geofflambert -> Someone left the cake out in the rain (4/2/2021 10:15:38 AM)
I thought I'd begin a service where we all can store the great names we think up for AARs that we may or may not ever get the chance to use. I mean, that's the whole reason we play this game, isn't it? We start a campaign game with someone so we can start an AAR for it that we can give a great name to. But what if we think up a great name but never get the chance to use it? This way we can think up the name, place it here for storage so we won't forget, or maybe someone else can use it instead of the lame name they come up with on their own. So here's my first entry, and hopefully not the last: Someone Left The Cake Out In The Rain

Good idea lizard boy. I honor of the new Godzilla vs King Kong movie, how about; Godzilla vs King Kong. Or vis versa...GP

Is the Gorn planning to do an AAR someday? Whether he is or not, this thread is a good idea. For a year now, I've known the title for my next match vs. John III. How Much Does a Sub Weigh?

If I had a PBEM with another player I am sure it would be appropriate to call it "That Sinking Feeling ....[sm=Crazy-1271.gif]"

<grin> An excellent idea for a thread. I think my next title shall be "Disregarding the Sleeping Giant - (J) Durnedwolf VS (A) Sombody's Handle"

If any one on here starts trying to sing like Richard Harris....................... "I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to make it..." will receive no sympathy those of us playing this game for the last three decades or so.

AAR #2: "Turns out the fighters were dropping tanks from their wings," with a rare example from the Ostfront...of perhaps a parachuted StuG from the Fallschirm-Panzer-Division 1. Hermann Goering? [image]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DKVvUzzW0AAqmOc.jpg[/image]

Sometimes also known as an assault gun.

You try finding a real picture of an actual tank with a parachute! [:-] AAR#3: "Can't believe we're StuG in this theatre without Panthers..."

BBfanboy -> RE: Someone left the cake out in the rain (6/5/2021 1:57:44 AM)
That vehicle is camouflaged - it was either already there when the parachute came down or came afterward - like at Arnhem. I did air drops of graders and bulldozers and I can tell you that parachute is wayyyyy too small for the job. Also, weren't the air transportable vehicles mostly carried on gliders, rather than air dropped? We had to put about three feet of honeycomb cardboard under the vehicles we dropped to keep the engine from tearing loose and the tires from collapsing.

The picture caption mentions a British parachute in front of a StuG, but it was the only way I could fuel my dumb drop tank pun. Phew, tough crowd here...
