As featured in Lard Magazine 2018, this is a fight between one cagey Panther and a whole lot of, well, less-able Shermans at a place that history knows as Barkmann's corner.
Who's in?
Saturday, 1900 CST
Played in Tabletop Simulator. Rules for "What a Tanker!" will be taught for those who don't know them.
We can accommodate five players.
OK -- So now we've got:
1. Vance
2. Cat
3. Me
4. Mebbe Velker
5. Mebbe Doug
I am more than happy to step out and umpire if we can get more folks. I'll keep this list current.
Also, we'll set up a Steam chat channel so spec your headphones and mics, people.
-
In! :D
-
I'll try, though I've no idea how to play it.
What's the name of the add-on for TTS? I'll install it beforehand.
-
You don't need to install it. The host, Cyrano, sets up the game and you join his table. All done.
It's a fairly easy game to play. Simple rules. Fast playing.... especially when I roll badly.... :P
-

You'll get a run for your money on that one. I expect I'll be rolling worse.

I have family coming over Saturday. I suspect I'll be at a physical table gaming with my kids, but if things wrap up early I'm in.

I was the only tank, of 4, to blow up last time... so you have your work cut out for you.... :Loser:

Who's ready?
ERNST BARKMANN, dat's who!
-
Psst.... wrong tank.... :Loser:
-
oops
-
Yep...
Was testing y’all.
Vance passes.
*blush*
(Fixed.)

Maybe it was a loaner from the panzer repair shop since Barkmann's own Panther had to be repaired so many times.

As good a story as any I've got...

hmmm, if nothing is going on... what do you use for voice?
-
Steam chat

Wait NOTHING is going on??
Nothing??!!
How about almost nothing?
Near nothing?
Presque rien?
Gimme a little margin of home here...

I'm now having to go to a home show that's halfway across town on Saturday. I'm pretty sure I'll be back in time for this, but just in case it takes forever (this was not my idea but my wife's, to make me and my father-in-law go, and the latter is much more interested than I), I'm afraid I'll have to be last minute on this. But I'll notify you with as much notice as possible tomorrow. Apologies.
-
So, just checking, does 2000 CST work better for folks?
Obviously, the more the merrier...
-
Oh, and, if you're playing and haven't done so yet, please friend me on Steam so that I may find you.
I am Cyrano and can be distinguished from the 1,000s appropriating that name by the Marshal Berthier portrait attached to my account.

Well usually Saturday night, the wife is going up to bed at 8 oclock, so that is my classification of "Nothing going on". So if we're not have company or going out, then there will be 'nothing going on', as long as I don't get into some Netflix or Prime Movie. Is there a Football Game Saturday Night too?
-
I'd like to, but heading to the HS boys basketball game tonight. It's at home, and should be a pretty good game.
-
SO... are we on tonight?
-
100%
I think we’ll go at 1900 CST unless somebody shouts.
-
Are you live streaming it on YT?
-
Wife is heading up to bed! :bigthumb:
-
@tuna: AWESOME!
@stagger: yep
-
Changed mind, now on couch with me.. we'll see.
-
I believe.
-
Barth -- You still coming?
-
where's the link?!
-
Thanks guys, even though I was lacking in skills, it was a lot of fun. Pleasure hanging with you. :bigthumb:
-
Great fun again Cyrano. Thanks for hosting. What's the link to the YT vid?
-
It will take a bit for the whole video to process.
Thanks very much to all who joined!
-
Is it possible to watch these live as they happen?
-

Yes... it's a live stream.... :biggrin:
You could also join in a play too.....
-
Where are the links to the live streams posted?
-
I will make a point of posting the livestream link into the forum when the game goes live.
My goal is to begin programming them as events which would give us several days lead time.
-
If you click on his 'name' on his other video's it would bring you to his main page and you would see the live stream there.

Open the video above, click on youtube so it reopens there, and click on Cyrano's name below the vid to go to his Youtube home page. Then subscribe (and maybe click the notification bell to find out after the fact that a new vid went up). On the evening of a game you can go back to his home page and wait for the live stream to start.
EDIT: sorry, got pulled away in the middle of my post and didn't see that others had already answered.
Brant, do these forums have the 'another user has posted' warning option that pops up just as you hit 'send', allowing you to review your post before sending again?
-

Facebook, Twitter, and the front page of the &$%# site.

probably. I'll put in a tech support ticket and see what we can do with it
-
I saw a warning when I posted.
-
There is a warning that is triggered if someone else posts while you are still typing a reply.
-
Mirth worked damn hard to code that thing, too.

The best thing I learned from that last video is that Waterloo is on Youtube. I just finished watching it and now I'm wondering what the best book on Napoleon is. (http://www.aarcentral.com/emoti/thinking.gif)

^Cool, I wish-listed it but at that price it might be a while before I can get it. Do you have a recommendation on a book about his entire life?
