The name of my young coworker.Whippoorwill, or fire at will. It doesn't pay to be will.
He has earned two nicknames from me..The name of my young coworker.
Only briefly but we got along very nicely.Did you ever meet Commandante Chianti?
βAztec the high road. You take the low road? Anille be in Scotland afore yee!!β Keep drams and carry onIn the IIFT Use in Playtests thread Robin offered to give me an Immobilized Pz 1B versus a horde of vastly superior Russian AFVs. He had annoyingly remembered a past statement of mine where I said that I would gladly take the vastly outnumbered and incredibly inferior force if only for the glory of it all. Think if you somehow managed a victory or even close defeat. Anyway I facetiously said that I accepted his challenge, knowing it would never happen.
I got to thinking about it and decided there was a way for me to demonstrate this masochistic willingness to attempt the near impossible, at least in gaming.
I have been playing Civilization 3, Play the World on the second hardest level, Emperor, and holding my own for a while against superior civilizations. The problem is that I can't match the pace of Civilization Advances of the other AI controlled civilizations.
In the current game the Aztecs are at the borders with modern battleships, transports, modern infantry and tanks. My best units are knights. I also have galleys and catapults.
I was going back a few turns trying a strategy to thwart his seaborne forces from landing in my territory when four veteran Aztec tanks appeared on my border. Previously before " going back to clubhouse " I had thrown a force of twenty knights against three Aztec modern infantry and one medieval infantry that had landed inside my borders. It took three turns and sixteen dead knights before I eliminated the invaders. When the tanks and two more battleships with transports showed up I said Ci Arrendiamo and started another game. I wasn't going to spend twenty hours of gaming time watching my Civilization get destroyed.
Then Robin came along! He has the seeds of jickness in him.
So to demonstrate my willingness to get massacred I will go back to that game and fight it out to the bitter end. Dedicated to Robin of course. I will post a running commentary and perhaps some screenshots in a new thread entitled " Actionjick Takes His Lumps ". Probably in the computer gaming forum as it doesn't belong in ASL. Captain Bacchus and the gang will be on hand to provide me with plenty of refreshments. I am going to need them!
Thanks I will need all the humor available to get through this. And refreshments. Can't forget the refreshments.βAztec the high road. You take the low road? Anille be in Scotland afore yee!!β Keep drams and carry on
Spoken like a true swabbie (at least all the ones I know).Thanks I will need all the humor available to get through this. And refreshments. Can't forget the refreshments.
Aye matey! We salty seadogs and sea cats be a refreshment luvin' bunch that be for sure!Spoken like a true swabbie (at least all the ones I know).
This probably should have been put in " Memories of Bill " Fish " Conner part two" thread but they are really good margaritas. If the moderators could move it there or leave it here at their discretion I would appreciate it. Thanks!A thread about a EU tournament and a player having to convince his wife that he should go got me thinking about Fish and his wife Lou. Well a couple of Actiondebbie's margaritas too.
I met Lou a few times and wasn't too surprised when they got married. What was interesting was that our pace of gunnin, SL days, and his of gigging with the band didn't seem to slow down.
Fish never spoke about his marriage and it wasn't until I cleaned the carpet in the house he was moving to that I found out he was getting divorced. I'm not the kind of guy to ask questions about your personal life.
Apparently gunnin, gigging and marital harmony was not a cocktail that mixed very well.
Lol Fish was a competitor in everything he did. He won the divorce too!
