Post by: JB42 on March 03, 2003, 12:52:42 PM: need shore batteries

Post by: brady on March 03, 2003, 03:54:40 PM: We can not add Shore batries to the map only the MAp Maker can do that, the Ports and some bases have Shore batries. Part of the problem is that a couple of those bases in the agean have the ships spawning so close to them that even if they are sunk they just reapear. Frankely I would just let them have them and go fight else whear.

Remember, the art of diplomacy involves telling someone they're full of it, and make them think it's a compliment;). While this set up is a bit of a "what if" scenario, we still try to give at least a head-nod to history. At this time in the war, there wasn't much of a German/Italian naval presence in the Med, at least not one that involved ships bigger than a destroyer.

Post by: Arlo on March 04, 2003, 12:28:28 PM: Ok ... my take on the setup. This ain't the MA where everything has to have perfect parity. Some may see this as a challenge. I bet them checkerbutts would love to see a situation like this reversed. Then they could see how efficiently they could capture a port then sink a fleet, thereby depriving the enema of a fleet (pardon the pun). I bet they could do it. ;)

sorry arlo, but in this particular setup, you're talking out your ass.

Post by: Dennis on March 04, 2003, 04:22:11 PM: 'K
Maybe I'm missing something. Is it not possible in this setup to sink the allies' fleets & capture the port(s) at which they're based?

I know some people who are quite good at this sort of thing.

Post by: Arlo on March 04, 2003, 04:54:08 PM: BS, amigo. The allies have reset how many times now? It's a whine. Waaaa ... can't sink their fleets all by myself without my own fleet or shore batt .... waaaaaa.

Pavlovian reflex sets in - gotta sink the fleet - GOTTA SINK THEIR FLEET! *pant pant*

Big deal. Do something else or try to get others to help ya capture their port and sink the fleet. :D

Post by: Arlo on March 04, 2003, 05:28:10 PM: Ok, Shanester ... what "point" am I missing here? Explain it to me so I can see this isn't a whine at all but a logical suggestion that turns this terrain and set from a "flop" to a "winner". ;)

Post by: Grissom on March 04, 2003, 07:05:58 PM: Arlo accuses me of hijacking another thread earlier. Now here he and 10bearrs are doing exactly that same thing.

Makes you wonder when the moderators are going to step in and lock it down, if at all.

Thanks Dennis and Sabre for your input. I'll remove my earlier posts so the real whiners Arlo and 10Bears can continue to thrash away. Stirring their pot of ill will for all to see.

Oh and the why don't I create my own map? In your vernacular: Gimme a break duded! I only been in game about a month!

Post by: 10Bears on March 04, 2003, 07:43:34 PM: Take a deep breath Gris..

I'm sorry if I hijacked your thread.... What ever you want fixed will get fixed.. I'm taking note of any misplaced spawn points or art flaws.. they'll all get looked at ..

Relax..

I learned a long long time ago not to take all this little stuff.. planes.. who flys what.. who's a better pilot than who.. all that seriously..

What I said to you just now in the arena.. "The whole thing is entertainment"... is a true statement... That must of pissed you off!..

Have a beer...

You see these guys on the board here chuckin' and jivin'.. playing pattycake... It's all in jest..

For real deal Sceniaros.. (which you should sign up for).. you will see we are kind've a bit more serious.. Shane and Arlo will fly side by side..

Now Tardling, git back up there... fly luff... there're coming.. it's Tuesday that means we're havin' chickenturds for din din..

You guys would love it here in Asia. Chicken guts deep cooked in sesame oil - quite delicious :D

The way we Asians see it, you western guys eat all the wrong parts of cows, chickens and pigs :D

Post by: JB42 on March 04, 2003, 08:52:10 PM: The fact still remains, there is no viable way to rid the allies of their fleet. When fully 2/3s of 24 allied pilots are luanching from the fleet, Ju88s, Ju87s and 110s are not a viable option.

A cruiser group would be nice :D
Title: Give us something
Post by: Arlo on March 04, 2003, 10:03:25 PM: While they're all (or 2/3) upping from the fleet - concentrate on capturing the port. Then sink the fleet. Them there Stukas be quite effective at sinkin' them there ships. I'm the world's worst bomber pile-it and I sunk a cruiser on my first try. I'm sure the carrier can be sunk just as easily. Once it's gone the fleet will be forced to respawn in ten minutes. What happens when a fleet respawns from a captured port?

All sounds fun to me. :D
