Lurker Posted July 6, 2000 Share Posted July 6, 2000 Spoiler Alert for First Clash at Cambes! I was playing as the Brits in First Clash at Cambes, and was enjoying the scenario quite a bit. The scenario was going pretty well, and I was pushing the SS back. Then came my reenforcements. I got a pair of artillery spotters. Again nothing unusual so far. Then I checked out the spotters - one 5.5" and one 4.2 mtr. I read the 4.2 mtr as 4.2 meter instead of 4.2" mortar. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I knew the Germans had some pretty large artillery and I knew that the allies had naval artillery, but a 4.2 @#!$-ing meter gun... For a moment I was laughing, visions of destroying entire enemy battalions with a single barrage, of nuclear bomb-like destruction unleashed in the European Theater... Nothing could stand in my way! Bring on the King Tigers, Jagd Tigers and all of the rest! Nothing could withstand the destructive potential of the 4.2 meter gun! With this weapon, I stood like a god over the battlefield... Then I realized that it was a 4.2 inch mortar and felt somewhat silly. Then I realized that it was only a game, and that an early break out from the beaches wasn't going to shorten the war by several months and save thousands of lives... Then I felt really silly. I wonder if I've been playing this game too much... Back to Lurking, -Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
