Again IIRC they are fully assimilated to HQ and call for indirect fire. But they're not supposed to be frontline troops… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we happen to fight a PBEM together, we already know the final round: XO vs. XO fighting for the last VP… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mixed results against Phil, but always in battles he has produced so for the losses I console myself that he always has prior knowledge. It's a good excuse I think. And it's definitely nothing to do with @kohlenklau having at least a decade head start on me for CM (probably more). Anyway hi Phil when your read this my friend . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
