By this method they can cripple my troops' morale even before the battle starts. They doubtlessly hold the flags with bailed vehicle crews which exit the map to occupy the VLs. Thus far my efforts to pursue them and capture the VLs has resulted in my own troops disappearing, never to be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 My research into historic VF relocation Continues: Operation Citadelle, Kursk, 1943 The real reason that Hitler called off the offensive and shipped key Panzer Divisions to the Mediteranian is because the Soviets had the major VF moved from the town of Kursk to Sicily. Unfortunately for the Germans, it was also a high valued VF for the Western Allies, and they happened to be a lot closer to it at the time. In the meantime, the soviets aidropped two smaller VFs to each side of the Kursk Salient and then commenced their counter-offensive. Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EXISTENCE of MVFs is well documented, the ONLY question is whether they are mobile WITHIN THE SCOPE AND SCALE OF CMBO! Finally, if you are going to use "authorities" to bolster your shaky stand, at least be so kind as to establish their credentials ... who IS this chap QED and why should we pay him mind? <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>MASH's do not, did not and will never exist and are in actual fact an invention of Robert Altman, or whatshisname the TV director.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Haha, I have you there you English dwelling refugee. MASH is ON TV regularly and shows actual MASH units in the performance of their duties (I can't believe that the US Army spent so much time and money on filming that ONE MASH unit in Korea, you'd think they would have filmed a combat unit or Dugout Doug or something). <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Moron.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Andreas, don't confuse the outerboards, THEY don't know that Germanboy and Moron are one and the same, be consistent and just sign your posts as Andreas.

Lawyer Posted August 7, 2001 Author Share Posted August 7, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Wilhammer: How come we can't target VPFs? Why were no tanks made of this stuff? I have seen buildings burst into flames, only to explode in glorious balls of expanding force and flame, only to see the VPF land squarely back on its point, so proudly waving, so unburnt, so still THERE. 1. The shaft of the VPF always points down, and never waivers from plum. Talk about your "erect" staff. 2. The Flag never burns, thus avoiding any and all constitutional issues. 3. The flags have INTELLIGENCE. They are perfectly capable of detecting the nationality of the nearest force, or lack thereof, and instantly, in a cameleon like fashion, blend in and get coveted acceptance from that side. 4. The flags have ultimate Stealth, They hide with a shift key combo. This trait is shared with Vehicles too, so it is not unique. 5. The flags possess a large gravitational pull. When visible, if you trace an LOS or targeting line towards them, they tend to grab the visual line and pull them into themselves when the line of sight is too close. The new Uberweapon! VPFs = Viagra Penultimate Farce signal devices.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I like the cut of your jib, Wilhammer. You've got vision necessary to see the VF problem clearly, as well as its side effects. Also, you are from God's Country (assuming Jesse Helms is god), and you practice two tawdry arts where accuracy, quality, customer satisfaction, and plumb lines are mere irriatants to be ignored. I would personally honor you with a sound goring, except that I see my Oxen Buddy Ike, a True Brother of the Bar, is thrashing you already. Remember, incest in NC is still sex, and it's better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
