Toran Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Well, so far I've run into the Seven Dwarfs, a lost paintball party, and something from Jurasic Park (T-Rex, I think - it's big and it's making a lot of noise) but no Poles...This is a great map, big on suspense and it sounds like bloody when all hell breaks loose! Very addictive - and I hope I can squeeze more turns in tonight...BTW, nice job modeling the T-Rex, SuperTed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if you ever find any Poles, you'll be in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splash Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Thanx Ted for your e-mail. We're the shy retiring type of players it seems. Inexplicable both sides are on the same radio frequency so we agreed that he swing left and I would swing right. Working like a charm but we forgot to specify whose side to take it from. We're in the bottom of the 2nd. Good thing I'm the calm collected type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to avoid firefights, they cause deaths and machine breakdowns. I'll just rather... Hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Don't expose my bluffs Ted! But I have realized every war department needs a propaganda section -- so here's my Warsaw Rose impression.

Splash Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Say Ted, you're super! Newbie question I've trying to work out how the film works and I've realised that I may be experiencing the "catch" We are now in the 2nd turn so when Dunsel returns the game and I run the film for the first time that will be the result. i.e. if I made a copy of the game upon receipt and ran both films would they be different? I'm confused This is not to achieve the best results but rather ensuring I have something to study. (he said deviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Peashooter? Acck! We Poles-- we don't speak German too good. My book, my book! Thank you, let's see --- yes, yes... Ohhh we meant sharpshooter and that was MY flank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgardner Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Ted, Hawk and I have just made contact. One of his Polish snipers took a potshot at one of my platoon HQ elements. That got my paratroopers mad and they made short work of him. Rumor has it there are a lot more of them (ie Poles). PS We're playing back and forth across the Atlantic so command and control is slow, but steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is happening as the blue meter runs horizontally after Player #2 hits "Go!" Then, the file is sent to Player #1. All the calculations are done, so Player #1 will not be able to change anything. Does that answer your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Manuel Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 My battle vs. Flammenwerfer is in the bottom of the 3rd turn. My FJ's have just begun the first firefights vs. his untermenschen airborne troops. Mmmmmmm, SMGs at 2 meters, mmmmmmm.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Silvio, If your fight is anything like mine and Lord Dragon's, don't expect to exit with too many troops. Those SMGs at close range can be murder! I exited one of my three platoons at reduced strength! He anniliated my Company HQ, and almost all of the other two platoons! I lit Ted's map on fire with grenaids. He chewed me out for it. It was a slaughter. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I second that! I think we both ended up running for our lives with only a scrap of our original force. Shouldn't say running for our lives, more like limping and gasping! Indeed, it was a total slaughter. By the way Vader's Jester, you got my Company HQ too. They stumbled into one of your squads and weren't received very nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligur Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Me and Vadr also made contact. This contact is very fast. Yes, machinepistols from 3 meters. Poor me had a group of Jaegers too close to each other while running at waypoint "ZAHN" and Vadr got a full squad of Polish paras to just bullet spam the milling, twisting and screaming bunch of uniformed bodies and exploding limbs from close range. Bloody mist and bits of meat and bone clung to the trees after only a few seconds. Then he threw a few grenades on the mound of twitching, bleeding flesh. Awww. Hauptmann Boedeker sez: "Himmel! Donnervetter! These Polish untermench, they are mine!" [ 12-12-2001: Message edited by: Ligur ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
