Kobal2

@dalem : *sigh*...I did read the rules. Sooo... Where do I brag ? Was it the part about me flexing my muscles and boldly suggesting I lose all the time ? Also, like I said, while I've read this forum silently for some time, I haven't identified most of you, so what was I to do ? Challenge anybody, hoping to find the kind of player that will help me progress on a trial-and-error basis ? Seemed more sensible to just introduce myself and let a kind old grog answer me. Seems kindness is not at the ordre du jour. As for the bitches part, it was of course irony, *and* a quote from the series "Black Books", from an episode I find most amusing. Long story short, Bernard Black desperately wants his arms and/or legs broken for some reason, but can't find the courage to do it himself, so he goes up to a group of skinheads and utter/mumbles theses words to them. Not that I consider any of you as skinheads, it's just the "stirring up a fight against people that *will* kill you, because you want to be killed" part I found to be opportunate, hence the quote.

Doing as I'm told - as a stupid but disciplined grunt. Copy/paste : G'day to you all ! First things first, let's have a wee bit of introduction : I'm Kobal2, I'm French (so hide the frogs and turtles you may have, cause I'll EAT THEM), and even though I may be only 22 and have kind of a hot blood at times, I will do my best not to flame anyone just for the kicks. For at least 36 seconds. I must also own up to the fact that I'm quite the "silly bugger", and enjoy nothing more than stirring up an argument about something dear to you, then watch you scream and squeal in anger while laughing in an armchair, with a healthy supply of popcorn and saucisson of course. Now, to the point : I've been playing all three CM games (though I've only got CMAK installed and modded right now - bloody full blown system crash a few days ago) for some time now (4, 6 months, maybe ?) against the AI, and have gotten somewhat good at it - let's say no more than 4 major defeats out of 5. With overwelming odds in my favor of course. Witnessing such an outstanding (and boring, of course - as constant victory is) success against the AI, I feel it is time for me to beat the hell out of you old and decrepit fools, from whom I've been reading so much in the past months. So, without further ado, I'd like to get one of you into a PBEM game with me. Now, although I've been lurking this forum for quite some time now, I must admit I haven't identified most of you, but I'd like to meet with experienced fellows first - if they'll give me pointers and constructive criticism afterwards of course. Nothing like getting your arse properly kicked about to learn the fast way. I prefer scenarios to quick battles, since the latter have a propension to become very one-sided from what I've seen, while scenarios are engineered to somewhat even the forces (I know, I know, it's not historically correct, since a commander worth his salt will always try to attack where he'll be 5 to 1, but it's a game after all). On a side note, I like to play the germans or French Foreign Legion (toughest outfit in the world ! And dumbest too !) mostly, and since the AI is awfull at attacking, I've always played the attacker, so I'd like to start with that role. Also, I don't like the "whole Tigers and King Tigers" thing, so you can expect reasonnable forces from me - one Panther/Tiger at most, but mostly regular Panzers/Marders/JadgP etc... Oh, and for the time being I'd rather have small ops - size of the map doesn't matter, but too many forces to manage and I'm overwhelmed. Think 500 - 1500 point battles first. Now, which...one of you...bitches...wants to dance ?

Being used to forums, I was under the impression that multiple-paged threads were never being read much, if at all - I know *my* policy is to never open a topic more than 4 pages long, since by that time it's been hijacked/flamed 99 times out of 100... But maybe here it's not the case ? So what should I do, copy/paste into the Peng forum ?
