Snarker what a gamey loser. Never in my life of TNT-Chucking at the GrandMaster level have I ben forced to play such a gamey, one-sided scenario! :mad: I hate you!!! And even under these horrendous conditions I've managed to take one of the 4 flags and will soon take 2 more you MG-Underestimating pool of neanderthal genes. That's because my TNT is hotter, angrier, more violent, and more disturbed (it's medication has been intentionally withheld for 3 months now!) than yours will ever be maggot. The rest of you suck.

Of course, I knew you were joking when I read the words, "I have been enjoying Mr. sodball's scenarios" in your post. MasterGoodale, now I can see why your turns have been so slow. You are so constipated with rage that it's a wonder you can even find a keyboard. By all means keep chucking the TNT. My Germans will return the favor, but in lead for your overpopulated infantry division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-Lax2121 is the guy who lost a member of the pride of Germany's tank fleet to a T-Twentys**t. Do you not understand the implacations of this!? This blunder alone should have caused the spirits of Patton, Rommel, and Zhukov to manifest themselves in his house, kick his ass, force feed him the game CD, and then break every strategy game he possesses for tic-tac-toe on up! Axelgrease, please, hit the ceasefire button before your tactical ineptitude causes your computer to implode upon itself like the house from 'Poltergeist'.

Nippy Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Enough with the prose, time for a short sitrep: Axe2121 - Oh the AAR on this battle is going to make for some great reading. The "what my opponent could have done better" section alone will be novel lenght. Robohn - Still away on a business trip. He left just in time to miss his T-34s getting pwned by my Marder IIIs. Shosties4th - We had just started our game when his modem cut out, so it's still too early to tell just how badly he is going to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Axe_ Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 Well, Snarker and I finally reached the end of that slugfest Soddball calls Inferno. I won a minor victory but if you want proof of the excellent force balance check this out: Men OK - Snarker: 129 Me: 148 Total casualties - Snarker: 135 Me: 131 Men killed - Snarker: 43 Me: 42 Jas :mad: n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Turns are out to quite a large number of you. If anyone needs scenarios, I would like two vict...volunteers to playtest the updated version of Island in the Sun (ME, sunny, dry) Ice Cold in Avnavodksk (Russkie attack, Dec 41, Snow, Snow and Snow).

_Axe_ Posted June 27, 2003 Author Share Posted June 27, 2003 *sniff sniff* What's that smell? Soddball, you've been in the GF again, haven't you? If you have time to pull yourself away from the well-crafted arguments and wit that are the GF, could you please e-mail me the ice-cold thingy (no, not your heart, maggot - the scenario) to jasonballantyne@sympatico.ca? :mad: :mad: Oh, and Crow. I do believe this one has your name written on it. If you have the time, I'm willing to perpetrate the crimes against your pixeltruppen. What say you maggot? I'll even let you pick the side -- Russian attack or German defense. Don't delay -- offer limited.

Dave H Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Maggots, I've got some bad news for you. Last night I downloaded the demo for Strategic Command and tried it. It took me about 10 minutes to go numb playing it. So I'm sorry, but it looks like you maggots are stuck with me and my tactical ineptitude for a while longer. Soddball, I'd try one of your new so-called scenarios, but I think you banned me. :eek: I'm still searching for another scenario to try out on Keke. Axe, thanks a million for your suggestions. Apparently my middle group ran directly into the reinforcements you were shifting to your left. I had intended to use the groups on the right and left to try to pin your men on the flanks, and I actually had most of my infantry in the center. I'm learning a lot from you and Keke. I've learned from mike_the_wino, too, but that was how to be gamey. For you sad cases who have been over on the General Forum (like me), doesn't it make you appreciate the camaraderie of this thread? Oh, MasterGoodale (you maggot), for your information, that is a good thing. Sorry about using words with too many letters for you. Anyway, I had a guy over in the GF jump all over the nickname of my home state because I referred to him as a southern boy. Oh wait, that was our own Jim Boggs, the Florida maggot!! Jim, how is your wife progressing? Much better, I hope? :cool: Poor Soddball has been unfairly branded as anti-American in the GF. While there is no denying he is a drunk, a maggot, an Englishman, and the designer of bizarre scenarios (in descending order), I've seen no signs of him hating America. Some Americans, maybe, but not America. So Soddball, don't let a few zealots bother you. We love you, man. All of you maggots who haven't yet had the opportunity to crush me in CMBB, your time is coming. My last three PBEMs have seen me go down in flames to the tune of 95-5, 80-20, and 70-30. As you can clearly see, I'm on the upswing, so if you haven't played me yet, you'd better hurry before I reach the magical 50-50 and above. Limited opportunities are still available. Call now, operators are standing by. [ June 27, 2003, 09:28 AM: Message edited by: Dave H ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I long for a good logistics officer. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz Actually, it was the sameness of the military units and the sameness of the combat that bored me the most. It's the very same problem I had with Cross of Iron back about 10 years ago, and the same problem I had with Empire before that. I couldn't identify with an army or corps or airfleet like I can with, for example, an anti-tank gun. In CMBB I find myself thinking, "Just hang on for a few more seconds and the MG will get set up and open fire on that infantry squad that has you pinned." :cool: Nothing against Strategic Command as a game. I've been reading an AAR on that thread between Jersey John and Disorder that really got me interested. Evidently they are a lot more into it than I felt. To me the units are just generic infantry, generic armor, generic air. If I want to do production and research I think I'll play MOO2 and Alpha Centauri instead.

Pre set forces (possibly in a scenario?) would probably be a good thing rather than allowing me to choose 2 anti tank guns to face his 5 infantry platoons :mad: .... Force balance? Well I've mainly been playing infantry stuff so far but I'm willing to try my hand at anything, the only way to learn is to get in there and get on with it, even if I lose (which is likely) I'll learn stuff (which I'll then promptly ignore the next time I'm faced with a similar situation) .... Would I like to be Russian or German? Not worried, let DaveH choose. .... Thanks, I'll hope to hear if my application has been successful soon. Goodbye.

Shosties Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 The best way to play grand strategic wargames would be as rival teams, where folks can specialize and handle tasks best suited to their abilities and interests.

I'm sure there's something out there to fill the bill. It's funny you mentioned this: "Pre set forces (possibly in a scenario?) would probably be a good thing rather than allowing me to choose 2 anti tank guns to face his 5 infantry platoons", as that is exactly the situation I find myself in with the MaggotGoodale. Except it's more like 3 anti tank guns against 20 infantry platoons. I sure wish I had machine guns instead of anti tank guns. Whoever heard of MasterGoodale using infantry, of all things??

Yes, but how would you react when the minister of state security announces he needs your money to build prisons and hire guards for the subversives? Or the minister of education needs the money to rebuild the schools destroyed by bombing, and to hire teachers to replace the ones now in the military. Or the minister of transportation needs the money to rebuild damaged bridges and tunnels. Or, more likely, when they all need your money at the same time??? :eek: :eek: Actually I personally believe the worst thing any nation can do is throw all of its money into arms and war production. That is wasted effort, and produces nothing of lasting value. Ask the former Soviets how it worked out for them.

Nippy Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 HoI got released before it was ready for prime time. (Stategy First? Big suprise, no?) WWII Online, GI Combat, Strike Fighters: Project One, and Sudden Strike Forever (Read: The patch you had to buy). Quite the lineup. As for grand strategy games. The only one I've ever found that acheived a perfect ballance between tactical and stratigic elements was X-Com UFO defence. When you didn't upgrade your equipment fast enough you could feel the effects on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
