Bud Backer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) The real challenge is going through an entire day at the office only using lines from various Monty Python skits. And not getting fired. It's the last sentence that's the challenge, the rest is easy, and quite normal Edited February 12, 2016 by Bud_B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 So much better than stroking out in a recliner as an old man.Speak for yourself, bubby. I can think of several reasons why somebody might prefer to die as an old man in a recliner, over having their guts blown out violently and dying in great pain and shock. But if you prefer to go the other way, don't let me stop you.Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell, by the way they look at me, that they'd abhor the endless years of comfort and relaxation hinted at in your post. What a poor fate for a warrior. You have, however, piqued my interest. Once my intern finishes this backrub (I'm dictating this. She can type and give me a backrub at the same time. I think she's an amazing woman.) I'll research what you've brought up.Hey. How'd that "amazing woman" thing get in there. Delete that. Delete that now, I say! Ow. oomph. oooooooommphhhh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Baneman has sent a turn. Sigh. How many 8 wheelers does he have??? And why do the 20mm cannon cut through all my armor with such ease?Pix, anon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich505 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 c3k,....I soiled me armor, you had me so scared...More M8s. Bring them to the fore.

c3k Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm trying to sort through the latest turn and pick some screenies. So much action...so few pixels. Bear with me a bit as I get this sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 10 hours... Maybe he has surrendered to Baneman? Too much pixel mayhem for the computer to handle? This pixel is just resting.....

Bil Hardenberger Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I am very disappointed Ken.. you are badly losing the view & post count battle.. everyone knows that is the only fight worth winning in these games. I have only lost that battle once and it was to you, so I expected better. Perhaps being a little more clever with your tactics instead of with your narrative would help... eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I see Baneman is awake and making multiple PIC posts.... I shall wander over there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Turn 38:00 to 37:00The Walking DeadIn an attempt to raise my men's morale, I explained the basis of existential angst, namely, that they're all going to die anyway. Why not avoid the suffering their pathetic lives will engender, and embrace how I may endanger them? This would allow them to avoid so much sorrow later.It didn't seem to help.Some pix... It appears as if my center is faltering, my right is collapsing, and my left is atrophied. All in all, an ugly picture. I thought my central M8 was safe behind the houses. Baneman continues to have better LOS (and tactics) than I. Of note, both The Dell and the cemetery have hedges. They don't stop bullets very well.Enough of the whinging, more pix are needed! My central push was an all-or-nothing gamble. It's looking more like "nothing". A basic rule is to ALWAYS have a way out. This proves it. Over on my right, I've taken advantage of my men's weakness. Since they're fleeing, I'm ordering a pullback. Not a retreat! A "pullback", or shortening of the lines, as it were. I hope Baneman pushes into the vacuum and finds it abhorrent after I spring an ambush. I hope. He's got armor there. I've got bazookas. Well, bazookas and dead men.On the left, my best hope is that the M16 can wreak a bit of wreckage upon his vehicles. It's nailing the achtrad...so I've ordered it to do more of that next turn.The ring of armor on the ridge is good for Banemen, bad for me.

A Canadian Cat Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Ooo, am I seeing this right: the fog effect on the horizon graphic and the box are looking good. You guys have the newest build. Cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich505 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 c3k, Can you reanimate the "Field of Dead" somehow? I am thinking the living dead might make for a good counterattack right about now. Baneman can't kill them twice, eh? Get the tube guys in action. Pillage the dead...er...I mean, uh, buddy aid them, yes, do that. This is all good. The action is crazy and I am loving it.Heinrich505 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit of recalcitration occurring. Kind of like calcifying, but different. If the language wasn't flexible, I'd have to break it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Something interesting to note in the latest photos. The 'infinite plain' beyond the map is now nicely - and convincingly - shrouded in fog, something it wasn't earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
