Call for Volunteers - Pacific Version

[BAL]

Eddy - I changed "silly" to "unnecessary" in my post thinking that some may misconstrue my meaning. I see I was too slow on the edit. [:(]

I have no issue with constructive criticism, but the SZO discussion was over the top. I couldn't even read the whole thing. That's probably why I rarely post on such forums as they often degenerate into internet shouting matches. I know from reading here that Panther has excellent customer support. But to be fair HPS also has excellent customer support, but I contacted them directly.

Anyhow, if anyone from any particular fan-base took offence at my post that was not my intent. I don't have enough time to play the games, let alone argue about them!

BAL,

I don't think anyone should take offense after all we're a pretty tolerant bunch here. I would say that most of us here are more interested in having a good time and endeavouring to create, develop and play the best wargame we can than argure for arguing sake. So rest easy. [:)]

I'll type quickly then, before you edit another thing

Over the top ? - you must be new to this internet thing
Seriously : check out some flamewars on UseNet for the *real* abusive stuff.

Sure, the main difference is not customer support but customer participation.

HPS : total secrecy as to their next game/project => no customer input
Matrix : announce early and open a forum => customer input

SZO PzC forum : fanboys only
Matrix forum : apart from the maniacs at the WitP forum (hi guys) pretty tolerant and open for new ideas, criticisms etc.

Now, I don't have to tell you which approach will in the long term result in the better game ...

See, that's the difference - everyone in here will shake their head and ask themselves where you get this idea that your post could be offensive.

I've got a good system going regarding this : argue while at work, play when at home

Greetz,

Re Dave - Thanks for the comments. Some people say I take it too easy.

Re Eddy - I used to post a lot on internet forums, but too often the discussions devolved into name-calling rather than a reasonable talk about our favorite hobby. I just no longer care for that. I will say that Matrix has one of the better moderated forums, and that's not just sucking-up talk. [:D]

I would post more from work but time prevents me. The only reason I'm posting a lot today is because a shipment of materials I need was delayed. [:@]

Heavy words so lightly thrown... Eddy we know where you live (we don't really, but Belgium is small, and Flanders even smaller [:D]) and we're sharpening our pitchforks [;)]

p.s. How about those guys over at the PzC forum? Are they sensitive or what?[;)]

More defensive than the Russians at Stalingrad.

[cabron66]

You know what really gets me about the PzC camp? I really honestly wish they would come up with a new engine because the battles they choose are so freakin cool. I mean, what other game offers you the chance to play Kursk, the whole thing, down to company level? It's amazing. If they would just take the time to make them playable I would instantly convert. Playing PzC as it is right now is so annoyingly interesting. I love to see the action unfolding on such a large scale, but I hate going through the massive amount of work necessary to make it unfold.

Cheers

Hi,

I still can't see why you want it changed - I think it's a rather cool nick

Greetz,

Eddy Sterckx

That's funny stuff. Thanks for the link. Check out meaning number nine. Until I left Mexico I never knew there were any other meanings.

What's even funnier is that they have missed the most offensive meaning of the word entirely.

Cheers

Paul

WoW this is going to be so fun to be able to play these agems when they come out so much to look forward to[:)]

Any planes on including Japanese Paratroper actions in Early part of the Pacific war? Thiers a great new book out on them:

All the Batles of this time frame have always intrested me greatly.

Hola, cabron! [:D] I just love saying that word without risking a fistfight.

Panther: Go modern, get a defense contract from military anywhere and make good money folks. If you make good money, we all benefit with your continued business life.

Here here! I'm all over a modern setting as well. I know it's been visited thousands of times, but Fulda would be intense. Israel 67/73/today would be something to behold as well.

Check out "The Star and the Crescent" from Shrapnel Games. Very worth a look.

Nice. I have played quite a bit of ATF. Found it pretty damn hard. Coordinating your attacks was very difficult to say the least. I'll have to revisit it to get up to snuff (don't have a copy anymore)
