KnifeForkSpoon Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Mom Tomorrow our CENSORED platoon crosses into the CENSORED for operation CENSORED. It is an incredible feeling mama. To be teamed up with such fine men in such an impressive military formation. I'm sure that our American adversaries will soon wish they had never dared to set foot apon our continent. As we are set to roll over them with much speed and carnage. Mama, I hope to make you proud tomorrow. And if I do not make it, you can blame my platoon leader. Nyuk nyuk . . . Seriously folks, I'm in the set-up stages of TEAM RUMBLE II and it is already the most fun I've had in ages. The briefings, the maps, the coordination. It's like I'm participating in a real military operation, right down the radio net security. I'm having such a blast, and we're still just in the set-up phase. (I'm sure my glee will be somewhat diminished as soon as I'm blown to smithereens.) Much accolades go out to Gordon Molek for setting this whole thing up. Also, much handclapping and vigorous nodding in the direction of our overall commander for German forces, Mr. CENSORED. He has done a superb job of organizing us into a deadly fighting force. Next time one of these RUMBLES comes around, I highly recommend you jump on it. KFS [ 06-12-2001: Message edited by: KnifeForkSpoon ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpkr Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Ditto to everything he just said. This is a pretty awesome event. It really brings home the difficulties inherent in coordinating units even on the tactical scale. I mean, we are having to coordinate a reinforced battalion, and seeing the difficulties and miscommunications just in that little scale. I can't image the confusion and coordination problems inherent in commanding a regiment. Anyway, just my two cents worth. Do it if you can - I plan to do so again in the future.

Andrew H. Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I read once that some soldiers at a checkpoint during the Bulge became confused when they challenged a high-ranking general (I've forgotten) whom by asking him what the capital of Illinois was; they confusion came about because the general answered "Springfield," but the soldiers had been of the impression that the capital of Ill. was a larger, more northerly city. Apparently most of the other people passing through the checkpoint were under the same impression, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you just got the Americans ticked off as much as we are. Now, please, before my Bren gunner starts up, rence do gory... KFS. Now isn't that interesting.

PawBroon Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I've been given the command of 15 TRPs. Now how should TRPs be supposed to address the Command Net? Huuh? Or am I supposed to dump my load on those Krauts when I feel like it? Gordon, could you clarify? PawBroon L-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Mekanik Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Gordon has gone Gamey! I work in the same office as Gordon and I heard him telling his assistant that he went "Gamey" towards the Axis in this Rumble. The Americans have 1,500 points of AT mines and 1,500 points of AP mines. Can't swing a dead kublcat without making something blow up.
