Mmmmmmm... I love the smell of "AWPed" German tank commanders in the morning. Don't you, AXEadent?

...tad of sadomasochism on my behalf just completed silent hill 2, that's put me off console gaming for another six months! Intense pointless wandering action! Playing X-Com UFO defence and landing an Avenger full of Laser rifle armed rookies at a terror site in the nightime gave me more chills than SH2. SH3 just came out too. $50 for less than 6 hours of gameplay. Bah, enemic monsters, pointless key hunts, and a main character dumber than the most green of soviet tanks crews can't ever hope to create the terror caused by "Cherry Waffle" *Flashback in final hallway before end fight* "Flowers!? I don't want any damn flowers!" "Who said anything about flowers? I brought you some nice fresh... :mad: MOLDY TNT AND ANT RIDDEN WAFFLES YOU WORTHLESS MAGGOT! GARARGARGARG! :mad: " Now there is true horror...

Mrs. Goodale: *Sighs*...The two-year old is twelve and you wonder why I think you've been on the computer too much. I got rid of it and it's gonna be a long time before I will allow you to have another!! With any luck Goodale should be able to find an internet cafe that doesn't have a "No TNT" policy. "GARARGARARGARG!! :mad: :mad: :mad: EAT LEAD MAGGOT GAARAGARAGARAG loser gets to pick up my Mocha tab :mad: "

Nippy has rendered an assault gun of mine quasi-useless, which, coincidentally, describes the majority of you slack-jawed freaks. Given the early forces in Cheery Waffle, it seems that Soddball has moved from booze to crack. I received some reinforments on turn 4, their placement makes me question his sanity. Not to mention the map itself forces both sides to be edge hugging gamey bastages. I will say one thing, there's never a dull moment in this one. The AAR is going to make for fine reading. As for elsewhere: Robohn - Advancing ever slowly towards my MLR. A few of his tanks have even begun to show up. I shall be bringing out my mechonized bread boxes to deal with them.

Really, hell's going to freeze over that fast? And now, an important message from Andy the Angry Red Headed Emote: "GARARAAGAR! Axe2121 more 152mm fun heading your way! And Robohn's n0 5k1lLZ SMG squads are going to meet the fate detailed in the previous Cherry Waffle thread. GARARAGARG! Free AP40!" - :mad:

Great, you can write you own obituary. Anyway, here's another news flash for all you TNT loving freaks: Axe2121 - Hope your troops have good life insurance. Then again, with what's coming up later, we'll both need it. Robohn - I'll turn this one over to my military expert, Andy the Angry Red Headed Emote: "GARAGARARG! SMG squads really get me angry, and you wouldn't like it when I'm angry GARARARGARG! Unlike the game with PlatCmdr, German forces will not go head to head with these PPSH using n0 5k1lLz freaks. Instead they (the Russian you dopes) shall be bombed with off map arty, peppered with MG-42 HMG fire, and finally finished off with some direct fire HE rounds. Feel free to quote me on that GARARAGARAGARAGAR!" - :mad: Edit: Because the great Zionist Conspircy used to power of the kosher bagel to mess with my spelling.

I intend to. </font>

Wow! Hack2121 managed to kill two 85mm AA guns that only had HE ammo by using two assault guns, two 88s, and some infantry. But please, Laxative2121 keep boasting about your "great victories" and giving away your active force disposition to me. "GARAGAAARAGAR" Indeed... :mad: P.S. You got some HE lovin in your in box.

Battles of Napoleon (Yup, the old DOS game. Runs good on my old 386 laptop!) I finally got "X-COM UFO Defence" running on my 2.0GHZ comp with Windows XP. Talk about bringing back memories! One of the few games I've played that shows the interations between what happens on the battle field and what happens in the planning room.

Oh yes, it's a barrel of laughs with you guys. Robohn - Hey! I thing I saw a Shwerpunkt! *BAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAMBAM* Hey, I hear SMG squads. I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you! I would have never seen that coming! Axe2121 - Has showed me the joys of PBEM helper. Now his failure is automated.

Oh dear, I just got an E-mail from Shosties4th and it seems his modem has gone the way of GoodAle's brain. Burned out and useless. He says he'll be offline for a week or so till he switches over to cable. Cable...lucky bastage. Turns are out to the rest of you lunitics though...

