*noddity nod nod*

 

nice, 12th =)

[North Star]

12th forgot one thing....we don;t hire manure shovelers :D we have foot archers :P THEY protect us. then we protect you manure shovelers when you are runnign aaway in fear! MWHAHAHHA!!!

 

people who stay RRS too long get thrown to Bob :D

[Lanthirrhos]

:lol: bah! I've been in enough RTSs to know that the archer dont actually cover retreats... thats usually a small part of an infantry detatchment or a mass cav strike to distract the enemy and becase the Cav can retreat away quickly.

[Auld Manriva]

Thats right 12th ... Rear guards in a fallback were always cavalry.. Why? Because the archers were the fastest off the field, because they were such a long range advantage. And because the cavalry could harry the opposing forces more effectively. Archers were only useful from long distance, once the enemy closed they were usually killed by the hundreds, because they had no armour and no close quarter weapons of much use against heavy infantry. And the French, if one reads history, cut the first two fingers off English bow men so they became useless, and who wanted a flamin archer as a prisoner that you had to feed..

[Lanthirrhos]

:P unless they're cute but.... nvm...

 

yea Archers usualy pull back several times in a battle, they try to keep the enemy just within range and no closer, because bows lose they usefullness if you must shoot through your own infantry instead of over them... :P

[woolhead]

Lose their usefulness?!?

12th, don't make me teach you a lesson.

I'll show you usefulness. :twisted:

[Lanthirrhos]

:lol: please do... you can teach it by rejoining and then shooting me in the back of the head while your trying to kill the enemy because you didn't pull back... 8)

[Taymist]

lmao well said !!!

[Lanthirrhos]

:P Thanks! :D I tried!

[kait]

thrown to Bob? (half a page later, kait is still traumatized) nooooooooo...

[PineTree]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I found the other boards, thanks to the official spiel. I registered there as pine. Hope you don't mind.

[kait]

works for me. easy to remember. tell you, my opinion seems to mean nothing in this Org.

 

the spiel is amazing, isn't it? you should be getting emails & PMs soon, too! not from me, since i'm still an RR myself. but do keep watching this thread; you'll keep getting welcomes here =)

[Tigara]

Welcome Pinetree!

 

Since when do we call the toilet the latrine?

[kait]

um. only since forever.

 

*grins* ... the terminology is really confusing to an RR, but as a general rule - everything people say is a reference to something in the way the Band works. they are very committed to this Band they have created. you'll get it eventually. if i did, anyone can.

[Corki]

Wikipedia always has the answers to your questions. Whether you trust what they say it up to you! lol!

[Kara_J]

And the French' date=' if one reads history, cut the first two fingers off English bow men so they became useless, and who wanted a flamin archer as a prisoner that you had to feed..[/quote']

 

Which is why, legend has it, the two finger swear sign and the two finger victory sign was born...the English used to taunt the french by holding their two fingers up to show that they had still got them and could still shoot!

[Corki]

Oh, how we love the French! :lol:

[woolhead]

Yes.... LOVE................ :P

[kait]

so if i can speak french but am not french ... what about me? where do i fit? *begins to sing* ... i feel so looooooooost.

[Lanthirrhos]

:D uhhh.... ask Corki.... 8) :lol:

[Corki]

Don't worry. We Brits like to poke fun at our neighbours in France.

[Lanthirrhos]

:P Well who doesn't?! :P Even Americans do that... I think we got that from you brits lol 8)
