"The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spies and P.I.'s too!" really sounds rather groovy.Originally posted by Axe2121:Hey, Teddy. I can't believe I've been listening to this station for almost two years and forgot to point it out.
When I grow weary of my Schifrin and Barry soundtracks, or Duane's twangin' gee-tar, I'll check it out.
Apologies for my complete lack of turn-sending last night ... I was mourning Timmy's heroic defeat. I'll endeavour to do better today.
Chin chin,

Let's hope I don't mix up the rotors on my Enigma machine again...Originally posted by Axe2121:Edward. Secret message received and decoded. Answer should arrive later tonight.

Er, apologies for killing the thread.

Ah, Simon le Bon ... bon viveur, yachtsman, fashion guru, modern poet and 20th century iconOriginally posted by Crow:I'm sure Teddy will be back in here with us all soon once he has stopped quoting Duran Duran lyrics on the CMMOS thread!
I prefer to watch his "progress" from the comfort of my drawing room ... that way I've always got a stiff drink to hand. I've also been practicing my best Gareth Hunt "coffee bean shake", to emulate my sporting hero next time I wish to apear all mean, moody and magnificent.Originally posted by Crow:BTW Edward old bean, managed to make it down to Wimbledon to see ol' Tiger Tim in action at all?
Quick updates:
Cheery Waffle is turning ugly, with Dave's StuG-shaped "assault gun?" giving my brave tankers a suspiciously hard time. He swears blind it's a Kubelwagon on steroids, but judging from the craters the damn thing is leaving everywhere I have my doubts. Still, I'm hoping to "turn up the heat" on the Krauts in the village...
Meanwhile, my battle with the "Sultan of Gaminess" - aka, mike_the_wino (the maggot) - is reaching its crux. My "light tanks" appear to be outclassed by his "light tanks" and I'm starting to wish I'd perused the shopping list more carefully to get more bang per buck. Or simply bought a few KVs...
Axe is discovering the drawbacks of PBEM and AAR-writing with a complete muppet. Having mistyped or completely forgotten my password after a night on the gin, we're having to go back to the setup phase. *sigh*
And as for MG, the mold encrusted non-TNT chucker, I think I will have uninstalled CMBB to make way for CMAK before our monstrous encounter is completed.
Toodle pip,
Teddy

People stare and cross the road from meOriginally posted by Thin Red Line:Is there something i should know ?
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind can you see in the snow?
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war
Cos the dream that strings the road with broken glass for us to hold
And I got so far before I had to say...
I've absolutely no idea, old chap.

Hey maggots, aren't we supposed to start a new thread?
:mad: :mad: :mad:
Turns out to Dave, Mikey and MG.
Nothing exciting to report in any of them so far, although judging by the size of the next [/] Cheery Waffles movie that could all be about to change.

Ah Nippy, you've inspired me to recite a little Franklin P. Adam...
Poetry is modern,
And poetry is "free,"
And poetry's "expression,"
And Poetry is Me.
And poets all are busy,
And poets have no time
To waste on words melodic,
Or spend on silly rhyme.
For Poetry is freedom
From metre's utter fetters,
And poetry is lines that don't
Begin with capital letters.

If you would stop entertaining Widow Palm and her five lonely sisters long enough to send me my next move, I could package the infamous scenario with my reply.Originally posted by mike_the_wino:Very well PlatypusHandler. As soon as Sockpuppet can send me the scenario your ass-whooping can begin.
Chin chin,

Well that's cleared up any lingering doubt Dave and I may have had about what we were facing, maggot. :mad: :mad: :mad:Originally posted by Soddball:I don't know what you hoors are whining about on Cheery Waffle. The unit picks work like this. Whatever you have, your opponent has the equivalent - so if one side has (for example) a flamethrower tank, so does the other, which arrives on exactly the same turn as its opponent.
I wish I'd never posted bail for you now...
Apologies to any maggots I neglected last night - that would be my aforementioned opponent and, surprisingly, MG.
I was weary after a long day at Wimbledon, helping young ladies perfect their ball control, and was too tired to do my TNT chucking justice.
Turns out tonight. Toodle pip,
Teddy

I'd like to second that emotion, especially as we're obviously playing at a slower pace ... knowing what horrors await doesn't make it any easier to plan the next move - I'm on tactical overload as it is, without having to choose my doom.Originally posted by Dave H:Would you guys PLEASE quit posting information about the Cheery Waffle scenario here? Pretty please? With sugar on top?
Although I'm really going to have to pay more attention to what you maggots post - until Dave pointed it out, it had completely passed me by you were talking about Cheery Waffle.

