Now, you programming geeks better get your butts back into the program AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU HAVE BOCAGE! SteveSo, what you are REALLY asking for is.......a Shrubbery!!!

Fly Pusher Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 My understanding was that Stalin ordered all captured gardeners, especially those of French descent, to be shipped to Siberia to perfect Bonsi-Bocage weapons which could be transported by partisans in briefcases and planted in rear areas to hinder resupply. I thought this was well known !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanar Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 While slightly off topic, this post reminds on a story told to me by an old Soviet tanker once. When he was a lad he used to love listening to the tales and adventures of Ivan Bocageseed. Ivan was born and grew up near Moscow where he worked in the local Bocage nursery. When he was in his twenties, he struck off on his own to the rich and fertile steppes to bring bocage to the local inhabitants. He spent the rest of his life planting bocage seeds across Russia and earned the nickname the Bocage Man or Ivan Bocageseed. By the time of his death in the mid-1800’s bocage was a common sight across the steppes and tales had it, that it had may spread as far as France! Certainly, his fame did, for the name of Ivan Bocageseed is known throughout all of the former Soviet Union and elsewhere in much of the world. People continue to improve their environment in Ivan Bocageseed’s manner whenever they plant a new bocage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanonier Reichmann Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 JEEESUS H. CHRIST! Now the Pentagon knows of this secret Bocage weapon those damn sneaky Russkies have, we're suffering from a goddamn Bocage Gap!. Quick! Start a new secret weapons program to develop our own Bocage and close this yawning Bocage Gap. TOP PRIORITY!!! / / / / / P.S. Think Stanley Kubrick Regards Jim R.

LightningWar Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 You forgot the Cuban Bocage Crisis. We didnt send those ships to escort those soviet supply ships out of there because of the threat of wimpy nukes. Those ships were laden with bocage and deadly. This probably ties in with the theories about the second gunman on the bocage knoll.

Spook Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I waited in great patience for you to come back, MrSpkr, and state your recognition as to why bocage got the chop. No more. In order for BTS to continue using bocage, did it finally crack that time-space continuum anomaly known as the "Bocage Asymptote"? This being, as that while bocage is a wonderful obstacle to impede movement, it is still not recognized as "covered terrain." Therefore, CM cybersoldiers, no matter how much you yell at them, don't see the benefits to seeking cover along bocage. They'll run willy-nilly away from it, or even across it into enemy fire, seeking whatever other "cover" seems nearby. But I understand your pain. Because I know your true intentions for the stuff. In CMBB, neither side would have tracked vehicles that could cross, could they? So, you create a scenario map, place objectives, completely surround them in bocage, import to an online QB, and then as defender, tell the attacker he can have a 3:1 point advantage. Knowing that the other gamer geek will likely spend on armor and lots of it, it's hard for you to suppress your evil grin, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 MrSpkr, While your exegesis on Soviet bocage secret weapons is beyond fascinating, I feel compelled to question your assertion that Saddam Hussein invaded Iraq in 1991.

Now, everybody is in pain because he is developing missile launched bocage in his new country... You Yankees will do some good anytime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was going to invade Kuwait in August 1990, but his tanks lacked the proper "rhino teeth" equipment to get through the bocage, and got stuck on the way to the border. They continued trying to get through until 1991, when Hussein gave up and decided to have a domestic invasion instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
