Hey Canon, Really like them! Decided to go with all your whitewash for my early Germans. The effect is really nice in the game. Thought they might be too bright or sharp at first but after installing the effect is subtle enough! Keep up the good work! Actually as an aside, I won't use the same whitewash for Soviet vehicles. Just looks too much like the Germans in my opinion. I would rather have two completely different looks. Thanks for your time and effort!! P.S. I personally am not into the aerial recognition flags at all, but that's just me. The victory flags are enough swastikas for me! Just MHO.

Sheesh, Slipping to the 2nd page?? BUMP

Must keep the cage on the first page bump.

Can I suggest the next thread title? "Good MasterCheery’s Thread of Waffle Ale" Sorry it's been running through my head for days. :mad: Soddball, I congratulate you on running one of the more "civil" threads going these days.

It is appalling, regardless of the numbers. We can't even truly comprehend numbers of people like this. 5.3 million PEOPLE from a country that size is beyond my rational grasp. I recently watched a program on the memorial for the battle of Antietam. Figures estimate 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing by the end of the day. In memorium they lit 23,000 candles and placed them on the battlefiel, one for each man. They literally covered the field. It was truly mind blowing when you see it like that. Numbers are exactly that, we can't really comprehend that many men until we visually see it. I was awed.

Firefly, Yes, remember that most of those were Polish Jews, gassed by the Nazi's. [ December 22, 2002, 12:18 PM: Message edited by: Lord Dragon ]

Steve's member number is 42. The answer to Life, the Universe and Everything!

Hmmmmm VJ, if I recall correctly you LOST to me the last few times we played.

Hey Steve, I actually emailed the Mad One this morning with my order number and he got right back to me letting me know it was being fixed. Thanks for everything!

Panzer III 50mm L/60. Great armor for it's time and nice gun. German Pioneers, supported by Jager Squads with PPsH's. Deadly in the city. [ December 17, 2002, 02:32 AM: Message edited by: Lord Dragon ]

Only one of the two I received is bad. My order number is on my work computer, figure I will email sales again with my order number for a replacement?

I received my strategy guide yesterday and while perusing last night I noticed that mine must have come off a bad run at the press. I seem to be missing 30 pages or so. My first chapter runs to page 1/52 then goes straight to page 1/85. It then goes from page 1/85 through 2/4, then starts over again at 1/85 through chapter 2. So it appears that a section of pages was duplicated and a section was left out. I did buy 2 guides, one for a friend, and will check with her today if her's is the same way. Just wanted to let you guys know and see if anyone else has noticed this oddity. Also wondering if I could get a replacement. The infantry charts are incomplete and this was one of the main reasons I purchased the guide. Thanks BFC. You guys are still the best.

Hey ParaBellum, don't forget the bad attitudes as well!

Cable.

Yes, I bought both the German Squad Tactics and the Panzer Tactics books, both are excellent IMHO. Guess which side I like to play?

Just looking at one of my save games in Stalingrad. One of my company HQ's has two PPSh's. My pioneers aren't armed with them either. In the pioneer platoon (six squads of 6 men each) there are only 2 PPSh's amongst them. No worries though, German pioneers I have found to be extremely effective in city fighting when used correctly! Whoever said the Germans have a rough time in city fighting hasn't used pioneers yet, I would imagine.

I almost always play the Germans and you will definately see lots of captured PPSh's in their loadout. Usually not more than one per squad. I'm playing through the Stalingrad Pack and you definately notice them. Usually, as well, when a German squad does have 2 SMG's one is a PPSh and the other an MP40, I haven't noticed yet any German squad with more than one, but will keep looking.

My friend translated the second as: I'm doing this to save the motherland below: I'm a farmer holding a rifle so I can have my freedom and free the motherland The fourth one: Everybody needs to have a military education so we can be free LOL, hope you didn't think I was being pro-Nazi when I phrased it as "Now that's propaganda" I just meant they really got to the point! I love these little pieces of history and love to know what the people thought at the time.

A friend of mine just translated the third poster for me! The one with the spiked tiger. It says: Kill German Animals! Hiltlers Army Can Be and Must Be Destroyed! Now that's propaganda.

Thanks ParaBellum, For the new sig that is. [ December 02, 2002, 07:45 PM: Message edited by: Lord Dragon ]
