Re: Nation Challenge (attn: Dogscoff & Growltigga)
Growltigga,
1st) dumbluck, Yes, thanks for a fast reply
2nd) doscuff, please remind Mister Tigga that the Red Coats won the battle of * Breeds Hill *, (It just cost them dearly)
I am saving a famous quote for an appropriate time
3rd) The end of January sounds good for me for the same reasons
4th) Challenge hereby accepted. Not only am I hard enough, but I am good enough as well, (a pun you will understand some day)
5th) As for my happy sacks, You and what armada?
5th) < broad grin > Hmm, in the USA, we derogatorily refer to Lawyers as * Sharks *. I will be using one of the easier to see ship sets.
6th) Correct, you don't have what it takes to abuse me, (maybe when you are older)
Moderators: Please allow for friendly banter between me and my young but honorable opponent.
7th) I should point out that the *check is in the mail *
I wish I could meet you in Arizona. I have photos of the area around Tucson at my website. www.windingstream.com
I put my gameing history in * How Old Are You Thread *
More later

Gryphin
Paraphrasing the response
2nd - remember Pearl Harbour, the Alamo etc etc - about time you uppity yanks got a taste of good old british steel - there are no French to help you this time
4th - teddy bears at dawn I feel
5th - the armada that will be woppin' (is that how is it said?) you in the game
5th - dont worry, I wouldn't dream of taking advantage of your dodgy eyesight
6th - you ain't seen nothing yet
7th - telegraphic transfer of funds only - account details to follow - please note all bills are to be settled in full within 15 days of request
Arizona will be work and a wedding - apparently Arizona lasses think English chaps are a much better catch than the locals - natural selection really

Excuse, no New World based partisanship please.
This bout should be quite a laugh, to paraphrase our esteemed wartime leader 'Never in the field of wargaming have so many daft mistakes and stupid moves been made by such a right couple of plonkers

2nd) The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on Breeds Hill,
The Battle of New Orleans comes to mind, Something about the War of 1812. Hmm, Jonny Horton had quite a song about it. Would you like the lyrics? Shall I quote Kipling and his poem about the Zulus broke the British Square?
4th) Goodenough is my Last name, and that is the way it is pronounced.
5th) Please send in the fleet, we will use the scrap metal to build a memorial to your vanished race.
* correcting my typo *
6th) I challenge you to choose a ship set that will be difficult to see. I have never used my vision as an excuse, and I would not want to deprive you of an advantage. For things to work correctly it will have to be one of the default sets.
BTW: These dodgy eyes took all but one of the photos at my web site.
8th) True, I have not seen anything yet from you. Nor do I expect to. Though the hot air has been good for a chuckle and a wry grin or two.
7th) You will have to accept telepathic payment
You quote Darwin? I would say you are right. You have to come here to find someone of quality,

Well now, I have checked my Enclycopedia Britannica and it definately refers to Bunker Hill, not Breeds Hill and as that is the font of all knowledge, I assume it is you Gryphin who is geographically challenged (by the way, for all you colonials out there, London is in England, not vice versa (NB there's me getting chucked out of the forum for good!!!!)
The Battle of New Orleans comes to mind, Something about the War of 1812. Hmm, Jonny Horton had quite a song about it. Would you like the lyrics?
I already know the one about the battle of new orleans ie "we fired our guns but the british kept on coming but there wasnt that many as there was a while ago?" - time for a hoe downI feel and I am beginning to worry that you may be a line dancer or into country and western music
Shall I quote Kipling and his poem about the Zulus broke the British Square?
If you wish - interesting new development on the Zulus on a very good documentary over here - the expose shows they used drugs heavily to work themselves into a fighting spirit so much that you would probably have needed a modern armoured battlaion to stop massed zulu impis - not just a battalion of English and native soldiers with martini henry - that being said we did well as Shaka did say the British were the bravest warrios besides the zulus
4th) Goodenough is my Last name, and that is the way it is pronounced.
You are joking - if not - nice to meet you - mine is Plummer-St John- Fawke
5th) Please send in the fleet, we will use the scrap metal to build a memorial to your vanished race.
Please, typical American chutzbah - if you mention Mom's homemade apple pie and crumbly candy bars (or is that dumbluck) I will personally cry - always remember that only a nationwith considerable history like England can compoete and compoete with style - if we lose, we will lose with style, panache and elegance and if we go down, the galaxy will say that we looked good going down
* correcting my typo *
6th) I challenge you to choose a ship set that will be difficult to see. I have never used my vision as an excuse, and I would not want to deprive you of an advantage. For things to work correctly it will have to be one of the default sets.
The only advantage I need is another bottle of vino and permission from 'she who must be obeyed' to play
BTW: These dodgy eyes took all but one of the photos at my web site.
8th) True, I have not seen anything yet from you. Nor do I expect to. Though the hot air has been good for a chuckle and a wry grin or two.
Likewise - I now christen you Montgolfier for all the hot air produced on this thread - I look forward to the opportunity of learning SE IV and PBEM together - the worst that can happen is that I give up and go back to Shogun Warlord
7th) You will have to accept telepathic payment
Do you have bailiffs in the US? if not, you might have a surprise
You quote Darwin? I would say you are right. You have to come here to find someone of quality,
No, I quote Churchill after the Battle of Britain.
Truly, the best PM we ever had (or at least the one with the largest cojones)
