Hans Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Well folks I've seen the messages here by the hysterical people who claim the AI is cheating and to be honest I didn't believe them....until now Anyway here is proof positive & undeniable! Situation: Normal little QB with lots of points and the Germans are attacking. The Germans have swept up and taken the main objective with arty and inf. Shermans roll in for the counter attack and are taken out by my gallent Pz IV, four sherms lay burning amongst the fleeing American infantry when.. My Pz start shooting at the sky, OH NO I think fighter bombers, the dreaded Jabos striking late in the battle. But NO A giant hand with extended thumb comes down and squashes my heroic IV, rotates, gives me the finger and heads skywards while an evil laugh is heard. NOW thats cheatin'!!

Dittohead Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Wow I had a similar problem, the clouds opened up and a giant foot smashed my KT. Shortly thereafter the Liberty Bell March(I think) began to play. [This message has been edited by Dittohead (edited 08-31-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Posted August 31, 2000 Author Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hey and I didn't even mention the Army Group size TOT Time on Target with 15 Battalions of 8" hiting my forces followed by three archangels with burning swords That wasn't too bad but when Godzilla showed up and ate my Kubelwagen I just shut the PC off I think Charles evil twin brother, Murray programs that stuff in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Hah, that's all small stuff. Imagine my surprise when the AI was able to buy an entire Panzer Armee, the thermonuclear arsenal of the Soviet Union c. 1980, and Y-HW-H, all in the same 1000 pt. QB! Now that's cheating! ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schugger Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 It must be cheating, since 16 tons could not smash a KT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melloj Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 I know the AI is cheating...its horrendous. I was sneaking a Rifle 44 platoon past some scattered trees, when all of a sudden, a tiny white figure dashed from the tree's and ravaged my poor boys. It was das new Panzer Killer Bunny Werfer. Bastards, that weapon was still in development during that time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris B Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Something similar happened to me. A jeep with some "Kelly" driving showed up _in my setup zone_ during the very first turn. Some song about burning bridges was played and the jeep and took my company commander prisoner and then drove off pell mell across the battlefield, with it's prisoner, to the american lines.

Teamski Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Yeah, well, when I was playing the Germans I was winning this one QB scenario, when a King Tiger showed up on the board as a reinforcement. I'm like, cool, this'll really tear them up. Well anyways, I tried to select it and it wouldn't let me. Then I remembered that I never planned to have it in the first place. Sure enough I zoomed in on it and heard some Americans inside. Out from the couplula chewing his cigar, pops out Sgt Fury! In the driver's seat, his good ol' pal from basic, Sgt Rock. They both gave me rasberries and proceded to tear up my troops. They jumped out of the tank and even punched up my elite SS Recon Platoon, single handed. I almost cried. I want my money back. If the AI is going to pull that, then forget it...... ------------------ "The Lieutenant brought his map out and the old woman pointed to the coastal town of Ravenoville........"

kunzler Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Joe, you are showing your age with that one. Wasn't it popular in about the thirties or something like that? I am showing my penchant for old folk songs by even recognizing it. BTW, I hope you bought that big squishy finger thingy for our PBEM, it's looking like you are going to need it. Spending too much time with your bootlegged Mormon wives I guess. (grin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 Kunzler you Communist ... while I haven't had the intense orgasmic thrill of actually watching the movie of our last turn, I did get your email in which you mentioned something about losing more tanks. Perhaps you'll be the one needing the big squishy finger thing? As for the song, it was more like the 1950's, it was Tennessee Ernie Ford and it was Country Western ... so there. Finally, IF I WERE YOU I wouldn't be making too many statements about Mormon wives. After all, MY wife ISN'T Mormon and wouldn't be offended by copies of scurrilous comments that just HAPPENED to show up in the mail. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunzler Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 You cad! You wouldn't. Hmmm, I guess you have pretty much shown that you would. Will begging help? How about threats of a law suit?

Joe Shaw Posted August 31, 2000 Share Posted August 31, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Will begging help?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No, I was thinking of something a BIT more substantial, perhaps a Panther offerring a clean flank shot while it's turret is pointing the wrong way? And we don't need to get litigators involved, they tend to think in such black and white terms, like "blackmail" for example, I think "negotiation" is a much better term don't you?

Formerly Babra Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Phooey. You call that rough? I played Thrash (and Mk IV...and Swamp....) Gotterdamerung would have been merciful, I tell ya.

kunzler Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 So you want to negotiate huh? How about we negotiate your quick withdrawal of those Bazookas that have been terrorizing my Panzers? What do I have to offer you ask? Well for starters, Steve Young and I happened to graduate from the same class in law school, and say I were to clue him in about how the way you have associated his great-grandmother together on the same thread with Elderberries and hamsters, and say I were to then tell him where you lived....

Joe Shaw Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 You want to play rough Kunzler, fine, I'll have you know that my 6th grade teacher had a brother-in-law who was a camerman on the old Ben Casey TV show. {Yeah I know but it was the best I had} ... Zooks huh? And Steve NEVER hears about it? Hmmm. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunzler Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 Too late. You let your zooks out of their cage and they went and shot a perfectly harmless ps/1. Now I am going to have to play rough. Oh, I guess I already am. I really like the way you have decorated that hill(snicker). How about we rename it the Joe Shaw memorial junk yard?

Joe Shaw Posted September 1, 2000 Share Posted September 1, 2000 You had to edit a crummy five line post? And no "whereas" or "party of the first part" either, I'm so proud of you. The race goes not to the swift nor the battle to the strong ... no wait, the battle goes not to ... uh ... screw it. Hope your other AC enjoys life without it's TC.
