Mannheim Tanker Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 1. You check LOS to your boss' office before starting up CM at work 2. You're sure that he can't see you because you're hidden 3. You always make sure you leave your car in a hulldown position when at the mall 4. In the middle of an intensely uncomfortable situation, you have this irrepressable urge to pop smoke and back up There's gotta be some more out there, with all the lunies on this board Let's hear them!

Bullethead Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 You describe your ADD nephew as not having sticky enough targeting. While watching said nephew's Little League game, you envision a flamethrower team hosing out the opposing dugout while arty rains down in the outfield and a sniper drops the umpire. ------------------ -Bullethead jtweller@delphi.com WW2 AFV Photos: people.delphi.com/jtweller/tanks/tanks.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 22, 2000 Share Posted May 22, 2000 11. When you find yourself trying to rotate the view in a POTD. 12. When you survey your neighborhood for good spotting positions for Arty spotters. 13. When you try to guess the "soft spot" of passing automobiles. 14. While walking through the woods, you hear a twig snap and your first instinct is to give the "hide" command. 15. When your boss tells you to do something and you reply, "OK, Sarge." 16. When you get the urge to set up a MG42 bunker in your front yard for the mailma..err, uh...never mind. 17. When you hear a car back-firing and look around for an arty impact. 18. When you see three people walking in a small wedge formation you wonder where the other 9 people are. 19. When you see the car in front of you letting out a plume of smoke from the tailpipe and you wonder if they had a 'zook or 'schreck stached in there. 20. When you feel the need to mount a set of M1919 MMGs on you rider lawnmower to gun down those pesky yard animals, ie squirrels, rabbits, etc... So there!

Lorak Posted May 23, 2000 Share Posted May 23, 2000 I think it is just driving down a road or highway thinking "great place for an AT ambush". And Seanachai, I love your sig quote. Lorak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Foobar Posted May 23, 2000 Share Posted May 23, 2000 LOL I spent the weekend in the Mountains, and as my wife and I sat gazing at the beautiful scenic vistas, I was constantly trying to determine where my next bound would be, with my platoon.

Lorak Posted May 23, 2000 Share Posted May 23, 2000 Great Seanachai, I've always liked that story too. As for Fionn being concerned about the tunneling beneath his feet.... Did they plan the escape attempt without him? Lorak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Morgue Posted May 23, 2000 Share Posted May 23, 2000 i've always said , that CM is a very realistic simulation of front line combat. Now i know it is , sounds like most of you guys are starting to show signs of PTSD from this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
