Armand451 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi there all. My name is Jordan Mechanic. In October of 2007, my computer crashed hard and I was not able to get it back up and running until after I moved from Oklahoma to Washington DC about six months later. I was playing a number of CMBB PBEM games (I think we had three games simultaneously). Unfortunately, ALL of my data was lost including my partner's email address. I just now reinstalled CMBB and was able to get it working with the patch. So, I am writing this post to try and find him. I remember that he lives in Australia and had "Ant" somewhere in the email address. So, if this sounds like you, I would LOVE it if you would send me an email at my new email address of j_mechanic@comcast.net. Thanks much all for tolerating this post. Very Respectfully, Jordan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Armand451, Could you possibly be referring to CM Ant? That's the handle of one of our members here. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Armand451, Here's his profile. Ring any bells? Definitely plays CMBB! http://worldatwar.eu/index.php?esid=7a7f4f9af67d15f5ddd834da2023ae5c〈=3&refcode=158&location=commprofile&commid=541 Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Well, another Battlefront miracle... I'm still playing this damned game after all these years, AND reading the forum... I used to be Antman...but these days I'm Cranky......(I got older). Thanks John K for your efforts....that CM Ant guy may not be the real Antman, but he does bear an astonishing resemblance to the young Johnny Cash...great hair Email dispatched to Jordan...time for PBEM! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Cranky, Welcome aboard! Again! Glad you managed to reconnect--even if I did come up with the wrong arthropod--and have fun! Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 John, I prefer the term 'Insectile-American' Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranky Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 John, we are drifting hopelessly off-topic here, with rocks to our leeward, but before they pull the plug and the ship goes down, did you see in PRAVDA the other day a little story headlined 'Lamb Born With Human Face" ? I thought to myself, now there's a future identity crisis....especially when it comes time for a roast dinner... Cheers, Antman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Cranky, Nyet! But very droll! To get back on topic, QB or scenario? Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Scenario: 'Lunch Counter Lunch - Poland; Germans try to stop half-hearted Soviet thrust at Warsaw... Armand's pick ...neither of us have played it... No spoilers please 1944...means the kind of tanks that scare me...I'm an early-war man, myself...I like a tank to have a tiny pop-gun that makes a silly liitle noise, and armor no more than 12mm....pistol- and sword-resistant, that's all you need... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Cranky, Rather difficult to provide a spoiler when you've never played it! Try not to get shellshock over those big, nasty tanks. Now, where is Kogarah Island? Google Earth doesn't even list it as a location, but I did find a few places in Oz using it as the name of a resort or development.

Cranky Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 A resort, it's not, but a development? Now that kinda makes sense...a lot of building going on around the hospital and the station at the moment... You know Clive James? Slightly rotund chatty fellah seen on British TV delivering Bon Mots? He's from the island... So is Rugby League great Reg Gasnier. GO THE MIGHTY DRAGONS!!! I'm not too far from the airfield...just a few miles south, past Rockdale Plains. On-topic bit: Please, John, can you (or the other 0.3 people reading this) tell me why the trenches in the scenario I'm trying to design keep breaking into chunks? They are fine when I'm placing them in the Editor, but during playtesting they start to develop problems, until spaces start to appear between them, creating areas that are NOT trench, and have no cover....I'm trying to create a continuous trench line with other trenches feeding into it... I'm going to search the forum for this topic now, but there's undoubtedly some simple explantion that everyone knows but me. Thanks, if you can shed light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Well, I di find a thread devoted to this very question: 'Incredible Shrinking Trenches', posted by Demoss in 2003, but no answers... I'm going to do the right thing and ask the question in the appropriate forum: Scenario Talk. Cheers, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Try to keep overlapping to a minimum, I recall that may help a bit. It's been a while since I've dabbled with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
