37mm

great site... I'm currently half way through Khamsin in a PBEM game... its a bloody nightmare but great fun...

Boxing day in Russia is a small(ish) battle that has some big guns & explosions, certainly for a scenario of that size... its best as PBEM but tough for the Germans

In my last post of the 'true' thread (before it was cruelly snatched away) I quite clearly stated that I was now busy measuring the thickness of mice ears... keep up people

Will SOMEONE please inform this</font>

Originally posted by the worlds greatest Texan: Boo tell me it isn't true... tell me that Morse is not a lawyer... tell me PS The Justicar’s authority is all but spent! You know if someone told him a nuclear war was about to start, whilst everyone else had sex, rioted, ran around screaming, got drunk, got wasted & perhaps managed to find some time to spend with the family, Joe shmoe here would be scanning the empty* Peng challenge thread for infractions of the ‘rules’… You see a vile, awful, nauseating upchuck of contempt from Peng himself which truly brings tears to the eyes of any true Penger and what does the old fool see? A lack of paragraphs! I’m half surprised the idiot didn’t call for Peng himself to be sent to Coventry… As Apocalypso beckons we have this fool trying to keep order & yet I repeat where is he when the Peng challenge turns into ebay? He is hiding from my liege Boo until finally the catcalls hath shamed him enough into accepting the blood hamster. And the senility has gotten so bad that the position of Justicar itself is being demeaned. The whole ordered system of SSN’s, serfs, squires, Knights & Olde ones is being shaken because the guy at the top has as much justice and respect and love of Peng as… as ‘Tim the usurper’! I say he needs to admit to the thread that he has erred, that he has allowed his love of bureaucracy to undermine his love of Peng… Either that or he must be impeached. Turn from the light Shaw, accept Peng into your life, throw away the rule book & insult Dorosh! * Actually it probably wouldn't be totally empty the Australians would still be present. The threat of the Earth becoming totally desolated, huge wasteland would probably not cause much consternation amongst them.

Did I not say earlier in this 'Peng forsaken illegitimate thread' that dark tidings are upon us all… Did any of you bloody well listen? No! My quest is complete I lost my frigging charger (ran over by a T-34), my armour was, to be frank, useless though I think it protected me from at least some of those shell splinters and the less I say about my bitten sword the better. Peng himself hath blessed me as Messiah! And dear Peng don’t we all need it! Some amongst us (I won’t say who) consider following every bleeding little rule exactly as proposed in section 13-5a is some Pengless rule book as more important than hatred, vitriol & contempt. Put it this way in this fricking 'awful thread that should not be' how many challenges have there been? Two! By whom? Me & Boo :mad: ! Even this wretched Boo who hath but a fraction of the wit of thy former Boo still possesses more Pengnossity than all of you combined. Meanwhile the ‘ Justicar’ cares not for blood hamsters but instead allows this place to become the new ebay, model shop and thread for ‘discussing every game under the sun except Combat Mission’! People here are discussing openly feelings of non-hatred, indeed some people are even proclaiming others as ‘cool*’! If things continue along this path well I think we (as in you lot) deserve apocalypso! * This may be a misplaced criticism surely people must mean dalem should be cool... as in minus 180 degrees centigrade cool?

Dark times are upon us & bad omens are a plenty. Croda has returned, my liege has been afflicted with witchery which hath enfeebled him, the Justicars are at war, honest Peng threads with fine rules are abandoned, Australians multiply, foul messages are sent, two headed beasts are born, the sun is swallowed and now I face a quest! Am I ready? I don’t know but if my fate is indeed to be the messiah then sooner or later I must act like one and face the darkness head on… I’ve put on my rusty & ill fitting armour, acquired a bitten sword and have taken a flea bitten nag as my charger. I journey now & much lies upon my shoulders yet as long as there is a bitter HE wielding bone in my body I vow to not dishonour my house… For Morse I ride!!!!

I've been having trouble getting to the depot all day so you're not the only one...

"I only ever play as Germans" I've heard that... I've heard "I only ever play in Italy"... I've heard "I only ever play at midday or in moderate hills or with moderate trees"... but I've never heard "I only ever play that scenario with the Germans invincible Tigers pitted against 2 pounder armed brits" Fine have it your way... its on the CD, right? If I remember?

Look hear colonial you're clearly the one who doesn't know his place so get back to your ethanol induced coma & dream of our Queen, your Monarch or I’ll be forced to send you a set up after I've finished wiping the floor with Nidan1...

Reinstate the thread! Reinstate the thread! Freedom for the ‘House of Morse'! Down with the oppressors!!!

A travesty for sure, was it not so long ago when you yourself were asking for me to complete a quest (at least that’s what I think you were saying)... as such I polished by boots, combed my hair, put on my best rags, I even wore a tie (though Boo had to do the knot for me) and went out into the world saying to myself "I'm gonna make them proud"... I blew up some armoured cars, knocked out some AT guns, charged headlong into a trench, hurled more HE than a god has right to and yet still I felt I hadn’t done enough. Then I saw that the cesspool needed restarting and I knew what I had to do… did I fail to follow the rules to the exact letter of the law? Perhaps I did but I truly and righteously believed that only the anally retentive Justicar would care… In the end my thread was crushed by the very one who had founded my personal quest… A travesty for sure [ November 19, 2004, 06:35 AM: Message edited by: 37mm ]

You know I always thought 'Dim' was stickypixie in disguise but I don't think even he is this annoying...