Didn't get an invite ... Chuck and Wills are still sulking after the St Andrew's fiascoOriginally posted by Crow:In other news Teddy, I see that if that guy who raided young Wills party had been packing more than a bad wig you may well have been crowned King as you were the only member of your family not present. Were you by any chance down in your bunker sending out turns to this rabble?

By all accounts it was a splendid evening ... until comedy terrorist Soddball staged his little stunt. :mad: :mad: :mad:Originally posted by Dave H:Have a good time at William's birthday bash?
Thank goodness security ejected him before he could start his Le Petomane act...

:mad: :mad: :mad:Originally posted by Axe2121:Eh? Your spy skills are slipping, dear Edward. No such transmission received. Understandable, what with all the jolity of William's birthday and all.
Please send it again. In morse this time, to jasonballantyne@sympatico.ca, if you please.
Cheerio,
Jas :mad: n
I sent it to the hotmail address in your profile, Scoop. I'm too busy fishing olives out of my vodka martinis to go hunting down email accounts.

You'll have to wait until tomorrow now - I'm "on a mission" tonight.

Maggot, you're almost making me feel guilty for my weekend of beer, barbecues, golf, paddling pools and badminton (as an international man of mystery I have to try my hand at many things) ... if it wasn't for the fact I took a little time out to ensure there was a turn waiting for you in your inbox :mad:Originally posted by mike_the_wino:Teddy was mostly useless this weekend and not too many turns for me this weekend.
MasterGoodale is obviously too busy pulling his plonker to click "play" and watch the latest movie in our 3,000pt Axis attack :mad:
Dave H is a couple of hundred pages ahead of me in the latest trial of endurance that J K Rowling has inflicted on the literary world. If only unoriginal, badly written drivel was always so handsomely rewarded, as contributers to this "thread" we'd all be able to give up the day jobs. Still, the most recent installment of the boy wizard's adventures do help pass the time while I'm waiting for you maggots to get your acts together, and I will be very upset if my fellow Cheery Waffler reveals the ending :mad:
Axe2121 is maintaining radio silence after I shipped him a scenario for our AAR. He is, of course, a maggot.

By all means friendOriginally posted by Ligur:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Edward Windsor:
Nice work, Ligur. Amusing and educational - a rare combination. Would you mind if I preserved that on my website to save it being lost in the threads of time?

I still really enjoy Elsdorf, played as the Allies - a rare chance to use heavyweights in a reasonably balanced encounter. Just make sure you use the most recent version.

Bloody hell - there's more :mad: :mad: :mad:

At the glacial rate MG plays, I've probably got a slot for a smallish CMBB encounter if you're interested in producing an AAR. Maggot.

He'd better get a move on - I'll be playing CMAK by thenOriginally posted by Soddball:I'm into my 7th month and we are on turn 24 out of 40+. That's an average of one full turn every 15 days. COCKMUNCH GOODALE - send me a turn or forefeit the game, because I'm tired of pussyfooting around.

You had my sympathy, but then you lost me on the third one, maggot.Originally posted by mike_the_wino:I will not put off booze, women nor work, in that order, for any man or soul-corrupting video game
Check your inbox :mad:Originally posted by mike_the_wino:BTW, where is my turn?
BTW Can anyone give me a rough idea how long it generally takes to see through an encounter with the vomit encrusted, maggot banging, non-TNT chuckin', KV-lovin' faggot?

I hope there are more guns. And tanks. And explosions. And burning things. There definitely aren't enough of these in the original.
Famous. I can die a happy man.In other news, Mikey, Axe and MG have been otherwise engaged ... drinking/burning, kissing up to the in-laws-to-be and attempting to identify an arse from an elbow, respectively.
And finally, any other maggots I've been playing are far too sensible to post here, so you're going to have to take it from me that they all regard me as an evil tactical genius who could have taught Zhukov a thing or two...
On a vaguely related note, I can recommend this map for a small ME that doesn't suck half as much as these QBs usually do.
