Hello fellow gamers, After my girlfriend was surprised last night when I shouted "CRAP!!" into the phone (playing SPWAW while talking to her) when one of my T-34's was exploded by a StugIIIG, I thought of a little list that might indicate you are addicted to this game...not as if that is a bad thing, or even that a wargamer has any powers of resistance to this game, however. LOL. 1. You constantly refer to distances in # of hexes. 2. You refer to your house as a "single hex brick structure" 3. You can't remember your significant other's birthday to save your life, but you know the penetration values for a Panther G with AP ammo at 15 hexes. 4. You have calculated front, side, and rear armor values for your car/truck. 5. You are reluctant to drive into a dense urban area without "heavy infantry support" 6. When 9 of your friends are out somewhere, you invariably appoint a "squad leader." 7. You've mapped out your neighborhood in the map editor, and pre-registered your artillery on annoying neighbors' houses. 8. You can't go anywhere without assigning an "objective." 9. When asked "how's the weather?" you respond with "visibility 3, rain." Hope you liked those heheh. When digging through old posts, I found a thread about things people always say while playing. Here's mine: "Is everybody and their MOTHER shooting at me?" When a tank/AT gun scores a hit and the enemy vehicle explodes: "WOHOO!!" (while pumping fist up and down) After congratulating oneself after taking out 2 Tigers by a careful, multi-turn approach only to see another platoon of them come into view: "Geez, how many of these bastards do they HAVE?" When your 75% shot misses and the enemy kills you with a 8% shot, despite moving in the same turn: "WHAT THE HELL!!??"
Ciao,
