ColdSober Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 ... you refer to a one night stand as a "shoot and scoot". ...you have a 'phone that is mobile, and a Tiger tank that isn't. ...the Russians yell "Oo-Rah" and your girlfriend hits the floor. ...your wife left you because she could no longer get line of sight. ...you go to a restaurant, and "very rare" is your chances of scoring a hit on the waitress. ...you start calculating the thickness of the armor on the pickup that just overtook you in the inside lane. ...you know the firepower of an MG42 at 200m by heart, but you can't remember your kids' birthdays. ...you wonder how many split squads you could get into your office, and whether or not it constitutes a "light building". ...you think "was it good for you?" is an excuse to publish an After Action Report.

The ol one eye. Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You know where to position MGs around your house for effective coverage and defence. You have calculated the front, rear and side armor thickness of your '87 Honda Accord. You save old liquor bottles for Molotov Cocktails. Your wife sends you out to dig a flower garden and you end up with a foxhole. You then wonder how handy she would be with a MG34. You're playing frisbee and wonder if you could huck an AT mine that far. You imagine yourself ' Human Waving ' the rude bank teller. You try to figure out the command bonuses your boss has, if any.

Mace Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You wonder if there's such a thing as TOO MUCH CM?!! Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquon Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You mod your '87 Honda Accord with camo patterns, '44 style. You NEVER move on pavement, except for short sprints from house to house. You prefer to enter buildings through smoking holes in the wall. When ordered to do something, you always wait for at least 33 seconds, no matter how incredibly simple the task might be. You stop using google; you post all your questions on the CM board instead. You are convinced that smoke is good for your health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You think three men is a large group of people, two men are a small group and a lone guy is probably a high-value target Out of habit you shoot people with binoculars. You think running over pedestrians is gamey and shouldn't be used when you're with someone else. You check LOS to determine if you can actually see something. In the office you position your chair so that you have LOS to your Boss. If you're the Boss you set up the cubicles around your office, facing the other way. That way all your subordinates will be in LOS (and won't see that you're playing CMBO on office time). You like to drive everywhere, because in the car you are always in command range. [EDIT] You avoid buying a Lada's or newer Volkswagen since they have to trace command between them. You mod your car for added accuracy. When going to the US you trade your Honda for the more theatre specific Acura. When going somewhere you plan all your moves ahead, but pause every minute to determine if the plan needs to be adjusted. When going somewhere you stop and walk in place at the end of every minute.

Nidan1 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You find yourself spending more and more time on this forum because you need the comfort of knowing that there are hundreds of others who have the same weird behavioral patterns as you.

zukkov Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 you see a brand new mercedes and wonder how much extra the owner paid for the rarity factor. you hear thunder outside and mistaking it for artillery, you yell "incoming!" and dive for the floor. you order your boyscout troop to human wave the nearby girlscout camp. then thinking better of it, you order them to halt. but it's too late and cheers of "urrah!" can be heard as they charge forward....

Chad Harrison Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Well, looks like I have played CM too much. I match all the above! Especially the part about where to set up the MG's if I had to defend my neighborhood. I know a great place to spot for mortars rounds too!
