Looks very much like part of the first Squad Leader map board, but not sure what the 20 sided die is for. 

Wait, that was a trick, right?  You were checking to see if I actually looked at the game or not, weren't you?  [:'(]

It's two map 1's but the other two are one of the new maps I don't remember as well. I played a lot more of the original series than ASL.




USSAmerica -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/12/2011 10:09:22 PM)

I only ever played the original series....no ASL.

Doing a Boef Bourguignon with Julia Child's recipe. Don't gots no Brandy in the house, so am using a Pussers caramel rum instead. Hope it works ok.

Found out my backyard bike riding buddy is a pilot too. How sweet is that? Gonna talk about going in on a Cessna or a Piper, maybe. Gotta get him well oiled and satisfied. These FBI guys can be had; his wife is one of the stonest foxes I've ever seen, so that won't work; but maybe a good dinner, a bottle of Caymus, some snake oil, ooohh maybe, maybe. Keep them fingers crossed.



Ouch... any dry red wine would have worked much better. After all, Boeuf Bourguignon is "Burgundy Beef". I have no idea as to why Julia Childs uses brandy.

By the time Avalon Hill went under, you could play just about any small unit action of WW2 if you had all the expansions (which I do, but haven't pulled it out in a decade at least).

There is such a following for ASL that a group of fans put together a company (MultiMan Publishing) to purchase the rights to the game from Hasbro. Of couse, it helps that Curt Schilling is one of those fans who formed the company.

Cognac often serves to add a little kick to many French and some Spanish dishes. I generally use Beaujolais , but will occasionally throw in a little cognac. (I do the same thing in my Sangria recipe--Cognac makes everything taste better!)[:D]

I certainly can't imagine Julia making anything but a solid red as the basis for that recipe. I assumed that the brandy was a late add for acidity and punch.

I can vouch for Steve's sangria recipe, having been the fortunate recipient of his hospitality. It's first rate! [sm=00000436.gif]

Hooo, boy...

Apparently someone at Lucasfilm didn't do their homework on proper markings of German fighters flying over Western Europe. In the trailers we have a bunch of Bf-109s and Me-262s adorned with a hodgepodge of Battle of Britain, Balkan, and Russian front paints and markings.

...and what's up with that one 109 that's marked with both the Gruppe Kommodore double-chevron and the Staffelkapitan no. 1 ( <<1 )? The Group Chief of Staff would get a single chevron followed by the no.1 ( <1 ), but not the double.

...and what of that yellow stripe with the swastika on the vertical stabilizer? Show me a single aircraft in the entire Luftwaffe that used that marking in the war. Yes, pre-war there was the red stripe with the swastika in a white circle painted on the stabilizer. Pre-war.

...then we see that stupid spin-aircraft-180+degrees-and-shoot-guy-down-behind-you move that the History Channel so graciously dumped on an unsuspecting public in one of their "Dogfights!" episodes.

This is as bad as Michael Bay using Imperial Japanese Army green on the Zeros attacking Pearl Harbor instead of the Imperial Navy white that they actually were, all while Vals and Kates were bombing and torpedoing Knox Class frigates and Kidd Class destroyers (I think they were Kidds. Navy dudes, correct me on this if otherwise.).

My God. I could go on for hours.

Why is George Lucas even allowed to make movies after he managed to categorically feck up the Star Wars franchise with Episodes I-III?

Yeah... This is gonna be good.

Idiots. [sm=nono.gif]

I hate to say this, but:

I told you so!




BrucePowers -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/13/2011 9:12:28 PM)

Lucas gets to make movies because he uses his own money to make them.




BrucePowers -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/13/2011 9:16:00 PM)

The average person will not notice the things you have. CG graphics is the way it will be done. There are not enough B-17s, P51s and ME-109s to make a movie anymore. This is not like the 1960s Battle of Britain. Don't go to the movie. I, however, suspect it will make money.

Bruce, I have absolutely nothing against CGI - IMHO this is great and fantastic tool to create stunning movies!

But why they always make the CGI unrealistic and unhistorical?

With little help from proper people CGI scenes would be both nice looking and realistic - is that too much to ask?


Leo "Apollo11"


P.S.
The "Battleship" movie will cost 200.000.000 US$ - are they crazy!?!?! [X(]




BrucePowers -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (11/13/2011 9:30:05 PM)

I see what you are saying, but people want spectacular these days. George Lucas has said many times he doesn't do "art" films, he does Saturday afternoon matinees. Just try and take the entertainment value. I know just from the trailer a lot of what is shown is aerodynamically impossible. However, as myth busters have shown us many times, most of the special effects from Hollywood are not what happens in real life. As an engineer, I have said on a number of occasions, "That's not possible." My wife tells me to shut up and enjoy the movie.

Every time I hear an explosion in a space movie I go, "You can't hear a boom in a vacuum".[:D]
