Mace Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Hmmm..Given the reaction above, I think I've discovered a pyschological and gamey ploy that I can use to my advantage in future games. Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzsaw Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 I humbly submit that Catch 22 belongs on any Cesspool reading list, ranking right up there with the many great books Peng listed. Lars My condolences on your knighthood. If you wanted a speedy advance on Crodaberg, they you shouldn't have put up so much barbed wire. Patience, my firend.

Seanachai Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Ah, here we are again! Hello, lowly swine of the Peng Challenge Thread. I am presently coming to you from a terminal at the Epcot Center in Disney Worl. It is a truly horrifying place, but I am vastly reassured by the fact that I can reach out and contact the vileness of the Peng Challenge! A quick message to all Twin Cities CMers! The Old Ones will be meeting next week in the Twin Cities. Myself, Peng, and Berli will meet to discuss many weighty subjects (in other words, none of you will be discussed). Soon, the world will be a better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpkr Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Seanachai- I was going to make some pithy, witty comment on your current geographic location -- but given your current location, anything I say about you're being in a pit of darkness would be redundant. chrisl - You are a fool. Forget the couch-shaped 12 ounce lifters and think about being able to see Kitty! Wanker. And now for Updates: Marlow and I are approaching the end of our little evening fog soiree. It was a meeting engagement, with the victory flags largely in a village in the center of the map, flanked by open ground to my left, and a grove of trees with a victory flag to my right, about 50m from the edge of the village. My fine Fallschirmjagers moved fast to seize the victory locations (and take cover in those lovely heavy buildings). I also sent a sharpshooter to hide in the woods near a victory location on my far left, and sent a platoon to hold the victory location in the grove of trees on my right. My forces in the village got settled in just in time to greet Marlow's commonwealth thugs. His first assault on the center of the village was repulsed with extremely heavy casualties -- I think we annihilated at least two platoons in exchange for one, yes one casualty. He then attempted a flanking move on my left, led by a Churchill or two. Unfortunately, he didn't detect my sharpshooter for about ten turns (even though his men were sitting fifteen feet away playing cards -- go fish, I think, given their apparent intellectual capabilities). That gave me time to use part of my reserves -- Stugs and a platoon of infantry -- in line to slow down his advance. It cost me a tank or two, but it made him think about his advance, and delayed them significantly. Meanwhile, he pounded the grove of trees on my right with small mortars, then charged with half a division of infantry, swamping my platoon. Unfortuantely for him, that is as far as it got. A combination of flamethrowers, machineguns, small arms fire and small boys throwing rocks forced his forces to retreat in disarray. He is trying to advance on the left flank of the village, but is having problems with my 'schrecks and brave fallschirmjagers. He will die soon. Art sometimes imitates life. Herr Speedbump's forces are still trying to retreat faster than I can advance. My personal goal in this game is to use ALL of my armor's HE ammunition. I am well on my way. Lawyer has lost half an armored division and half his support infantry, yet has only seized one victory location. I still have more than half my forces in reserve. Bring it on, D.C. boy. Joe Shaw and I still fight over a tiny village. We have just decided that 'splodey things and fire are more important than winning. With that in mind, we have piled all of our forces in one tiny part of the map (about 125m x 75m) and pounded it with large caliber artillery. It seems to be working -- we are both dying and have destroyed or set fire to about six or seven buildings. Goanna has now lost an entire platoon to a nasty little ambush my First Airborne boys set up for him. He is now desperately trying to shuttle in forces from about half a kilometer away. We will be ready for him. Berlichtingen and I continue to struggle for an old inn on a quiet, tree lined country road. I think George Washington once slept there or something. Anyway, we are both bleeding a lot, me more than him. Elvis' game proceeds slowly because he cannot be bothered with numbering turns. However, his forces appear to be trying to . . . umm . . . err, my forces are . . . oh the heck with it, I can't be bothered to remember. Now sod off -- I have work to finish before OU commences to pounding on Kansas this evening. {edited to add the imminently forgetable Berlichtingen} [ 10-13-2001: Message edited by: MrSpkr ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
