On This Day... |
 1940A British counter attack is launched near Arras (northern France) with armoured and infantry support against Rommel's 7th Panzer Division, throwing it off balance. A similar attack in the south by a French armoured brigade under General de Gaulle fails after initial success. The French Ninth Army is surrounded and destroyed, its commander, General Giraud, taken prisoner. The Allies lost 35 tanks and approx 75 men, but 170 prisoners were executed by the SS. German losses were 300 killed or wounded. General Giraud was taken to Königstein Fortress but later escaped and joined the Free French Forces. He later met with General Dwight Eisenhower in Gibraltar. Eisenhower gave him the code name King-Pin and asked him to command French troops in Algeria. [Königstein Fortress] 1944A small American force lands at Sperlonga in Western Italy, having embarked at Gaeta. Meanwhile, forces of the US 5th Army continue attacking. The US 2nd Corps captures Fondi while the French Expeditionary Corps takes Campodimele. German resistance in the Liri Valley and around Pico prevents significant gains in these areas.

I had not realized that the disk quota for the site (not that it is used much) had been exceeded so no one could post, delete or update anything other than the shoutbox. You'd be surprised that the hosting company NEVER notified me (my job really) Or that the 25,000+ spam emails for Rolex's, Viagra and other things that Drake was pushing via email that also included the email delivery failures from Soonie and Drake for the Bucket Revival (no wonder nobody was there) was jamming up the Site's inbox.. but I must say it stopped getting emails in 2013 !!!! All because the Error_log file was at 8.85GB My bad... So how is everyone... everyone that can read this of course.. |

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!
