...and that they can run up the trouser leg of hell and nest in Satan's private parts.
That, is poetry. Brings a tear to the eye. Though it might just be the local fumes.

Ah. Glad to see you still alive and wellKurtzachai. After all we do have you to thank and curse for the MBT, and many glorious CM battles. For those still here, and for those long departed who remain only in memory (digital or the more fleshy sort). Much like the after effects of a long night of beer and nachos, your lingering presence is vaguely disgusting, and yet somehow comforting in its ...em ... regularity.
So a heart-felt thanks to you, the Bard Eternal of the Cesspool.
Though you know I am still sworn to kill you eventually.

Which is what? Comparable to being the stupidest person in Stupidtown?
You go, girl!

Basically Jo Xia's little lap dog. Does he keep you in his purse?

My Gawd but you're a dense one ... look, he can't just take you to Squire until you've been a Serf to the CessPool as a Hole and then elevated to Squiredom with, of course, himself getting the right of jus primae noctis ... did we forget to mention that?
Joe
I just threw-up a little in my mouth.

Let me see if I have this straight ... I'm supposed to place my trust in ... {chortle} ... rune?
Oh that's rich, I have to give it to you lad, you've got a sense of humor.
Joe
Joe, since he is apparently a stray that Rune picked up in his dotage, I feel somewhat responsible.
Since I was Elevated to Kaniggethood even when Rune's status as Kanigget was in serious dispute, for all practical purposes, I am the First Kanigget of the House of Ruin.
Icky as it may be, I believe that I have some obligation to the House of Ruin, if not to his Weaselness himself and will thus abuse Buzzy in a PBEM to test his [lack of] tactical acumen. If he is up to snuff (doubtful), squirehood is in order.
So Buzzy, if you can rub a few sodden brain cells together, and figure out how, send a set-up. Somefink interesting, but not too large. I'll not go straining myself on some epic battalion slugfest for a (probable) piss-bucket serf.

Alright, in order to give my opponent a fair chance, I haven't read the manual, and have only played half a game. I see a few SSNs posting here. Since I am of such low standing, I'd be happy to give one of the a smack down in the name of House Rune. Here newbie, here newbie....
Did Rune really claim you at some point? As if NoGo cavscout wasn't bad enough. I was wondering why there was a lingering odor of rotton herring in the great hall. From your boots no doubt.
I should beat you with your own arm for even existing and polluting my house.

Fundamentally, Charles can spend several weeks coding up a "to & penetration chance routine", and then the Betas can spend a week or two testing and debugging this. Or, they can put the same energy into putting another feature into the game, like flame weapons and fire modeling, or gun & mortar pits, or star shells, etc. Personally, I'd prefer one of the latter.
And some people would prefer the former, obviously, hence this thread. I certainly would like a little more detail on a number of items that were in CM1. Not essential, but I would like them more than a few flashy, but hardly essential units.
-
The use of the "Olde" as in Olde Ones is a long honored tradition here in the CessPool and one that you would likely remember had you bothered to drop by even once in a blue moon.
Joe
Yah, yah, "you never write. You never call. Don't you love me any more?"
I was saving all my electrons for CMBN.
-
And you're not an Olde One.
Joe
And if there is one thing Joe knows about, that is olde. He even spells it like back in his school days.
-
We all float down here. Don't they teach you youngsters anything these days? Jo Xia, fix or do somefink.
-
I've taken a look. It is not very useful for CMBN. Too much SF specific info. Very hard to find the BN useful wheat amongst the chaff.
-
Good googlie mooglie. I just noticed that No-Go 19D is a Kanigget. House Ruin no less. How that once mighty House has fallen. Knights not studying history of the MBT and all.
-
Hmmmm did Marlow forget his old log in?
Marlow DID forget his old log in. I must be getting old.
-
Why would I want to play a game against a nuclear attack sub? I didn't think the Navy was involved in this game other than for fire support. You must be confused. Not uncommon for (I presume) a 19D. Probably get lost a lot as well.
-
Hello gentlemen,
So, I have recently purchased CMBN, and would like to try PBEM. This looked like a nice friendly place to find an opponent. Smells a bit though.
Cheers.

Get one that gives cash back (you can get 1% pretty easy these days), and as said, always pay full balance every month.
If you use them wisely, credit cards are great.
Not as much fun as previous games.

I find the game to be a blast, but that said, this seems like the place to state what we would like to see. Targeting lines are not one of them.
I add my voice to the long list of those requesting an armored covered arc. A few other things I would like to see are:
- a return of the command delay
- some sort of indicator of what type of terrain is what
- do different buildings have different defensive value? If so, some sort of indicator of which is which.
- small gaps in hedgerows are too hard to see.
- a way to see what path a unit will actually take once the path is selected by the player would be useful.
