You really have no idea how little you know, do you? First of all, it was captured by Allied forces in Germany. Second, the Nazis probably had a couple hundred different flags with Swasitkas on them, to which I will add that probably nobody on this Forum is an authority on. Third, if this is from some other country which uses/used Swastikas, kindly figure out which one would have HUGE red colored banners made around 1940s and in Germany before you jump to such a wild conclusion. It is most certainly Nazi made, most likely for a local political purpose. My guess is, as I said before, some sort of regional/city NSDAP flag. Steve</font>

My spelling was off, sorry i just got in from having a few cold ones.....i meant to say that it is not a German Flag in my opinion. I can't pin point where it is from, but it certainly is not from the nazi party.

I don't think that it even a Gemran flag at all. And i do not beleive that is from the 2nd world war. The swastika before the nazi's got a hold of it was a universal good luck symbol in many cultures. You can find swastikas in ancient jewish temples.

My favorite mod site......i'm loving that Normandy terrain pack.

Your rapier sharp wit is just too much for me. All i was asking was if players could design their own operations for the game, or if it was limited to scenarios only.

I'd like to know the answer to that as well. I guess there's only one way to find out....

I just for the first time started an Operation game with a friend of mine tcp/ip. I had nver played any of the scenarios or operations, only quick battles against people. I am realy impressed with these so far! I will not bother to play a quick battle again with all these great maps and missions to play from! I'd like ot give a pre-emptive thanks to all the Scenario designers out there because iw ill be downloading a bunch of thm in the near future. Does anyone create Operations? Or is that not an option, i was just wondering because eventualy i'll try my hand at making some Scenarios.

Intersting, thanks, i forgot the SU-122 and the ISU-122 were different vehicles, i think thats where i got the misconceptions. Thanks.

They had the industry to support it, it was Alber Spier who did not set the German economy to a war time economy until late '43 that was the problem. You'll notice at the peak of allied bombing raids on German factories, German production actualy increased a large part despite all the massive bobming attacks.

The Soviet assault guns on paper seem like a more effective weapon. (SU-100, SU-122) Why did the Germans stick with the stuggs and stuh 42 series? Wasit only because they had a huge surplus of Panzer 3 chasis and parts? I'm sure the Soviets had a stock pile of BT-5 chasis, but that did not stop them from upgrading. It seems like the German industry had a hard time adapting to new technology, is that true, or is there another reason, ie political or some other factor that cause this? The Stuggs were mnay, an dracked up plenty of kills, but it seems as if they were technologicly and tacticly out classed by their Russian counter parts. For instance, the Soviets did not have a Marder type vehicle, nor did the Allies. It seemed that it was created out of a desperete necessity. Wich in a way it basicly was, but i was wondering if any thing else played a factor in all of this. The Germans had plenty of good AFV's but they seemed to have a bad habit of producing lots of their weakest link vehicles. I'm not saying the Stuggs were bad, it's just i see an SU-122 as a much more versatile and effective vehicle.

Well Croda has just taken the lead in Pennsylvania, i should have campaigned harder there. Croda could be in trouble if i pander to those disheartend Steeler fans.

Well there is the possibility i found the joke so weak that it would have been to easy to toss a few jokes of my own back at Dorosh. At least he's putting in the effort though, i would have given him a gold star for effort if you had'nt eaten the whole strip Croda.

Thanks for your vote Field Marshall! That just put me out in front of Pvt. Ryan's Mom! Iron Chef Sakai is now commanding a big lead with that vote from sunny California.

Probably, but lets hope he votes first. I thought the Grog award was in dire need of a parody thread.

You're just grumbling because you would never win. It's your own fault, really, you're far too non-descript. The key to true Groginess (and I mean capital-G Grogginess, mind, not the regular kind) is to blather on about everything under the sun in a Cliff Claven kind of a way whether or not you know anything about it, but being sure to make reference to the fact that you read a book about it once and here's the author's name as proof and gee look at me with these run on sentences with my brilliance flapping in the breeze. So basically, get with it Fox, or you will never attain the heights of a JasonC or a Michael Dorosh or even a Gyrene.</font>

Oh my mistake, i'm winning in Missouri!!!

Oh, I think the polls will close a wee bit earlier than that... Gyrene</font>

Ok here it is folks...the polls are now open. Who is going to be the winner of the First Anual Combat Mission S.O.B award??? Your vote counts....every memeber of the CM forum, Administrators included are elegible and registered to vote. Don't miss your oppurtunity.....the Polls close On March the 3rd 2002. The voted will then be counted and your winner announced on the following day by your's truly.

I can't beleive you legitimised another dopey LGMB idea by giving it even a semi-serious answer. I too was thinking of suggesting that a "Lord General MB Memorial" award be given. But it had nothing to do with grogs.</font>

My vote goes to Stuka. My 2nd choice was Dorosh.

Impressive........most impressive. I'd like to add more compliments but i'm on my way to cmhq to download that puppy!

They sure are! Those look good! I was thinking of doing that myself. I used to paint lead D&D figures when i was alot younger, and was good at it. Is it similar to paint models?

So this is all you and your friend have to add to this thread? This has what to do with the NKVD again? Now when you mention trollish posts....does yours kind of jump out at you? If i think the NKVD were scum bags, then how does this make me a troll? I've read about them and thier predecessors and what they did turns my stomach. Though they did have arguably the best spies in the world at the time.

So the NKVD were nice people? All i was adding was that they were not soldiers, and i thought they were scumbags. Was i wrong in correcting someone to the fact that they were not soldiers, but an evolution of the Cheka who served the same purpose under Lenin?
