Tale of the Sheep! - JocMeister (A) vs. Lowpe (J)

[Speedysteve]

In short it's not based on what faced what historically chronologically more so what was the tanks equivalent in history and that is placed in the nations tech tree at equivalent tier

Know this is a WOT thing but I had to post it here since I've literally had tears of laughter watching this. Watch the Hitler video that someone subtitled at the bottom of this forum topic page. The context is that WOT has artillery in it and some players hate it since you're in tanks and can get blown up by an enemy unseen. It causes many to rage! This video was made in that context. I love it:

9th Division is planning for an attack on Vancouver.

There are now 2 divisions and an Air Fleet prepping for Vancouver. Two more divisions + armor and several regiments prepping for Victoria.

Doesn´t make much sense to me though. [&:]

Do you think it's all smoke and mirrors or serious and genuine?

Considering the targets I think this is fake. Taking Victoria and/or Vancouver at this point makes no sense? Right?

Normally I would agree with this assessment, but the buildup in Hawaii and the Aleutians has been going on for some time with a lot of SIGINT on a lot of units indicating firm preparation for West Coast targets. And he has brought a lot of transports to Hawaii with those troops but no indications of them going elsewhere after unloading (unless you are not posting sub encounters with them).

Even if he thinks he cannot get an auto-victory now, he can get a lot of strat bombing points from Vancouver and Victoria which will prevent any allied auto-victory later on.

You don't get strategic points for industry that is destroyed when the base is captured - only from bombing/bombardments.

Yes - that is why I said strat bombing points rather than industry capture.

I thought you were referring to him getting points because he was prepping units for those targets, and then taking them...and getting points from the taking.

[JocMeister]

Not sure if taking Victoria and/or Vancouver would help him much in a strat bombing campaign. He would activate the emergency reinforcements and he would have to hang on to them. Especially Vancouver would be tough against all the WC restricted allied units.

I think its a rouse. For what purpose I don´t know. To be honest I can´t really understand what he is doing. He has now something like 10-12 divisions + 2 tank divisions spread out between PH, NORPAC and Alaska. By doing this he has given away SOPAC and more importantly Burma.

Only thing that makes sense is a move against the WC. But that is just mad.

I think he was upgrading to Win 10 and that caused some issues with his computer. I won´t be updating for quite some time. Still running Win7 Ultimate. [:)]

I just had to save my wifes PC from that stupid MS "focred update" by closing the dialogue box.

That happens on a critical piece of equipment, and literally someone could die. MS is being stupid, bigtime stupid.

[CaptBeefheart]

Alas, I'm on the North American server for WOT and WOWs (and I take it you're on the Euro one). Would be great to roll a few with you, Joc.

Cheers,

catwhoorg,

If you haven't already, google "never10". Made by Gibson Research. It's a simple program I have found in the last week that can disable the Windows 10 upgrade. Simply download and run the program. There will be one, or two buttons depending. One to disable / enable the Windows 10 upgrade, and if present a second button to delete any files for Windows 10 that have been downloaded. If you decide later to upgrade to Windows 10 you can just re-run the application to enable the upgrade.

There isn't any persistant program that does this, it just simply changes a group policy in the registry to not allow Win 7 / 8 systems to upgrade.

Hope that helps!

Sorry to hijack the thread.

BTW Joc, love the AAR, been reading your stuff for quite a while. Keep up the great work!

Corbinn,

Thanks for that pointer.
