Mango Breeder vs. Vitreum

Vitreum · Post by **Vitreum** » Sat May 18, 2002 8:58 am

The battle across the Atlantic is under way...
In the Mighty U.K. stands the feared Mango Breeder. (Germans).
In the U.S.A. corner the timid and frightened Vitreum. (Russians).
Advance (me) : Delay (him). 5000 points.
Got through the buying phase without a hitch....kinda.
Since I have never played as the Russians, it took a scant 2 hours to select my forces of death.
In my absolute brilliance: (READ: I selected and erased about a million different units) I DO NOT HAVE any Forward observers.....
Oh My Stupid God!!
They WERE on the Recruit list General!! I SWEAR!!
Somehow I erased them and did not know it!
So I deployed and sent my mess to England via silicone....er silicon.
Mango-boy sets up and deploys and sends it back.
I take my first ever turn via e-mail and lo and behold, NO ONE DIES! WOOHOO!
Colonel Breeder is sleeping soundly as this update is being wired to H.Q.
I shall fill all in on round 2, and see if he will contribute to the memoirs himself........

Until Then Sleep I Must......

though I know you probably already thought about it

when you hit that F4 function key and it asks you what type of re-inforcements you would like...best pick a motorized FO or two!

Other than that...Fight on gentlemen. We all look forward to reading your dispatches.

Thanks for the tip.
I know this is gonna make you guys laugh, but do I need any UNUSED points to get reinforcements???
I...uh...kinda spent ALL my cash.
I totally forgot about reinforcements until you just mentioned it.
DOH!
Note to self.....REINFORCEMENT savings account.

BTW: I love reading the posts between all you
Guys in th VS. section...Funny stuff.

You get a 20% additional limit for reinforcements, but if you call any, he gets 25% of their point value, just as if he killed them. Then, if he kills them, he gets points again. Do you both have 5000 points?

Goblin- A Goblin says call them in

PS- See 'Never Thought of That..." by Belisarius in the Training Center forum. All about reinforcements.

Thanks Goblin.
I think I will call in a FO or 2.
If I need any more Main Forces, I will try to hold off until Dire Straits.

Goblin - A goblin spends a LOT of time in the forums helping newbs....
Thanks

"Never reinforce defeat". If you call them when you're that bad, they won't make a difference! The computer gets 1:1 points on a meeting engagement, 2:1 on a delay, and 3:1 on an assault. Since you are a human, you probably don't need 2:1 on an advance/delay, but you should have shot for 1.5:1 or so.

Goblin- A Goblin says anytime;)

Once again thanks for the sound advice....

RE:5000 points.
I do not know how many points he started with.

Any one seen Mango??
Is he hiding already??

I just got a turn from Mangobreeder so you should be hearing from him shortly.

Mangobreeder · Post by **Mangobreeder** » Sat May 18, 2002 11:38 pm

Mangobreeder Wakes from his slumber to find the daily report o his desk,

He orders his forces to advance and meet the emny heard on.

Nothing to report apart from a few pot shot from long range didnt even hit.

His troops are continuning to advance through the thick thickets on towars the enarby village.

On wards to the next turn

Turn 2 complete.
Still timidly searching out Jerry's location.
No casualties, but I did spy a column of halftracks, and a Panther way out yonder.
Put a few rounds across the halftrack's bow...just to let them know some firepower was on the map.
Sent the game to Herr Mango for follow ups.

Question....
When I start my turn, is there a way to "see" what happened on his turn? Or is it a pain in the butt??

Right above the mini-map is VCR playback. If you guys have even points, this will be bad for you!

Goblin- A Goblin always rewinds

Vitreum · Post by **Vitreum** » Sun May 19, 2002 12:40 am

Bad for me?

ahhhh I knew it...

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Sun May 19, 2002 12:46 am

You might want to find out how many he had, before it goes too far, if its off, you can restart. Or, you could say no reinforcements for him, just you. That would balance it a little.

Goblin- A Goblin wonders how you breed mangos:eek:

Mangobreeder · Post by **Mangobreeder** » Sun May 19, 2002 12:55 am

Goblin you breed mangoes with a whole lot of love

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Sun May 19, 2002 12:58 am

Do you have to get a mango drunk first, or just tell it you love it?!;)

Goblin- A Goblin thinks it sweet:p

Mangobreeder · Post by **Mangobreeder** » Sun May 19, 2002 1:00 am

Well you sing some barry white, swing your hips give it the come to bed eyes and work that magic, which can only xist between Breeder and mango

Goblin · Post by **Goblin** » Sun May 19, 2002 1:03 am

You really should post on my thread in the main SPWAW forum 'Screen Names'!

Do you cheat on a mango with, say, a kiwi or some such?

Goblin- A Goblin likes melons:p
