All around the crescendo of artillery bursting in an unending sonnet. 122mm's, 152mm's, 280mm's, one after the other in an unceasing cascade Boggs awoke, sweat pouring from his brow. He was in a hospital, his left leg in a cast from his ankle to his hip. A nearby nurse looked up and saw that he was awake, "Gretchen", she called to another nurse nearby, "Get the Colonel, the Captain is awake." Boggs noticed a calendar. Three days had passed since he last remembered anything. He had been assigned to probe the Russian positions. HQ was concerned about a build-up, but couldn't determine the strength. The mission had been a nightmare from start to finish. All along the route Russian artillery rained down without let-up and in increasing calibers as the mission progressed. His assault teams had been blasted by heavy artillery fire while hidden in their assembly points deep in the woods. He had reported the heavy artillery concentrations to his battalion commander and was gathering up what remnants he could muster for one final assault when he was hit by a blast of artillery fire and fell unconscious. He was stirred from his thoughts by the approach of Colonel von Blucher, his regimental commander. The Colonel strode up to his bed and smartly saluted the startled captain. "My dear captain, you mission was a complete success. The intel you gathered about the enemy artillery enabled us to deduce the enemy's strength and intentions. We were able to smash a corps counter-attack because of your efforts. It seems that there was an ammo shortage as well amongst the artillery units so when it ran out, we moved forward and.....well, the slaughter was immense. The Russians in this sector have completely collapsed" Boggs sat up, "But sir, what of my opponent in this fight. I found out his name was Mikeovich. Any word on his fate?" The Colonel paused, "Yes, now that I think of it. He was blamed for the disaster and shot. Well, you get better, I have to return to the front. Once again, Congratulations." With that he turned and exited the hospital bay, leaving Boggs to ponder the amazing twists and fates of war.

Yeah, we got some new type ammo at the Supply Dump. Boy those ricochet shells get a lot of hits, but don't seem to do much damage. Maggot!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Hey Axe You already got a Thread on the Board over there. And you've got Peng posting in it. We should make that one the first one. How Sweet!

Hey Keke! Should we claim this Thread on behalf of Maggots everywhere? Axe did start it ya know. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Excellent job guys. Really well written. Those dust clouds would seem to open up a whole new venue of options, including deception. Nice touch there! Of course it inspires one to want to play, but for the meantime, we can play it through your AAR. Thanks Guys!!

And Now for some GOOD NEWS! The new CMAK FORUM is up and running. Check it OUT!!!!!!

Maggots!!!! The new CMAK FORUM is up and running. Check it OUT!!!!

BFC SWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!

Hey! I was told that I had to wear mine every time I posted or else the security field surrounding the Forum would deflect my posts! They said this only applies to those whose member numbers are over 11,000. Do I have to keep wearing it? :confused:

MrSpkr I think you should buy SC immediately. Take a week to become familiar and then I will be most happy to kick your Okie arse in a PBEM. For the good of BFC of course.

Whoa!!! :eek: Two thoughts in one day!!!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: You better go lie down now, I'm sure you are exhausted.

Sheesh!! He'a a lawyer for pete's sake! What did you expect. His firm's name is: Loopholes R Us Duh!!!

Please explain why this would be an unfortunate thing? :confused: :confused: :confused:

I believe it to be much more serious than this. I am afraid the good wino is turning into a Grog. I'm sure, at first, it was just a simple desire to experiment with Grogginess. He certainly was well qualified. The ancient British Naval tradition of serving Grog to the crew was, I am sure, his motivation. Sadly, he has begun taking on the telltale signs of grogdom. In our current game he has admitted to using covered arcs for his machine guns and has used the term kill zones on more than one occaision. Last night's turn was accompanied by a message that sent chills down my back. In it he tried to explain that his heavy use of artillery in our battle was an attempt to disrupt my troops who were assembling for an assault. He voiced his hope that the artillery fire might prove useful!!! Not a mention of splodey things or clankety thingies, or even TNT Chuckin. No taunt or insulting verbiage, just a rather forlorn, almost apologetic tone. To mike_the_confused I say: Come back before it's too late. Do not end up like Andreas or Emrys. Get a gallon of MD 2020 and relive your past glories. I just hope it's not too late.

BAH!! You are premature in your retirement of this so-called Mortal Enemy. Surely he has read this Thread and now realizes what a sad lot you are and is probably reaching for the lubricant right now in preparation for his Dramatic Return. The man is clearly a genius. It is our task, no..duty to encourage further comedic outbursts on his part. He will come to appreciate our efforts one day.

Hmmmm, I used to think you were alright Becket but now that you've admitted to keeping this pair of reprobates in your mind for more than a fleeting moment, I'm not so sure anymore...... </font>

If this is your quaint way of asking for a rematch, then I will send a suitable pure armor set-up your way tonight. A small affair involving T-34s vs PzIvF2's.

Are you by any chance referring to Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos? It was my understanding that they were based on actual missions. I mean Junior was killed and replaced by that English Chap Percy. So it had to be real. Right? :confused: [edit]-Besides Nick Fury would kick Sgt Rock's ass any day of the week!!! :mad: :mad: [ October 06, 2003, 10:39 AM: Message edited by: Jim Boggs ]
