Dude, I can probably help you out with these items:
Tiger I
FlakPanzer IV Wirbelwind
Elite Panzer IV Ausf. D
Vet. Tiger
Sturmpanzer IV Brummbar
SS Panzer IV Ausf. F2
I don’t know how many of each you’ll need, but lemme know and I’ll quote you a price. :wink:
DL, I know that you’re the man as far as scenario development goes, so please keep us informed of anything of interest that you come up with…
I’m gonna have to join my local store’s A&A club - the owner has been talking to me about such events. (although I don’t think he’s mentioned using 20-25 map tiles, or fielding 5000+ points of forces :-D) Anyway, as soon as I get my bins of units back in my possession, I shall become more of a regular at these things. :wink:
I personally would not object to my opponent checking out my cards in detail; the only thing I would say that you HAVE to do is tell him/her each unit’s build point values, so they can add them up and see that your army is not too large…
It seems everyone is going with serious “advice” kind of quotes, so here’s one a buddy of mine told me:
“The minimum would not be the minimum if it wasn’t good enough.”
You’re right in saying that non-mountain hexes do not block LOS too. I wasn’t thinking about forested mountains though; maybe they should further improve units’ “stealth” by making them only able to be attacked at short range?
Thanks for the input DL. It seems you are the scenario guru, so I’m glad to have heard something from you. I’ll letcha know when I make the maps, and include pictures. :wink:
A buddy of mine went to a security training facility, where he says they used real guns that were capable of firing real bullets, but instead they were using rounds made of lipstick, or something like that.
I thought that sounded pretty cool, because it gives an authentic feel, but obviously you’re not killing/wounding anyone. :wink:
Wow man, you really weren’t joking about using ONLY German units. Yeah, just hit me up and I’ll letcha know what I’ve got for you.
That’s a decent grade. Do you have any suggestions/criticism?
“You’re so money and you don’t even know it!”
“I f***in’ hate that guy. If he was drowning and needed my help, I’d throw him a cinder-block.”
“You know that show Pimp my Ride? Well you need to be on the show Pimp my Life.”
I know this thread has come up before, but has anyone ever heard a family member or a friend or anyone saying something that just stuck with you? It can be for humorous reasons, deep reasons, or whatever other reason…
I was thinking of making my own maptiles, and incorporating mountains into them. I think they should have the following effects:
1. Soldiers (non-artillery) can only move into mountains during the move phase, and if they do, then they cannot move OR attack in the assault phase.
2. Mountains are double movement cost for artillery. If an artillery piece only has one movement point left in it’s relocation, it cannot move into the mountains. If an artillery piece has “Large” under it’s abilities, it cannot enter mountains at all, unless along a road.
3. All soldiers gain cover and can only be attacked from medium range or closer while in mountains.
4. Vehicles cannot enter mountains at all, unless along a road. Vehicles do not gain cover while in mountains.
Whaddya think? A little far-fetched? :|
“He who learns only from himself has a fool for a master.”
So, when is the new set coming out? I have not heard anything, but then again, I’ve been underway for about two weeks, so… :wink:
I like that quote! I feel like that is the point-of-view that the Navy uses sometimes to prod it’s people along. But all sailor pessimism aside, I do think it is a very valid way to put it. 8-)
It all depends on your circumstances. Some cases are universal, such as getting married and/or having kids, but other cases are based on your situation at the time.
For example, some important (as far as pivotal) decisions that I have made would be, in this order:
Not trying very hard in school
Moving to New Mexico
Smoking pot
Moving back to Pittsburgh
Joining the Navy
All those are the most influential events/time periods I can think of that have shaped who I am today. I haven’t yet gotten married, nor do I have any kids (that I know of) but those will definitely add to the list. :-)
Alright, here goes.
Let’s assume for a moment that the briefcase does contain Marsellus’ soul. The combination for the briefcase is: 666. Perhaps the Devil took Marsellus’ soul (possibly from the back of his neck, hence the band-aid that Jermo mentioned) and placed it into a briefcase. Tony gets a hold of it and passes it along. Marsellus finds out that Tony has something of value to him (an understatement) and tosses him out of a window. The fact that Tony can’t speak properly anymore is the Devil’s way of literally keeping his mouth shut.
And speaking of souls and how beautiful they are, it is likely that Marsellus’ soul is not that beautiful. But maybe his soul actually is beautiful, meaning that he is actually a good guy, and he just needs it back, so that he won’t be an a$$hole anymore. When Butch goes to the apartment to get his watch, he shoots and kills Vincent. After leaving, he runs into Marsellus (with his car) and they end up fighting. But, after Butch saves his life, Marsellus agrees to let him go, and they call it even. I think that this is influenced by the fact that Marsellus’s soul had been restored. Otherwise, he might not have been so lenient.
Now, back to the “Divine Intervention” scene. Jules and Vincent expected to have been blown away, But they were spared by “some strange coincidence”. Again, I think this is God allowing them no harm until they have completed their task. After the task is completed, they are no longer protected by his will. (This is why Vincent had no chance when Butch gunned him down.)
Now on to the date between Vincent and Mia Wallace. They go out, dance, have a great time, she re-establishes my point that no-one really knows why Tony was thrown out of the window, and later she ends up putting a little too much heroin up her nose. In my opinion, Vincent is in no way to blame for her near-death, but I don’t think Marsellus would agree. As Vincent puts it to his dealer, “If Marsellus finds out about this, I am a f***in’ grease-spot!” So they end up saving her life, and Vincent gets off the hook. What would happen if she had died of her overdose? Marsellus would probably have had Vincent killed, so then Vincent wouldn’t have been able to help deliver the case, and also wouldn’t have been available to help Jules out in the diner when he was talking with “Ringo”. And on that note, Pumpkin and Honey-Bunny also learned a valuable lesson when they found out what exactly they were dealing with, and what Jules’ cargo was. But before all of that, Jules and Vincent were still just talking, and Jules mentioned that he was thinking about the miracle they witnessed. But carrying something sacred like that is, to me, what convinced Jules that he was living the wrong lifestyle. And even earlier, when “The Wolf” tells them to move out of the sticks and get a cab, they decide to go and have breakfast. Once again, this breakfast proved fateful, and Jules learns about what he feels is his destiny. Not only that, but he sets himself on the path that he now feels is right, and making himself broke by giving all the money he had to the couple, strengthening the love they had for each other, and all the while saving everyone else from being robbed or killed.
I’m sure there may be some details I forgot, but if anyone has any to add, or any criticism to offer, please do. :wink:
Well, that’s why I think Tony Rocky Horror was thrown out of a window into a greenhouse. At least that’s the “word around the campfire” according to Jules. But when Vincent brings that point up to Mia Wallace, she has no clue what he’s talking about. “The only thing Tony ever touched of mine was my hand when he shook it - at my wedding,” is what she tells him. And by some strange coincidence, Tony is no longer able to speak properly after getting thrown out of the window. :|
That’s why I mentioned “evidence”. Since I heard of that theory, I have watched it several times since, with that idea in mind. Quite a few points fit in with it, so I don’t think it even could be just gold.
At the end, when Tim Roth tells Jules to open the briefcase for him, he asks, “Is that what I think it is?” “Mmmhmm.” “It’s beautiful.” If it were gold, that question would be totally unnecessary.
The idea that it is Marsellus’ soul also supports the whole “divine intervention” scene. The fact that the duo were doing God’s work and delivering a soul back to someone who lost it wrongly is why God stepped in and saved them.
