Maybe you'r right. Maybe this forum isn't the right place to point at web-resources on WWII that don't cost nothing. Seems to me that much too many slaves of the patent-dictatorship enjoy being whipped. Time to create a page with all these links for anyone and his dog, instead, just out of generosity and as a sign and proof of rather scarce interest for "copyrights"? A last one, for the night, then Ill go back to lurking for the next months: (link deleted) Don't download it if you don't intend to buy it good ole 38! happy new year! And for those among you that don't have such holy respect for patents and editors... enjoy! [ December 31, 2005, 01:16 AM: Message edited by: Moon ]

Here, in the coat, among many other shoddy links: [link deleted] I better go back to lurking for some months, I'm disgusted by the patent-and-copyright-licking attitude of some slaves that enjoy being whipped by the commercial powers that be!

Guess I'll open the coat and show another porn magazine to the babies:

Then I guess you should "sentence" me. Please do Be my guest. Btw, I still understand copyright as "the right to copy"

"links are illegal"? Where? Why? On behalf of the Northern Territories holy legislation? In Europe links are not illegal, maple boy. I doubt you'r so far on the downspiralling slope, over the pond, that already have links that are 'illegal', but it wouldn't surprise me seen the pavlovian intensity of your pro-patent feelings. You dislike the very fact that these books ARE on the web? Not much you can do either, I fear. You seem really to be one of the doofest persons to grace our race

Copyright is Aberglaube

I deserve to be "sentenced" for pointing out books that are intersting for this community and are freely available on the web? Books that I did not put there? Books that people that don't have as much as of somebody else would -maybe- like to read? (Despite your beloved "patents") You should look at a mirror and have a good laugh. I, for myself, understand copyright as "the right to copy"

You have a funny way of understandig the world. I couldn't care less about popularity. I just point out that all these books are available for free. When I like something (like CMBB) I buy it even if I could of course download it complete and for free from the web at once (as I am sure everyone knows). I didn't read all these books (yet). I'll read them when I find the time. Should I like them, in electronic format, I'll buy them on paper. Authors will probably get more, not less from people trying out something that they wouldn't have bought anyway if they wouldn't have first seen it for free. Samo samo with music, btw. Those making money are (mostly) just the publishers, editors and patents holders, not the artists. Those pushing for longer and longer "copyrights" periods (from 40 to 100 years and counting) are those that want to steal more and more people money, not the artists themselves, the scum that exploits artists. I'm happy that the web gives everyone anything for free. Thattaway everyone can check the crap that is sold -beforehand- and buy only things that are valid and worth. Some books are crap. Some are good. Let's check them, as we would do in a library. You know what a library is? Patent enforcers would probably like to shut them. "What? Books for free? Are tehy kidding? And anyone can read them?" And thank to brain-handicapped like you they will probably manage it. You'r dead wrong (as you usual are in all your posings) 'everyone else' is not paying (unless convinced it is worth). Just gullible canadians like you pay whatever someone dishes out. I don't, I won't and if this means being 'a thief', as you say then I'm pretty proud of it. Note that I refrain from insulting you as much as you deserve.

Because I don't give a dead rat **** about patents and I despise patent enforcers. I suggest you buy them, if you so please, while other download them for free if they so please. It's a 'present' to this community, for god's sake. Why shold people that invest so much time and knowledge on WWII not pick what's available on the web for anyone else (but canadian patents lovers)?

I tend to agree with NameUsedBefore: you can 'reverse' a scenario out of the position and composition of your forces and of the landscape: after having played many scenarios you kinda 'get the idea' if you have so and so many pioneers, then. If you have so and so many smgs, then. If you have a wald there and a hill there, then. So quickbattles are more challenging (of course with ai assigning forces and a lot of random things).

And another couple of WWII-fact-books, for Panthers' lovers (gimme instead a gaggle of T34s anytime): [link deleted] (heavy: 63,4 Mbytes) and [link deleted] (very heavy: 151,8 Mbytes) Enjoy! [ December 31, 2005, 01:19 AM: Message edited by: Moon ]

Well, dunnow (and don't care) if they are in the public domain... they sure are in OUR domain now For more links see my post on the CMBB forum. funny that noone deigned to say 'thanks' :-(

Forgot to wish everyone a merry Xmas (or whatever) and a happy new year, and posted part of this on the new "CM-BigJim" messageboard (and the whole bazoo also on the CMAK one, so that they'll learn what they miss not playing CMBB It will be anyway -I believe- more appreciated here Happy CMBB wargaming (with the soviets, of course) [links deleted] If you want more you'll probably know where to find them by now Happy 2006!
