Seanachai Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 When I began the game, and heard the buzz of engines over my head, I thought: Ah! An opponent who has chosen Jabos. This will be a good learning experience, as I haven't often faced them. When I lost my first AFV to a Tiger, I felt a presentiment of doom, but congratulated myself on at least having hit it, though I accomplished nothing. When I realized that I was facing both a King Tiger, and a Jagd Tiger, I knew a certain resentment, but shrugged it off. The challenge is all, and some of the VLs were in terrain that could be defended, even against Ubertanks. When my last AFV died hopelessly, and when I'd exhausted my artillery without managing a track or gun hit, and I realized yet a third AFV was in play, as well as infantry, I knew that Meeks, perhaps in revenge for the entire 'Schism' episode, had come prepared to crucify me, pounding silver nails through my hands and feet. I was prepared for my martyrdom. I cast my eyes up to heaven (where that goddamn plane was still buzzing around, shooting the individual wheels off my support vehicles in a leisurely and arrogant way) I quivered with the anguish of combat and cried out "Peng, Peng, why hast thou forsaken me?" But amidst my suffering, suddenly one bright moment occurred! Meeks assaulted one VL with the the third AFV (a StuGIII), and a platoon of infantry, charging them in an insolent manner into my waiting infantry. It was classic! It was perfect! Right into the jaws of death, they charged, Oh Peng! And Lo! The were decimated! The infantry shattered! The StuG at risk! And I relaxed, ready to give up my soul, ready to let the Ubertanks roll over me. I had not fought in vain. Though over-matched, I had done what I could, and achieved this one good moment in an otherwise total loss. And I knew a moment of peace, there in the ruin of my game. And then, Oh Peng, did you see it? Did you read the next email? Turn your face away, thou that wouldst not hear it. Meeks tells me he felt the force selection was 'too gamey', and he had run the StuG III and infantry to their death on purpose! Is not my defeat, my pain, enough, but that like Herod he must mock my suffering?! Must my one bright, shining moment of achievement be rent from me, and cast back in my face with arrogant laughter (alright, he didn't actually laugh and mock me, he was rather nice about it, the useless sod, but I mean, really, why not just kick me in the groin)? Look not down, Oh thou heavens. Look away, Peng, thou fabulous swine. For here is a tale of the evil men (and, well, hamsters) do, the mockery, the abuse, and the trifling your servants must face in this vale of tears. ------------------ Tremble, tyrants and you perfidious opprobrium of all the parties, Tremblez! your parricidal projects finally will receive their prices!

stevetherat Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 Holy flamewar! What's going on here? Andy flaming Pandy, what's got your goat? The pressures of work, no doubt. Yes, I know, we lead a hard life here in Mighty Blighty and a passenger like yourself finds it hard to bear sometimes but, fear not, help is at hand in the form of a cool, soothing beverage. I offer you a cup of heartfelt liquid aid (and that PansyNZer if he's around) on Friday after an obviously hard slog at the office. I offer myself up to help unladen your woes.

You may have seen these Hamsters darting about the place, well here is your chance to squash them yourself. Cleave open their heads, smoosh their pea-sized brains into paste, and serve them on Melba Toast to the Old Crone's Bridge Club at Monte Carlo night. Who here has a Squire in need of a joust?

BFCElvis Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 While I think the frog in the bucket thing is funny as hell you stop your whinning about what the computer gave you. I do not have vets but I also didn't run a platoon across 75m of open ground towards my know position thereby finding yourself light one platoon in about 90 seconds.

Mark IV Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 'Tis true, the wretch elvis has, through an accounting error, logged a tactical victory over our Hero (me) at the low, low tally of 68-32. And the AI did indeed autosurrender my bravely-fighting a$$ while I was in the midst of exacting terrible revenge on the elventruppen. Actually it wasn't all that exact, or terrible, there being one operational AFV still cranking out the elv-wurst at the gamey end. It was about the last turn anyway. The AI is a gamey bastard, someone once said. And so it is. The major cause of this upset was my failure to comprehend that this scenario was conceived as a Meeting Engagement; I approached it as an Attack across a huge open expanse (thus a rather rare use of smoke). And I had CENSORED troops, the lamest barstids in the game. Also the sun was in our eyes and my leg hurt. No matter, my mistake, I pay the consequences cheerfully. There is a song in my heart, knowing that any tactically competent opponent could have pulled a Major out of this, left-handed, while piloting a dirt bike naked through a cactus nursery full of angry bees with the other. A word of advice to those who would play elvis: hope he takes plenty of armor. In fact, give him yours. If all his %&^$#^&%* infantry had been tanks I would have won this thing. Btw, this was by the runething and I would have to endorse it as a good medium PBEM with lots of death. Don't read the spoilers above. References available upon request.

