“The Allies can’t lose , you just park aircraft over the central city and annihilate anything that tries to get into it.The other two cities are either swamped by the British , or cut off by the Americans….”

this is what i found. Allies park 4 planes into caen and 4 planes into St lo literally the entire game. half of all german artillery  sent in is anihilated by the straffing the other half his cleared by the ground forces before the germans even get the chance to fire at them. the only advantage is the allies run out of reinforcements faster but its evened out by the carnage the germans suffer from the airplanes

Oh, as far as the Chinese zodiac, I’m a pig. (or boar)

Umm…let’s see.  Lately my friends and I have been claiming that Mike’s Hard Lemonade is what perverts and pedophiles buy to get their victims drunk.  I can’t drink the stuff…but a friend of mine was having a party, and I asked him if he was getting a keg.  He said yes, so I asked if it was going to be Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

Bought a contested sky booster yesterday and I’d call what I got a carpark pull.

I got a Puma (which I allready love, despite not having played it yet)

… a Katusya (how do you use this whitout a spotter? 1/1 defence!)

and that japanese armored car (which is either off-scale or was freaking huge in real)

This was my first contested sky booster so no double’s or tripples or quadrippels (I bought about 6 base pack boosters and now I’ve got five 6-pounders… :S )

When dealing with the bible, remember to eat the puff balls of wisdom, then spit out the puff……a maddog original…well not exactly!

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?

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:

The book “one flew over the cuckoos nest” is from the indians point of view.  Its even better than the awesome movie.

Some books  -
      The bear and the dragon  by tom clancy        Very long.  again uses character jack ryan as president during a war b/w Russia and China

Ismael and My Ismael by daniel quinn          Girl talks to a gorrila that can communicate through physcokenisis or something like that.
                                                                The ape “Ismael” tries to teach the girl how the world is totally F’ed up and how the world controlles people through “mother culture”.  A lot of going back to tribal ways and no locking up of the food.  Question work.  That stuff

The story of B by daniel quinn.      Same ape only about religion this time.

Banking on Baghdad by i forget.    The history of foreign influence in iraq going back to around 3000 b.c.

Tube of mentos and a 2 liter bottle of pepsi!

Yes water is useful because it has a neutral pH, and also due to its continued dissociation between hydroxyl and hydrate ions

Axiom 7 “The only flavor that counts is the flavor of victory.”

I do like the hand of destiny though.

Sounds like a plan - I shall do that posthaste.  :wink:

@AgentOrange:

Which is why I brought up this topic:  Would it be a good or a bad idea to allow Germany a first-round withdrawal?  :?

Ive done it before…and sometimes it works very well.  My method of retreating and regrouping is to simpy advance all my inf forward, cause I feel that I shoud at least make the russians pay dearly for advancing.  I retreat my art and arm…making large arm stacks in Eastern Europe and making a large art stack in the Balkans.

I’d say appropriate is when the government decides you are mature enough to die for your country.  After all, if you can poison yourself with tobacco at 18, why can’t you help your health until you are 21?

Thanks man - that does help!

However, now that I think about it, if the SNLF Captain actually were a paratrooper, then he should be worth more points. (maybe 9 or 10)  I was using him to drop him strategically next to my snipers/MGs to hurt their targets’ cover rolls.  :-D

@AgentOrange:

I appreciate that DJ, but even so; I don’t think it would be complete until there are some paratroopers getting involved.  But that sounds like a very good idea!

Paratroopers are coming in Set 2 on Dec. 2.

Yeah, they even have some new maps that you can download.
