Denwad Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 Oh, sorry, I misread APCR as APFSDS, don't know why. :confused: Been a while since I read my PE tech books. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gloves are coming off! Now yer gonna find out what this board is really all about! Seriously, the Sherman never had APFSDS...at least until the Israelis got ahold of it. In fact, I don't think anybody had APFSDS until, what, the late '60s (when did the Sovs start using it? I know they had it by the time of the Yom Kippur war). And only the Firefly had APDS as far as I know. Michael </font> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auggy Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Welcome to the game denwand. This simulation is like nothing else you'll have ever seen. I'm 15, though most of the board members are much older. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumbergh Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Old people hobbies are great fun as a teen, especially if you get dad involved. Nothing was better than doing R/C planes with my dad, and I assume that nothing will be better than whooping your dad at CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzman Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Funny, my Dad just watches me and says, "What are you doing with those red and yellow lines..." or "are you playing that shoot'em up bang, bang game again?" LOL I tried to get him to play it, I think He'll stick to Risk and Axis & Allies. I must have been oh, 15 when I started playing CM back in the CMBO beta days; the last three year have been interesting, and no its not because of Madmatt... ok maybe it is.

Vanir Ausf B Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 This is an exciting event! We've never captured one so young before. Most of us thought groghood did not occur until later in the lifecycle. :confused: Observing this one over the next few years should yield a wealth of information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denwad Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 LoL Looks like I'm having problems with getting it as a birthday present. Guess I'll get it with my b-day money. As if I spend that money on anything else anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
