Bah, that was just a poor HT that could not get away in time. How was I supposed to know that you would be coming at the village from three sides. I thought I had hidden him well behind a house...I was wrong. Now send me the turn so I can spank your butt some more.

I am SO not going to get into some weird discussion with you over this. Everyone can see what you wrote in your post and that is why I replied. [ December 14, 2002, 03:59 PM: Message edited by: Leutnant Hortlund ]

No, I dont think so. I know him from another forum, and he never trolled there. At least nothing I ever noticed.

Charming attitude...did you accidentally sit down on a cattle prod or something? [ December 14, 2002, 03:45 PM: Message edited by: Leutnant Hortlund ]

Get the turn over here instead of trying to scare me. I have two more PzIIIs right behind that one. AHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAA

One of MG's T-70s discovers the dangers of driving alone along a road: [ December 14, 2002, 02:54 PM: Message edited by: Leutnant Hortlund ]

Why do you assume that everyone is a clone of everyone else and thinks the same exact way? Some people want extra help and tips, and some people want to be left alone. If you put it in the manual, everyone gets every tip. If you allow other people the option of buying extra help, those people will be happy and everyone will be happy. Are you going to buy a book or not? </font>

But if we are supposed to figure it out for ourselves, and that is the reason they didnt put it in the manual...then why the he** give out a tips and tricks book?

So you really expect a 400 page manual? Come on... Martin</font>

WTF... So can someone give me a good reason as to why information like that was left out of the users manual that comes with the game? [ December 13, 2002, 03:59 PM: Message edited by: Leutnant Hortlund ]

Panzer, your incoherent ramblings in this thread and your slightly amusing, yet tragic ramblings in the other thread reminded me why you owe me a setup. To be perfectly honest I had forgotten about it, and your vicious post directed at me left me in a strangely bewildered state. Like a Budhist monk pondering over the sound of one hand clapping I sat at my office staring at the screen "why did I think he owed me a setup" I thought..."was it all a dream? A wild and beautiful dream..or was it some figment of imagination stemming from a thoroughly drunk mind?" Then, when I read your 34-second thread. And I swear, I did not want to read it, it was more like the situation you face when you pass a horribly ugly girl with an enormous big nose in a bar...you dont want to look, but yet you cant help it because "WOW that is a big nose you think...is it really THAT big?" So you look and stare when you dont think she sees you. She notice how you are looking at her and thinks you are interested in her. You on the other hand panic as you realize that she is looking at you now and you force yourself not to look, but then you think "I have to make sure that she doesnt look at me right now" so you look at her, and she was looking at you and now she thinks "yes, he likes me, that is the only reasonable explanation to why hes looking at me all the time". And you panic again, worse this time and you order in lots of shooters and beer thinking "if Im drunk enough, she will leave me alone" but soon you find yourself staring like crazy at her and generally you are behaving like a baboon on a bad acid trip. (Then you end up following her back to her place, and when you wake up the next morning you just want to cry/join the foreign legion and you feel an uncontrollable urge to scrub your entire body with iodine). Then I thought "I've seen these incoherent ramblings before...yes, I recognize the so-very-not-logic arguments presented with the finesse of a drunken elephant having a panic attack inside a small porcelain gift shop." You know why you owe me a setup, you STALKER. Anyway, the 34-second thread inspired me to write a small poem in your honour: Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and your thread was cute. But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head. Setup please.

You would not be the SirLoin of AH fame now would you?

muahahahahaAHAHAHA <-- evil laughter My cunning plan to lure him into a false sense of security by letting him destroy all my armor is working like clockwork.

I thought the Germans ran into T-34s on day two or three down in the south? I cant remember the place right now Radzwicou..something? I'll check my sources and get back to you.

Personally I havent gotten past the setup phase yet. AMD 1800+, 512 Ram, GF2. Its like click on unit, wait one second before unit is selected. Press deploy button, wait one second. Turn the camera, looks like choppy slowmotion hack hack hack. Move camera forward, more choppy slowmotion chop chop chop. Click on where the unit is supposed to go, wait two seconds. Move camera back to next unit, chop chop chop....etc etc I've done about one tenth of a setup in maybe four or five attempts, when I get bored enough I save to return another day.

Wouldnt it be a good idea to cover all the roads in the US with fox pee? That way the deer wont ever find the roads = no more accidents. Pzleader, do you owe me a setup or did I dream that?

Reading about the Madonna of Stalingrad (I think it was on this forum actually) and the reactions of the soldiers who saw it almost made me cry (yeah, Im a wuss sometimes).

Where is pee boy? He owes me a turn.

hahahhahAHHAHahahahAHAHAHahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA I am a voter! Fear me, for I will make use of the vicious and evil Florida voting machines. Gentlemen, prepare your pregnant chads and dimples and uh..whatever they used.

I'm quite sure the battle was very exciting and not "a massacre at all". However, my concern is what took place after the battle. The knowledge we have about who was fighting, why they were fighting, and what happened after the battle is enough for me to say that I would never want to play either side in that scenario. It just leaves a bad taste. Just as it would leave a bad taste if we were to see some US "hurry to Malmedy to save the POW's before they are gunned down"-scenario or some "Liberate Dachau"-operation. As I said, there are certain aspects of ww2 that should not be included in a game like this. It should be shouted from the rooftops, and printed in all the books, but we should not "play" about it.

I have no doubt that your intentions are good, and I have no doubt that the battle you have made is a really good one. Nevertheless I think you should scrap it. It just leaves a bad taste to "recreate" certain aspects of ww2. There are other "battles" that shouldnt be simulated either. The second Warsaw uprising would be an example of one of those.

Defender of the Crown!! *sniff* I had forgotten that one. I dont think there will ever be a greater game. Ahh the feeling when your well aimed catapult shots broke down the wall of the defending castle. Am I the only one who always played light blue, because then you got Robin Hood on your side most of the time?

Oh man, pirates...I loved that one. Or Elite on the C64...now there is a game.

You obviously never played "Hero" on the commodore 64.