Joe Shaw Posted March 27, 2001 Author Share Posted March 27, 2001 Weighty matters, my friends (and Andreas), we have weighty matters before us this day. Let us, or at least me, examine the record thusfar: Berli apparently roused himself from his customary tupor: Aye! Knight them! This isn't CHECKERS Berli in which we reward someone merely for moving from point A to point B. More on this later. Goanna revealed not only his ignorance but his lack of wit: See, now I knew I was going to have to explain this. I do believe, my neuronically challenged comrade, that I did spell the word I intended to place in my message correctly. The word was meant to be an allusion to the Falaise Pocket... {sigh} Yes, yes Goanna trust me, we understood the reference ... having been steeped in CMBO for these many months I THINK that a reference to the Falaise Pocket would have been tumbled to. MY reference was a clever (no wonder YOU didn't pick up on it) play on words due to the fact that FILET and FALAISE sound somewhat alike when pronounced. I'm surprised you didn't discover that since I don't doubt you pronounce (albeit softly and with moving lips) EVERYTHING you read. Germanboy is a gamey bastard Now that's just about enough of that Goanna ... we have ZERO evidence of Germanboy's parentage. In reference to Berli's incomprehensible suggestion that his worthless and insolent squire be knighted, Goanna quite rightly rebutted (sit DOWN Bauhaus):In short NO FRICKIN WAY! Neither of these two squires have posted anything even slightly amusing about their joust. Must I remind you that they are here soley for our amusement ...Oh well said, Lizardboyo, you see, if you put your mind to it even YOU can post relevant and coherent thoughts. I have nothing to add. I demand that Coleslaw pit Aquaman against another. He's a nasty piece of work and should provide the required vitriol. You are hardly in a position to DEMAND anything Goanna, but I shall put it to my Loyal and Trusty Squire Agua Perdido. It's important, I've found, to grant the squire some latitude in games to be played, too many games and they forget the lessons. Many of you {couBerligh} could stand to pay attention to my lesson plan for squires. Berli ATTEMPTED to respond to my righteous wrath by squeaking:Damned well done. Keep this up and you'll get your spurs in no time. Hah! I think the voice of the CessPool has spoken on THIS issue ... let the lad learn his place and provide us with some entertainment (and cease with his EVIL scrolling ways) and perhaps we MAY consider him for Knighthood, until then he would do well to review the posts of MY Worthy and Trusty Squire Agua Perdido for tips on how a squire should conduct himself. Hate to say this (the hell I do), but he's got you there. Before the Mad Bald Fiend upgraded the forum, we were side scolling around page 20 or so.FINALLY we see Berli taking his duty as a Knight seriously ... let that be a lesson to the young squire. Perhaps your feeble brain has failed to grasp whose squire he isNot at all my bearded friend, I give thanks each and every day that the lad is NOT my squire but rather yours. THAT is the ONLY reason I haven't turned my holey justified wrath upon his sorry carcass, but if you continue to neglect the lad's training I predict dire consequences. There you have it then, my views on the many issues that have populated my computer over the night. Let the CessPool take them into account in their deliberations.

PeterNZer Posted March 27, 2001 Share Posted March 27, 2001 Crodakins, my evil and slightly stupid former co-squire and now co-kinigit, Is this to be a joust for kinigithood? If so, then Stevethegit can play, but on a map of MY chooosing and MY design. Those are the rules. I like to see my squire frolick and play and I'm sure him and Hamy will have a grand old time being crap players on a map of my concoction. If it is just to be a generic battle. Well I can probably accept it, but want to purchase the units for your squire, and you can purchase the units for mine. Deal?
