Let's remember some GJ guys
- Thread starter Theodore

Did he? I remember him going to Amsterdam on a stag and being amused that he was posting about places I'd been there equally messed up.

I gotta move
Archaeology Jam
PhlatPhive: Dutch guy who was into Latin/acoustic stuff, great fella, wonderful sense of humour
Gopher666: hard rocker (I think) from Norway, I sent him a copy of The Art Of War that I had bought in Norwegian by accident - he was very thankful, lost some friends at the Breivik attacks
Requiem156: Nice guy from Portland, Maine who owned a couple of Parker Flys if I'm not mistaken, had a very varied taste in music
ChuckyBB: easy-going chap from Philadelphia, I think, spent some time in London, spoke to him on the phone a couple of times
Faber: Even though he was the only other Dane at GJ we never interacted much, I don't even know what music he liked
Taylorman: Soft-spoken British Indian who liked early Springsteen, very nice and gifted guy
Motorik: he's around but gets honourable mentions for unknowingly inspiring me to pick the topic for my master's thesis, earned me a PhD scholarship, that I turned down in favour of a job
Strings74: light-hearted NYC lawyer, I don't think he listened to anything else than Iron Maiden
r0g3r (sp?): we had nothing in common, agreed on nothing but got along fine, was always nice to me
Brocktoon: he knew bands that were so obscure even the band members themselves didn't know about their own existence, beat him once in Company of Heroes and we never played again
Abrasion: not the loudest bloke but he was quite witty and liked teh br00dlz
tamore (sp?): boy did we argue, that was at the time I did my divinity degree, New Atheism was a thing and I just couldn't help myself (sorry, guys!), was never ugly though, a true gent
Mo: actually him and I agreed on very little except the joys of curry but we just always got along so well, we were friends on FB until I stopped using it and closed my profile a few years later, miss him
Good times!

I barely played CoH with live opponents. I enjoyed the strategy but found it way too fast-moving to the point that it was legitimately stressful.

Oh hai! Indeed, it was not relaxing at all!
Generalfeldmarschall von Motorik and I played that game so much that I often had nightly flashbacks of screaming infantrymen, flying limbs and PANZER ELITE NAZI ZOMBIES invading my neighbourhood while chanting GERMAN STEEL and looting our stock of LAGER BEER

I think OUR CoH sessions delayed my PhD completion by a full year.
I used to see it in my head as I was going to sleep.

Valuable research!
Someone made an excellent 'The Great War 1918' mod that I think you'd have liked. It was based on the factions from the vanilla game with the same level of micro-management, equally detailed and well-balanced, but at a slower pace, and with British units and voice acting replacing the US Army. The casualty rate per minute was much higher than in the original, and a single player skirmish on a small map could easily take an hour. I never got to try it online though.
Probably a good thing it wasn't released back when we played as I'd fear we might both have lost any touch with real life.

You don't deserve koa.

There are Mark Vs, Whippets and these big boxy German A7V ones that I had to look up on wiki. But it's more about mortars and artillery.
You can watch a full game here:
There's a lot of infantry, well, until there suddenly isn't
