Anyway, without further adue, Michael Dorosh decided yet again to ruin the fun by criticizing a mod for its lack of historical accuracy.

Try sending Madmatt an email. matt@battlefront.com

The demo is great, but I think BTS could do something about the love scene with the female Russian Partisan. Can't wait for the mods to come out for that one, though!

It's not mid-day everywhere My excuse: at work (where it IS mid-day)!

THAT is hillarious! Great job...oops...guess I should have let the dog out (holding nose).

Any scenario I can manage a win in VoT is still probably my favorite, even though I haven't played it since Beta. Wild Bill has come out with several, though, that are also excellent. Nijmegen also comes to mind.

With this revelation, the Chinese fighter pilot awoke to the fact that his aircraft had been stationary for some time just off Maximus' left shoulder and thus incapable of generating any lift.

Not much later, Maximus received an official letter from the Chinese Government demanding that he...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ...apologize for subjecting the rest of the forum to his nudity.

Hello Spike. Don't let these pogues get you down - I think someone left the door to the Pool open a crack, and they slipped out. Check out the FAQ thread that is floating around the first few pages. It will likely fill you in on much of what you've missed during your absence.

I usually play until I can no longer inflict damage (eg until all of my troops are broken or panicked). Some of my opponents have a sadistic streak and prefer to play to the bitter end, and I comply in those cases

It all boils down to what your definition of the "best" is (sounds a bit Clintonian, doesn't it!). Are you referring to servicability, armament, etc?

Another one that we used to play on the newbies was to have them tap on the armor with a hammer looking for "soft spots" We even had a 2Lt looking for replacement bulbs for the "turn signals". LOL!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Panzer Boxb: Bankruptcy smankruptcy! If we had to produce equipment for a conflict on the scale of WWII then I doubt we'd be caring about the money. Our survival itself would be on the line.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Someone still has to pay for all of those toys, though. The gov't could write out trillions of dollars in IOUs, but only at the risk of completely destalizing the economy. It's pretty clear that nobody can afford a war at the scale of WWII (in terms of intensity, land area and time). A modern war would likely have to sacrifice at least one of these factors (eg have a low intensity conflict over a long time period, or a high intensity, short conflict like in the Gulf).

Crap, Commissar, you beat me to it! Anyway, as long as your member gets plenty of attention there's nothing to worry about
