Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

@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!

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!

@wittmann:

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:

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

How did the shopping go, old man?

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

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.

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

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

Whats going on?

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

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:

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.
