Here's a hint: that pitter-patter on your head is not rain. You are right, you are not anyone's pissboy, you are everyone's pissboy. Whether or not you choose to hold up your bucket is a different matter.</font>

Don't worry Yeknod, I've got my veterinary sword ready...just in case... Persephone</font>

Well, I like the cut of this one - got an unpronouncable name, Northern and feisty and tends towards psychological imbalance. Have we checked the teeth? *sniff* I wish to recommend this one as serf and possible Squire to see how he fares and guide 'im Westwards, as it were. Justicar!, acknowledge. Yeknod o' tha Thistle and Defender of the Paddock</font>

Barton-upon-Humber? Oh me gawd. This one has fine credentials and some spunk too. To take on Me Lady with such brazen disregard for personal safety. Though confused too, I may suggest, because didnot Scunthorpe soar to the upper end of that league? I think so, eighth. And didnot not Grimsby plummet to just three places above relegation? I fear they will drop some more. Yeknod o' tha Thistle and Defender of the Paddock</font>

That bit he wrote about his ancestral home of, what was it called? Scumthorpe? On the basis of that piece being so unbelievably weird and disconnected from all ordinary social intercourse, couldn't we rush his application through and make him pissboy? Pissboy of a fictitious House, an X-house, a non house, a mere placeholder for misfits, a halfway house (halfway to Canturbury by the looks of it, wink wink, nudge nudge) I mean just a place where he can sit and think and scratch his pair and <big>be a part of the tourney.</big> Whuddaya say, pleeez ? Only because otherwise I'd be in a bit of a jam. I already sent off the file.</font>

Ale, fish and chips AND 5,000 motorcycles... of course this marks out Scunthorpe as a place of reverie and discernment populated by poets and lucscious Lincolnshire biker-babes? At total odds to the rundown heap that is Grimsby, that boil on a noble estuary that feeds the glories of Cleethorpes from where any fish 'n' chip connoisseur can satisfy their need at Steels or stroll along the front and breathe the sweet smell of mud. And doesn't Grimsby Town FC know this to be true? Lest we forget that Blundell Park is not actually in Grimsby but in Cleethorpes? Forever nomads in the butt-end of Division One, whereas The Steel heroically champion their home crowd. *sigh* now it could have been worse. It could have been Hull. Yeknod o' tha Thistle and Defender of the Paddock</font>

AfterCatLitter, please escort the (sic) Swedish Gruyere and yerself down to the paddock for Scunthorpe activities. I require Julie Andrews dress and swinging handbags to the refrain of "Scunthorpe, oh me sunny, Scunny Scunthoooorpe" It gets me excited. Yeknod o' tha Thistle and Defender of the Paddock</font>

ArseKisser, don't you ever disgrace Yeknod's most beloved Scunthorpe ever again! It's the garden city of England...lots of thistles. I think you owe the Donkey an apology. Persephone</font>

many thanks to all of you for your varied answers. It seems that there is no "black and white" answer and that the terrain you are on and the kind of mission you are carrying out will decide what is the best way to deal with this problem. Once again, thanks guys

When advancing platoons to contact, and if you want to move them there quickly, how do you go about getting your HMG/MMG there with them. It seems that I have to spend 1 turn waiting for them to catch up as you cannot issue the Run command to them, and if you don't have any vehicles to carry them forward, this can be a bit of a problem. Any thoughts?

Man, you get up early in the morning!

All this talk of sending people to Coventry is disturbing. Have you actually asked the people of that fine City if they want to indulge your cast offs? And Geer what is your obsession with Scunthorpe? Twice I have seen this in your posts, and it offends me, please refrain from mentioning that scummy town again, or else I'll be forced to inflict horrendous taunts to your personage and possibly challenge you to handbags at 20 paces. Or failing that, powder puffs at 10 paces.

I'm in too, prefer to play as Brits, but will fit in wherever!

Yes it is, have fun

Coventry is serious business Leeo, let's see if he's bright enough to KNOW how to edit his post and remove the offending length ... if not THEN Coventry. Mind you I tend to agree with you. Joe</font>

Now edit your post and insert a linebreak before we have to spread your entrails over the floor.</font>

Damn, if that isn't a hard colour font to read!! But to the point, I live in England, and I want the game, don't give a toss about the apparent "problems" with the cdv copy. My CM:BO is a cdv one, and I've had no problems with that. Just give me the freaking game, SS or no SS

hehehehehe.............hahahahahahahahha.................HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...............I love it when a plan comes together *skips through the woods with his band of frogs, swatting all before him*.......eh Bo? Eh Bo? [ July 11, 2002, 02:50 AM: Message edited by: athkatla ]

Ummmm, yeah man, I'll buy the freakin' game :cool:

Just d/l that Mod today, and converted them to .wav files. Have to say I prefer the new sounds you have made. Well done

Finnish Flag Colours?

But see? That's what I've been asking of you right from the get-go. Instead of sending your hapless French surrender-monkeys out one by one send them all out. Please. Do it now. I'm dying of ennui. (I hate to repeat myself, but as you spent so many years in the British Army, you've already demonstrated that you're a little on the "slow" side, so here goes again. "I'm not coming into the woods looking for you. I'm quite happy where I am, thank you very much. Now go watch the telly until your eggy-weggy is done."</font>

Look! A nerdling. Why is it? Johan</font>

I do believe I've seen a mod somewhere for putting gridlines on your maps

Like.......I could care less
