Orzel Bialy -> Welcome to the forum GB... (6/3/2002 7:32:11 AM)

It's always good to see new people get involved.

Jess is a real pro...so watch out for him. ;)
He has that "go for the throat" attitude when he fights. No mercy....as you can see, he has this terrible urge to kill me for some reason. :)

Anyway...welcome once more...look forward to the posts.

I feel we are contributing to another addiction, how can we stop it before he's/she's hooked for life.



gbotto600 -> (6/3/2002 9:17:30 AM)

lol, i can deal with this kind of addiction :) :D

maybe there will be a support group one day :D

gbotto600,

Get your butt over to the Hall of Fame, and look up 'Screen Names', then participate!;)

Jess, HE wanted to be Germany, let him! Shame on you.;)

Op fire is automatic in PBEM games, so carefully pick the ranges for your units, as they will fire on enemy units at the set range.

Goblin- A Goblin chides Jess:D



gbotto600 -> (6/3/2002 9:32:09 AM)

ok, i put in my screen name info ;)

as for nations to be, he can be Germany sure ;) but i want to be Italy (i hope we do early war, so i have a chance at good equipment :D ;) )

here come the Bersaglieri!! :D

:)

I stongly recommend not taking Italy. I played against them and they have nice equipment but they are terrible. They never rally and quite often just will not fire, or so my opponent told me. We had a meeting engagment between British and Italy which ended with a DV for me as the British after five turns!

So a word to the wise if you don't want to end up with a bad taste in your mouth take one of the major countries to start.



Orzel Bialy -> Italy in anything.... (6/4/2002 12:56:31 AM)

is like France of 1940 and Russia of 1939.
These countries have very poor morale (although Russia is not as bad...but still no match for Finns/Poles/Germans in 1939) and very hard to control.
Gary is also right in saying their combat factors leave a lot to be desired. For once they get hit hard and take surpression points... you will see them flee the scene rather than shoot back. :( And God help you when they go to routed status! :eek:
On the flip side...it is a challenge. :) Good luck.



gbotto600 -> (6/4/2002 1:54:21 AM)

hmm i was looking for a good early war game to start off with but if Jess wants to play some thing alittle later i'll be happy to play as Germany or Russia :):)
