I don't understand... what have v42below & NG Cavscout got to do with Canada? Does visual aid mean something different in your treacherous quasi-country?

Now I’m not one to go brown nosing the Justicar & all* but geez that’s gotta require some serious dedication to the cause. I merely tend to notice the link, then quickly remember that the guy is from Millipede, N.W. Oddstralia and hence remember to avoid the link. But Joe, motivated by instincts & desires I cannot begin to fathom actually chooses to explore the aforementioned bog. Like I say I rarely bow to the Justicar but occasionally he does deserve a perverse form of respek. Respek Uncle Joe * well not unless there's something I want anyhow

What a beautiful image... Peng & v42below locked together in prison. Oh what wonderful tomfoolery they'd both have.

Don't worry Boa, I'm sure he'll send you his new photo soon enough

When have you ever been anything else? </font>

Okay you pathetically whinging git you've got your bloody set-up ... you know I've been waiting over a year for the next turn in my game with Moraine Sedai & you don't see me complaining.

Now maybe I’m just being my usual pedantic, mean spirited & niggardly self but haven’t we all congratulated Lars on his upcoming marriage like a dozen times already… how many congratulations does a man need? Oh buggar it, congratulations again… it’s another excuse for a booze up I suppose

I noticed tit

Nordic Zulu's Sir... thousands of 'em I don't know... doesn't have the same ring

So there I was reading up on the subject of toilet paper (and a very interesting subject it was as well) when I remembered I hadn’t checked my emails. Doing so I find a rather pathetic one by Boo who, just cos I’d had the audacity to knock out two of his tanks, had decided to surrender complaining that ‘he’d gotten it all wrong from the start’ (how many years has it taken him to finally figure that one out). And yet the flipping idjit still had tanks left & he still outnumbered me in infantry… rather disappointing sport in my opinion & it’ll deserve an extra special AAR. Now back to the reading… Where was I… ah yes scraping crap off Chinese backsides with Bamboo strips

I’m going to bed… I just read the title of a thread in the tips & tricks section as ‘torturing newbie’s’ and didn’t think of that as unusual

Well the obvious reason is that no-one likes you… but surely you must know that already? Still it doesn’t hurt to have a Justicar or two in your pocket so I’ll do you a favour & challenge you… Joe Shaw, Justicar for life, Chief Septic tank sifter, and bureaucratic, prairie dog sniffing, wife swapper whose pathetic, blubbery pleas were singly unable to guilt-trip anyone else other than me (I mean me for Peng’s sake!) to challenge you... I have a question for you. Do you like your tanks bloody or burnt to a crisp?

Have him send his turns (both before & after the disappearance) and password to a third party… if the story check’s out go back to turn 14 If not do whatever ladder players do when they find out their opponents are cheating scum

We don’t bicker we merely try to meet a common consensus through reasoned & intelligent debate... and by repeatedly pointing out that the French are a stinky, treacherous lot & shouldn’t be trusted to wipe their own assholes never mind ours Surely the unanimous agreement would make it less interesting? He was probably upset by your attempt to become Pope… you know damn well he’s always had his eye on that position

You forgot about Europe

Hey I’ve finished grouping all my platoons & stuff together & I played around with some of my barbed wire… then I saved the set-up for completion later. I told you it takes me awhile to set-up for a defence Not that defence is really on my mind that much at the moment, due to my ‘New Years Diet’ I seem to be thinking primarily of various addictive foods… my latest craving being for jam doughnuts. In the mean time I’m sure you can find something to keep you busy with instead of twiddling your thumbs, occasionally checking your backside is still there & waiting for me to brighten up what you call a life… … … … Don’t they listen to ‘grunge’ where you live? Go listen to some of that

What the hell can the International Agricultural Exchange Association do about an atomic prince? Bombing him could also be... problematic. I say we just starve him

Is it just me who thinks that this new style of posting by Nidan1 is a vast improvement on his old style?

Actually my internet has been working for days I just forgot about you & your stinking set-up... though NG Cavscout will confirm for you that I can take quite some time when setting up a defence, so you're still gonna have to wait.. ... and wait ... and wait

Now I've watched that epidode of firefly and all but I don't rightly remember what being a 'second' entails nor whether I have a say in the matter or not... either way if it requires a working email account we could have a problem & that goes for all you bottletop sucking idjit's waiting for turns off me

Dear Peng, you sometimes forget just how much of a natural bureaucrat Joe Shaw really is, and then he outdoes himself with something like that

