JimF Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 In playing a PBEM game as the Allies I think I achieved a first. In the dark of a rainy night, my engineers occupied several stone houses, the central one having a flag. I have stood up to several German assaults driving them away with enormous casualties as they ate flame from my 3 flamethrowers. On the latest attack, 2 Germans got into the main house which contained some 36 Engineers. The Fool Next Door turned his flamethrower on my house, driving all the Allied men out, leaving the Germans in control. Has anyone seen anything this dumb before?

Soddball Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Oh yes. Flamethrowers aren't exactly a precision weapon and your soldiers are daft enough to try it. I have lost halftracks and infantry to overzealous flaming, most commonly from a Wasp or Badger. The only solution is to order your flamethrower units to burn each other to death within the first turn of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Thanks JimF I am sitting here at work bored to tears when I read your post. I got a good laugh out of it. I don't mean what happened to you although you have to admit it's kind of funny but the way you described it. Thanks for the laugh. Sorry about your guys.

Skolman Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Very strange! My flamethrowers revuse to fire on a building which contains friendly troops even if i ordred them to flame the building. remember WAR IS CURIOUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie the Toad Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 How in the world did you get 36 guys to stay in a house? What a target. At least sardines have oil to slide around in... ............ Toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
