Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

[Elrood]

@wittmann:

@Private:

Yes - but them you’d miss being able to tell me where I went wrong! :-P

I would find a way!

That so much sounds like Credulous and me!!  8-)  :roll:

Just kidding. Is all fun and games!

[Witt]

Well, you are German and I am Italian, of course those English need a lesson in modern warfare. They think every battle  can be won with a Longbow!

[Elrood]

@wittmann:

Well, you are German and I am Italian, of course those English need a lesson in modern warfare. They think every battle  can be won with a Longbow!

Well this was somewhat later exchanged by: “give these colonial auxiliaries a gun and let em fight our war, while we enjoy this nice cuo o’earl grey”  :evil:

meanwhile in a kids birthday party in Germany:

[Private-Panic]

So what do the Italians think a battle can be won with? Is that based on any experience? :wink:

[Witt]

How did the shopping go, old man?

[Private-Panic]

Nearly all done, thanks witt. Some of us don’t leave these dreadful tasks to our other halves!

[Witt]

You ever seen Goodfellas? It is like that. She says she needs to go shopping and I ask how much does she need and she shows me, with her  hand.
I buy the food.

@Private:

Good one!  :lol:

I guess our Italian Wittmann would have to go back to the time when Rome defeated Carthage…  :wink:

Goodfellas was with large denomination notes, not small change!

Actually Rome defeated the rest of Italy first! :-D

[Credulous]

Sorry I’m being a bit rubbish at taking my go at the moment. Work is always manic in the run up to Christmas.

I got like 100+ marti emails today… with the 4 of us in adress line but seemed like a different game .

Whats going on?

[Witt]

Which game? Is it a Napoleon game or a 1940?

[Elrood]

Example email header:
36475:AI_Macedonia roll dice for 1 catapult and 1 warrior in Dodona, round 7

The number is from current thread, but catapult doesnt sound like napoleon nor 1940.  :roll:

[Witt]

Might have been AetV and me, playing Total Ancient War, but we finished 5 days ago.
Perhaps is not me.
Look in the Boardgames section and see who you know, who is playing Total Ancient War or 270BC.
Not me, I am convinced.
