Becket Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Screw this computer stuff. Got L2's Russia Besieged about a month ago and am finally getting around to trying it out. Before and after pics of my Barbarossa attack (this is just the first impulse of the first turn, I get to attack and move one more time before the Soviet response).

Soddball Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Does that game model the icy hell of the Northlands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Becket, are you one of those uber-German fanboys who gets a thrill from playing the opening of Barbarossa over and over and over again? I've known guys who played the first few turns of Third Reich so often they knew it by heart. As far as I know they never finished a game. By the time things slowed down for Germany, they had lost interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becket Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Winter effects & Leningrad Ice Road are modeled. Nothing special for areas north of Leningrad, I assume because there's nothing strategically significant there (for this game - only a tiny bit of Finland is shown, and if you take Helsinki, the Finns are out of the game).

Becket Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Originally posted by Dave H: Becket, are you one of those uber-German fanboys Quite the opposite. Though I am, of course, uber. I just think the game is neat, especially in how it models the opening attacks. I was shocked by the disintegration of the Western Military District.

Thermopylae Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Many delays have slowed Wallybob's eventual demise, or at least that of his pixellated warriors, but rest assured, it is coming. Yes, he has finally recieved another turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson & Crick Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hey Axe, did you lose your skype settings? I just tried using it and it logged me out and lost all my contacts. Moreover, it would not let me save your info. Lucky me. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some spade said rock’n’rollers, you’re all the same. Man that’s your instrument. I felt so ashamed.

Significant proportion of the L-L aid to the Russians was channeled through that route, especially in 1941 and 1942.

Seanachai Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Originally posted by Sgt. Viljuri: We would have never surrendered! And nothing strategically significant out there? How about the Murmansk railway? Christ, it's amazing what foreigners will fight over. I guess it's because their own lives are so dreary! Not like the Finns, wondering when their control of the cell-phone market will catapult them into 'being almost slightly relevant' again. Nor like the pronouncements of some halfwit like Becket, who seems to think that any post he makes without wetting himself entitles him to the status of someone 'who's not as fecking stupid as he appears'. While I admire the free-spirited nature of the exchanges here in the 'Waffler' thread, existing without rules or hindrance, nor the direction of Justicar, or the review of quasi-mythological figures characterized only as 'The Olde One's', I can't help but notice that most of you lot are so fecking stupid that being abused by members of the 'Peng Challenge Thread' must seem like 'a dream come true' in your path to sentience. Seriously, I've challenged what passes for the 'my shoes aren't wet with my own urine' leaders of your thread, and I have, so far, been very disappointed. You lot need to step onto less soggy territory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 <font size=5>Good Morning Waffles!!</font> Better, Axe? Today is my supervisor's last day here at the Census Bureau. Gayle has worked here for the last 27 years and is retiring tomorrow. She selected me for this job seven years ago and I hate to see her leave. She's smart as a whip, has an almost photographic memory, is totally blunt and obscene, and to top it off she's hilarious. At her retirement reception yesterday we figured she had told every one of us to go to hell many, many, many times. Originally posted by Seanachai: (snip)I have, so far, been very disappointed.Awww, did we make an Olde One sad? Don't worry, I'm sure some of your <font size=1>penguin</font> wankers will act like fools to cheer you up. Maybe you could draw and quarter a few of the Australians. That's always good for a laugh. PS Start with that non-turn-sending Mace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
