widewing that was very touching... It was also the most long winded way I could imagine for someone to say that "yeah, I developed 2 games but don't bother to check cause my name won't appear on either one of em."

My fragile self esteem seems to be in little danger of having you shatter it.

Widewing:

Hmmmm .... I'm sure that Jack Greene would be surprised to discover that his game is based on your prior work that he never heard of.

As far as PanzerBlitz being AH's first hexagon based game: You're (not surprisingly) wrong.

Somehow I also doubt that you playtested PanzerBlitz.

Masher:

Nothing to be sorry about, you didn't really answer the question I had asked WW so was clarifying. Thanks anyway.

Ok class, you must setup up the bandit before the reversal. Now that we have learned that, watch how easily they slip in front of your guns...

I can see why you and Lazs get along so well, both of you being such accomplished condescending jerks. Who the hell do you little pipsqueaks think you are? Rude, nasty and visious, and without remorse. Typical online bully boys.. about as rough and tough as Barney Fife in person, yet, hiding behind their keyboards, bold as brass. So typical. Twist, distort, misrepresent what people write to suit your own perversions. Sad....

Quote: "As far as PanzerBlitz being AH's first hexagon based game: You're (not surprisingly) wrong."

Yeah, you're right, I was incorrect. Faulty memory. I'll bet that makes you want to puff out your beer belly and strut for all to see, doesn't it? I guess that makes you feel like a real man, huh? Yeah, you and Lazs, a couple of real he-men. (Pardon me while I stifle a wretch)

Now that I think about it, weren't Tactics II or Waterloo the first Hex based game? Or would you actually know?

Quote: "Somehow I also doubt that you playtested PanzerBlitz."

Do you honestly think I, or anyone else, gives a damn what you doubt? As far as I'm concerned, your opinion carries less weight than a gnat's fart.

The facts are, a member or friend of a member of the local wargaming club brought to a meeting at one member's home, what he said was a "pre-release" (or words to that effect) copy of the game. Everyone had an opportunity to play it over the course of several weeks. He also asked that we write down comments. That was about 33 or 34 years ago. Details of memory can be a bit vague. What were you doing 34 years ago?

As to your comment about Jack Greene: Clearly you must realize that wargaming (land and naval) has been going on for thousands of years. There have been countless systems and games developed, many resembling those most commonly seen today. For God's sake, there are have been and currently exist many clubs that develop their own unique rules and gameplay. Game companies make their money from people who don't wish to, or can't design their own. Some play with miniatures, some with counters. Indeed, some of the most interesting games were those designed by local clubs. Either way, your comment was remarkably obnoxious and equally cheeky.

You know, I may very well be a "pompous ass", but it appears that you and the Lazs monkey resent the competition.

Life's a squeak, ain't it?

This seems like an appropriate time to quote you:

Again, I apologize for being the amazinhunk you so accurately described.

Your self-assessment has merit. On this at least we can agree. You are a pompous condescending braggart and a liar. I particularly like the part about you helping design 2 games and not being able to remember the name of one. I would think anybody who has published a book or game or anything substantive would tend to save a copy. Even if they forgot the title they could just look at their copy to refresh their memory. Well at least you now have one post in this thread which does not celebrate your past illusory accomplishments.

If during WWII, there were computers that tracked every round fired by every shooter, every hit and damage, and tracked the status of all damaged enemy planes after the pilots lost sight of them, (basically AH's score system) would they have used it?

I bet they (all countries) would have.
They used the best and most accurate information that they had available. Why shouldn't we?

I've been reading this thread so long I forgot who supported the idea of awarding the kill as soon as "fatal damage" is done...
Here's the problem with awarding the kill as soon as "fatal damage" is done:

Imagine that you spawn on the runway, start your engine and then I vulch your wing off. Should I get a kill for this? You are not wounded, sitting on your own runway in a busted plane, ready to end the "flight", yet your death (or my kill) has already been awarded to me....? Now THAT would really suck!

A kill should only be awarded when a pilot: dies, bails or is captured. As it is now.

You "think anybody who has published a book or game or anything substantive would tend to save a copy."

That was your first mistake, thinking. Your second mistake was assuming that you had a clear view despite having your head stuffed firmly up your ass.

And yet..
you can lose a kill to someone that hit the enemy more then you and light up one of the world class most pompous whines of all time.

Wow Widemouth:

That's a very impressive display of chest-beating. Perhaps you should add it to your sig just in case we forget to be in awe of you.

I think pongo summed it up...

Look widemouth... all your accomplishments in life are fine.. Plenty of guys here have even more impressive lists and they seem to be handling their egos just fine.

Read your posts.. they are a mixture af braggart, pompous ahole, lies and condencending crap. Not only that but your ideas are half thought out and you show no special grasp of what happened in WWII and it's score system despite all your supposed exposure.
