I want to knicker your ego with a home made "Berli Battle". *rumor has it, that the war was really started in a bar fight over a game of Cripple Mr. Onion.

Joe Shaw Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 It is a matter of RECORD here in the CessPool that I care nothing for wins and losses and that I spit upon those who fancy themselves as competent at CM (you know who you are). HOWEVER, when gross deceit is perpetrated upon the body of the CessPool I MUST SPEAK OUT! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>As much as I loath Peng, still must I defend him. What Joe fails to mention is that he started with an entire armored column against one (yes, one... as in singular) infantry platoon, and a 75mm infantry gun.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Now here we see the violence inherent in the system, the "Armored Column" Berli refers to consisted of Daimlers, MG Scout Cars and Carriers! Now I don't know about YOU, but the fact that a few vehicles have a few silly millimeters of armor does not an "Armored Column" make. Further, he "neglects" to mention that said "Armored Column" had to traverse a road every inch of which was covered by the previously mentioned 75mm IG ... fish in a barrel Berli, fish in a barrel. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>He was right that the star was that gun (raped him but good). Then the first round of reinforcements arrive... he gets more tanks (in a beautiful elevated position) while I get a few more, tired infantry. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Ah here we go again, "more tanks" indeed, first my most evil opponent, refer to lesson ONE ... AC's <> TANKS, second the "beautiful elevated position" was elevated all right ... it was ON TOP OF A BLOODY PLATEAU! There was no way off the damned thing, therefore no way to use tactical movement and it was so muddy that one of my TANKS bogged to immobility on the first turn. As to those TANKS ... Shermans if you please, it's not like the PANTHER you got shortly after. And your poor tired infantry wasn't NEARLY as tired as mine who STARTED the game tired, then had to cross and river and rough terrain. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>It continues much like this for the entire game. Peng can hardly be faulted for Shaw's clear lack of tactical talent.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> First, I think that blaming Peng for ANYTHING is fair game and since I had no chance to USE tactics I dispute that my talent for them was tested. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>[ figured I needed to edit to get Joe's dander up]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Oh is it again? Damn, I TOLD the barber to trim it more closely. Then, to make matters worse, Mark IV chimed in, and displayed HIS lack of ... well pretty much everything: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Still struggling with the TRP concept, I see. Is there a remedial Combat Mission class we could enroll old Joe in? This is the worst case of Artillery Deficit Disorder I've seen in a while. The notion of an IG targeting a TRP is positively... Deadmar-tian.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Now look Mark IV I shouldn't HAVE to explain this to you but since you are about as subtle as a ... well, a Mark IV I guess, I'll make an exception. OF COURSE you can't use TRPs with an IG, EVERYONE knows that ... well maybe not Stuka who's still struggling with the concept of pressing GO when he's ready to STOP the turn. It was CLEARLY a literary device to show that the IG had the bloody road boresighted. I do despair at times, there is no appreciation of irony here, there is no humor, there is no ART ... where DID Art go anyway, he was a pretty promising SSN.

First I deny that Peng is CAPABLE of creating anything artful, second he is simply not clever enough to have the concept of a hazing scenario occur to him. As to Jabo!, be VERY careful lad, you are terribly close to blasphemy. Jabo! IS a work of art on many levels, not least of which is it's length of only 10 turns. Can you imagine having to play and actually plot turns against some SSN swine for MORE than 10 turns? And besides ... it's just so damned PRETTY with all those explosions {sniff} ... now see what you've done, you've gotten me all emotional again.

Joe<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Good Sir Joe, please do not misunderstand. Jabo! will clearly go down in the annals (somebody tie up Bauhaus!) of the MBT. It should still be used when a kannigit is cornered into playing a SSN. (In fact, my humble suggestion is to add a couple of 14" spotters!) However, as the move is to force Squires into playing SSN's, we should expect a little more effort on their part. As such, aiming a boresighted IG shouldn't stress them overmuch...

Lars Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 And now for some Game Updates: Geier: Has gone missing. The turn is in your other mailbox, Geier, really. Juardis: ”Arty Fest ‘45” is underway. Not much to report after the first turn. Except that even with a TRP Juardis can make rockets land on his side of the river. Buzzbuzzbuzz: Still is down the hill stepping on landmines and shooting broken pillbox crews. Someday he will realize the victory flags are on top of the hill in “Crodaburg”. Stinky Winky: Is up on top of the hill, I hates him. But, this is a good thing, as we can now push him off. Gilligan: Has walked into the first of many ambushes. He has advanced about 80 feet in ”A Long and Bloody Mile”. Only 5200 feet to go, Gilligan! As regards to the photo, Gilligan, it certianly isn’t beer foam. No right thinking Dane would let alcohol go to waste like that. As MrSpkr said, it could be soap, which is why you didn’t recognize it. Poopoowiper4/2: Sent one more turn in ”Jabo!” after a month long hiatus. The carnage must have been to much for his fragile ego as he hasn’t been heard from since. And it’s artful carnage too, certianly more artfull than "Crodaburg". And finally, Lorak, oh Lorak! Please scribe thusly in the Tome of Shame. Lars – A feckin, stinkin, humiliating DRAW! Stalin’s Organ – A grateful, satisfying, relieved, DRAW! In my defense I must point out that this was a night battle, visibilty was 96 meters, and the damn computer gave me three 81mm mortars and a feckin mortar halftrack. Of course, mine survived the battle, but I wish I had had them all shot like Stinky managed to do with his six mortar teams, I would feel better. In other news, I just heard on the radio that all school children in France must now carry “bully” insurance. It’s only a matter of time before German exchange students drive premiums through the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juardis Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 Signature lines SUCK! They are for the lazy. They espouse nothing that is socially redeemable, remotely funny, or even heroically dastardly. In a short period of time, the whole thought will have been lost anyway since no one reads the damn things and one can't be bothered to remember what it referred to to begin with. As Peng hates smilies, I hate SIGNATURES. I mean, that sig you have had since last freakin November, is it still applicable? Who knows, who cares. Since it shows up every time someone posts, am I to assume the sig applies at all times? I got it, why doesn't BTS give us instant siggies so we don't even have to take the time to put one together to begin with. Here's an instant siggie - You ALL suck!. True. Some sigs are longer than the posts themselves. What does that tell you of the post? That the freakin' sig is a better read?! Or that the post probably shouldn't have been made to begin with since there is clearly nothing of importance in it (the post that is)? If sigs are worthless, bandwidth consuming, afterthoughts of someones ego, (and they are), then a post shorter than that is even more worthless, bandwidth consuming, afterthoughts of someones ego (and it is). Some would argue that sigs are a persons inalienable right to differentiate one clump of cesspool matter from another. Others would argue that sigs are a personal expression of free will deigned to reveal some inner truth about the boob who has it. Yet still others consider them funny, as if the only worthwhile contribution they have to the pool is their sig. {I really don't have anything to say at moment, but I'll post because my sig is funny and I like reading it...for the billionth time!} Bullocks, balderdash, and poppycock!

You have to keep them busy or they start THINKING and heaven only knows what can happen then.
