  1. Because Nidan1 I have dedicated myself to a life of service. And much like the alien spaceship that came and jump started the evolution of humans in the movie 2001 a Space Odyssey, I volunteer my time in here so that hopefully one day unfortunates like you may aspire to better things than scratching yourselves and drooling into a bucket.

    With help, you might actually be able, one day, to spend your time collecting carts in a Walmart parking lot or scraping roadkill from the asphalt of your local highway.

    Because you see, Nidan1, I am all about helping my fellow man.

    No, don't thank me. The sparkle in your unfocused and slightly askew eyes is thanks enough

    Oh, I see cavscout, speaking strictly in metaphor now, you are saying you're like that primitive ape-like creature that first picked up the bone to use as a tool? Or you are like a senseless, monolithic, block of black polished granite?

    It all makes sense to me now, you have helped me a lot thanks!

  2. Your timing would need to be precise, and control of the unit waypoints would also need minute control.

    The time delay and random variables that play a role in artillery missions would make following a linear barrage quite dicey IMO.

    I have never done it, but you might want to try a few tests out first to see if it is viable. Or just wait a few minutes for one of the real game mechanics experts to pop in and add his knowledge.

  3. Nidan1, you old Gyrene so and so. I can't believe they still give you access to the internet after that last pyramid scheme fiasco in Eastern Ohio. Just an indication of the depths to which our society has fallen I suppose.

    Shouldn't you be off somewhere instructing naive coeds in self defense tactics "Like they taught in the Corps"? Now that I mention it, that sounds like good work if you can get it..... hmmm

    Wait, where was I? Oh yeah... talking with you lot. I should find better things to do, oh, there we go, some gum to scrape off the bottom of diner tables.

    It is quite good work, but I have been retired these last five years and no longer teach.

    You're still working in the diner? I would have thought by now you would have found more gainful employment.

  4. Bloody lovery, just like the olde daze. Who wants them back? Who wants Shaw back?

    Not a lot of good material for the MBT in the current lot on the BFC forums. They are too busy whining about paying for ugrades, or discussing the merits of how many AT teams a German infantry battalion should have to really put their brains to work and come up with humorous and cutting edge insults. I guess its just the new generation. (queue Roger Daltrey).

  5. I just completed a game of CMRT with NG Cavscout that resulted in a draw. I was, admittedly, more concerned with testing the TCP/IP connection than with the results of the scenario or clearly he wouldn't have gained a point on me but I'm willing to abide by the the result as OFFICIALLY posted on results screen displayed in the game.

    Sadly he was not, in fact he was more than just a little snippy about it and claimed it as a win despite the OFFICIAL game results as shown on the end game screen.

    As a result I'd ask the membership to be especially kind to him in his time of trial, he may not post here for a time ... I imagine it's difficult to type with your eyes brimming with tears.

    You actually completed a game? I find that truly amazing, based on your MO of bailing out of games before completion.

  6. Whaddayamean comedic? No comedy in those lyrics. Roger Waters was never known for his comedic lyrics. Vitriol perhaps, but comedy...

    Had Roger Waters known about the Cesspool in 1975, this is the song he would have written. Fer sure.

    Waters was a musical genius, you however fall somewhere lower than cretin. Other Roger Waters lyrics come to mind when thinking of your brain power Hello, is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me.

  7. How I wish, how I wish you were not here.

    You are all lost souls, swimming in a Cesspool.

    Year after year.

    Running over the same old ground.

    What have you found?

    The same old fears.

    Which you were not here.

    You should return quickly to making new scenarios.

    Think about it, if we were not here you would have no where to post your feeble attempts at comedic rhyming. Actually I give you more credit than you deserve for even calling it comedic.

  8. "Mold creatures"? What the hell is a "mold creature"???

    Have you been watching old Flash Gordon serials again, or has some kind of semi-sapient species finally evolved from the old pile of underpants you have in that abattoir of hope you call a home.

    They weren't mold creatures you simpleton, they were clay men, big difference.

    I think that maybe your Buster Crabbe Body Controller Shirt may be cutting the circulation to your brain housing.

  9. I really doubt 17th SS was even in the same league as the 12th. It was mostly comprised of conscripted volksdeutche and not exactly superbly equipped.

    Not entirely true....some of its members were Romanian German conscripts which were brought in to bring the division up to strength in 1944. It was raised from scratch in 1943. Green in the context of this discussion?, probably.

    You are right about its equipment. The division was rushed to Normandy, and a lot of its armor and mechanized equipment took awhile to catch up. They did fight fairly well in Normandy from June through August, when they were pulled off the line. I still contend that combat experience is not the sole element to predict how a unit will fight. On an individual level it may be true that exposure to combat will make a soldier tougher and more likely to survive. But unit cohesion and effectiveness in combat is based on training, comraderie, leadership and undefinable elements that take over in the chaos of a battle.
