Grotius -> Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 2:11:06 AM)

"Lt. Rutins" just showed up in my PBEM, flying a Brewster Buffalo (I think) in Malaya for my opponent. I don't think he shot down any of my Nates, but I don't think I shot him down, either. Maybe my opponent will track his career and write an AAR centered around him. "Little plane, big war," something like that. Anyway, I'll try to get him to divulge the whereabouts and health of the good lieutenant.

(For newcomers to the forum: Erik Rutins is one of the esteemed members of the Matrix Games team. I'm sure it's completely coincidental that his namesake is flying a fighter in AE. :) )



EUBanana -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 2:55:13 AM)

I've got a Grigsby and a Vebber in my game. Vebber is a scrub with 35 experience but Grigsby has a few kills in his Hurricane. [:D]



bradfordkay -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 3:53:39 AM)

You will see the names Rutins, Grigsby, Vebber, Brors, Schwanebeck and Heath consistently among the officers in this game. The name Dunnigan even shows up on a frequent basis! 



crsutton -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 4:25:55 AM)

Yes, it seems like every squadron I have has at least one Grigsby in it....[:D]



Rainer -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 12:43:46 PM)

I want Adms Don Bowen, Joe Wilkerson and Gen Andy Mac. Now!

I'm playing Japan, so I never get to see these guys unless they show up in air-to-air, as Lt. Rutins just did in my current PBEM. Unless maybe there's a Wilkersonomoto or something. :)



SireChaos -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 4:36:48 PM)

The Luftwaffe regrets to inform you that Major Eric Rutins of 1/813th Pathfinder was killed in action over Germany, 10/27/43. (in Bombing the Reich, that is)

You've already got one General called Mac. Are you sure you want another?

Some people do get worse jobs than others.

Well, one of the great things about war plan orange is that Tankerace allowed you to put up your name for as a ship's captain before the game was published. My named showed up as the captain of an armored crusier.




Rainer -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 10:28:24 PM)

You've got it all wrong!
Bowen and Wilkerson are Generals and Andy Mac is an Admiral.
I demand it the other way around.
And I don't want to be at Guam!
Wooooaaaaaaahhhhhhh[:@]



Rainer -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/25/2010 10:30:07 PM)

Unqualified YES.
Maybe I can trade in one for the other?[;)]
If I have sufficient PPs that is.


EDIT: Forgot my new fancy Sig Line (please see below).

I thought there were two... [&:]



moose1999 -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 8:46:55 AM)

This is just another monumental letdown from the AE team.
A horrible sacrifice of realism.
I'm never gonna play this game again.

(Translation: I want to be an admiral too!!!)



maikarant -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 10:37:26 AM)

Which of course means that devs are all on my team!

Rainer -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 4:25:19 PM)

But not the customers.
Game's BROKEN period.
[:D]



Rainer -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 5:45:55 PM)

MacArthur R.P. LCdr
MacDonald T. LTJG
MacEwan K.A. FLT
and about dwo dozen more.
Want Fries with your Macs?[:D]



Nikademus -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 5:47:26 PM)

No Grand Admiral Nik???? [:(]



Rainer -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 5:52:00 PM)

Why not?
But Admiral of the Fleet, please [;)]



EDIT: Let's stop this now, otherwise people may think I merely want to drive up my number of posts.
That's not want I'm after. I just want to be an Admiral [:'(]
And not on Guam in 1942.



Grotius -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/27/2010 7:00:34 PM)

So maikarant, Lt. Rutins is your airman, not mine. Is he still alive after his most recent tangle with my Zeroes? Enquiring minds want to know!



maikarant -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (1/28/2010 10:18:38 PM)

Dear adversary,

I have instructed my staff to find all Messrs. Rutins in our flying cadres. They returned with a whole bunch of them files. Let's see:

Maj. D. Rutins flies a P-40B at Pearl Harbor, 15th Pursuit Group / 47th Squadron.
Cpt. F. Rutins flies a P-36 Mohawk at Anchorage,
Lt. G. Rutins serves at Ft. Ord flying O-49s, his twin
Lt. G. Rutins flies a DC2 at Kunming for CNAC,
Cpt. K. Rutins drives a B-17 from Pearl for the 19th BG and finally
Cpt. L. Rutins is happily flying a P-40E for the 35th PG based in Manila.

They are all still enjoying their good health and prosperous life. As of now, only Cpt. L. flew one combat mission. Maybe that's why. :) So I am starting to wonder who it was you saw flying over Malaya.



Reg -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (2/7/2010 6:32:57 AM)


Isn't LT a USN or IJN rank abbreviation which means a Lt. Rutins is unlikely to be flying a Buffalo over Malaya (No Eagle squadrons here). Commonwealth pilots are FLT.

Also if he's been shot down and has less than ? kills, isn't he just dropped from the database?






Ron Saueracker -> RE: Lt. Rutins! (2/7/2010 6:47:17 AM)

In the old Uncommon Valour "Saueracker" showed up as a leader. Oooops, since being a bit of a critic/contributor/tester in WITP after UV, my pedigree abruptly died.[:(]