Takes off his funny little hat, packs away his marshmallows, puts back on his lab coat & starts measuring the thickness of mice ears (sigh)…

Its French money, you see Belgians have no problem with being a colony of 'Greater France'

Ahh but Lars tis only to ask if we should impeach worthy of a BOOT for remember I never (never would dream of) actually proposed that we should do...

I say its time to leave this place... http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=003125

People, hear yee, hear yee I am a faithful & honourable squire of my liege Boo Radley of the House of Morse. I know that many new faces browse through our cursed home, the cesspool They may be frightened nay horrified by the likes of dalem and shocked that we accept ‘lawyers’ like MrSpkr into our bosom… I say unto you… let fear not quench your curiousness Dive in for it is warmer hear than one would expect However before tresspassing be warned for there are rules to any place and this place is no exception… First and foremost I would like to say… Sod off Secondly and with much regret I beseech thee to… Sod off Thricely and with great relish I ask… why have thee not sodden off? Fourthly this is a place for challenges but not any challenge will do. Nay, we could all challenge each other to see who can, say, hit Lars the hardest or who can put up with stickypiss for the longest but these challenges will not do. Here the challenge must be in the form of a Combat Mission Fifthly the challenges must be made with wit, style, panache and at least a shred of dignity. It is strongly advised that ye act as if thy precious jewels are most humongous but ye must not necessarily say this directly. Sixthly though this is a place for challenges those challenges must preferably be amongst equals, as such a newbie or SSN must challenge someone suitably awful and do so with his or her address on display. A squire (unless he is of a particularly high potential like myself) must not challenge a Knight. All Knights must be respected, even more so if it is an olde one or the Justicar Seventhly it is not only a rule but considered very wise to show respect to the ladies of the pool for they are fickle and cruel beyond reason. However many mistakes have occurred especially with so many effete people around here so a handy bit of advice is 'if thee hear one who seems most powerful but confident enough to not brag about it then ye have probably met a lady' Eighthly and most importantly of all, ye must keep your petty bigotries outside these walls if ye have a problem with someone’s race*, creed, class or religion then you face a far worse fate than Coventry (which is our own place of punishment). Finally I ask ye all to provide entertainment to us all and to the olde ones & knights in particular… they are mostly ancient and very little brings them pleasure. As such try your best and soon you'll learn all the other countless minor rules, regulations & rituals (for full details call at joe.shaw@comcast.net) & ask thyself … “what is the worst that can happen?” PS The answer is of course “I could be asked to Sod off” PPS Alternatively you could be forced to communicate with Nidan1 but then again such communications usually end in his surrender so… * The exception is a race of people known as the Australians these can be mocked at will; it isn’t bigotry if it’s so obviously true… [ November 18, 2004, 08:01 AM: Message edited by: 37mm ]

I’m glad too. You see I treated the patch a little like how I treat my men (calm down Emrys). With boyish enthusiasm, strapping things (calm down Emrys), clean uniforms and brand new weapons they listen to my advice, my orders, and my morale boosting speeches. Then off they go into the heart of the enemies defences, lives are ruined, guts are spilt, smiles wiped off faces (or more accurately smiley faces wiped off necks) whilst I’m kept safely away & allowed to use my expertise to ‘ guide’ the resulting clash. The enemy are probably vanquished but it’s not overly important. No the point is that those that live are stronger, wiser, better… they also know now not what to do & who not to listen too. Likewise with this patch I needed bright, enthusiastic boys ready to grasp (calm down Emrys) any opportunity; Men who needed to show the world they could be their first. They could be better, that they could count. You Nidan and others like you have done this task & just like with those brave lions I extend to you a sympathetic ear, a towel, a nip of rum, a manly slap on the back (calm down Emrys) and kind words like... “there now see, wasn’t so bad was it? Better luck next time ‘ey?" I suppose it also helped that I forgot to bring my USB pen… [ November 18, 2004, 07:27 AM: Message edited by: 37mm ]

that drunk... of course

I blame 37mm. He's the "scientist". He's the one who *would* go dredging just to see what kind of critters might be lurking down there. </font>

Anyone seen the big man yet? What about his opponent?

Just to confirm... are people absolutely sure that (apart from the Lynx, Jadpanther & Hetzer) all CMBB & CMAK German winter mods are interchangeable? Does this include half tracks, kublewagons?

That’s not exactly what I meant but what the heck* its close enough for you… * If I have learnt anything from my (sigh) mentor 'Boo of Morse' it is to once again let you be...

Absolutely excellent work Aristoteles not only does the work make the Italians look great it was a really easy mod pack to use; no folders within a folder located in hidden folders plus with a couple of folders full of options. thanks...
