Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hmmmmm, in a quick battle generated by the computer for a PBEM game i had the good fortune to receive 4 Elite Jeeps.......now can anyone tell me the advantage of having Elite Jeeps compared to Regular Jeeps??? It was a 1,500pt meeting engagement....i had no armour, no anti-tank teams, no arty.....but hey i did have those killer Jeeps!! ------------------ "Death solves all problems - no man no problem" J.V.Stalin, 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 You forget to mention you have troop type of "combined arms". If you are in HKG, I would suggest you buy Mark Six (Hong Kong version of Lottery) Griffin. ------------------ "+" is just the beginning.

Hamstersss Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 I hear the elite ones have Jaguar suspensions. ------------------ Did someone compare this to the Ealing comedies? I've shot people for less. -David Edelstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hello Griffin, Griffin was the opponent in this match, and he is lucky i did not unleash the power of those killer Jeeps to destroy his puny Axis Crack Armour. I flew the white flag at the start and then we regenerated the game........Griffin where is your next move....Aha, i suspect you are afraid of meeting my mighty Jeeps. The Elite jeep can carry a whole squad of men as well as 2 AT teams, 1 vickers and a sherman Jumbo on the boot.

Slapdragon Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Careful of Griffin. I suspect his dastardly playing is what shocked me into a seizure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Slappy, if you saw 4 killer Jeeps coming at you over the hill it would be enough to give any commander a siezure! Griffin, I would be very happy if you buy the Mark 6 lottery ticket for me - if I win we split the proceeds as follows: The money can be split according to the end game percentage statistics in our quick battle....which i forecast to be 90% to 10% in favour of my killer jeeps! BTW Slappy, Griffin is indeed a Deadly opponent...his ambushes in VoT were legendary for imagination....10 out of 10.

Personally I don't gamble with money, it is kinda personal philosphy, not anything related to religion. Anyway, what I saw Slappy did was racing a jeep with FO and droping motar fire up on a bare hill top. May be that jeep ride caused him his siezure. Beware of jeeps, be very aware!

GriffinCheng+ Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hey CDIC, I am at WORK-PLACE, what can you expect from me? Please be patient, the tungestent round will strike you soon. BTW, I think I can maintain 1 turn per day of CM PBEM during weekdays and well, Sats and Suns are BG2 days.... I think I am still playing BG2 and/or SFC2 when Slappy comes back to the games.

Someone has a serious question and nobody answers it. Those Elite Jeeps will have a much shorter command delay than Regular Jeeps, responding in like what, 3 seconds? Just think how quickly you'dve been able to react with them. I think you made a grave error in resigning so quickly. ------------------ “Thus, the M4A3E8(76)W designation meant a tank with an official Mortality of 4 minutes, Actually 3 minutes, cost Extra, and had a 76% chance of going WHOOSH." - Bullethead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it correct to assume the rest of your force was also Elite? Then it's no option to have the HQs ride in Regular Jeeps is it?

Kingfish Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 IIRC, there is a scenario that gives the Germans a crack truck driver. I wonder how many pedestrians he had to run over to achieve that status. ------------------ ...This is Romeo-Foxtrot, shall we dance?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cueball Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 There actually is a game related advantage. The movement delay is smaller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RudeLover Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 When (not if, but when) they abandon the jeep, you then have an Elite crew with pistols to shore up your lines...they can pop enemy tank commanders at long range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captitalistdoginchina Posted October 19, 2000 Share Posted October 19, 2000 He he, it all sounds funny to me, you guys are witty alright. I have not looked at the price difference between a Uber Jeep and a regular jeep, but i doubt if i would purchase an Uber jeep when the price difference could be the same as upgrading a regular sniper for a veteran sniper. Did anyone notice what the price difference is? The same goes for Elite truck drivers and kublewagons i guess.
