Subscriptions

[Yarbles]

No Offence but I have known Zack since he was artistic director of the Moore Marriott society. I was junior deputy vice president at the time and even then he had a reputation as a bit of an after dinner speaker.

I hope that clears things up better than the penicillin did.

Afternoon dinner speeches were my forte.
I always ended by allowing my trousers to fall down

I know you 

I would introduce you, you stood up, your trousers fell down. Comedy gold in the great music hall tradition. Standing room only

Woolen combination and gaiters.

You would point at the gaiters and say "With these apples Mrs could be a rat up a drainpipe"

It was your trademark and nowadays would make a cheeky tee shirt slogan.

£180 for a television liscence and its all repeats 

Nothing on the wireless either 

If you put a pound down then it was only half a crowne a week and if you missed one you could make it up the following week in powdered egg.

Yes

Anyway we was all daaan in the shelter and dad says. If you "ruined my tea" to mother "I will give you a claaaat round the ear ole"

Mum says "steady on Ernie, Jerry is paaaaanding us tonight". (It was a big raid, even their majesties took one in the greenhouse)

So there it is is 

And that is how it is done.

I still think this used to be the best thing ever !! Thinking of getting back into this but I am wondering how many paid subscriptions there are ? In my day it was close to 5000. How about now ?

Respect to the creators I hope it is not dieing form neglect 

A whole lot less than that.

I would guess there is between 500 and 800 subscribers still.

That is totally rock and also roll. The more recent games with the eye candy don't have those kind of numbers and need very high end graphics cards. I am going to put my enormous weight behind this again and hope 

I think the flight model here is the best and if we don't have the eye candy we do have the real people on the other end to piss off which is the game

If there is one thing I would change about AH is I would make it Axis v Allies in the MA but I am sure there is a reason why not.

There is the game aspect but also the re enactment aspect for us older fellas and that is a big part of scenario.  Cliffs Il2 and DFS Normandy are no where near as good as AH but they do have history to get excited about.

I know we have A v A but in my ideal world we would have AVA rolling  WW2 through the month. Get early month WW2 B OF B, Then Pearl Harbor, Midway etc up to Bombing Germany and Japan and release the maps and aircraft etc

Unlikely but fun xx

You smell of wee

Caught again

There's going to be a few more soon.  I expect to be back within a month or sooner if work slows down enough to play with my new computer.
I'll be coming back with Jarbo, his next door neighbor and one of my childhood friends who's into DCS & expensive game controllers already.

Note this painting demonstrates the Gestalt principle that the whole is greater than some of its part constructed of meaningless pixels.

Zack will now disprove that by demonstrating he is considerably less than the sum of his parts in their unique grotesque configuration 

Personally lets get back in, pay our subs and give high tech a decent pension fund 

What do they do in Texas ?

 When my daughter was growing up I could have a good night in as sociable as a night out without a baby sitter. Arguing the toss on here. If I could get the sprog to bed and the Mrs to go out and moan to her women chums about how I liked to spend all my time playing silly computer games. Meanwhile I was at home drinking beer and winning world war 2 single handed.  Priceless   

Those of us who had a PC at work and very little to do could carry on arguing about what happened the night before or the result of some particular duel fought for months on end with threads running to hundreds of pages. All for about $15 a month and ex players could fight the forum wars for nothing having not played for years but still working through some slight or disagreement that had stuck in their metaphorical craw.

High tech etc would periodically impose discipline and then that would give rise to highly emotional debate on the rights of man and abuses of power.  It was Brilliant and surely allot more than the sum of a video game and some forumns. Hence the painting.

If it were that good then where have you been for t'last eight years, flying rubber dog turds out of Hong Kong in a DCS Transavia Airtruk with a My Little Pony paint job?

Hark at 'im with his fangled Southern ways dropping in and trying to organise everyone all of a sudden with no inclin' of the three forum World Wars he's missed since. We've all got PTSD. Zack hasn't been in t'clink, he's been in the mental ward dying from persistant laughing syndrome after the ICOM rabble didn't like being told to 'Read a book, fatty'. I had to bust him out like Murdock from the A team.

Send me a Cornish Pasty Yarbles, I haven't had one in two decades. Otherwise get stuffed!

I missed you to 

I am glad you are back 

I was watching the Walking dead and in the end they said "we are all Neegan"

I suggest from now on we are all "Yarbles"

Brilliant eh

Scenario starts Saturday.  British 2nd Tactical Air Force vs. The Jerries.  We will have the gorgeous Spitfire, the mighty Typhoon, and the Wooden Wonder.

The big question:  will we have some pilots with real British accents on the allied side?  The difficulty to overcome:  it starts at 7 pm US Eastern time, which is 11:59 pm London time on Saturday.
