Maj. Bosco Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 I think you should keep this in the bike thread. After all, how often did soldiers wheel their brothels into battle? Not very often I'd guess. Then you'd have all those pants cluttering up the landscape as soldiers rushed to get their weapons. Though I'd really like to see what the mod makers could do with this feature, I think it's just outside the scale of CM . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 6, 2000 Author Share Posted November 6, 2000 I was thinking this could work something like an HQ unit. All Italian troops within hooker radius get a morale bonus. ------------------ Grand Poobah of the fresh fire of Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wwb_99 Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 As a historical note, most Armies traveled with the functional equivalent of a moblie brothel. Of course, if it were a greek army, they would also travel with many pubescent 'shield bearers' who bore much more than shields. . . WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Parts Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 What kind of penetration could we expect from such a vehicle.. shall I stop now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Deych Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 I read the memoirs of a soldier who served on the Finnish front during WWII... he mentioned once that one of the patrols in the area spotted a bunch of women bathing in a lake (during summer, probably), decided that they were a mobil brothel there to entertain the SS troops they were facing...and called an artillery strike on them. Lovely, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 D@W, based on your profile, no one in your office should have been surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Steiner Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 Yes, camp followers would be just what's needed. Send all those broken/routed troops back to the MBU (mobile brothel unit) to instantly raise their "morale" ------------------ "Natural body oils, combined with dirt, can keep you waterproof" -Krüger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted November 6, 2000 Share Posted November 6, 2000 CM should also include moonshine stills and other booze factories. When Finnish troops advanced to Petro... (oh dear, I forgot the Russian form of the name of the town, I mean that town on West side of Lake Onega that is spelled Petroskoi in Finnish) they found a 3000 liter vat full of vodka. Apparently the Soviets left it intact on purpose. The result: in a couple of hours pretty much all men of JR 30 were stone drunk. Including the commander. Had the Soviets staged a counter attack at the time they would have recaptured the town easily. A sapper squad was sent in to blow up the vat but they had severe problems as approximately a platoon of drunken soldiers arranged an hedgehog defence around the vat. They even put some LMGs in firing positions. It took a couple of hours before the vat went up to sky, and even then few soldiers were severely injured because they charged to the vat with buckets just as the explosives blew up. - Tommi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted November 6, 2000 Author Share Posted November 6, 2000 While we're at it, let's model the effects of nicotine addiction! Units which are out of supply can suffer from withdrawal, reducing their fighting ability. Perhaps, in a wee tip o' the cap to the RTS genre, BTS can include randomly placed 'Powerups,' including Lucky Strikes and Hershey Bars! The possibilities are limitless! ------------------ Grand Poobah of the fresh fire of Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 They probably wouldn't be able to get a penetration while unbuttoned eh? ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website!

Stuka Posted November 7, 2000 Share Posted November 7, 2000 What if the target has 'skirts'? I would hope my 'hollow charge' would still achieve multiple penetration..... Would the target still want a cuddle afterwards? BTS, please fix or do somefink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
