Hey Habs, you and your droogies making it to Lancaster this summer?

Habbaku

Yeah, we're packing 'em in like sardines again this year.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Unless I become gainfully employed by then, I'll swing by and say Hella...?

Let's see...Combat Commander, BO: Normandy, HIS, Advanced Civ.... :hmm:

HIS, though?  Really, J?  JESUS H CHRIST YOURE NOT A WRITER YOURE A KILLER


Well, at least with Combat Commander, Berkut can't complain about the other guy attacking him for no reason.  :nelson:

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

That'd be fun.  Hopefully won't see you there if renewed employment prevents it. :cheers:

Nobody has ever complained about you attacking them for any reason.

Something will prevent it, but it won't be employment. Or lack of employment.

LnL BoB, NOSB, and DJ have arrived. Nice components in all three. For some reason there is a Ponyri scenario in Dark July. That is the reason for the Ferdinand. The DJ module is centered around Prokhorovka. So the Ponyri scenario is like..... :huh: . They could have added another Tiger instead of that POS assault gun. :mad:

Oh and CM Normandy and Commonwealth too.

Like I said, Lock n Load can be a little hit or miss when it comes to their stuff.  Should've named the company "Spray N Pray".  Heh.  Just made that one up.

The more I read through it, the more I'm impressed with the mechanics of Summer Lightning, though.  Always been intrigued with operational level and below Poland '39 stuff.  I like games where the Poles have a chance, and can show their grit.

Let me know if the Germans scream when they're hit by PIATs.

Panzer, had to jog the memory on that one.


The "Air War" of tank games.

My God, let's hope not.  :bleeding:

I mean, MBT/IDF is user-friendly enough.  I don't think GMT would make that kind of mistake in today's gaming market.
