As long as the humor is targeted at the frogs or the roast beefs, I don't mind. 🙂 Sorry for derailing the thread.

I'm the first to laugh with jokes about French people but this subject is different. Many people suffered or died during war, fighting to preserve their country, their liberty and all that they care about . So joking by calling them cowards does not seem to me appropriate, out of respect for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senior_falcon Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 90,000 French soldiers died in the Battle of France in 6 weeks. That sounds pretty heroic to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So joking by calling them cowards does not seem to me appropriate, out of respect for them. I understand, though, while not entirely different, I have a different perspective on the jokes, themselves: I have much respect for the dead; my disdain is for the living, and, at that, a very particular part of the living a la Bastiat. That said, this is not the proper forum to continue with this conversation. 5 minutes ago, SteveB said: @Vorticon Please confirm that there will be no wildlife on the battlefield to avoid ... On a serious note, I assume there are obstacles in the course as it exists now. Upping the ante for a later contest to include random obstacles (moving walls, wildlife, &c.) could be interesting.

Thank you for the precision. When reading your message, I didn't thought about Claude-Frédéric Bastiat, It must be said that he slightly ends up in oblivion in France, a good thing in my opinion.

SteveB Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Started testing against myself today ... what can I say, I always win this way. 🤪 In CPU Overdrive a match takes about 5 to 8 min .. And I hit the 100 steps limit about one or two times in a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 The step limit just adds an extra layer of challenge but also serves to limit the length of each battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrodroid Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Q: Is it safe to assume that my "tank2" tank will need to function equally well as "tank1" (on the left side of the map) during actual competition rounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
