Well rbrunsman, nowadays most of the funny toys are being thought up by people who at least once in their lives were affected by "higher education nonsense"

(See i found a way to justify my time not playing SPWAW )

Well rbrunsman, that read like a match quite dissimilar from our WWI style combat.....

Congrats

<r>Well lets spread some information. It is up to you to decide whether you will believe me or the renegade american spanish general_lacky_to_an_supposedly_beloved_dicatator_named_franco.<br/>

I claim to have reached the age of 30 years.<br/>
And one of the main reasons for my absence (sp?) i ...

Oops, was that your AT gun. Sorry mate, but when this old lady starts waltzing, she just doesn't look where to place her threads anymore. Anyway, we must move on. G'day.

<t>Btw, we call it a meeting engagement because 2 opposing forces meet. However there is no indication whether they meet after a 100km long advance, or that they spring off from a well entrenched position. <br/>
This means that use of mines may well be waranted, depending on how you think the ...

I never found any gaps!

But then you were not looking very hard.
Your troops were too busy dodging those 12 cm shells. How do you think those troops of mine passed the minefield?

<t>I have used mines in a PBEM game against spain. There was some good defensible terrain i ruined because i laid mines. But then, given the troops i had, forests were extremely bad defensible terrain (look at the troops, point and they run). So i decided to block this terrain partially (leaving ...

Hey, rbrunsman, how about posting your OOB and battle plans for Franko? Or did the file i sent you not work?

Btw was busy with work, things might clear up now.
Have found a possibly nice 2person scenario, what slot numbers have you free, so that we can investigate it?

Unfortunately you more than made up for it with those evil 210mm batteries

One zoomie that flew in south of the desired entry point will never do so again.

rbrunsman, you are right, i should have added a disclaimer.

I am familiar on how thin aluminium boomerangs are not a good idea (tm).

Perhaps those gurkas have 99 knives on them (after all they have 99 ammo):p

Boomerang shaped knifes.
If you miss, they return, if you hit, then the new "owner" will not really object to you getting it back :p

<r>I am not quite so sure it never gets used.<br/>
I have had several PzKfw III(e-j) blow up on frontal hits. This may be case where the AP rating also is valid for HE ammo, just like often is the case for MG's.<br/>
<br/>
Anyway, i do not really care if that rating is used, as long as the german ...

<r>As i am not sure how the tone of the "analysis" above will be interpreted, i wish to make sure that the following is my opinion:<br/>
<br/>
Despite those minor spanish advantages, i would like to state that i learned much from rbrunsman, and he deservedly won.<br/>
<br/>
The only major point ...

<t>With carefull use the cruiser III-CS (IIRC) is the best CS tank for ambushes. <br/>
It sports a whopping 3.7 inch howitzer with 90mm max penetration (1.5 times the 2 pounder) and a relatively high firing rate. Later they go back to a 3 inch howitzer, i really don't understand why, since it is a ...

you could for example look at
www.duchet.com

last time i looked they even still had Desert Fox available.

<r>apparently did quite motivate the spanish.<br/>
They are appearing like roaches from behind the cupboard where you are spraying.<br/>
Off course this behaviour is so spectacular that my front line troops can do nothing but point and drool (Remember this is even before B.Gates was born, i already ...

<t>Well to compensate for that railgun you have a heap of smaller bore artillery, a hill of armour and a mountain of infantry. <br/>
And will not even mention those thingies with wings that are passing by.<br/>
So dont you start complaining. :p<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I suspect that this rail gun will not ...

Only minor things are happening. We sent your MC squad back home to tell of your impending victory. They were so motivated that they moved so fast that disappeared from sight, just vanished man, i tell you
