I don't have time to read all Sandra Brown series of novels, but looks like nothing new !  Zazen bashing bish style of playing, and just trying to compensate and hide his shy and gutless  style of playing : hiding in field gun mostly, some safe mode BZ once in a while and 6 years of whines without growing.
 If all the rooks would fight so brave,the map would  reset every 30 min.

Coming from the sovereign Lord of the milk-horde queens in his super-sonic 262/163 I take this as the highest possible compliment ...

Oh, and by the way, I suppose you missed the part where I said, "Bishops have mastered the most efficient way to "win the war". That's a far cry from bashing Bishops.

Kumbaya, mi lord!

To be honest it`s a little much to read and quite lengthy,I`d bet alot of guys have no idea what half those words even mean. I wonder about a few but get the idea 

Yup, I am not writing for the unwashed masses necessarily. I am trying to appeal to people that like to intelligently debate the nuanced abstracts of our game. Not fling poo like a few sour grapes who's exposed nerves have been struck are starting to do in this thread now...

I have a sneaking suspicion this thread is about to be "milk-horded" by the same folks that do so in the MA, a call to arms must have been sent. The ring-leaders have already started to show up, the plebes will surely follow in short order...

Bish have better overall squads that work pretty well together in all aspects of the game.

If by "better" you mean "bigger" then yes you're 100% correct...

"Quantity has a quality all its own.."

let me recap this thread "KNIGHT 4 T W, W3 R TEH 1337"

All "countries" have excellent squads. I have been Bishop most of my time here so my perspective is a bit narrow, but most Bishop squads are indeed good, and believe in all around fun above all else. That's what the core of the game is in its many forms.

IKE:  "Orderly, Take a message"

Orderly:  "Yes Sir...to whom do you want it sent, sir?"

IKE:  "Adolph Hitler, Leader of the Third Reich"

Orderly:  "Yes sir, go ahead sir"



IKE:  

"Dear Adolf:

How's Trix?  Sorry to hear about the gas...I was going to have the 8th Air Force drop you some Bean-o, but I was afraid you wouldn't accept it.  Still sore about the Jessie Owens thing, huh?  Well, you'll get over it.

I just wanted you to know that the Allied forces under my command will commence "THE" invasion of Europe, with Allied forces from a number of countries, both Allied and currently occupied in three days hence.  Even sooner..on the 5th...if the weather holds, but definitely by the 6th.

We've left all of your radar installations up so you can see us coming, because we love a good fight and don't need the element of surprise. Yeah, I learned all about the importance element of surprise as a tactic in OTS, but--awww, I'd be lame for using it with all these troops I have.  We'll be parking about 5,000 ships in the channel off Normandy, between Ouirestreham and Les Rivieres, and dropping paratroopers the night before to secure those strategic targets in the rear areas you don't think we know about.

We were going to knock out the strategic targets in the area, like train bridges, troop concentrations, ammo dumps, and fuel dumps, but that would be lame.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know well in advance so you could throw up every recource you could and possibly totally mess up our objective because I thought it was only fair, and I'd be lame for not doing so.

Have a great day!  Hug Eva for me!  

Tell Goering I said hey, and to lay off the double-cheeseburgers!  


Hugs & kisses, IKE

Dwight David Eisenhower, US Forces, Europe, Commanding"



IKE"  "How's that sound?"


Orderly:  "Sounds great sir, do you want me to read it back to you, sir?"

IKE:  "No....I've...well...let me look at that son"

(Orderly hands Ike hand written note. Ike re-reads carefully)

Orderly:  "Do you want this sent over open channels, Sir?"

(Eisenhower keeps reading, then rubs his head, then puts his hat back on)

Orderly:  "Sir?"


IKE:  "Naw....throw this in the fire son....

Note to all commanders...We're doing this one.....NOE".

lame.

as Hitech has said, this is a game, not war.

I'm curious about the above Hitech statement. 

If its not a war, then why does the text buffer say "you have won the war" when you retain 90% of your own bases and capture 40% of the other two countries (chess pieces) bases?

Just a thought...

The second we start really dying, it will become a war.  Until then, and as long as we get unlimited lives, planes and have choices as to how we play, it will remain a game.

Trying to tie in actual war to this, is really just silly

In the end, there is only one king in the game, and thats HTC.  The rest of us are just pawns that get to have fun within the framework of the game presented to us by HTC

Slow day at work, so I got curious again.  Looked up the definition of war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War), also checked Webster's Dictionary.  Nothing in the definition about killing or dying.  Actually the definition actually reflects what goes on in Aces High everyday.

Way tooooo much time on my hands....

"War is any large scale, violent conflict."
Aces High is hardly large scale or violent.
