Simon Fox Posted September 8, 1999 Share Posted September 8, 1999 Here are my flippant remarks on the prisoner issue. Well it would be pretty easy to handle in a Pacific theatre game after early 1942 nether side were interested in prisoners or becoming one. I am not so sure about the Marines but I know that by the end of 1942 the only difference between the Japs and the Aussies was that the Japs bayoneted the enemy wounded while the Aussies shot them (much more humane don't you think?). I know that there won't be a "CM in the jungle", though it should be more simple to write: don't need multiplayer or PBEM, solitaire play only, AI only needs to reflect Japanese doctrine and behaviour Mike D (D=diatribe perhaps?), Shame on you Mike, you should have remembered that Fionn was a recent perpetrator of diatribes in other threads about forums. He is still very sensitive, poor chap and must have forgotten the general tone around here. I recommend that in future if you even remotely think your diatribe might offend him you liberally sprinkle it with these. Fionn, Your principle mistake was in stating in your AAR that by assembling the prisoners at the same point as your reorganisation of your units they might be protected from Martin's arty. All I can say to that is "fat chance" FFE! and next time keep it to yourself and no one will be the wiser In general (ie not specific to the current game) for all the whingeing about prisoners impacting on the availability of frontline troops I am sure that those troops would rather be escorting those prisoners to the rear than being shot at by them Disclaimer: this post was composed with tongue firmly planted in cheek (lucky I didn't have to speak throughout) it has been carefully edited to ensure that only the most wimpy/boneless individual could take offense or most illiterate individual could misconstrue its intent. So if you fall into either of these groups B## #$! now that was offensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted September 8, 1999 Author Share Posted September 8, 1999 LOS, Thanks for the "real life" answer to the prisoner question. It's always good to have a few of you "professional" type soldiers around. Simon, Confound it, you figured it out didn't you. Damn, now my secret is out! Actually though, it's Michael von Diatribe if you don't mind. As far as picking on Fionn is concerned someone had to do it. I think he's grown a pretty thick hide over the years from the sound of things, so he can probably handle a little jab now and then, eh?

Fionn Posted September 8, 1999 Share Posted September 8, 1999 LOL Simon. I like your style. VERY funny post.. .. Now, since it was a funny post I'm going to resist the temptation to go on about "other" forums ... *straining at leash* Mike, I'm a gentle soul at heart, unused to the slings and arrows of the world Havest thou no pity on one as fair and gentle as myself? I can take it normally there was just a lot of off0board traffic related to prisoners so I wanted to set it straight. By turn 21 they are well on their way back to the rear you'll all be happy to know. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted September 8, 1999 Author Share Posted September 8, 1999 Fionn, OK, we/I will take it easy on you from now on. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixman Posted September 9, 1999 Share Posted September 9, 1999 Fionn, we won't be "happy to know" until we actually SEE turn 21. Right now we are still bogged down at 18 and I am starting to experience the DTs again. Hell, let me be one of your prisoners. At least that way I might see some action! ------------------ The enchanter may confuse the outcome, but the effort remains sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted September 9, 1999 Share Posted September 9, 1999 LOL. Turn 19 just went up Pixman and to soothe all you prisoner fetishists I've put in a few screenshots of prisoners marching to the rear in (I think) Turn 20 AAR which Pat has and should be going up today also.. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulR Posted September 9, 1999 Share Posted September 9, 1999 Maybe points could be deducted from a score if friendly fire kills either one's own prisoners or ones own active troops. I would think regularly doing so would be bad for army-wide morale. This might cut down on folks scoring by killing their own prisoners as a point scheme.
