Corvidae Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 And so it begins 35 turns of heat and dust and terror, 35 turns of french jokes, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvidae Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I have sent Evzone his sellect units turn, I fully expect to be surprised, once this gets started I hope to see a repeat of my last PBEM battle, (ie; lots of bad jokes) Although given that I am commanding a french force, I expect that the joke is already underway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvidae Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 I count at least 5 ( possibly 6) enemy tanks, 3 halftracks, and a gun, but have seen no infantry. My own forces of course are utterly unprepared, (they are french), The enemy has KOed my main AT gun and its supporting flak unit, he has also destroyed my armor. I may be off to a bad start, but there is still hope for a glorious french victory, I still have the capacity to throw rocks and insults and bad cuisine, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvidae Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 My AT rifles plink uselessly at his tanks, The heat and dust are almost worse than the shrapnel from his bombardment of my troops, There are maggots in the escargots and the coffee is teppid, WAR IS HELL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evzone Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I've moved my platoon of IIFs a mere 100m forward, keeping out of range of Corvidae's ATRs but at a reasonable distance for the IIF's 20mm. I am prepared to withdraw if he gets too close. I've been bombarding the palm trees in proximity to the flags with an onboard 81mm, 50mm mortars, etc. where I could see Corvidae's forces were concentrating. Terrible loss of life for three palm trees in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately, my men are virtually unhurt and morale is high. My infantry prepare to advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvidae Posted August 26, 2006 Author Share Posted August 26, 2006 And unfortunately my men are french, and too stupid to recognize a disaster when they waltz into it, In all reality, I screwed up this battle, I moved too fast with a force best used at closer ranges, I'm now attempting to recover my balance as it were, Trying to consolidate a line with spent troops, Its going to get messy, Eventualy he has to close to bayonette range, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvidae Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Prinz Eugen, bad jokes are the point and purpose of life, Let us celebrate the idiocy and depravity of state and empire, by making bad jokes, Let us look upon catastrophy and tragedy, and make bad jokes, For if we do not laugh, The sheer horror will make us all insane, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaska. Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Corvidae, would you like to do battle in the East Front ? Far away from the corrupt Paris politicians. In the desolate Russian forests and steppes, where life ends quickly and violently, where there will be no mercy. Only vodka, cans of tinned spam and spent 7,92 mm cartridges. And more vodka. How about it ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvidae Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Prinz Eugen, Absolut ly, But let me finish being slaughtered here first. I have 2 PBEM games on the go already, Not sure I could balance a third, But yes I think some steepelands terror would be fun, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaska. Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Trés bien ! ( I probably got that wrong, two words, it's not much, but for me there's plenty on chances to go wrong ) I'll give you some steeplands terror when you have the time. You reckon hot desert is bad ? Mate, you don't know the word pain if you haven't fought at temperatures of below -30C ! Our battle, be it ME, attack or whatever, will take place in the harsh Russian winter. Welcome to the Eastern Front, comrade. My email address is in the profile. Feel free to mail me when you're ready. PS. I prefer Smirnoff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvidae Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Prinz Eugen; watching your breech block shatter from cold is not fun, but most of my CM experience is in BB, and a lot in brutaly cold conditions,, your offer is accepted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuirassier Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Be warned, Prinz Eugen_2, I have followed Corvidae's last splendid AAR concerning the Russian Front, where he was defending near Kursk with his courageous Russian soldiers, and was victorious. I even saw him commandeer a flaming T-34 and ram it into the flank of a Tiger just after bailing out to saftey with a Chuck Norris roll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
