    To Soddball - bolt action K98s remained the standard infantry weapon until 1945; automatics became more prevalent but in standard "line" infantry units I doubt they outnumbered the bolt actions. There are great photos of the German Army marching into Aurich, Germany after the surrender, fully armed - PFs are much in abundance but so are K98s.

    Cheers.

    Oh, and if someone can email me the 1.01 executable, I could get a turn out.

    Sent, maggot. Send me that Cheery Waffles scenario. This one's coming your way, W&C. </font>

    "What gives??!? :mad: "

    "Oh, it looks like our importer doesn't have the Antec AMB case+power anymore. redface.gif Would you like to buy a 30 Euro's more expensive model?"

    ...which I, after considering it over, did, but anyhow: Why The Hell Didn't Those Maggot Bastards E-Mail/Call Me IMMEDIATELY When They Realized They Couldn't Fulfill My Order??? :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Because they're Snarkers.

    You should have bought a computer from me. My computers rock.

    I hate UBB.

    @Bigduke6: If you take six T-34/85´s I think it may be rather bad odds. If we´re talking about the standard T-34 type, then the odds are in my favour.

    But I managed a while ago a rather impressive number of kills with a Panther A: 3x T-34/85 M44´s, 2x SU-100´s, 4x T-43 M43´s, 2x SU-85´s, 1x T-34/85 M43. I WAS on the defensive though, but only because I couldn´t go into the offensive as 4 times my number in tanks came rushing at me... ;) I have screenshot made, but I think you won´t believe me even if I sent to you...

    The point Mr Duke is making is that Soviet armour production was so far ahead of German armour production (in terms of volume) that a Panther would rarely be facing off against a single T-34. Fighting standard T-34s, you are clearly stacking the odds in your favour. Their 76mm guns cannot penetrate the Panther. Historically, under those circumstances, your lone Panther would probably be overwhelmed by a battalion of infantry and a huge artillery barrage.

    Ah, once again Soddy has pierced to the heart of the matter? How comes you ain't on my list of people I never send turns to, Sockpuppet?

    Probably coz I iz suffering CM burnout. Started playing again a bit, finishing off some scenarios (Inferno, Forward Recon and Bidberg Heights now all at the Scenario depot and more to follow) but not really playing enough. Now I have the 1.01 executable again I can probably finish off some games.
  7. The bridge in the background is interesting, definitely been blown. There look like two spans, one broken in half and the other in the river.

    The soldiers are also all carrying rifles (I think) which suggests that it is early war - weren't automatic weapons more prevalent as the war went on?

    Can someone make a suitable scenario for a "Smope eviscerates Dave H"

    Yeah, yeah, big talk just like Mike Tyson was spouting last week about his opponent. Wasn't it something like "I'm going to gut him like a fish"? Anybody else see how that worked out for Iron Mike this weekend? Seems like I saw a picture of him tangled in the ropes. tongue.giftongue.gif

    Lotsa elite flame throwers and crack TNT chucking devices?

    :mad: Pretty Please with TNT slathered on top? :mad:

    I suspect we could always crank up one of Soddball's cursed "Inferno" scenarios. That sounds like what you're after. How about something with nothing but flamethrowers and assault guns in the fog? Maybe we could include bazookas and panzershrecks, too. You know, something to really showcase our "realistic" tactical skillz! :D:D </font>

    Stop being a renob! And understand that WWII games and there references are historically correct. (for the most part) When they are not accurate it is quickly pointed out and given the proper understanding.

    So you go read your Hitler diaries and Reference books and I will continue to watch the history channel and read on this forum as well as play my games.

    You come to your understanding and I will know the truth!

    There is knowledge on this forum! People like Jersey john and many others who have all the facts.

    I have read some of your post in the past, you are like a resounding gong, boring!

    And for those of you who do not believe that God was a major factor in the war you are foolish!

    Look at the countries that believed God would pull them through.

    Do you honestly believe that the RAF could of done what they had done if there was no God?

    So your understanding of WW2 comes from computer games and the bible. Well, I take it all back. :rolleyes:

    The Russians whipped the Germans. They crushed them, utterly. They would have beaten the Germans on their own. They had no regard for casualties, they just fought, like maniacs, for 4 years. They had help, significant material help, from Britain and America, but their manpower and their diligence was all their own. They had no god, and they won.

    Deal with it.

    I feel comfortable knowing that imbeciles like you are in out of the way places like Alaska where you can do no harm. It's only a shame you're entitled to vote.
