Peng, I Am Still Taking Our Bloody Challenge Public

[Chupacabra]

UPDATES -

Scrota The end is near, squire. Care to surrender, or are you going to make me come hurt you? Come on, just admit you learned your tactics from Cap'n Crunch, and we can all go home.

JDMorose A nailbiter of Shakespearean proportions. I've traded a platoon of inf. and a Hellcat for two Panthers, 4 armored cars, and quite a bit of infantry. Looks like he's got 3 platoons of effectives, 2 ACs, and 2 Panthers left. Piece o' cake. Lawyer boy will soon be filing for mommy.

Sha-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na-nandorf ran into the wrong end of my reenforcements. Can you say, ouchie? Advantage, Chup.

Senility Still no action, but at least he's sent me a file, which is an improvement.

Choco Taco I haven't had a chance to look at the file yet, but I'm sure it displays all sorts of bad things happening to your men.

The Catwoman sent me a very strange setup yesterday. I think this one might be a fun or silly game to keep track of.

I received nothing but green Polish infantry. From what she is telling me she has all German armor. Assuming the point value is even for this meeting engagement she should have had enough for like 2 tanks ( I am exagrating a bit of course but there can't be many). So far no Germans have been sighted. I think I have seen the turn 3 movie. Oh yeah something else I left out...from my setup area to the VLs is almost completely flat and open ground. I would love to win this one.

All I want is the file you , yourself promised to send.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh, its a Joust map you're wanting. You will curse the day you reminded me. The map is ready, however, I need to know which of the Knights is sponsoring Foobar. It is their responsiblity to choose the forces for this less than epic clash.

How did we get into this first album crap? Oh well, how about KISS Rock & Roll Over, and BTO- Not Fragile, later copied to reel to reel, as cassette didn't exist yet. First cds were Pink Floyd- Dark side of the Moon, and Dire Straits -Brothers In Arms, one of the first albums to be recorded digitally from the source.

And what is wrong with Cheap Trick? Live at Budakan is one of my favorites, and I have most of their cds. I even have a used guitar pick I got from one of their shows.

Hear ye! Hear ye! The Court of CM Assizes -- Trial Part 13 is now in session. The most spectacular and resplendent, not to mention honorable and dead sexy Professor Doktor Hamster X presiding.

In the matter of jdmorse & other protohominids, P.C. vs. Hakko Ichiu, I now pronounce sentence.

Mr. morse, you have plead guilty to complete tactical incompetence and negligent waste of digital lifeforms. In your pathetic attempt at command of Axis forces you lost 122 men (30 KIA), with a further 70 captured, 3 mortars and 4 vehicles while inflicting on your opponent a mere 65 casualties (17 KIA) and the loss of one mortar. The court hereby determines that your score is 11 with the result being a total Allied victory.

In mitigation of this egregious breach of the standards of humanity, I can only note that being a lawyer you cannot be expected to meet any such standards. I hereby sentence you to 30 minutes in the fighting cage with Kitty at such time of the month as she is most liable to a hissy fit and much biting and scratching. In addition, you will perform community service by abasing yourself before the August Kniggets of the 'Pool, presenting your pert little heinie for condine punishment and shouting out at the top of your lungs, "Nanny, I've been a very baaaad boy."

Court is now dismissed. All rise. No, not you Bauhaus, oh, never mind.

Seems the CC folks aren't ready for a Peng thread. Lots of them take themselves very seriously, (with a few nice exceptions, like probably the ones reading this). They're not ready for Peng, not ready for the sheer amusement of rivalry built over weeks, even months.

Why can't you all just let the 80's die the horrible death it deserves? Damn you all! I have dedicated my life to erasing that mistake in time called the 1980's from my memory. What is your problem people? You just can't let go of the bad hair cut, pastel wearing, jeans rolling, fat laced, high top, horror of a decade? Hmmm? Please!! You all are very, very sad. I have pity upon you.

Now go and listen to your Skidmark, christen rock, Warrant, White Lion, White Snake (one more white band and I will vomit uncontrollably), Cinderella, Rat, Poison (If I ever thought of multiple homicide it was when I heard them) tapes and rot in HELL!

Updates...

Be vewy vewy quiet... I'm hunting Crawdad's. Last turn he had the temerity to launch an assault against one of my legions of platoons with tin cans and hamsters, and it actually hurt a bit, while the remainder of my troops got their uniforms dirty while tumbling around the ground in laughter at the German arty.

I have now grown quite tired of this little game of peek-a-boo in the mist, and am preparing to sweep the board. In one way or another, this will not drag out another interminable 20 turns.

The battle with Sheepshagger goes on and on, and will until neither of us will have any infantry left, but having The Teflon-coated M8 From Above on my side, I should prevail.

Shandorf packed up his little gerbils into and onto his tincans and scurried into town as fast as their little legs could carry them. How predictable... *sigh* I told him that I was trying something completely different. I intend to hold my few buildings while bringing the rest of the town down about his little gerbil ears. All I need is the VLs, I don't need no stinking buildings...

Mr. Morse, you have plead guilty to complete tactical incompetence and negligent waste of digital lifeforms. etc etc......

