Close, but no cigar ... as Soddball so kindly pointed out, it is, in fact, tiffin time. I suspect your turn is nestled in my inbox, awaiting some of my tender care and attention, but unfortunately I was waylaid last night by a fascinating documentary on BBC2 which finally revealed beyond all reasonable doubt (well, it convinced me anyway) who shot JFK. Turns out it was Lee Harvey Oswald after all. It's a funny old world. Teddy

*Mumble, mumble* I was hoping to let that one lie, maggot :mad: :mad: Let's hope the Yanks can avenge my loss when they do battle in the land of pasta and short, hirsute men. In other news, I've heard nothing from Jim Bob after sending him a setup for the Italian scenario :mad: The game against Snarker is progressing at a great rate of knots, considering nobody's learned how to set clocks in America :mad: It's hot, it's dusty, and there's a wadi and an oasis ... all we need is British troops and we've got a John Mills film. I'm also doing battle with Axe in Tunisia ... but we've only just started and there's not much to report after his weekend of sporting escapades. As you were, gentlemen, Teddy

Hey, we're all lopsided! What's going on :mad: :mad: :mad:

*sniff* I don't think I've every felt more proud of being English ... your rousing speech and our brave boys' performance Down Under. Bottoms up, Teddy

You beauty - many thanks Fuerte. Teddy

Ditto - :mad: </font>

I always figured you for an Erasure fan :mad: :mad: :mad:

:mad:

Mmmm, I set it up as a new programme, but my cut and paste skills are pretty reasonable. I reckon we should both have got the same results although our methods were different. It's reading CMAK files, but not loading them, renumbering or saving them. Bugger. I've mailed Fuerte (a splendid chap) so it should be ship shape and Bristol fashion soon. Over to you, maggot (BTW Ray Mears put a reasonable case for LOTR, but I preferred John Sergeant arguing for Catch22) Snarker, if you're interested I've mailed a game file to the address in your profile. Teddy

Or mabye not. I'm obviously a flatulent baboon, but I can't get Fuerte's witchcraft to work for me in CMAK. Can you spell it out in words of one syllable so it’s completely idiot-proof? Frustrated Teddy

I'm going to look forward to wiping that angry little grimace from your face with my multi-turreted doom machines, maggot. Only a few hours to go... Teddy

:mad: :mad: :mad: There better be a turn waiting for me when I get back to the chateau tonight, maggot.

I had a play with that while I was waiting for turns (which never arrived ... bloody time zones :mad: :mad: :mad: ). I'm guessing you just copy over the missing settings from CMBB? Quizzical Teddy PS. Go on Dave ... you know you want to. Download the demo. (Edited to add: I think the demo scenarios look to be in a whole different league to those that appeared with CMBB, so if that's a major reason for not getting it, maybe you should reconsider? All the best) [ November 20, 2003, 06:52 AM: Message edited by: Edward Windsor ]

I'm sure your better half appreciates the smell of man anyway ... soap is for single guys. I'll ship you a setup, Teddy

Ooooo, you ain't nothin' but a maggot. We're off to Africa chum, so I can watch dust clouds and play with M3s. I've shipped the setup to what I suspect is your inbox, but I've done a reinstall since our last PBEM (WinXP for Teddy) so let me know if it gets lost in cyberspace :mad: And if you're not too inundated with takers, Jim Bob, I'll take you up on your kind offer. Edward Edited to make the UBB code work [ November 19, 2003, 04:00 PM: Message edited by: Edward Windsor ]

Goddamn, that was fast. That's what I like about you Axe, you're in like Flynn! Which scenario, maggot?

OK, I've played with the demo. Looks luverly, but I can't get too excited about anything other than PBEM. Anyone up for it? Either scenario, as long as I'm the Allies Teddy Edited to add: Actually both scenarios look suitable to BDLRM. Is the Cheery Wafflers answer to Mother Theresa interested, or are there too many turns? [ November 19, 2003, 03:30 PM: Message edited by: Edward Windsor ]

According to some dodgy internet site, it works out at a little more than twenty quid a game, including shipping. A small price to pay to leave the Eastern Front behind (on a related note, sorry Mikey but you're coming out of my sig). Come on all you Western Europeans, let's sock it to CDV good Teddy

*yawn* Been there, done that. (Just to further enrage Soddball) Maybe I could cap it off by posting spoilers since I've already played the two scenarios. Oh what a great day. </font>

Only 87 minutes until the demo is residing on my hard drive ... muhahahahahahaha!

Brrrrrr!!!!! It's kind of cold and dark in here. With a faint smell of damp or mould. Was it something I said?

So that's it? So long and thanks for all the fish? Smeg. Where the hell is CMAK? I've virtually wound up all my CMBB duels (apart from Mike, who's gone walkabout after the New Zealand game) and I'm damned if I'm playing the AI again ... it's too challenging after PBEMing with you maggots :mad: :mad: :mad: Teddy

Let's hope the Frogs find that as inspirational as New Zealand did :mad: :mad: :mad: CMAK, CMAK, CMAK, CMAK ... CMAK, CMAK, CMAK, CMAK ...

Me too. Fingers crossed everyone gets through it as well as they can. I was actually discharged from my oncology clinic yesterday after eight years of check-ups, x-rays and scans (in case you start feeling sympathetic, don't - it was nothing major). I didn't realise how much it was affecting me until I started driving home from hospital ... maybe it was the surprise of it all being over, or maybe I had something in my eye, or maybe it was the thought of everything I've done with my life in the meantime (wife and two kids), but I felt pretty overwhelmed. Whatever, all the best and I have a vague idea what you're going through (as, I suspect, most people have). Teddy

The offer still stands On a completely unrelated note, do you think MG is now posting as Napalmikuolema? Teddy PS Glad you killed a little time with the AAR, Dave. I have to admit I was a little uncomfortable too when a brace of Tigers turned up, especially as I'd suggested playing the scenario in the first place. But then I figured, what the hell? and settled back to enjoy the rare sight of KVs popping. It's the first and probably last time I'll use Big Cats in CMBB.
