"Do you do the voices?" Topic

When wargaming, do you get into character and have a go at imitating the accents of the forces you're commanding?

For example, uzink lotz off zs and vss for zee Germanz in approoffd var-film und Allo Allo style, doing your best Texan/English Aristocratic accent when playing forces from the other side of the Atlantic (as applicable), indulging in Franglais while commandng Napoleon's divisions or perhaps even gangster film Mafioso when playing Romans?

A- Certainly not, how ridiculous!
B- Actually, I think you'll find that's politically incorrect, yah?
C- Yeah, occasionally when with my good friends
D- All the time, it's great fun!

Mostly C

E – sometimes, matters not who I am with.

E – sometimes, matters not who I am with.

You should hear some of the atrocious accents I use on the ladies…

F- unable

G- Depends on how many pints I've ingested.

C – Because they know it is just to make them laugh.

C, G

D

Solo player so, no

E – The voices in my head change to mach the nation I am playing…..

Yes, because I am a solo player… my zombies make "ngggh" sounds every time they move.

Sometimes, if I'm feeling a bit silly.

C I can't do Assyrian or Hittite accents.

11. For tha Emperah!

Also, D.

Oh god! If I hear one more bad Italian accent while playing WWII I will be forced to strangle everyone! (great poll topic by the way!)

W – more likely to do Wacko Warner when the need for a voice arises.

D

Actually got a Brom Cross at Historicon, pretty much for my atrocious East Indian accent while playing Gurkas.

C

D – But all my forces sound like Curly from the three stooges…

Excellent

Shock news! TMP not as stuffy as supposed!

Come on John, I'm sure you can do the Sumerian accents if you just try to remember a little further back…..

oh, and dakka dakka dakka kaboom of course

Usually--my problem is remembering which accent I'm doing--so there's sometimes lapses.

It's been done, mistakes have been made.

I'll give it a D+

… Hey! It's just like Chemistry …

∂. Accents? I do it all in the actual language.

D. Especially if I can throw (in)appropriate movie references/impressions in.

I hear the voices…

Believe me if I played a group I would, I would. I like to entertain the masses

Of course, naturally all in good fun.

One of the guys I game with has gone further. One time he wrote an AAR for a FoG game in Greek with the translation of the "ancient text" and posted it on his blog. It got picked up and reposted by someone as if it were real and it generated a long string of serious comment. Needless to say, my buddy found out about it and forwarded the link to all of us. Much hilarity ensured.

Sometimes. When playing Aerodrome,and flying an SE,Camel, or Snipe,and I blast one of the Kaiser's crew,I'll make like Mick Mannock and go "Flamerino-sizzle,sizzle wonk."

Anyone go even further and actually speak in the language of the country I'm leading? I like to throw in French and Russian phrases when I'm commanding armies from those two countries. I've got to learn some Swedish (other than Ga Pa) for an upcoming Great Northern War game.

Also do Merlin, Daimler etc engine sounds when playing air games…..

I only paint what the voices in my head tell me to.
