Hi, Stabsfeldwebel: I agree with you totally. But, Rommel did fail sometimes, such as the 1st attack on Tobruk. It is a well entrenched, well supplied seaport, with some warships outside the port. When his small forces encountered city like this, or cautious guys like Monty, he is doomed. Well, if he can gain the air superity , has a full supply and enough forces, then the situation may be different. regards Sgt. H

Hi, Bullethead : Can you tell everyone a short story about Slim to explain your idea about he is the best Ger. of Bri. ?? Thanks regards Sgt. H

Hi,dumbo: Thanks for your opinion, I am very appriciated for that. Following, I am trying to explain what I didn't explain very well in my last post. I am not saying that the Russian learn everything from the Germans, but the "Blitzkrieg". The Germans suffered great loses during the Russian counter- attack in 1944, and finally the German army group center kissed its ass good bye !! (Am I too rude ??) I am sorry that I don't know too much about Japanese general, I didn't see any books talking about the Jap. generals. About Gen. MacAuthor, as I know, he lauched a dare amphibious landing at a seaport near Seoul, except that I don't know much about him. Because I am focuing on the Blitzkrieg, which was performed at the Europen war zone, not the Asia. regards Sgt. H [This message has been edited by Sergeant Huang (edited 01-07-2000).]

Hi, Berlichtingen : I would like to know why you choose Brad, can you explain for your idea ?? oh, Alex, too, please !! regards Sgt. H

Hi,Knaust: Can you start this topic as a new one. Since this topic is not the same as the original one. Oh, allow me to ask you a question. Do you know when was the kurst bugle formed ? Sgt. H p.s. Absolutely no hard feelings between us, even neither of us is right !! ???? We are just seeking the truth, not arguing about this. Don't you agree with me ??

Hi, Dumbo and Guys : Ok, it is my turn to vote for the best Generals to the WW II. My vote is : 1. Manstein 2. Rommel 3. Guderian Below, is my personal point of view for the famous generals of WW II : * Manstein : Offensive skills : 99 Defendsive skills : 99 I think he is the best general during WW II, he took care the disaster after death of 6th army, he withdrew first, then made a counter-attack. What a general !! After kurst, the German were in total withdrawal, he maintained the German line in good shape to avoid total destruction !! * Rommel : Offensive skills : 97 Defendsive skills : 97 He showed his military talent in WW I, and he was really good in pursuit his enemies. But he advanced too fast, once he met guys like Monty, he will have a big trouble. Well, I still consider he as a great general. * Guderian : Offensive skills : 96 Defendsive skills : 96 Almost in the same level with Rommel, but I perfer to be Rommel because of his speed in pursuiting his enemies. However, it is Guderian who gloried the Blitzkrieg, although he didn't invent the idea. He is really the general know how to use the panzers. He knew when to attack and when to withdraw, but Hilter didn't know about that at 1941 Russian winter counterattack. That is why he was forced to leave his 2nd Pz army, what a good news to the Russians !! * Zhukov : Offensive skills : 95 Defendsive skills : 95 With no doubt, he is the best general that the Russia ever had !! But, he somehow learned his tactics from the Germans. However , the artillery division really kicked German 's asses hard !! I really like this idea. If you were Zhukov, whatelse can you do if you face the world's best army, you can do nothing but feed them with your howizer and cannon shells !! * Patton : Offensive skills : 90 Defendsive skills : under 80 I think he the best American general !! Although he has some short comings, he really inspired the US tankers to make a dare advance in the weak German defensive line. As one of his solider said : I rolled with Patton !! About his defensive skills, I am not sure about that, since I haven't read much about his defensive warfare, but, he is not good at defensive I believe. * Monty : Offensive skills : under 85 Defendsive skills : 95 Unlike Patton, he is really good at defense , but he didn't know when to pursuit his enemies with full speed. Otherwise, war in N Africa will be ended earlier. By the way, I think he made some bluffing after the operation Market-Garden, he said (as I can remember) he is good at maneuver warfare(?), I am sorry UK folks, I totally disagree with this. He is way too cautious to be a general who is good at maneuver warfare(Blitzkreig). He took too much time to prepare everything for his attack, when you are increasing the power of your attack, your enemies also have enough time to increase their power to defend . Kurst is the best example to show that if you don't pursuit your enemies when they are weak, if you wait for enough reinfoucement, you are dooming your own army. Since , in the mean time, your enemies also get re- forcement, so, what do you think who gets the the maxium advantatges ?? Ok, this is only my personal opinion, and you are welcome to post your point of view, BUT !!!! No abusive words, nor any anger can be found here, we just discussed a simple topic, not arguing with each other. PLEASE respect other's idea. Sgt. H Male, 32, from Taiwan, now in the U.S.

Hi, Peterk : Yes, I still need help. I open windows Explorer and double click the downloaded file, and it popped up a window and have an error message shown above, any idea ?? My computer has only one OS, and equipped with AMD 400Mhz CPU, 128 Mb RAM, 8 MB AGP Video and HD in 6.4 GB and 8.4 GB each. regards Sgt H.

Hi, Bill : I wish I could do that, but I am kind of computer idiot. Except playing games, you can't expect too much computer knowledge from me. I am sorry about this and you can vote here by typing some text and your own opnition !! Sergeant H

Hi, Knaust : As I know, the Allies can decode the German and Japan coding, so that's why German lost the Kurst and the Japanese lost the Midway. Oh, the Allies informed the Russian, too. Sergeant H.

Hi, BTS & Guys : Can we have a vote for the best general(s) of WW II ?? I am wondering that BTS can set up a page that we (registered user) can vote for it. The candidates must be qualified for the followings (BTS can set its own rules): 1. Must be ranked at least Maj. general 2. No more than 5 candidates from the same country. 3. ----- (any one who has better ideas ??) If possible, we can also vote for the top 5 general(s) with best offensive/defensive skills. Sergeant H.

Hi, Steve : I am running Win98, and this is the only OS I have in my computer. By the way, the beta demo I've downloaed is a *.exe file, not a zip file. So, I can't unzip it. Any other idea ?? Thanks in advance!! Sergeant H
