Bratch Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Another Arizonan here, if you all in Phoenix consider Yuma to be in Arizona that is. Nothing here yet............But hey, the Pony Express may ride into town next week.

Guest MantaRay Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Supertanker, Cool, weird how so many of us have similar lives. I think the LA area folks should get together and have some sort of CM party or club. Be very interesting.

GreasyPig Posted June 21, 2000 Author Share Posted June 21, 2000 asl and the Chandler folks, I don't have it yet but the mail hadn't finished being sorted so I'm hopful. I didn't want to bring this up but asl did, I only ordered mine a couple weeks ago as well. I aint bitching, I certainly don't have any right to and I don't deserve the product before any of you preorders (even you goofy Europeans ) But even so I keep looking. Bratch, Yuma isn't even considered in the continental US... Oh wait thats Gila Bend. Never mind why don't see if you can get one of those A-10 boys to express your package. I always see em flying round when I out there hunting. A couple of bastards even lined up on me and my truck for what I could only assume was a mock attack run. They weren't 100' over head when the flew past. Really pissed off the dog! GreasyPig Phoenix and Peroria have theirs, hopefully USPS is making its way south and east and really, really, really SW for Bratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MantaRay Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Yuma isn't a town, too amny Marines there. And that Sonic has the worst iced tea in the entire world. Makes you wish you would have a heat-stroke. Ray ------------------ When asked, "How many moves do you see ahead?", CAPABLANCA replied: "One move - the best one."

Matt Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Hey, I just wanted to say hi to some fellow Arizona players. I'm in the north valley (35th Ave and Union Hills). Hello - Aikidorat, GreasyPig, Chris Jenkins, Bratch and asl. I ordered quite a while ago and actually received my copy on Monday. I've been playing it nonstop! My wife is so proud of me....hehehe (Not!) If there's an Arizona CM gaming convention in the future, count me in. I'll go in a heartbeat and share some of my gaming stories!

GreasyPig Posted June 21, 2000 Author Share Posted June 21, 2000 Dang Chris, I would have thought you to have it by now. Chandler/Awatuki(sp) aint that damn far from Phoenix. I now have little hope it will be in Queen Creek. I guess the good word from BTS is that ALL US customers should have it by the weekend. Not a bad day today 100 @ 25% humidity. The bad part is the air went out in my wifes car. Guess who got to drive it to work today.. its not that bad at 60mph. GreasyPig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratch Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Manta & Greasy Sorry about the A-10's you must have been hunting on one of our bombing ranges. The A-10's come out of Tucson. Only thing we have stationed here is AV-8B's. Manta, I have good news, the Sonic was torn down long ago. Seems they were sited on a previously undiscovered WWII chemical dump site. You didn't really drink the tea did you? Either of you ever walk though some of Pattons old camps near here? Some pretty interesting stuff still lying around.

GreasyPig Posted June 22, 2000 Author Share Posted June 22, 2000 Brach, Patton no.. Interesting, tell me more GreasyPig PS I knew damn well where I was but can't say the same about the Airforce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratch Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 During the mid 30's General Patton had his desert warfare training grounds here in the Arizona Desert. There were a number of camps spread out between Hyder Arizona and I believe Barstow California. I worked a summer on a large ranch in Hyder and used to spend my off time walking through the old camps. The outlines of the tents, walkways, etc are still there where they outlined them with volcanic rock they had painted white. In other locations I have found literally piles of '06 ammo still in the old stripper clips. Of course among the natives the rumors abound about buried equipment, some saying even jeeps were dug up. I never found anything that good but have some interesting souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hartman Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 I live in northern Phoenix in Moon Valley. Still no CD for me on Wednesday. I thought I would have no worries about its arrival since I won't be able to play until Friday, but now I'm starting to get a bit anxious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Chris I know exactly what you mean. Nothing in Salt Lake today either and I'm getting nervous about the weekend also.

aikidorat Posted June 23, 2000 Share Posted June 23, 2000 GP, fellow Arizonians, Wish I had better news to share, but CM is still MIA down here in ahwatukee. No PBEM for me tonite! Oh well, reckon I'll have to do some house work instead. Oh joy! (I think my Credit card snafu held it up, as I preordered the first or second day you could preorder, way back when. Darn CC company! well, err, actually it was my own doing. I re-ordered per the directions, then sent an email to steve, but forgot I had changed email addresses, and didnt include my full name, so he didnt know who it was from originally. That couldnt have helped. Card was finally charged sunday, and based on info from other posts I bet it went out today or yesterday. May see it this weekend, but next week is looking more likely). anyway, if it comes tomorrow at lunch time I'll let you know. good luck, hope yours arrives today or Friday! dave ------------------ The only reason for time is so everything doesn't happen at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