Pah! Red Dawn was better

BATTLE OF ALI-UMPAMISCUS (AKA 'THE ABORTION') AAR So I & NG Cavscout managed to get an early ’for the Cesspool only’ version of CM: SF. I’d take the imperialist Yanks, NG would be the freedom loving Syrians. My plan was simple enough, form three columns & surround the objective town of Ali-Umpamiscus. This map may seem familiar to some. (Red arrows are the routes of advance, blue arrows where defensive posts were set up) Team Eagle consisted of two Abram’s (the top secret M4A4 version) & a platoon of mechanised, Stryker borne infantry. Their mission was to travel in an Easterly direction north of the town also claiming two objectives (‘the mission complex’ and ‘the Ranch’) beyond the outskirts of Ali-Umpamiscus. Team Eagle would then drive south towards the 'rear' of Ali-Umpamiscus thereby sealing off any possible Syrian retreat. Meanwhile defensive posts would be set up at suitable locations to defeat any desperate Syrian counter attack with either the ATGM or machine gun. Team Eagle initially advanced with Stryker’s leading the way and an Abram’s in close support however a ZSU quickly knocked out my lead vehicle & the Abram’s was forced to push aside the wreckage & take the lead. Team eagle was now in a 'mild' firefight with several enemy units during which our thermal sensors (not to be confused with Borg spotting) proved extremely useful. But as the lead element of Team Eagle approached the ‘complex’ an air force F-15 came in & fired mavericks at a fully laden Stryker, worse almost immediately afterwards a Syrian IED went off nearby. Team eagle suffered at least 15 casualties in these two incidents, whilst one Stryker was knocked out another was damaged & knocked out shortly afterwards. Still the rest of Team Eagle carried on with their mission. Soon afterwards the first objective was occupied by several infantry teams, however it did take them awhile to deal with the few remaining BRDM. As Team Eagle continued heading East the second objective was also taken though enemy fire caused yet another casualty. Team Eagle now, as planned, turned towards the ‘rear’ of Ali-Umpamiscus. They met several enemy vehicles along the way. All were dispatched either by the Abram’s or the Stryker’s HMG… It was now that a BMP managed to take out yet another Stryker. Towards the end of the battle an enemy counter attack was indeed launched towards the complex, ATGM quickly destroyed the enemy tanks & escort vehicles. Team Falcon consisted of an Abram’s, an infantry platoon in Stryker’s, a Bradley platoon (somewhat easily mistaken for M8 greyhounds) plus the company command vehicle & 150mm FO. Their first goal was merely to occupy the first few buildings of Ali-Umpamiscus. Advancing cautiously, with the Abram & Bradley’s leading the way, Team Falcon soon started to meet enemy vehicles & receive incoming small arms fire. At key points in the firefight extremely heavy enemy IED’s went off whilst ATGM engaged our Bradley’s, T-72’s were also involved in the action and immobilized the Abram’s (a massive IED then went off just behind it leaving the crew with no choice but to bail out of the stricken tank), all our heavier AFV’s were now out of action, one Bradley even appears to have been abandoned for no apparent reason. The remnants of Team Falcon dismounted into the first building they came across. Worried by enemy T-72’s the Stryker’s bunched up behind this same building. Enemy fire from mortars and HMG’s firing from our flanks were of particular concern, casualties were suffered and Stryker’s lost. Team falcons dismounted infantry rallied somewhat & pushed forwards into the town, they eventually occupied the first thee main buildings & even succeeded in attacking enemy tanks with their personal AT weapons. Still casualties were considerable & the situation had the potential to have been even more disastrous than it ended up being. Team Falcons artillery FO apparently caused nearly 30 casualties & knocked out two AFV’s despite this NG Cavscout said that my artillery was unimpressive. The F-15 returned & destroyed one or two BRDM; the second F-15 nevermade an appearance. Team Bongo consisted of a brace of Abram’s, a platoon in Stryker’s & the company’s mortar firers. Their mission was to travel north easterly & help support Team Flacon. If successful they were to try and head for the towns railway station situated to the ‘rear’ of the town. Team Bongo moved off, scaring away a poorly hidden BRDM, & cautiously cleared out a nearby enemy hamlet… which turned out to be unoccupied. As most of Team Bongo drove through this hamlet it became cut off from the rest of the US force by a nearby ridge (this ridge was later occupied by US MG teams). Therefore at the time of Team Falcons greatest need it did not receive as much flanking support as it would’ve liked. Once out of the shadow of the ridge the Team advanced, with one Abram’s in the lead, towards the Southern section of town. Moving across scrubland (to avoid IED primarily) the Abram’s & a pair of Stryker’s occupied the main north-South street and then fired along it at anything that moved. Other Stryker’s dismounted infantry into the nearby buildings, including the town hall, and cleared these out. Some of these infantry became pinned inside by mortar fire, casualties were suffered but eventually the town’s Hotel, commanding the main crossroads, was occupied and the Syrians killed or captured. Now T-72’s started to engage our infantry, the Abram’s & Stryker’s assisted ably in the resulting action. Short ranges, alleys, confusion & considerable quantities of smoke reigned but the enemy were destroyed… at cost. Meanwhile the second Abram’s & a Stryker (carrying a squad taken from the Town hall firefight) carried on Eastwards to try & reach the Railway station. Along the way many vehicles were surprised by the Abram’s and these were dispatched without trouble at one point however a T-72 engaged the Abram’s at nigh on point blank (and scored several hits, it would’ve have done better if it had managed to hit the side turret). This force did eventually reach the railway station leaving a trail of burning wreckage in its wake. One other action of Team Bongo was to send out a small force to occupy ‘the Hacienda’ commanding the Southern flank, these men engaged an enemy MG team & secured the objective, one casualty was suffered. With the Syrians surrounded on all sides & with the majority of their forces annihilated NG Cavscout honourably surrendered. Sir 37mm was ‘fragged’ by the survivors of his force the very next day. The main crossroad (after the battle) Serious note (I really did not like suffering US casualties playing this thing)

Red Dawn... now was that really the greatest movie I’ve ever seen or was I just drunk?

During the whole, the whole mind you not a portion of, the whole month of December he posted six times. Six… when I was a serf Boo once spent 30 days in the pool without sleep or food, posting non-stop all the way, just in case I needed help as I dribbled over dalem's shoes again (my, that was one hell of a BOOTing I got that night!). Sure, October was a 'good' month for v42below but 90% of his posts were replies to me (he loves me you see) & nothing whatsoever to do with juan gitange. What’s poor, mooseless Juan gonna do with that kind of help… dear Peng we’ll only end up with another Nidan1! You know it, I know it, and I tell you what... Jaunn giantge knows it… now let’s do something about it! Give him to me.
