The Old Empires

[grumpylad]

Many thanks. The nick is probably older than many users, a throw back to IRC and hotmail, not specifically this forum. (For example check out hotmail, ICQ and readytogo.net for it's history)

As I said I'm looking forward to the complete version

"The British navy is incorrect, as is it's level of re-inforcements for it;s army

The Russian navy is incorrect(way to few) as it's reinforcements for it's army (way to many).

The Russian army is way to strong when compared with the Germans and Austrians. I was able to destroy Germany and Austria by the end of 1914"

I see. Present your facts!

I am waiting for your documentation.

In which way is the British Navy incorrect?

In which way is the Russian Navy incorrect?

Rocotech, firstly may I say that your tone does not encourage debate. As you are asking for a considerable body of sources (rather than facts) It will take a time to collate and post (I have a full-time job) during the week. Hopefully you will be satisfied with URL's and book references rather than actual quotes?

Additionally I am delighted that I can contribute to the debate, rather than be deemed a figment of your imagination ;o))

I hate to say this grumpylad, but you will have to come up with alot and some real specific evidence if you wish to disprove Rocoteh's numbers.

Generally, Id make the Russian infantry weaker, but also to cost a bit less.

I am pro-historian. If someone says I deliver facts that
are not correct, I expect that person to come up with arguments
and sources.

I have NEVER voted less than good on ANY thread
(scenarios, mods, units etc)

If and when you do it, I think you have an obligation
to present why!

Coming up with some arrogant and perfidious comments
does not impress on me.

Good to see that we are all in agreement and that we understand each other. God why does everyone post when I'm half way through typing just saw what you said rocoteh and I agree. And I just realized this we are all acting a bit like babies.. Every one here except me I'm 11 is fairly old and I think we should be able to talk... I know I'm going to get flamed (well in most places I would) but I thought it was important to say this...

I have more than 5 years of academic education.

I have been in many interesting discussions.

I hope that I am wrong but the posts from Grumpylad
reminds me of the comments from the kid with rich
parents having a good time whispering jokes about
the teacher.

I know that type, I dealt with the one in my town ages ago... and it wasnt pleasant at all...

As much as debates are good things, flamewars arent good for diplomacy or feedback...

 

[Happyman]

At least one person agrees...

Not disturbed, I just dont like having fights in the scneario threads as it drives people away.

Good for now, "Playing with us" might not be a good thing in the future. I myself can easily take it the wrong way, then things get ugly real fast.
