Dignity is not going to make up for the buffoonish stupidity that you exhibit on a regular basis. Did you....I wonder send our game file to Boo Radley , I will have to ask him. Since you sent me...your game file with him, I am just wondering you know.

Why do we even care? Let them fight over their symbols.....fat men in speedos offend me, well they used to offend me until I became a fat man myself, but I never wore a speedo even when I was slim and in shape.....so go figure.

You do realize that he is Abbott, right? I mean, the entire RND persona is a joke, intentionally created to mock a stereotype of the dumb American target audience that some said CM:SF was targeted at. You're not actually taking him seriously, are you? </font>

Not really, it happens with member numbers a lot lower too.

Shut yer gob....you pasty faced mutton eater. Do you want me to tell everyone how you found this supposedly balanced battle between a Russian company and a battlion of fanatic Romanian infantry with huge guns and Vampire like powers of not dying. In fact I think the title of this unholy thing is "Uncle Joe's bright faced boys in the Valley of the Undead"

What a dark day.....when we listen to the ravings of a lunatic Gnome, not only for entertainment, but also in matters of policy.

Is that Panzer Leader , or a gone to the dogs Lou Ferrigno?

Jesus was denied three times, according to the Gospel...you should consider yourself in good company.

Happy Birthday Story Teller. Seems like we have a lot of excellent Taureans in this group......well maybe NG excepted.

yes, but for different reasons. Syrians would be wiped out because of US skill in all levels, from tactical to strategical, and especially at levels above tactical. Syrians would have the best chances at tactical level, and that's where CMSF takes place. it's up to the player to make Syrian or American forces perform well. just like you can kick German ass in CMBB in June 1941, you can serve the fascist Sturmtruppen... oops, liberating Shock Force i mean... a bitter dinner. i honestly don't see how they would be that overmatched in the game. Syrians have plenty of good equipment. </font>

US Army has gotten smaller, battle worn and is tied down in Iraq, while Syria has been training & studying & equipping herself for a semi-asymmetrical light force doctrine? unless Syrians send their tanks to the Syrian Desert, or just walk away, i have hard time seeing what Iraqi failures have to do with Syrians. why did Iraqis manage to hide their tanks in plain desert, if Syrians can't do the same in urban or mixed terrain? </font>

I'm not going to debate with you over this point Elmar. Suffice to say, that I have noticed a certain "trend" in the writings of Peter Cairns over the months, perhaps it is faulty perception on my part or some hypersensitivity to the issue. The fact that others notice it too, does not reinforce my position, because we all could be totally wrong. Nothing needs to be excused IMO because we all have our opinions, and the written word can be taken many ways...let's just leave it at that.

What tosh! No US citizenship is required to understand the words he used, basic English reading skills will suffice. Any offence is solely contained in your "extrapolation" and what you "perceived" to be written. </font>

Compared to what?

No amount of "cover" will protect Syrian mobile forces from this. JSTARS

And armed with this dubious observation, you are confident that the Syrians stand a fiddlers chance against armed intervention by the US Military? The only thing I can imagine here, is what has happened in Iraq happening all over again. Conventional combat ends very quickly as the Syrian armed forces are either decimated on the battlefield, or cast off their uniforms, abandon their equipment and go home. Later on, a guerilla style war commences and now you have the IED and the carbomb and more civilian casualties than military. Occasional ambushes and small scale strikes take place, but anything resembling conventional combat ceases, unless it is initiated by the Americans. I am still trying to visualise how CM:SF can be balanced enough at any level of play to offer us a fun experience.

This was in 1991, what is the improvement curve between the U.S. Army and the Syrian Army in the last 15 years? IMO unless the Syrians race all of their tanks across the border into Jordan and hide them there, they will wind up as so much scrap as did the Iraqi armored force. Where could they possibly hide groups of tanks and other vehicles, from the prying eyes of infra-red, TV and Laser designation from on the ground assets?? They would have to bury them IMO and operate them by remote control.

You know I never figured out how to do that. </font>

Jesus, Lad, how old are you...twelve? </font>

Jesus, Lad, how old are you...twelve? Look, don't pay any mind to that fool Sir Sir 37mm , you know how eccentric and off kilter these English can get. Its got something to do with all those years of running an empire, now that they really have nothing to do but grow roses and drink tea....they can get a bit testy [ May 05, 2006, 04:14 PM: Message edited by: Nidan1 ]