Okay Children, here's the line up: Axe2121 - Has gotten the charges reduced to "lewd conduct with a garden hose" and is out on bail. He also finally sent me a turn of the infamious "Cherry Waffle". Be warned Axe187, I tried PBEM helper and auto-ziping of the game file so God only know what will happen. :eek: Speaking of Godly knowlege and Waffles, just what was the point allocation for each side in "Cherry Waffle"? I fear for the worst as the battle is set in May of 45'. I expect a parade of JS-3s and T-44s at any moment, as my forces right now seem almost "normal". Robohn - Helped me find a bug in one of my maps by showing QBs and mulit-color setups zones don't mix. Shosties4th - "Gee Comrade, I sure hope there isn't a TRP in the center of the woods we are hiding in." Forward my conscript emoties! Forward! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Besides, they're right next door to the Americans, whose only culture grows in vats. I'll have you know America has lots of culture! Things like: Pop music! Rap music! Pre torn and dirtied jeans! Fatty foods that give you heart attacks! Movies that aren't cluttered by stupid things like "plot" or "character development"! Pepsi! Date rape drugs! Binge drinking! Reality TV shows! ...on second thought, I'll take the stuff in the vats. [ June 13, 2003, 11:41 AM: Message edited by: Nippy ]

Hey Nippy. I'll get to the Cheery Waffle setup tomorrow. Which for you is last week. Axe2121, time traveller. And I thought the medication the Doctor gave me made me loopy. So... Axe2121 - Is time traveling into the past to tell his past self that, "no", she won't press charges. Robohn - Is not only very prompt with turns, but also managed to say out of my LOS during the setup phase. Shosties4th - You're buying forces, not the Crown Jewels. So make with the turn. More madness to be posted later. I'm off to work now. Edit: I'm baaccckkkk! :mad: [ June 13, 2003, 03:20 AM: Message edited by: Nippy ]

AAR? Excellent. Turn by turn? Even better. We'll be able to share your excrutiating loss and humiliation with the world. Just keep taking those narcotics and they'll dull the pain. Something tells me it will read more like a lovecraft novel. I.e. unspeakable horror and everyone involved either dead or insane. PlatCmdr - With the 3 PBEMs I got now and some pesky real world commitments I'm not quite ready for a rematch. However, I'll glady take you up on the chance for revenge...er...offer in 2 or 3 weeks.

Sorry for the mix up...wait, no I'm not, but I'm high as a kite instead. However, like mom always says: "A promise made is a debt unpaid". She also said "I had a dream last night about sticking you old man's head under water...it felt good." so I don't put too much stock into what she says. Anyway, Shosties4th is in luck as I just so happen to have another map that I had set up for a early war soviet counter attack that I can use. I'll just take out the forces, use the map in the QB, and then I'll be ready to blow both your sorry asses back to Moscow. So here is battle lineup as it stands: Axe2121 - I think my 14.5kb setup file overloaded his Hotmail account. If you didn't get a setup from me for Cherry Waffle, let me know and I'll send it again. So far my forces seem somewhat normal, however, I await the horror that is to come with any re-enforcments. Since Soddball likes feedback on his creations, I'm going to do one of my turn-by-turn AARs on this one. Robohn - Gets to try out my late war soviet attack map by blasting his way through forests, hills, farms, and large rail/switching yard. Shosties4th - Gets to blow up a sleepy Russian village in the center of a forest. To make things interesing, I'm using Mech only forces. I wonder how many Flak30's I can buy with that... Edit: Like guns; posting and perscription narcotics don't mix. [ June 12, 2003, 04:02 AM: Message edited by: Nippy ]

Who's up for an attack or assault game. I have enough of MEs for the moment. I'll play Allied for a switch from my current games. Anyone? Anyone? I'll give it another go as the Germans. I have a soviet attack map I made that I've been wanting to try out. How does 1250 point Soviet Attack in June of 1944 sound?

Exactly right, even in their post war designs the Russians created some real rolling horror shows, i.e. the auto-loader on the main gun of t-55 to 62 series, that would chamber a man's arm if he wasnt fast enough, the BTR series of APC's that had the gas tanks in the rear doors, and the BMP series of AFVs, that could not be ridden in unless you were 5'2" or less. It was the BMP series that had the fuel cells in the rear doors. They had a real tendencay to brew up when hit. Although to their credit, they did set the standard for the modern APC (Light, fast, armed with auto cannon and AT missles, and hold around 6 to 10 men.) The Soviets had the BMP-1 while NATO troops still rode in .50 armed M113s. The BRT-60 and BRT-70 (8 wheeled APC) had the nifty "feature" of the side hatches being so small that troops in full combat gear couldn't fit through the doorway. Not very fun when under fire. I heard the the BRT-80 and other future models had this problem fixed.

