished
Electro-gliding THROUGH
The barricades
(... these ever exist merely
in the MIND, anyhow
)And on the way!
To the city different - Santa Fe! :cool:

Heard the news yesterday... 66And WE because last time I checked Canada joined the fight in September 1939.Canadian soldiers have been killed
In Afghanistan thus far.
Canada may be the ONLY "trust-worthy"
Friend we - the USA I mean to say,
Has got left,
Given all the "cowboying around"
We have been doing these last, oh,
60 odd years.
Chasing bad-guy ghosts.
Imagine IF all the monies
That went into the pockets
Of those VERY FEW who own
Substantial shares of stock
In Weapons, IE,
The sprawling and EVER increasing :eek:
Military-Industrial Complex,
Had instead gone into:
Schools.
Infrastructure.
Police & Fire departments.
Alternative Energy sources.
Etc, etc, ad infinitum.
The list is long.
Soon enough,
We - the people,
The reason for the Government
Existing in the first instance,
WILL make some long over-due changes.
It's JUST beginning... now. :cool:

Amongst the aging population of grognards (myself included), probably true. For the yearlings, some of them have never played a board game with hexes and do not care. :eek:Originally posted by pzgndr:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr /> I'm reasonably sure that if you took a preference poll of seasoned "wargamers" that hexes would easily be chosen as favorite.
Having played a variety of PC wargames now with hexes, tiles, provinces or no grid at all, the old hexagon "standard" is largely irrelevant. Turn the grid off! Game play is the real test. How well do the game mechanics work, how is play balance, how is replayability, how extensive is the game editor so players can mod the game (or create new games themselves), etc. Bottom line, is the game playable and is it fun?? </font>

Yep Targul, I am OFTENDave is way off here. I like SC2 but for Human play you cant beat CEAW if you want a historical playing game. It is exactly what I have been looking for. It is missing a end of turn show for the opponent but that will be fixed.Way off - in the wild blue,
Or,
Failing that - same as the Aero Cat
With them wax-wings daring! to go
Too close to the Sun - it
Was - Icharus?
No matter,
I am certain to be - LESS "way off"
Once the new!
SC-2 WaW arrives
In a theatre near you! :cool:
WRT to your unswerving - not near!
ANY sun going preference
For more straight-line linear
And historical HvsH game-play.
SO many!
More options also - for the Mod Cats
So to have precisely
THE GAME
Of their deep delirium dreams!
For instance,
Just now I am working the numbers
For '41-42 North Afrika,
And I have discovered this:
There are an amazing!
# of Editor permutations possible, so many
In fact,
That I must be VERY careful
And, conduct much testing,
So to insure that they all "fit together"
In a synergistic and complementary
Way - what say you?
How far off am I nowadays?

Thank you for that Green Door.Originally posted by n0kn0k:I don't think he even has the game Borsook
Although I do think the same about it as DD does, and I have bought it.
About his writings,
I love them.
Although it's hard,
to debate with a poet
Tho, not many, I am guessing - based
On prior commentaries,
Would agree with that last part, LOL!
You - much more so than I,
KNOW what zazen sitzen IS,
And how to survive in this
Going coo-coo corrupt old world.
(... my apologies to those who don't get this
reference - it's from another forum)
And you - far more than I,
Have courteous wit - merely exceeded
By - considerable patient grace.

That ev can indeed
Replicate the alternate paradigm
He'd like to have.
Very near - precisely.
I have done it, he can do it,
It's really rather simple,
Merely a few clicks,
So he don't gotta worry
About having to perform some
Tortured, time-consuming secret rite.
Nobody does. :cool:
[... AI scripting is a BIT tougher,
but not outside the capabilities
of yer everyday average gamer]
Also, pardon,
But you have omitted quite a lot
(... perhaps, as me, due to NDA?
)
WRT just what the Editor CAN do,
Insofar as relative combat values
For - ANY kind of unit.
Not merely the Willie & Joe
Slog-along sort of dog-soldiers.
I can relate to them kind,
E-5 on down, now
That's what it takes
To win ANY war,
Undeclared, with "just-cause," or O/W.
