Juju Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hehheh, welcome to the wonderful world of Combat Mission, Ted. Smooth the descent, easy is the way. Say goodbye to loved ones, kids and pets. Oh, and what Mace said, that was good advise! The demo is just the tip of the proverbial CM iceberg. You'll be wanting more (I know most of us here have). Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen-x87H Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Hey Striker when you bring in the Fighter/Bombers in the full game better make sure you know what you are doing. I dont want you coming apart at the seams like you did over Macho Grande! Welcome to the game. It is the best game I have ever bought. So good in fact I have bought 1 game in the last 14 months since I owned this work of art Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Striker Posted October 14, 2001 Author Share Posted October 14, 2001 Macho Grande..... Yes, I know, things used to be different. I remember when we first met.It was during the war. ( Flashback)I was in the Air Force stationed in Drambui,off the Barbary coast. I used to hang out at the Magumba bar. It was a rough place, the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cut-throat from Bombay to Calcutta. Its worse than Detroit. The mood in the place was downright ugly.You wouldn't walk in there unless you knew how to use your fists. You could count on a fight breaking out almost every night. ( fight between two women breaks out. Chairs are crashed . . .) ( Saturday Night Fever music starts to play when juke box is clobbered I didn't go there that night to fall in love I just dropped in for a couple of drinks. But, suddenly there she was. I was captivated, entranced. It hit me like a thunderbolt. I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I was afraid to approach her, but that night fate was on my side. ( The man Elaine is dancing with gets a knife in his back. He tries to ascertain help from Elaine by pointing with both hands at his back, but Elaine thinks that this is a new dance move and mimics him. He collapses and dies. Striker begins to dance disco style with Elaine, soon a crowd gathers to watch. Both Ted and Elaine dance in humanly impossible ways. The crowd cheers. Next the bar is empty, and its the end of the night. Ted and Elaine are still there with the 2 fighting women. ( end flashback ) We laughed, we talked, we danced I never wanted it to end. I guess I still don't. But, enough about me, I hope this hasn't been boring for you. Its just that whenever I talk about Elaine, I get so carried away, I loose all track of time. for all you old,nostalgic ppl like me. enjoy.