Okay Axe Handle the smoldering heap of Gamieness known as Cherry Waffle has landed in my inbox. So I desided to "share the joy" by picking the Russians and passing the love (read: setup) to you. My game with PlatCmdr has come to an end. Let's just say that my troops were no match for the wave of SMG squads than ran over them like a steam roller. To top it all off, my mood also slighty less jolly (read :mad: ) thanks to my downloading of a ROM of the origianl X-COM UFO defence. It's like rushing Conscript T-34s at Crack Tigers. Too bad some of PlatCmdrs SMG squads weren't there. I'm sure they could have sent the aliens packing as no technology in extistance can stop a hoard of drunken Russians with PPSHs. Although I bet Gooieale himself would get a kick out of the game. Just fill a Skyranger (Holds 14 men) with raw recruits armed with nothing but pre-primed demolition charges. At the very least he could get the Goverment sponsers off my back: Monthly Rating -1500 (Terrible!) "The funding commitee is not happy with your preformance and has desided to reduce funding." "GARGARGRAGRARGARGARGARG :mad: I don't care what you think! I'm too busy chucking moldy TNT at aliens, maggots, and alien maggots! Cut into my TNT funds and I'll rip your lungs out through your ass! GARGARGARARG :mad: :mad: :mad: " [ June 11, 2003, 08:15 PM: Message edited by: Nippy ]

Well, had your Krauts not wandered into the bush to play grab-ass, there would have been no need for them to dance to the tune of my SMGs. And what, pray tell, was I supposed to do? Stand out in the open and watch entire squads get eliminated by a single burst of gunfire? I already went that route at the begining of the battle. And speaking of which, your forces now appear to be dancing right off the screen...perhaps the "heavy metal" was a bit too loud. They are falling back to the safty of the MG34-HMGs, as they are the only weapon my forces have that seem to have any effect on the vodka soaked ruskies. Edit: Because my spelling is the SuX0r.

Isn't WWIIOnline set in the conquest of France, 1940? </font>

P.S. I hate cheese. I really, really hate cheese. Speaking of cheese, has Soddball shipped "Cherry Waffle" yet? As for sides, I've desided on playing Allied. PlatCmdr has taught me the very valuable lesson that you should NEVER EVER go into the woods alone with a bunch of drunken Russians in the middle of the night.

My grand theory is that CMBB/BO commanders (and maybe military commanders in general) need to be much more like an AR personality than an AE personality. I always find the opposite true. You know the saying about no plan surviving contact with the enemy? And AE person has a much easier time making up plans "on the fly" then the AR person does. Sometimes you don't have hours to sit and plan your next move.

Interesting read to say the least. After both that and fiddling around in CMBB a bit, it seems like the Soviets should have been sending the Americans and Brits Lend Lease T-34/85 and JS-2. I was surpised about the commends concerning the Sherman's poor off road preformance. Here's a good read from the Soviet perspective: A Tiger! The gunner doesn't see it yet in the field of view of his gun sight. And the machine gunner fires a burst at the tank, like a shotgun against an elephant, to attract the gunner's attention. The gun's barrel is lowered immediately, a shot, and the armor piercing shell ricochets off the front armor. And it was only fifty meters! "Subcaliber!" - the gunner yells desperately. The breech block clanks, swallowing the round. Fortunately, both the tank's gun and its driver look upward while the tank hasn't got out of the hollow. The subcaliber shell hits the bottom of the turret at almost point blank range. Apparently, something burst inside, a blue light flashed from all of the AFV's holes. The AFV doesn't burst into flames, but the crew tries to bail out through the hatches. A machine gun burst finishes the business...

Ayee, I live, though the sight is not pretty. Being a small business is hard work, harder than than a big box of hardness, and today rode high on the suckage scale. I hear that; "OMG! These vinal floors are awful! They look so dirty! Do something...anything to make them look new!" *8 man hours of scrubbing, waxing, and various other tasks later* "My, this bill is rather large, was all that equipment use really needed? Couldn't you just have mopped it off or something" :mad: It's times like that when I wish I could hire Mrgoofball as a PR executive. "GGGARHRHGAHRGARH!!!! I battled ants and rabid maggots to make these floors clean! Now pay the bill or I shall shove a moldy waffle where the sun don't and then flood your email with an army of 'Mad' emotes!" :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
