    Answer: A hungover Brit, a CMAK-less Canadian and a Cheery Waffle

    To coin a phrase, good morning maggots!

    In other news … after embarking on a furious spree of angry, bitter, TNT chucking (the like of which we’ve not seen since Skunknads returned home from an electrolysis session sooner than expected to find MG hunched over his computer “researching” the many ways ladies can show their love, respect and affection for each other), Axe appears to be a spent force. His armour charge was mean, moody and magnificent, but less than half way through our African encounter all that remains are the smoking ruins of our weapons of war. Still, what a way to go.

    Meanwhile … Snarker is a big, sneaky, maggot. Or a desert rat fink. This means he still has his tanks and a company of infantry has sprung from nowhere to make a dash for the flags. This wasn’t in the script.

    And finally … my battle with Mike in Italy is off to our customary slow start, but hopefully, with 40 turns to play with, we still have plenty of time to reach a satisfying climax. Currently I’m just messing with his mind - blowing up the odd house because I can and cunningly manoeuvring my chaps into position. After a spot of tiffin, a little manly bonding and a rousing song or two, they will be ready for action. War can be a very beautiful thing.

    Chin chin,

    Well anyway, I know you sent me a CMAK set-up, but I cannot find it anywhere. If you are not too terribly preoccupied, I would beg for another go????

    **At Playing CMAK!!! :mad:

    **-Added for Snarker's elucidation.

    Dearest Jim Bob,

    I’m never too occupied for a little CMAK action, especially if your offer still stands and I can play the G&T drinking, short wearing, stiff upper lip types.

    However, as it’s only two days (allegedly) until the full game ships, shall we hold fire until the weekend so we can sate ourselves on the real deal?

    Yours, as always,

    Teddy

    P.S. You’ve got a picture?!?!?!? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate at the moment, maggot. How about we wait until the New Year? It will give us a chance to get to grips with CMAK, get thoroughly trolleyed over the festive season without worrying about trying to create and, if we're lucky, Abbott will create another fiendish scenario :mad:

    All the best,

    I would post spoiler warnings, but as Dave H must be the only maggot in the world who hasn't played the demo I won't bother :mad:

    You're being too hard on yourself, maggot. It was a beautifully terrifying sight to see your Panzers charging across the desert at full speed, in a sandstorm of dust and TNT. It took me rather by surprise and is so far the top contender for my "CMAK moment of 2003". I'll be amazed if our battle lasts much more than 20 turns, although I've no idea who will emerge triumphant.

    Snarker is being a little more circumspect (the sneaky maggot) and no wadi is too small or shallow for his evil Hun to crawl along. His mechanised warriors are inching forward, while my brave Shermans are looking dangerously exposed :mad:

    Meanwhile, in Italy, Mike, the lucky maggot, has shot down my fighter. Mind you, reading all the tales of friendly fire woes this may not be such a bad thing. I think I've caught him unawares - he's running his defenders around the village while I'm indulging in a little impromptu town planning. Marvellous.

    A nasty flashback to my student days ... I shared a house with three vegetarians, who insisted on tie-dyeing charity shop purchases in the bathroom, prevented me from cooking low-quality mince products in the kitchen, watched nasty Australian soaps in the living room and played the Smiths loudly in their bedrooms while attempting to get pregnant (one actually succeeded, although her dungarees were so large it was months before anyone noticed ... including her).

    Last post, honest. I'll bugger back off to the Cheery Wafflers.

    Bottoms up,

    Thanks for caring. You're always more than welcome to drop in, as long as you promise I'll never have to listen to Frankly, Mr Shankly or Vicar In A Tutu ever again.

    I think I better bow out - two posts in a Peng thread are at least a couple too many (for all parties involved, I suspect).

    Down the hatch,

    I hope you'll be taking your own advice when CMAK arrives, maggot.

    I trust you've saved me a slot on your dance card and this time I'm going to examine the smallprint very carefully before I sign on the dotted line and agree to do battle in the desert :mad: :mad:

    Edited to add: I've killed the Peng thread :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I was otherwise engaged last night, jet-setting around Europe, drinking fine wines from the bellybuttons of beautiful ladies and dining on exotic cuisine prepared by the world's most famous chefs.

    Normal service will be resumed tonight :mad:

    Hey €uro citiz€ns! BFC or CDV version?

    Well, I've ordered direct from BFC, but it turns out that one of my main reasons, the groovy manual, has been discarded so there will be a slimline manual for CM:AK. :(

    Still, I've ordered, and that's that.

    Sounds familiar :mad: I ordered three copies on the naive assumption I'd finally get a chance to RTFM (pdfs are the sperm of the devil). Oh well, you live and learn...

    Dave, you're far too nice to venture out in the GF. All those negative vibes are bad for the karma of an old hippy like you.

    Just light the incense to mask the smell of mould, dig out the exotic cigarettes, stick on your Jefferson Airplane LP and chill out with rest of us maggots in the Africa Korps.

    Another G&T, anyone?
