.Anyway this all started because weasel whinned about losing, like he had nothing to do with it.The point is the game was winnable on his end.But he blames rarity and German armor.

I was not whining, I was stating a fact that panthers are too common when they were not common at all (ZERO RARITY>>>REALLY???). For every 8 PzIVs you should see a Panther, for every 10 Stugs you should see a Panther. If you go for all German tank types combined it would probably boil down to 15-1. I am not complaining about your win, nor did I not dispute your win; it was my second CMBN game and a learning curve (big), tanks are far more deadly to infantry than in CM1, artillery is far harder to control, and Panthers are far more deadly. Why did I not buy all fireflys?, because I always try to buy realistically and 5 panthers holding a town with no other support is not realistic nor is a battalion of FireFlys realistic, but as stated, there were no ground rules.

Weasel, sorry but Panthers where very common in Normandy, in fact it was the main battle tank in the British sector, in the US sector however where almost no Panthers at all as the majority of the panzerdivisions where all concentrated near Caen, Montgomeries trap !

I like playing more than anything, and yes I like winning more than losing,who doesnt?anyone would be lying if they said they like losing.

You may have missed where I said, "I play ladder games because it's fun to be competitive, but the journey is more fun than the win or the loss at the end.

Of course it's more fun to win than to lose, otherwise there would be no competition. :)

I would rather lose a close victory with both sides having realistic forces in a back-and-forth battle, than a total victory because I picked nothing but Panthers. Seriously.

Obviosly your proud of your 100 wins, you just told us all about your 100 wins.

Well, you asked me how many victories I had.

Should I have not answered?

have no idea how you play, but you claim to know about how I play and know nothing about me.
"Do-anything-for-a-victory style of play", you have the wrong guy.

I'm basing information about how you play, which came from you.

You're the one talking proudly about picking nothing but Panthers.

" And your an idiot for making that statement.Not a much of a tactics guy."?Could'nt be further from the truth.

You said: "Das Tiger just recently delt me a total loss and I took 9 Panthers.He played better than I did, thats it."

So, I'm assuming you are, in fact, a "tactics guy"?

This where you don't get it.Since 1999, Ive probably played well over
a thousand games, pbem,tcip.Ive taken all Panthers twice, once against weasel , once against das tiger.Ive played every kind of game, all infantry, all armor, whatever the opponent wants.You make inaccurate and stupid assumptions about my style of play.Who cares if I took 9,5, or 18 panthers.And by the way it would not have been unrealistic to go up against 5 panthers in Normandy.Anyway this all started because weasel whinned about losing, like he had nothing to do with it.The point is the game was winnable on his end.But he blames rarity and German armor.

And Weapon, i don't mean to bash you either but the CMFI game we are playing.

First you ask that it be a ladder game or not, i said yes only to see that you put rarity off and took a platoon! of Tigers knowing fully well that the US has nothing in there arsenal to stop it. I could have asked to put rarity on but that seems abit odd to me, in all the years i am playing PBEM games i never ever seen 'rarity off' as default so people wont specifically ask to put it on.

Luckily for me the map is pretty big with alot of hiding spots and i do not fear a challenge but i do not have high hopes for a victory here.

That being said , i will stand my ground and try to give you hell anyways
