[The Peng Challenge Thread Arises Like a Phoenix, From Arizona!]

Long ago, in a game forum far, far away, there lived an evil little Gnome (As opposed to a an evil huge Gnome), named Seanachai, which translated from the old Gaelic means: "Here, buy me a wee dram, you 'orrible little man!" (It gains something in the translation), and he was enamored, ensorcled, bewitched, bothered and bewidebeasted by the insane ranter Mr. Peng, who lived in a Grecian urn on the outskirts of Passaic, New Jersey, or Taos, New Mexico (Which really needs another consonant somewhere in the middle, don't you think?)

Now, in a series of notes, carefully folded into a triangular shape (In case they wanted to play football later) and passed desk by desk in study hall, Seanachai and Mr. Peng began a great debate.

Between them, they rassled with concepts both arcane and obtuse. Seanachai dressed like Bobo Brazil and Mr. Peng in the guise of George "The Animal" Steele.

Sweat and parables flowed off of them both like... things that flow... off of other things (I really need to work on my metaphors), until in a huge upheaval erupting like a gallon of bad guacamole dip eaten by a dyspeptic poodle (Regular. Not the toy variety), the continents were formed.

And that's why we have spatulas.

Any other questions?

When can we expect the prequels?

I use rapidshare, but some people don't like the system where you have to wait before download.

So, you finally come back after 11 months abroad and find that it's raining all day...

I'll upload it to some site without cats if you can give me one. But if you really want to know.

It's a M1 killing two T62's in one shot.

[Why the new engine is a good thing (a.k.a. the sweetest replay ever)]

I was playing a night version of "Allah's Fist" as the Syrians because I read somewhere that the lighting is cool :cool:

I've played this scenario before so I decided to do something different, i.e. by splitting my tank forces in two, when it happened. I'm not going to say more because you have to see it before you believe it Just watch closely...

It's for version 1.08.

[Friendly fire--redux]

How about making small arms area fire lethal to friendly units?

That would be already a big improvement IMHO.

[ERA set off by mg fire? ** contains explicit PBEM action**]

Could it just be that the strykers were using their grenade launchers?

Splendid. Now I hope that soon you will also be able to compose a truly coherent sentence in English.

I drove my first car today and I'm still alive.

WINNING gamey bastard, thank you very much.

[Bug - LOS from adjacent buildings 1.08]

Email sent, and for the record, I would not want to be caught dead in Holland.

[Bug - LOS from adjacent buildings 1.08]

I'm playing this scenario where my guys at the bottom of a two-storey building can fire at the roof of an adjacent two-storey building.

PBEM turn available.

Don't blame your mom for the waste of flesh and bones that you are.

[1.08 Bugs]

Vehicle morale is another thing. I made this fun scenario where two Abrams were subjected to a 4 minute long rocket barrage. It looked bloody spectacular, and apart from the strange fact that the Abrams were unharmed, they didn't seem to notice the barrage at all. Shouldn't the morale at least go to nervous or something?

[A Tale Told By An Idiot: The Peng Challenge Thread Drags on Its Way To Dusty Death]

I'm think you'd need a really big turnip if you want to top Dorosh.

[1.08 Bugs]

No luck with T72's for me, I was playing the scenario "Fist full of Doodads" and just saw the one T72 drive straight through a bunch of buildings. Weird as hell.

[1.08 Bugs]

I saw this one in 1.07, but I think it's still in 1.08.

I was playing a QB, I had a bunch of T72's and the computer Bradley infantry.

Anyway, one of my T72 got hit by an AT-4, and in the status tab showed that the autoloader was destroyed (big red cross); yet the T72 could continue loading new rounds and shoot at the hapless infantry.

[Okay it's time: how do I post screenshots?]

I don't think it makes any difference which website you use to host the pictures. Just make sure you have the url to your picture, e.g. </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"> www.something.com/yourpicture.jpg </pre>

[Okay it's time: how do I post screenshots?]

Upload your picture on to some website. For example imageshack or your own webspace if you have it.

If you use imageshack they will give you a code you can paste in to the white space where you write a post and the image will be visible.

If you use your own webspace, click the full reply form and follow the instructions of pop-ups when you click the IMAGE button.

[Waypoints and targeting]

I can't recreate the "death blossom" for instance - what have I missed?

Have you tried clicking When you highlight a waypoint and target something, the line will start from your unit till the target, but once you click you will see that the starting point will be the end point of the waypoint.
