Darwin Posted October 6, 2000 Share Posted October 6, 2000 Wasn't sure if I saw a minor glitch or not. Do assault boats leave any remains when destroyed? I noticed my opponent wasn't firing anymore so I sent some men to investigate only to find my boat was gone. I don't think he was able to steal it and am assuming forces under his control commited vandalism upon my ingame property ie one canvas floppy or "assault boat". If anyone has any information relating to this incident or any other boat dissapearances please post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Weiss Posted October 6, 2000 Share Posted October 6, 2000 Yep, same thing I was saying yesterday. One of my infantry teams just up and dissappeared. I've listed em as AWOL ofcourse, but spent a half hour in the pouring down rain in some French village trying to find them. Now I got a cold on account of not having an OOB visual list. I'm told this is all old hat, the oob visual list idea. Hey, maybe my team slipped over and borrowed your boat and took off for some fishing. ------------------ "Wer zuerst schiesst hat mehr von Leben" Moto-(3./JG11 "Graf") Bruno "Stachel" Weiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Posted October 7, 2000 Author Share Posted October 7, 2000 Well it soulnd't have sunk as there was no water around, we we're hoping to use it once we took the rhine for picking up the babes. But unfotunately it seemed to be a magnet for the german troops who didn't have a boat of their own. I guess it was jealousy... I'm thinking for my next battle I'll commandeer all the skiffs from the local villagers and use them as a form of security perimiter announcing incoming visitors by the large volume of fire they tend to direct upon them. Or maybe just few strategically placed rafts near expected armor duels, defensive strongpoints and AT emplcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted October 7, 2000 Share Posted October 7, 2000 Nope, they didn't use it for picking up girls. I mean, what kind of chick is going to want to ride in a beat up alunimum Munson skiff that smells like a very ripe salmon (actually 3,000 pounds of very ripe salmon), just to hang out with a bunch of exausted fishermen who showered last Monday and washed their raingear three months ago? If you want the truth, I took your boat! It had better turning than the one I'll be fishing in next summer, and the outboard didn't need ether to start it. Man, I hate my summer job. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.

Sir, Johnson's just come back from a recce around the perimeter! He says we're in trouble – we're holding off the fanatical SS Panzer Grenadiers up front no trouble, but someone spotted your harpoon and the hamster skulls, and now our flank is in danger of being overrun by Greenpeace activists! They've got flowers, sir – Richards thinks they're some type of Rhododendron! We've got to get out of here before they start singing! ------------------ '...With mortar shells raining down everywhere, he said, "Come along, Padre".'

Darwin Posted October 9, 2000 Author Share Posted October 9, 2000 Innacuracies, hmmmmm, point taken. I'll have to invistigate that before I send it off to print. That's not Greenpeace Johnson, It's Jerry Garcia and his hippy friends. They're bringing nitrous and L for our protest over this whole war thing, we're gonna have like a sit-in at our foxholes.

Darwin Posted October 10, 2000 Author Share Posted October 10, 2000 Ok, the game has finished and listed on the AAR is 1 vehicle destroyed. As the boat was the only vehicle lost, the obvious conclusion is that yes the boat was vandalized and the remains hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never vandalized your boat, although it does have a few dents in the bow from when I rammed my bosse's boat, the side is covered with green slime from shaking off the net, and the tiller on the outboard keeps falling off right before I get up on step. So basically it's as good as new. How about that poker game? As soon as I get the full version (eta 2 days), I'll play a game of pbem poker with you on chance encounter, VoT, Reisburg, or last defense. They're the only maps and units I know. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Darwin Posted October 10, 2000 Author Share Posted October 10, 2000 Actually, I still haven't played all the scenarios from the full version. I've been saving them for blind pbming. I'll go through them and find which ones are still open. I would much rather play one of these than the old beta scenarios. What say you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted October 11, 2000 Share Posted October 11, 2000 Sounds good, but I haven't had any experience with units other than those in the demos. I'll still play a blind scenario, though. CM will hopefully arrive thursday. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown.
