bighead Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 I created a senario called PBT(Pure Bombardment Test), which I set up a town with a German panzer battalion as the defender. I chosed 20 bomber-fighter and 30 arty spotters from 105mm to 8 inch for Allied side. The scenario was 25 turns, but after 10 turns, German's moral was below 15% and surrendered. Well, actually there weren't much left to surrender anyway. The town was almost flated, and most of the German solders were killed. You know what, the scene was so real, I actually got shell shock myself, cos I was most of time watching from the German sidein see how merciless the bombardment was! I heard the sound of 8" shell flying and landing, and saw the houses being blown into pieces, solders were crying and dying, tanks and vehicles were burning! What the hell!!! Now I think I understand better why solders lost their mind when under the arty or air raid, cos you couldn't help it!! If you don't know what I am saying, do try it youself! I also tried 300mm rickets on Allied side, they killed all Allied solders within 20 mints!! Oh God!! Just a pure hell!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanW Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Hakko, That is hands down the funniest thing I've seen posted on this forum yet. I about split my side reading that line. I'm not big on heckling someone for bad spelling, but that reply was the tops. I've got to go, I need to get my side stitched back up. Dan W.

FWIW, I don't usually jump on people (especially non-native speakers) for typos, but the serendipity of bighead's last line was just too big a target of opportunity. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember them well. Weren't they stationed at Bora Bora when they were overrun by the notorius Imperial Impetigo division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanW Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Ethan, Understood, and a round well spent I'd say. I'm still chuckling, and I forwarded the exchange to my brother, he'll get a kick out of it. Schniff Schniff...I love that. Dan W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were supposed to be reinforced by the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Detail, but the latter got distracted and never showed up. And I bet you were just itching to mention the IID, weren't you. A rash decision if you ask me. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgdpzr Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 ...er, well, um..yes, I'm guilty. It's just that the IID was one of my favorite malady units of the war. I knew fully well that their claim to fame was their epic engagement with the Queen's Royal Light Lepers. Just couldn't find the segue. Sorry, I'll keep my malady related comments to historical OOB and TO&E from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Nonsense, none of your panty waisted, prissy units can match the one that George Laity and I came up with in one of our games ... I give you ... THE 407TH WOMEN AND CHILDRENS BRIGADE. Composed entirely of women with PMS and children with A.D.D. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgdpzr Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Joe, What's this I hear about the 407th causing more casualties amongst its leadership than against the enemy? Any truth to this malicious gossip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Jgdpzr, I posed that very question to the commander of the Brigade, Mrs. Gladys Burbank, the following is her reply: Gossip? What the HELL do you mean GOSSIP? Do you think I've got NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY TIME THAN GOSSIP? WELL LET ME TELL YOU BUSTER, YOU TRY SLAVING AWAY OVER A HOT STOVE FOR ...
