XDAP-01 Creature Commandos (Axis) vs. Team BoldDutch (Allies)

haha, no objections to the rant, seems pretty spot on from my experiences.

As a younger man I visited Europe… and spent a day in france.

A lady ordered a meal at McDonalds for herself, AND her dog.

Then the Dog ate with her sitting at the table…

…

How much are you club memberships? :)

I’m embarrassed to be playing this game with such a bunch of vile racists / bigots. Seriously.

LOL.

Then rise up and defeat them! I support your cause!

Germany is up, Russia is standing by!  :lol:

well i feel sorry for you duch at least we have the english channel

with you been in that stupid thing called euro thay can just walk in and insult you and you lot paying for them all to stop working at 55 years maybe if all you started eating frogs and snail thay mite all starve to death just joking about eating frogs legs and snails  :-D

I’m not French; but I do oppose bigotry on principle.

All the same, I do realize that this game can encourage people to make remarks of a natonalist character, myself included.

I try to limit my remarks to the historical performance of the appropriate nation during the war, as that at least is grounded in facts, rather than impressions.

For example, I will curse the Italians blue when they under-perform on a particular dice roll, and say “Well, that’s just what you’d expect, isn’t it?”

But that’s not an indictment on the national character of Italy, it’s merely a comment on the poor performance / motivation of their troops under fascist rule, to which many of them were opposed.

You might even say that the passive resistance of the rank-and-file troops was an important element in ‘monkey-wrenching’ the Italian war machine, which is overall a good thing, historically.

But we’re getting too far afield now – my earlier indignance was brought on by a very different type of comment.

So let’s play a clean game from here on in, no hits below the belt, no more racist slurs etc., yeah?

I’ll put my G9 move in tomorrow sometime.

hmmm, looks like the russian exit from kiangsi turned into quite the deathtrap…  :-o

Perhaps this is a tad hasty, but…

Regrets:

(1) Not reducing the USSR infantry stack with Japan when she was potent, Mongolian bonus be damned.

(2) Relying on blind luck in Eastern Poland to preserve the German panzer stack, rather than taking the more cautious, patient route.

(3) Not doing more to help Italy become more than a third-world military power.

The rest is down to bad dice, and solid play from our opponents…

I’ll be in my bunker if anybody needs me.

Is yhat your concession speech MIR, or are we continuing?
