The USSR numbers come off the Stalin purges and forced relocations, which may have killed more than the war. Absolutely appalling, though looking at numbers in the aggregate is a little bit of a copout. Every one of those numbers was somebody's son, daughter, father...

This is puzzling. The only Allied hamster unit of which I was aware was British: the Queen's South Suffolk Rodentry. They fought first in North Africa where they are better known as the famed "Desert Hamsters" regiment. A very famous unit, the QSSR was created during the American Revolutionary war and was almost wiped out at Islandwana. Maybe this guy is a Skorzeny Hamster.

Hate to disagree with Compassion, but the sad truth is that hamsters did participate in atrocities. Though most SS hamsters served in the Waffen SS, many were Algemine Hamsters, some even serving as concentration camp guards. There are documented instances of hamsters looting and even raping civilian populations (you thought Richard Gere was the first?). Indeed most SS hamsters were merely good soldiers, and many suffered miserably on the Ostfront. Some were used, for example, to clean out the barrels of 88mm antitank guns by running through the barrel. What happened when the gun was fired during this process you don't even want to think about.

Taking the PBEM plunge after a couple weeks with the game. I promise not to cry if I lose. email me klilly@mindspring.com

Last person that tried to get the US to go metric was Jimmy Carter, and look how far that got him.

Yes, the Ratoni division deserted Il Duce like, well, like rats deserting a sinking ship. This is of course in contrast to the SS Hamsters, who soldiered on to the bitter end. One can only imagine what would have been possible had Hitler had the time to fully reequip the SS Viking Hamster Div (or SSVH) with the experimental Maus tank (perhaps this feature can be added to CM2).

This is the kind of sloppiness that's ruining the game. The truly informed know that the SS Panzer Hamster units were never equipped with any AFV named after a cat. No Panthers, Tigers, Pumas, etc. Plus, all Hamster corps vehicles were equipped with hamster wheels assempled in segments on behind the turret. The color of the hamster's fur, however, suggests that this particular hamster was a member of the Hamster Viking division, who came over from Norway in iron ore freighters after the invasion of Norway. Initially, the SS took only light brown color hamsters. However, as the war took an unfavorable turn, you see dark furred and even spotted hamsters in the units. All that said, thanks to Tiger for the advance in this important area of historical research.

I believe that there are criminal laws relevant to what jp is doing. he may want to check this out. http://www.codoh.com/newsdesk/9901293.html