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Your honor, If I may approach the bench? However, on perceiving a vile and malodorous fragrance emanating and wafting from same I shall address the court from back here.

May it please the court. Now I am just a simple country law-yer, not so well versed in the niceties of the big city ways of my esteemed opponent, Mr Ethan Hakko Ichiu, esquire. Mr Ichiu would have this court believe that his "victory" if that label of opprobrium you care to use, was a product of his assorted, nefarious and infamous planning. Sir I say nay to that! You shall not nail this victory on that some shining cross of gold, sir. You are a catamount and have betrayed all that is holy and good.

I am accused, nay convicted of tactical incompetence. I stand before you guilty by my own admission. The choices were mine. Unfortunately, the plans so well thought out in solitude are then expected to be executed by others. If I am guilty, sir, it is of misplaced trust and responsibility in those, my men, selected by me to carry out the orders given. Their craven action upon commitment to battle is a stain, a vicious calumny that wounds me grievously.

For this the shame I have to live with shall remain with me all my days. Yet sir, we are not beaten. This my cause, my sacred obligation perhaps done in by a Dolchstosslegende of fifth columnists (who shall be exposed for the vermin they are) We were not defeated. Yet I shall prevail. Shoot if you must this old grey head but I shall not bow down before your graven image or bow down in supplication to your golden calf of Nike.

I have this date filed motions for vacation of sentence, arrest of judgment and judgment on the verdict n.o.v.In addition, this court of Assizes sits in law not equity and thus jurisdiction in personanum does not lie.Your patent attempt to assert a Bill of Attainder shall be exposed at the highest levels. to that end, a Petition for Writ Certiorari and Mandamus has been filed with the Court of Appeals and I serve upon you this date an injunction and stay forbidding further imposition of judgment. Bond was waived by the way.

As the true victim here, I have graciously and munificently offered a re-match to either allow purgation of the doubts and veil of suspicion that has fallen on Mr Ichiu's "alleged" victory or to right the scales of chivalry and prove that this "victory was not the product of consorting with evil and baleful powers. Consider the numerous irregularities that occurred in the mysterious inability of my tanks to strike home at the demons heart time after time, shots going awry. Or that my veteran crews cannot see the TD 10m's infront of them, or that allow mere Halftracks to shrug and prance as 120mm mortars explode immediately adjacent, with out the barest whiff, nay total insouciance to prattle about and not abandon the field, while my 251/8 abandons the struggle upon a puffy pistol shot. There is trickery afoot. Bargains with dark powers have been struck. The Victory sir, is tainted.

I close, with the understanding that my esteemed brethren may not have the wherewithal to summons and master the demons in a FAIR fight. That is his choice, to slink back into the darkness whence spawned him. If that is my fate so be it. But heaven and hell be my witness that even as I must master the path between Scylla and Charybdis, and Charon must transport my soul to the Elysian fields, I shall be avenged, I shall reclaim my day.

Am I then to assume neither it is unique to scurrying them across the map on foot like YOU are doing. Lets just see if you can knock the buildings down faster than I can displace to another.

In the meanwhile I invite you to perch your armor upon the hills and proceed to have them waste their HE ammo. By the time the dust settles in this battle you will find me firmly entrenched within thy city.

Also.. You didn't point out that I seized the town within the first turn with out taking a SINGLE casualty. Sigh... Can you say the same. I think not.

Now instead of a meeting engagement you are attacking and I am defending with equal strength.

Good luck you will need every little bit.

Sincerely,

The Bastard,

The creation of evil was sent to him last night. I have modified VOT and CE to true epic evil proportions. All this was a warm up to my masterpiece, which Bullethead and Wild Bill have helped with. The map is pretty much done, just troop deployment to go.

MEEKS! PAWBROON!

That scenario you two mad boys sent me locks up Combat Mission everytime I try to load it, and puts files into the folder labeled 'junk file (string of gibberish)'. I've tried loading it both from the Scenarios folder and the Saved Game folder, same results. I cannot presently prepare your surrealist combat. I'm on a Mac, but I've never had problems with PC designed scenarios before. Either resend, redo, retry, abort, fail, or see if someone else can purchase the units, the file as I have it is a no go.

How very nice of you to drop by. Next time, we shall certainly put on the kettle for you, and use the hot tea to scald the bristles off you like a slaughtered hog. My word, yes, what a wonderful world you envision. How interesting that the CCers keep an eye on the CM Board and the Peng Challenge Thread. We, quite oblivious, wouldn't give the nether parts of a rat to know what you are all up to. Still, the idea of a jolly sing-song with our CC brethren does have a certain appeal. Unless the songs you know resemble that abomination of bad rhyme you posted previously. Then, and I think I speak for all the lads, we'd rather shove a live weasel up our arses than try to sing something on that level. Still, treat it as the right one, as my old Da' used to say. I look forward to a day when we might meet, clasp arms, and our lot will put the boot in. That's what we do, here in the Peng Challenge Thread. Don't despair, though, there's tedious, humourless, and unquestionably brainless folk to be found on the CM Board, as well.

Ah, Berli, you justify my faith in your utter unfitness to live amongst simple folk. Well done.
