Ok, I'll concede to feminine perogative. Do you have a game preference?

Send me a set up, game does not matter, I'll keep you busy for awhile.

From experience, I can tell you that the HMG would be the last weapon to open up in a prepared defense line, at night or in poor visibility. The HMGs ability to "reach out" and put fire on an enemy at great distances is well known. However most infantry are taught to save the fire of the MGs until the enemy is close to the line and visible, probably at ranges of 200m or less. I dont remember 'pre registering" MGs, we did however clear fields of fire that would allow us to cover a wide area of the perimeter. If we were firing the MGs at night, we tried to keep them to short bursts of three of four rounds at a time. The MGs were prime targets, and you did not want to give away their positions too early in a fight. I would imaging the doctrine on WWII was similar. The only time the MGs let loose was during the "final protective fire" stage, when the enemy was close in, and in a position to dominate the action. The M-60 MG circa 1960's was a deadly weapon out to ranges of 600-800 meters. Especially when mounted on a tripod. However in Vietnam most actions took place at ranges of less than 200 meters, sometimes less than 50 meters, and the weapon was only used with the bi-pod, the tr-pod was too heavy to carry around. I recently read a book about the move up to Baghdad last April. Most Iraqi infantry causualties were caused by the 50cal MGs mounted on Tanks and AFVs and the chain guns on Bradleys. By the time the infantry had deployed, the Iraqis were in flight from these weapons.

Speedy, while moving up a mountain pass, encountered what is called a "tank bag", needless to say his tanks remain in the bag, the smoke and flame is getting distracting however. Lars, managed to pull out a very minor victor, in spite of the fact that he heavily outnumbered my poor, cold German soldiers. As well as shooting from the comfort of a heated factory. Thank you Miss Kitty .

I believe that was the same MO that Jeffrey Dahlmer used. He had a lot of permanent guests, I think.

It doesn't matter where I'm located, I could still scruff up your sorry ass in a battle. You're MINE Radley!! face it, you will be much more at peace if you do. MUUUHAHAHAHA!

I'm thinking the first two are probably true, from what I hear, number three is probably false.

Whaddaya mean "add...screw-ups made with arial [sic] bombing and artillery strikes"? CM already boasts those "features" in plenitude. If anything, they'd have to tone it down a tad to depict improvements in technique over two intervening decades. :confused: Michael </font>

Sound familiar, you sorry windbag? How about following your own advice. Try a swig Angastora Bitters, a sure fire way to control that gas problem of yours.

**crawls up from the darker reaches of the Cess** Lesbians??? Sex??? Love?? World War Two???, now there is somehing vaguely familiar. **falls back into stupor** ahh, now that's better, my preciousssss.

Where did your computer go? Was it sucked up in the same tornado that took Dorothy and Todo? Switch from black&white to technicolor: Processor chip to hard drive: Gee hard drive...I dont think we are in Kansas anymore. Hard Drive to Processor chip : I hope tiny_tanker doesnt miss us. Processor chip to Hard Drive: not to worry Hard Drive, he is too much of a twit, he probably won't notice we are gone for a couple of days. Hard Drive to Processor Chip: Holy ethernet, Processor Chip!...was that a monkey with wings?

Yeah, thats a bummer, sort of like trying to find the end of a rainbow and the pot of gold.

I have some excellent homemade tarragon honey mustard....wonderful for making deviled eggs. You are right though, best to dispel any further images of Hiram and his unmentionables. [ January 01, 2004, 11:13 AM: Message edited by: Nidan1 ]

Say Hiram , could you make it those undershorts that you have been wearing for a week? You know how stuffy it can get down here. </font>

Just watching replays of New Year celebrations in various cities, on FOX News. As the NYC ball drop was shown, the bottom of the screen, which displays annoying commentary that usually has nothing to do with what one is watching read.... Federal Fighter Jets patrol the skies over New York City/ WTF is a FEDERAL FIGHTER JET? What is wrong with these people?

You know what? Leftover spaghetti and meatballs..heated up in the microwave tastes really good in the morning, when you're hungover.

Life in the fast lane...don't it make you lose your mind?!!! Communist subversives eh? We will have to do something about that, now won't we? We must summon the Grue, arm him with a large, heavy, edged weapon, and set upon a mission of destruction, what's that? you say the Grue is drunk?, So much the better....summon him!!!

Back, by popular demand!!!! Hey, what happened to the previous thread? It seems that pages 9 through 11 are unviewable now, whats up with that? ** takes a handful of aspirin ** in a vain attempt to quiet the pounding in my head.

Happy New Year, you pathetic bunch of losers...hey wait a minute....I'm posting in here too...oh well, we can all go through this new year together. BTW Aces_and_8s ending 2003, by suffering a catastrophic loss, not only of face, but of tactical acumen as well. (maybe he never had any?) My Ubertruppen soundly trounced his Russian hordes. Traversing 800 meters of open terrain, under fire, they soundly sent the poor peasants running for the map edge.

Happy New Year, you bunch of juvenile TNT slinging twits. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's not this Bundy...is it?

The Eve thing was invented for the kids...its when Santa Claus delivers the presents...of course thats a truly secular adaptation...so we might as well just get drunk, since we're not kids anymore. Merry Christmas Speedy
