DaveR Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 There I was, fighting in Italy. My Aussies had a steep wooded hill to climb, and I just knew there was something nasty waiting for them. First turn. Nothing but the twittering of birds in the trees. Second turn. More of the same. third turn, still all quiet, and now the objective flag was within spitting distence. Fourth turn. All hell breaks loose. M/G's morters the lot. But the tension was so great. As soon as the firing started I jumped, and cracked my knees on the bottom of my desk, my coffee went all over the place and my heart missed several beats. Now tell me about another wargame that can do that to you <grin> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zukkov Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 lol.. yes i've jumped a time or two myself. usually when the view is locked to tank. i watch intently as it moves forward only to be hit by an unseen tank or at gun and blown to bits. definitely not a time to be drinking coffee... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiggDogg Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Dave, Pretty good game, eh. The interesting part is that the CM community, though somewhat diminished, is still going pretty well after nearly four years with the original game (BO) and its successors (BB & AK). Cheers, Richard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Aussies had a steep wooded hill to climb, and I just knew there was something nasty waiting for them. If they were indeed Aussies then that would indicate a poorly researched scenario since all Australian units were withdrawn from the MTO after about November 1942 and therefore well before the invasion of Italy. Perhaps they were New Zealanders instead? Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 The first time I played CMBO I spilled a beer I was so excited. The 1st time I played CMBB I spilled a mixed drink. I won't mention what happened for CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonS Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Oh come on Jim! Stop trying to BS him - we all know you don't really talk. It's more like a poorly strung together series of whines, "mate!"s and baa's. Next you'll be trying to tell us that Phar Lap is an Aussie, or sumfink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanok Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 One of the most tense times for me, is when you have a one-on-one tank battle going. Both vehicles have spotted the other and may even have fired a shot or two. You just know the next shot is going to be a kill, but you wonder if you'll get off that shot or if he will. In the eternal seconds of reloading, you begin to yell at the gunner to fire the darn thing! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper employment of Aussie’s and indeed ANZAC troops (I believe I’ll get cross ditch support for this) require the consumption of liberal quantities of beer (XXXX, VB, Toohey’s, Swan, West End, Boages, Cascade or indeed SteinLager) or Bundy Rum! Not only will the troops work better but you wont have such a violent reaction when things do happen. Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 "sux, fush ind chups, sux, fush ind .." Wot? Oi dun't geddit. Note to Gibbo: we export Steinlager for the same reason you export Fosters. Frankly, I'd rather drink meths. However, should you replace the Steinie with a Macs or a Macashins, or at a pinch a Tui, I'm right there with ya cobber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand digger Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Six sucks, sucks six.......... Yeh it is a jumpy game, those friggen birds twittering away are always the prelude to something bad. And no doubt the Allied tank gun loaders slow down deliberately, just to boost your blood pressure. :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinetree Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 Nope,it was an Aussie boat,OneAustralia or somefink like that,sunk in about 30 seconds flat.A bit scary at the time,rather humourous afterwards. Isn't funny how everytime someone gets our two nationalities mixed up on these forums,the Anzacs are quick to correct the poor fella and even quicker at start hurling insults at each other.
