On This Day... |
 1940In Finland Soviet forces begin major attacks on the new Finnish defense line under the direction of General Timoshenko. Pressure is exerted against all points but is strongest at the north and south ends. Vuosalmi in the north is attacked by Soviet 13th Army forces while the reserve corps of Soviet 7th Army is advancing over the sea ice toward the west side of Viipuri Bay. Soviets reach the southern suburbs of Viipuri. Meanwhile, Finnish fighters foil an attempted raid on Helsinki. [Finns examine a downed Soviet bomber] 1943The Battle of the Bismarck Sea opens Northeast of New Guinea. A Japanese convoy is attacked by USAF B25 bombers, which sink 12 ships. The USAF had been experimenting with a new aerial tactic called skip-bombing, wherein the attacking airplane drops a bomb with a long-delay fuze close to the surface and lets it skip into the side of the target ship. This was the first occasion in which the Americans would use this new tactic. Of the nearly 4000 Japanese troops heading for New Guinea, only 850 were not lost.

What are you doing now?????? |
 So a lot of people have moved on to other things since the Buckets server going offline. Some even still play online together and have kept the gaming friendships going.I tried BF4 and lasted all of 45 minutes of online game play before I uninstalled in disgust.. Sorry Drake and Soonie but I just could not play that drivel... World of Tanks and War Thunder have held my interest for some time but the gaming became stale and boring and the usual crowd of griefers and punks just ruin the game with running the mouths and being on Roads lawn... So I find myself wondering what is new, what is going to be the next biggest thing... for me there are two possible bright spots coming and I backed them through kickstarter... they have online elements and multiplayer but they are both Space sims... games I would lock myself away and spend hours playing in my youth.... Elite Dangerous (coming this year hopefully) link Star Citizen (2015 to 2016 if it ever gets made) link So what games are coming that are exciting you? |

ET Server Closing |
 The server will be closing in the next few days, and I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by the server. While I can't say that there wasn't some disappointment with the turnout, the fact that we did have Bucketeers show up was appreciated by the people that put this together.It was great to see some old names and to play a game that we all enjoyed. The server may be shutting down, but the community isn't dead, so please don't hesitate to post on the messageboard and to join the Chicken Bucket Steam Group to catch up with and see what games everyone else has been playing. Thanks!
