Tom w try going up against a Char B in a Pzkpw II . The Germans suffered about 60,000 KIA in the 2 months of the France 1940 campaign. After the British evacuated the French put up quite a fight.

LOBO - The Eastern Front IS World War 2!!!!!!!

Was just having a browse of the CV page when i came across some pictures of the crew and I just have one question, Is Freelancal related to Saddam Hussein?

Aha Mr Happy, so thats where the greens come into it!

von shrad and ss_panzerleader :- You actually admit to liking cabbage!!!! My hats of to you

Windows 2005 will have to have a choice of 10 different Englishes now.

I am reading 'The Recollections of Rifleman Bowlby' at the moment. I am only halfway through yet at the moment it seems to uphold the 15% figure for the British Army to. Rifleman Bowlby has been in several engagements so far and has still to fire his weapon . So far the smartest person in the platoon is Coke. He continually deserts and has now been sent of for courtmartial. His philosophy is that 2 years in prison will keep him alive while the rest of the blokes in the platoon will probably get killed in battle.

Von Lucke- sounds like all four corners of that foreign field are forever England

HEEHEEHAAAHAAHEEHEE You just have to do the Death Test. Q. How often do you had team sex? I must say I was surprised at my longevity, I won't die until June 12 2043, at the sprightly age of 70. Must say I was curious as to how they worked out the 6% chance of Alien Abuduction on that date. Speedy

A wombat is something you do not want to run over, believe me!

CM 2 and 4 been covered prety well, now lets try CM3-Bloody Flys!

Just to add a bit of fuel to the fire Quite a few years ago I read in a book (forget title) that 9 out of every 10 German casualties suffered during WW2 occurred on the Eastern Front. I am not sure if this was just ground forces or if it included air and naval forces as well.

WooHoo I've done it again, I've made Member for the second time, Yahhoooooo

2010? Gotta hand it to you Major Tom you are the most optimistic person on this board

Some more figures here with regard to WW1. Country -- Total Casualties -- Total Embarkations -- Percentage British Isles -- 2,535,424 -- 5,000,000 -- 50.71 Canada -- 210,100 -- 422,405 -- 49.74 Australia -- 215,585 -- 331,781 -- 64.98 New Zealand -- 58,526 -- 98,950 -- 59.01 India(native) -- 140,015 -- 1,096,013 -- 12.77 [This message has been edited by Speedy (edited 03-31-2000).]

Might not have been smoked but you did lose. You did not achieve your objective of installing a US friendly government before you withdrew due to the opposition of virtually the entire population of Mogadishu.

That no-one has mentioned the advent of the 'Lucy' spy ring as determining the end result of WW2 I find amazing.

Which pill have you got right now?

Most of you seem to think that US forces conducting military operations against China would recieve support (basing etc.) from regional governments. I do not believe this would be the case, as most people in the region know that within the next 20 to 30 years China will be the dominant superpower in the region. It would be unwise to antagonise this future superpower by giving active support to a nation conducting military actions against it.

Josh- Have a close look at the Syrian campaign, The Vichy French troops in Syria actively resisted "Liberation" by Commonwealth troops.

Fionn where are those nukes, look do it now and we will get more than one

Sorry for going of topic Cpt. Just on my mind at the moment as I am reading a very good book about an operation in Somalia. For anyone interested the book is called 'Black Hawk Down' by Mark Bowden isbn 0-593-04538-6 . This is quite a good book pretty much a comprehnsive collection and sorting out of the accounts of those involved on both sides. Foobar as for your comment I suggest you have a look at this book, I have never heard of Meals on Wheels basically going in and shooting everything thats black and has two legs! Sorry again for that now back to topic. As far as I know the most important decision Hitler made in opposition to his generals was to give a no retreat order to the eastern frontin Dec41/Jan42. He later gave the same order at Stalingrad basically disallowing the 6th Army to make a breakout attempt. Must admit though that Goering had a lot to do with the second decision as he promised that the Luftwaffe could keep the 6th Army supplied by air.

O'kay going by the principles expressed in your reply MT why did US invade Somalia, what threat did they pose to the US? P.S.- Not having a go at you, just curious to here what you have to say?

I must say it does amuse me to some degree. The main character in a movie dies and this delivers a bone jarring shock to the born and bred Hollywoodites. NO NO Tom can't die he never dies.. WAaaaAAAAAaaAaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.
