Manx Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 I think i can speak on behalf of my compatriots when i say that the British contingent on the CM board will remain calm, cool and collected whilst we wait for our packages to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's discuss how to make the perfect cup of tea while we wait here, maybe discuss the latest Cricket match. Okay okay I am not British, but I am an honorary Irishman, Republic of Ireland, that is. Also, are brew-ups (tea, not Shermans) abstracted in operations, to uppen the morale and the stiff upper lip in-between battles? ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakko Ichiu Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 I would have thought that in the age of Blair, Cool Brittania and the welfare state, the typical British response to the long wait for Combat Mission would run along the following lines: Oi! I want my f*#(ing Combat Mission you f*&^ing c!@#s and I want it NOW!!! You wot!?! You mean it's not f#$%ing here?!? Right!!! Sounds of bottles being broken, heads being butted and crowds chanting "'Ere we go, 'ere we go, 'ere we go!" Pip, pip. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Posted June 21, 2000 Author Share Posted June 21, 2000 What-oh, I think showing aggravation in public is bad form indeed. Most of us Brits prefer tiffin, listening to the sound of leather on willow followed by a few flaggons after stumps chinwagging with a few stout yeomen in the local hostlery.....And yes BTS should definately give the Brits a higher fighting morale if they've just "PKO'd".

Joe Shaw Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Andreas, I'm not sure if it was in the book or the movie, but the same pair you're referring to also made a comment (I'm paraphasing here) "Thank God for DeValera (referring to Eamon DeValera, the ... President? of the Irish Republic), he kept us out of the war." This, mind you, while they're in the middle of the D-Day invasion. You gotta love the Irish. Joe Sorry guys, I HAD to re-edit after reading this: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Most of us Brits prefer tiffin, listening to the sound of leather on willow ...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> But how does Willow feel about that, did anyone think to ask her? ------------------ Compliments appreciated, Questions answered, Death Threats reciprocated.

They sort of seem to like the blonde girlies with their long legs and pony tails that play in the mixed teams. Obviously I purely play for the sport. I am also the inventor of the Netball Nazi Defence, as my team mates dub it. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipanderson Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Hi, "calm, cool and collected". Well as another one of the Brits I can only say that I am trying. One of the problems is that everything I hear about the game makes it clear it is going to be even better than I anticipated, and I have known for a long time it was going to be stunning. After playing the demo and reading reviews such as the Games Domain one the wait gets a lot harder. All the best, Kip. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
