You could always send it to the hotmail address. It goes to a 39 year old pipeline worker in Alabama named Silky Johnson, but it gets to where it needs to go.

Feel like sending me something that doesn't contain a virus?Originally posted by NG cavscout:Things people say when not sending turns.

HAHAHAHAHA... HA... Heh, heh, heh, heh...snicker... Hee hee hee... snort... Oh, deary-dear-dear. I just did the same thing to Bloat. Fired off about a hunnert & farty 114mm rickets at him right from the get-go.Originally posted by Boo Radley:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by MrPeng:
... when I hurled over 500 points worth of rockets to start things off and he broke FOW and radio silence to let me know I had successfully inflicted 5 casualties. Yeah. Great. Love & Rockets.
Looking at the spread and size of the hits, I figger he used the subsequent flames to melt his S'mores, the knock-kneed gerbil jammer!
Oh, and Peng? 'Splain me something, Lucy... How would having MORE turns keep you from firing all your big, scary ammo at me before you had LOS to all my positions which were in LOS right from turn one?
Would having more turns somehow make you smarter? </font>

Operation Husky was the invasion of Sicily. It hardly seems adequate to describe an invasion of Italy with the intent of capturing Rome quickly. Something more along those lines would be Shingle or Avalanche. Even Baytown would be more accurate in that it landed on the Italian mainland.

At least I can get my zipper, velcro-pants boy.Originally posted by NG cavscout:well, I guess I shouldn't expect you to know how to unzip anything but your own pants, so, let me send it uncompressed.

I got your last one, but the zipped file was corrupted or, and is likely the case when dealing with you, invalid.

High school must have been terrible for you. Then again, with memories like that, you'd have to go to another continent to escape them.Originally posted by NG cavscout:Stoat, clear out your inbox so my turns don't come wisping back to me through the ether of the Internet like some flouncy goth wanna-be 16 year old spotty faced dweeb going to prom wearing a lavender smoking jacket with ruffles and lace coming out everywhere to compensate for the fact that he has no date...
There are 4 messages in my inbox. Didn't I tell you there was a 38% chance I wouldn't get your mail if you sent it to that address?

In reality they perform specialized functions such as construction or destruction of obstacles, bridges, the like. In the game they serve only as a form of infantry. A platoon of engineers is much like a rifle platoon, but the engineers have flamethrowers in lieu of mortars and antitank weapons. Also, engineers carry demo charges. These charges are very effective against vehicles, buildings, or any other target except planes. The one specialized task engineers CAN do in the game is clear mines. Move an engineer squad within 10-20m of a minefield, making sure there are no friendly units around, and the engineers will in the span of a turn or two destroy the mines using their demo charges.

If the enemy unit was within your mortar's minimum range(which I believe is 100m), they would not have been able to fire the mortar at the enemy. So, they use their small arms. At least, that's my understanding. </font>Originally posted by Shmavis:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by SteveP:
A particularly "interesting" example of this that I detected after discovering that crewed weapons did this:
A light mortar (German 50mm, I think) was in cover about 100m or so from a previously undetected enemy unit. The enemy uncovered near the end of the turn and began firing (not at the mortar). The mortar crew's first reaction was to fire their pistols at the enemy unit rather than immediately start firing mortars! One can only speculate on the reasons for this. It's worth noting that since I've observed this, I have never seen a unit become spotted as a result of doing this. Perhaps that explains the mortar crew's behavior??

You also need an Op that last longer than a day. </font>Originally posted by Kingfish:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by stoat:

You can play a tcp/ip game if someone else hosts. Other than that....

Useful to know, sure. But if your guns or mortars are using this, chances are they don't have much time left.
-
It happens with almost all units when there is enemy infantry within short range. Even sharpshooters can put out a bit of close range fire. Ditto mortars and guns.

It was England and Paraguay, and it was on at 8 AM, so I watched it.Originally posted by Nidan1:and the who the hell wants to watch a game between Germany and Paraguay at seven AM on a Saturday?

I remind you in my own way. I imagine you find it preferable to spam, spam, spam, and spam?Originally posted by NG cavscout:Stoat, maybe you could return the fecking turn, then you might have something to say, unless of course, I owe you a turn, in which case what kind of rat bastage are you for not reminding me? Tell you what, I forgive you. There, see how nice I really am?

Doesn't want to be recruited, and yet *cough* "challenges" *cough* someone as though he does. I smell a stinky, stinky fish. One that should be chopped up for chum and then given to rleete.

I see you're srounging up more PBEM games. Have ye wavered in the face of some Poles before ever having made sight of them?Originally posted by NG cavscout:Oh,and thank you Mr. Peng again for fixing my computer..

It's a pdf file that was installed along with the game.

It was War Plan Orange. The Department of the Navy created a series of plans with different colors based on the countries involved and the region of the world. War Plan Orange focused on a battleship war in the 1920s centered around the Philippine Islands.
