Vitreum -> Mango Breeder vs. Vitreum (5/18/2002 11:58:30 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...... "It Is A Good Day To Die..."

Orzel Bialy -> just a hint... (5/18/2002 12:58:07 PM)
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! :D :D :D Other than that...Fight on gentlemen. We all look forward to reading your dispatches.

Vitreum -> (5/18/2002 9:40:19 PM)
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.

Goblin -> (5/18/2002 9:54:10 PM)
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

Goblin -> (5/19/2002 12:01:25 AM)
PS- See 'Never Thought of That..." by Belisarius in the Training Center forum. All about reinforcements. Goblin- A Goblin adds something

Vitreum -> (5/19/2002 12:28:21 AM)
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

Goblin -> (5/19/2002 12:42:51 AM)
"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;)

Vitreum -> (5/19/2002 1:52:54 AM)
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??

nelmsm1 -> (5/19/2002 2:25:11 AM)
I just got a turn from Mangobreeder so you should be hearing from him shortly.

Mangobreeder -> (5/19/2002 2:38:11 AM)
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

Vitreum -> (5/19/2002 3:30:10 AM)
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??

Goblin -> (5/19/2002 3:37:22 AM)
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 -> (5/19/2002 3:40:47 AM)
Bad for me? ahhhh I knew it...

Goblin -> (5/19/2002 3:46:49 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 -> (5/19/2002 3:55:30 AM)

Mangobreeder -> (5/19/2002 3:57:03 AM)
Goblin you breed mangoes with a whole lot of love

Goblin -> (5/19/2002 3:58:39 AM)
Do you have to get a mango drunk first, or just tell it you love it?!;) :eek: Goblin- A Goblin thinks it sweet:p

Mangobreeder -> (5/19/2002 4:00:24 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 -> (5/19/2002 4:03:45 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

Mangobreeder -> (5/19/2002 4:06:38 AM)
ill go there now

Vitreum -> (5/19/2002 10:38:39 AM)
Boy this thread went a wee bit astray!!! Goblin- Thinkin' about switchin species?!?!?!? Okay.... I see halftracks and 1...no make that 2 Panther G tanks to the North. still about 27 hexes away from their doom... Took a pot shot and KLUNK! DOH! Just a hit on the turret. But a hit none the less. Is is damaged? Can it rotate? Can it shoot? Time will tell. Meanwhile, Downtown Metropolis.... A parade has started down the main road... 1 Panther G. 1 Jegdtiger.....Grrrrr. Seems the Panther crew needs glasses... 3 or 4 shots to my watchful T-34 down a lonely road head on and....WHOOPS! I slip away into the woods. shaken...but alive...Whew.... Who shall delight in the first blood? Stay Tuned... Goblin - A Goblin needs to break away from the war and get some action!

Orzel Bialy -> WOW...What's Going on in this Thread? (5/19/2002 11:50:11 AM)
Hmmm, looked in to see how this battle was going and got lost by some of these posts! :eek: Had to check to see if I was in the right forum or not.:p Thought to myself "When did Matrixgames set up a "hot line?" :D

Goblin -> (5/19/2002 11:58:51 AM)
Ok, ok, I'm sorry for sidetracking it already!;) Goblin- A Goblin takes a hint

Mangobreeder -> (5/19/2002 4:02:17 PM)
Oh yeah ! almost forgot this was a battle report. shame on you goblin for side tracking. Anyway. My lone sniper recon spotted a section of tanks a number of T34's and a number of bigger ones. Sent a panther to investigate and BINGO 1 dead T34. First blood. Although the tank ws left in a vurnable position, its scarfice will be towards the greater good. All i have to do now is how goblin does not try and side track us again :) Mango

Vitreum -> (5/20/2002 2:22:09 AM)
Okay. Actually shots being fired now. Metropolis in the middle. a dead T-34. A vulnerable crew. A desparate rally AND.... A failed assault against the Panther G and a dead crew... A probe by another T-34..Panther fires..miss T-34 fires...Miss Panther fires....HIT..Damaged.. T-34 fires...Hit.. Damaged.... Both tanks standing off...AT 2 HEXES!!! Come On?!?!?! Engineer squad in for a look at the damaged Panther...shot at and hit they back off to a hex next to ANOTHER PANTHER!! WOOHOO! This one is retreating for some reason???? An Cocky Ivan tank commander pulls in with the Engineer squad and makes short work of the panther....out of the LOS of any one else...easy kill...too easy. Jegdtiger still sitting in the same spot as before....immobilized??? Up North...Infantry probe sees 2 more Panther G tanks. ( 0% down, 0% financing sale in Berlin????) Went for a side shot with a T-34, and BOOM! Dead T-34. Also spotted a couple of King Tigers coming in from the west. Thats it for now... T-34 - A T-34 fires no smoke.....oops....

Mangobreeder -> (5/20/2002 3:10:01 AM)
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD TANK TANKS TANKS within 1 hex of each other, this wasnt in my tiger tank manual. thick armour facing emeny sit and pray!!!! although my mighty panther tank parked on a hill killed 3 tank feebely attempting to oust them from their position. Long live the furher... (i want brits next game, being british it feel weith being the germans)

Vitreum -> (5/20/2002 5:02:56 AM)
RE: Brits - No problem, take who you want. This turn Was weird. Could not knock out the Jegdtiger with my heavy tank, so I backed off. Hope I can Reinforce Metropolis soon.... Took out the first Panther with a T-34...whew. Way up north, 2 German Halftracks burning and 1 with no treads. 2 retreating squads. 1 routed squad...they did not like their halftracks blowing up. Mid map - another Panther in the trees. He fired at a T-34, going in closer for a routed Flammpanzer, missed, The T-34 backs up, and Kills the Flammpanzer from 2 hexes away instead of 1. Luck. Give that driver a medal. Pulled a stupid move with hasty mouse clicking and sent an FO RIGHT UP TO THE FRONT LINES !!! Two Panthers scrambled to destroy it, and missed. So it gets to live for another half a turn. So, (4) T-34 Dead and (1) Panther and (1) Flammpanzer.
