Ah, Remembered!

Thank you, Agent S, I am. -- As all the old members knew, of course, I never claimed to be one of the better SC1 players, I just enjoyed posting and creating scenarios.

And my thanks to you too, battlevonwar. Probably I should have used my old screen name, as at the BF website, but I thought a fresh ID would be best here. Meanwhile I see most of our old friends from SC-1&2 have also changed their ID's at least a little; it will take a while to see who's who.

Also very happy to see some of my old friends using their old Battle Front identities; I'll probably change mine back.

-- There were so many people there that I liked in their own different ways that it would take too much space to write it all out right now, but probably someone will start a thread about the old days and I'll be more than happy to join in.


Hey JJ, JP Wagner from the old BF forums...as a fellow Jerzyite, I understand that you hightailed it out of Dodge (or was it Middletown?) ;)... regards

...and yes very psyched for this one.
(I'm hoping for the same hilarious smack talk and "locking up this thread" closures).
I generally only play a.i. but this one will be the exception.

The "squares" make for some fast paced action and along with the forced march feature, you can simulate those rapid envelopments the Germans first accomplished in Barbarossa.

Great job Al, scenarios in AoC are well balanced.

Well, I was one of the top 5 players of the original 2 titles. I would like to see if we could reunite some of these players and see if they would add their two cents on ideas and thoughts on the new title. Perhaps it will be nothing like the old games anyways, you know how things change.

1. Terif(all time unstoppable Strategic Commander)
2. Rambo tied with Liam(me) as two best Americans
3. Sombra and ZappSweden distant last and I won't include Dragonheart as he retired early along with some other greats but he was the only man to defeat Terif that I know of aside Avatar who came up with a quick cheat in the original SC1...

If anyone can make a more comprehensive list I would love to hear from you.

Oh, Bill-Hubert and Sea Monkey good to see you guys :P




Your top five doesn't include your ol' buddy Hellraiser... there is corruption everywhere... dedicated, hard working gamers like myself don't make it to top 5, ever :D

I was checking the web for news on the SC3 release date and stumbled upon this post...couldn't believe my eyes! The old SC1 and SC2 squad is alive and kicking ! It's been a long time guys, glad to see you again.
RIP to the valued SCers who passed away, though, so sad to hear it.

So, I guess we'll all go to war again soon, eh? ^^

Status: offline 		That's the thing with this game and it's players, Everybody felt like a top player at some point in time.
It's not about win or lose, it's how you win or lose!
I remember doing some crazy sh*t, forcing my opponents into surrender.
Terrif was the all time best, Rambo made a noticeable impression.
I never had the patience, always getting bored, not wanting a long drawn out war.

Example of craziness that brought opponents to their knees!

Disbanding the entire French fleet in order to purchase units in the defense of France.
Exploiting into the far reaches of Poland while declaring early war on Russia- before the surrender of France or poland.
Allies attacking the Low countries.
Having a French HQ and unit in Warsaw before the fall of Poland (against JJR)...that was the funniest.

That's what I loved about this game, doing things that have never been done, surprise, surprise, surprise! Victory was achieved against SC Top player, Give them the unexpected and they will fall!
Of course this was the early game (Strategic command).
The SC forum was great as well, never giving me a hard time for my improper spelling and bad (beyond bad) Grammar.

I've always loved these guys!

I've had SC1 since it came out but never had the internet then so missed on the rave so it seems. A friend and I battled over a couple of years, and I think I'd be worthy SC1 opponent if anyone wishes to challenge :)

A further theme on this insane move, was to invest all French mmp into air units, move them to UK then they would become free french after the surrender. Then disband them - free mmp for UK
The allied opponent invading the low countries only to thwart plunder was most annoying, as was invading Ireland to steal extra mmp!

Another gamy move which I do admit to, was if the USSR was ever in bad straights, to deploy the UK/US armies on the coast of france. The axis player can not afford to operate units west...)))

FC :)
