In The Trenches

At the end of another long days march home from the front I chanced upon some
mighty battlements...thinking this seemed a goodly place to rest my weary bones I approached more closely.

Nearing the castle I noticed weeds and crumbling walls..the marks of long neglect.
Then I spied a sullen and downcast knave pining near its rusty gates...

"What ho, sad squire?? Who is master of yonder hall??"

"None m'Lord", he softly lamented. Then his eyes brightened, "All this can be yours
m'Lord if you but want it?". "and I will help you restore it", he eagerly added.

While I yet pondered this proposition, who appeared (seemingly from the air), none other
than that mad mage Micwil!! He had a young warrior (Soljourn) in tow. He charged us both to rebuild the house and suddenly was gone...

And so was new life breathed unto...
 

HAVOC 

Game # 8237.
AXIS is Starchild
HoganS is the allies

In the following case Hogan was not a hero

excerpt from the Ukranian luftwaffe pilot
and his panzer commander friend:

"Hey, are you alright?" said the luftwaffe pilot as he
exited his plane after the Russian attack. "Yeah, a couple
of dings but this ole girl is just fine!". "I just heard on
the radio that Moscow was EMPTY and ripe for the taking!"
"What difference does that make!!" Snarled the Panzer commander.
"Well, it wouldn't mean much but look due east and tell me
what you see." The Panzer commander gazed to the east and replied
quite disgustingly "NOTHING, so what?!" "Due east is the Caucusus,
a sure way to MOSCOW!!" replied the increasingly elated but ever
patient luftwaffe pilot. "WAIT!!" yelled the Panzer commander, "if
Caucusus is empty and so it MOSCOW.................." He let his
voice trail off but looked at his compatriot with a knowing grin.
Yes, there would be pillaging in MOSCOW TONIGHT!!
 

SS : That is correct and not the only time this has been done believe me .
game over ger 1 .
 

HS: Doh!! Col.Homer strikes again! 

game 8207.
AXIS is JBell. vs HighCmmdr isAllies.

S.S. ::Well here is a game where the H.C. gets his arse kicked by the infamous dice roller.
some EX. of his dice rolling skills.

Combat:
Attack Egy (1arm) with:
2inf f/Ind via 1trn f/Ind sz to Red sz
1ftr f/Ind
*Amphibious Assault*
2inf/1ftr vs 1arm
*Egy holds with 1arm*
 

S.S. : He also attacks in the U.S. rd. a sub in Lab with 2 air units he missed . Now this sub also survived 3 air shots from the UK. H.C. then rolled for techs and Yes!!!! They were of no help .He attacked 2 ships in the SFE with 2ftrs and a sub sz held . This all in RD. one 

HS: Now that we've all seen that HC IS ,in fact, mortal (and savoured the moment properly!!), I believe I've learned his secret... He saves up ALL his bad luck for one game!! Perhaps AS (see profile) can use this to his advantage?? 

THE SCHMIDT HOUSE 

Minstrels Please....

What do you do to make playing A+A on the ol pc a little more enjoyable??
I find that a little mood music makes all the difference...

For general game play nothing beats Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' album for background
music!!
And when that crucial game deciding battle is all set to go...make sure Dirty Woman gets
started just as you're sending in the troops!!

In the classical mood?? Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture fits the bill.. (especially on Russian
turn)

Here's some country specific tunes...
Russia: Back in the USSR (Beatles)
Germany: Dreamer (Supertramp)
UK: God Save the Queen (Sex Pistols)
Jap: Godzilla (B.O.C)
Usa: Born in the USA (The Boss)

Got your own favorites?? Drop me a line...


Kudo's this month to: Warren for all his hard work reinvigorating our tourneys!!
Honourable Mentions: Micwil and Haldor for busting their humps on the server change..

Raspberries to: the lack of interest in the last IAAPA elections!! This is YOUR club people!! The only way to make it better is to get involved!!

Fire in the Hole!!.....
 

INTELLIGENCE? 

Welcome to our humble guest quarters.. I shall have the squire fetch fresh linens and lay in a fire...Please make use of the writing desk to send us any comments,letters,thoughts,criticisms or any other useless piece of drivel you wish to share.. 

SQUIRES SOLLILOQUAYS 

Well here we are, all back together again. I am no longer a Squire without a Knight.
I can now get back to my stinging ways. I can hardly wait to spread my stinging wit around the Kingdom once again.
So ladies get ready for here we come ...
 

Havoc is Back!!
