The Sad Cunts with No Life Thread

[Macunaima ah]

Based on the below post, who could he be now?

Yes I do… I wargame once a year a BIG battle involving thousands of 1/72 Napoleonic miniatures… I also wrote a "book" about them with pictures… it's a fantasy history in 1818 were Napoleon still remain in power and most of the European Powers come to Africa to fight for their resources…it's involved two large Armies (large for Africa … not for Europe) … led in one hand under the name of "Associates" by France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Switzerland and some small German states such as Bavaria or Hesse and by the other hand the "Allies" led by England, Austria, Prussia the Ottomans, Portugal, Sweden and also some small German states like Brunswick, Hannover etc.

Currently, each Army has about 35,000 men (not all of them are present in each battle), I made an imaginary map devised by myself …. each battle lasts a whole month in a room (my study) with several tables with a total amount of about 6m x4mts …

The rest of the year I buy, paint and build units.

My units are made up of Infantry: Companies (about 200 men) Battalions (4 or 5 companies) Regiments: (3 to 5 Battalions) and Divisions (4 to 6 Regiments) Cavalry: Squadrons (about 80 to 150 horsemen – it depends a lot on the national origin of each one of them) Companies ( 4 to 6 Squads). There are no Cavalry Divisions, they are integrated into a Division that has Infantry + Cavalry + Artillery. Regarding the Artillery: Batteries: 4 to 6 guns (depending on their caliber) Companies: 4 to 6 batteries. There are no Artillery Battalions, they are incorporated into each Division…

I also like to play with characters (to illustrate a bit the story I write)For example, The Allied Commander-in-Chief is Ltn General Albert Lucius Powell (a Scotsman with certain characteristics of Wellington in his strategy), the Associate Commander-in-Chief is Ltn General Andrée Anton Duval (a Gascon with Ney manners, but more smart). In each unit there is a name for the Chief and the 2nd chief … from the smallest to the largest. It is fun to search for names for so many nationalities …

Oops! … too much information about something silly that only interests me … but you have made me excited …

The photos of my battles and units were published for years by my good friend Rafa and several came to TMP by the hand of our fellow member Arteis … but that was a long time ago …

I have to say, I DID see those pictures.

It’s always a treat when chronic bullshitters lose track of their own lies. The most amusing takeaway from Tango’s swan song is the big reveal of his age.

At 71 … I hope one day to return part of such great kindness (smile)

Now I may not be the most gifted mathematician but that would make him 32 in 1982. Do we all remember that he claims to have been junior officer in the Malvinas? Law student, police marksman, one man Exocet etc, etc? Not many 32 year old lieutenants in the Argentine or any other army.

It really gives me a good fucking laugh that all those chuckleheads on TNP are fawning over the walty cunt. Actually his list id worth preserving, it’s a virtual roll call of the most moronic denizens of TNP, aside from Bill naturally.

35,000 men in each army and 'no Cavalry Divisions'? What the fuck is the matter with him?
I'm not sure I believe him.
Mac - you saw the photos - but do you know whose armies they were?

I recall some years ago that someone - who wasn’t Tango - posted links on TMP to pictures of Tango’s collection and games. It was an enormous amount of 1/72 plastic Napoleonics.

There are still a few left who aren’t all that impressed with him.
I think Bill got into trouble from Tango01’s shenanigans. I also think he tried to control him. Bill tried to set up something, and did it incompetently. As expected.
So Tango01 is miffed. He’s announcing that he is blocked out, and yet there he is! His cult is mourning his passing. But he hasn’t passed.
Real life Bizarro World.
But TMP will survive this entertaining cockup as usual. Nothing can kill it off.

Oh come on, give Bill credit. He's trying his best to kill it.

Yes, and he can’t even do that right!

Anyone looked at TWW in the last little while?

And we think we've got a spam problem!

Yeah, that’s what I remember, too. And a guy writing in impeccable English about his pal Dr. Raul.

About the same time I was at the San Telmo fair in Buenos Aires and ran across a store that was chock-a-block full of 1/72nd scale painted Napoleonics. So someone in BA is indeed painting 1/72nd scale Napoleonics. I highly doubt his real name is Raul Whatever and I also doubt that Tango is Argentinean by birth.

An expat friend of Bill’s? Someone he convinced to start doing work for him on TNP but whose persona Bill occasionally takes over?

Could Tango be a trans-Argentinean?

[Il Segaiolo Pedantesco]

He's probably that Brit expat going on about his cousin...

Maybe Arteis knows and someone should grill him with a baguette!
