rune Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 OK Chicago area cmbbers. I don't expect much on such short notice, but have been given the green light by the guys of BFC. So, tomorrow, July 4th, you have nothing to do, and the wife wants to get rid of you...if you are bored...you can come to the Casa de Rune to get a sneak preview of CMBB. What this entails. A trip into the city, Spatan beer, Pilsner Beer, Fosters Beer, and a few games of CMBB. What I expect. To agree to talk about the game in general terms to the users here. You cannot say things I specifically tell you no to, nor can you get specific on units and stage of completion on units. However, you can talk about gameplay, and two player play. What to expect: Will be home with two dogs, so you better like dogs. Also since wife is working and kids are out of town, please excuse the mess from the bachelor. Let me know who is interested here, and I will send you my address and driving instructions if need be. Time from say 11 AM til 4-5 PM. I have 2 computers on a network, so expect tcp/ip play. Before anyone else asks, no, this is not a reoccuring thing, nor will it be done in another city. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I demand Andreas gets equal treatment!!!! He would not say anything on Sunday, not anything. Bloody Americans get all the perks!!! H P.s. And Beer as well... Nirvana!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Will this be covered by the major media outlets for those of us who can't make it? Casa de Rune - sounds like it's in Los Angeles. I think you meant LA instead of Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Crowley Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I second Holien's request. Come on - a little even handedness here. And what about the "special relationship"? PS Holien, if you're still up for a PBEM with a newby (to PBEM's not CM) perhaps you could email me, as I don,t have your email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I would be willing to host a CMBB party at my house in Kansas City (8 hrs too far from Chicago) if someone would be so kind as to bring along a copy of CMBB. Seriously, I hope many show up, and I hope at least ONE of them is a big blabber-mouth! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maastrictian Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Rune -- you could at least set up a web cam so non-midwesterners can watch other CMers play CMBB. And if that's not cruel and unusual I don't know what is --Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liebchen Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Hey, I volunteer to be the SF Bay Area "rep" -- Let me have a copy to demonstrate to the Bay Area's CMBB market, willya! Huh! Huh! Please!

Spanish Bombs Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Woo hoo! Am definitely interested, Rune, although will have to clear it with the spouse this evening. Was planning on heading into the city anyway tomorrow, so should be able to figure out a way to get an hour or so at the Casa. Thanks and kudos for setting this one up.

ryddle Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Hey, can you host one of your games on webEx so everyone who wants to can log in and watch the game play? I'll play hookey from work to sit in on an tcp/ip game yea, yea... in my dreams -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Someone look on Rune's fridge to see if the release date is posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 SOMEONE TAKE A CAMERA!!! Take pictures and someone write an AAR if you guys play a TCP/IP game! Please do! You can document the whole thing. I think that would work out for the people who can't attend and still feel like they got to see something. So anyone going to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabpub Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Rune, you are diabolical. The 4th of all days. Is this to make up for the fact that NO ONE brought a laptop to the meeting in Schaumburg? I know my wife and I are going out that day, but maybe it will be later in the day...<hope, plead, whimper, grovel, offer her more shopping money,etc> I will try to move heaven and earth to be there, other wise it will be just you and Berli. I wish it could be Sat. as my beloved will be out of town and I am a free agent(so to speak). If I can't make it, say hi to Chuck and Berli and anyone else that makes it.
