What happens when you fire a shell with a blast radius of 77m at a target 21m away?..

.

AH, so THAT is what that number stands for...I always wondered about that :D

OMG...Walker, you are now my sworn enemy...well while I'm doing my turns you are tongue.gif:D:D

Sorry to the rest of you guys...we are ALMOST finished Bricks and Mortar Forest. Only 2 turns to go so we should have it to Slysniper by the weekend smile.gif

Maybe just post your text there and then link photos to that free site that so many use here.

Major Tum, thanks for the vote of confidence :D but I have to admit that in most of our games Walker seems to get the better of me :mad: :confused: thought occassionally I do take him by surprise...I think I can count the number of his tanks I've killed over the past 4 years on one hand...oh, except for one game and Walker has a T-Shirt with a picture of ALL those DESTROYED Panthers plastered on the front of it to remind him of that game (a little Xmas present) ;)

But generally, he's the smarter player. I think it's because he's older, wiser and much more cunning, whereas I'm younger (well a little bit...only a couple of grey hairs at this stage), eager, and prone to sometimes making rash (stupid) decisions :D :cool:

One quick question...are the Allies supposed to receive a briefing in the "One Last Hurrah" map? Mine just goes straight into the setup

It's not a problem if we don't, I just want to make sure

You have been sent a corrected file, warning to everyone, Iwent too far before saving his file, so it was past the setup phase. Hopefully it is the only one but everyone should see their briefings and have a set up phase, even if some of you might not have much to do in that Phase (evil laugh) :D

Also, I am looking for sugestions on how to modify scenario B, the germans need a better chance to putting up a good fight, it played too one sided, it needs modified before I put it at the scenario depot. Just Email or comment here if you have thoughts about how I should do it.

I'm not sure if the timing of the Allies' reinforcements was random or hard-coded... but that infantry platoon had no time to get close enough to being a threat to any of the objectives (could've just been my poor playing of course...)

My fault, this was a reserve unit, it is to be located in town, still it might not be needed with how the scenario is playing. But I forgot about it and did not get the marker in town. This battle needs some tweaking for sure.

10 points Bert

7 points Dinga 44

6 points Walker

4 points Fiaros

4 point Mikado

3 points Jonny English

3 points Shell Shocked

2 point Crow Warrior

1 point Major Tum

scoreless Gort

The scoring looks fair at the Top, Bert has had two Best score results and a 2nd

Where as Dinga has had two 2nds and a First

Walker has 2 best scores also, but losing to Bert

has held him in check and also third place. Those with 3 or 4 points still sit in a nice position to make a second round charge.

Fiaros, why do you prefer the Confederate Soldiers over the Union (Federal) Soldiers? Just curious.
As I have read about the battles, I just thought they were more couraged & "stuborn"(even though that's not always a good thing about a soldier), fighting for their own land.

Can you disagree that it needs more morale to face an enemy that has a continuing flow of new troops and (if I am not wrong) little better equipment, while you have limited troops and resources, in comparison with the industrial North?

Since the Union soldiers won the war I am sure they had the best political system and some people who they could "see far". It has been told that if the Southerns have won the war, the face of America would be very different, better.

I am just of the opinion that everything that happens is according to the plan of "Divine Economy" and has the ""agreement"" of God. But that doesn't mean that it is always virtued and noble in the eyes of God. Sophocles "Antigone" says the Law of men is different from the Law of (G)gods and Antigone choose to brake the Human Law represented by Kreon and follow the Law of (G)gods by burying her dead brother. So even if in the ears of today's people it is fair and justice for the poor North to fight and win the noble and wealthy/rich South, who had anachronistic ideas like surpressing the "blacks", from a different "anagnosis" it was the people that don't have, to steal from the people that have, but that's war isn't it?

In the Christian thought, by gathering wealth you deprive many others from even having the essentials to leave, which is a sin. However killing and stealing to take something that it "supposed to be" yours, is also a sin, something that more and more people seems to forget nowadays.

If you go with the "Law of God", you will realise that there is a large bulk of sins that people do constantly everyday, which makes gathering wealth a small fault. And the "Law of men" can be changed everytime... Don't forget there were (and are) entire political systems that are funded in ylistic (and atheistic) ideas.

Forget my passion about the Word of God. I am just a theologist.
