Don't forget The Devil's Adjudant, the book on Jochen Peiper during the assault in the Ardennes by your fellow countryman, the late Major General Michael Reynolds, for me still one of the best books ever written on both Kampgruppe Peiper and Jochen Peiper himself.

No, no, no, Lucky Strike, you gave us already so much of your time and talent! Please don't take it as impatience, when I say that I'm looking forward to more. Next year September will do nicely.... Whatever I can do to help you, I will gladly do, so please let me know. But first enjoy your rest. You deserved it!

I'm not often lost for words, but this mod from Lucky Strike really takes my breath away.....What a superb labour of love this is. Yes, the ultimate landscape conversion for CMBN, that's for sure! Can't wait for the September in the Netherlands mod!

Don't forget the new Panzerkrieg series by the same author, on the panzer units that fought at Stalingrad. Stunning research and lots of new pictures. The first book has already been released.

Since it seems that we can forget about Fire and Rubble until after the Season holidays, I suggest that this is also a good time to re-read books about the Ardennes offensive. The Duel in the Mist-series by Timm Haasler, Roddy MacDougall and Hans Weber comes to mind. Apart from that I've started the Kampfgruppe Peiper-campaign again, which is great for this time of the year. I'm also planning on a self made winter battle in Italy, using MJKerners great Goumiers-mod. Still one of my favorite mods. As I always use to say, there's still so much to explore....

I agree. Few things are as disgusting as rape.

For those interested the links of the book I've mentioned: https://www.amazon.co.uk/1939-War-That-Many-Fathers/dp/144668623X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+war+that+had+many+fathers&qid=1607422628&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Freedom-Betrayed-Aftermath-Institution-Publication/dp/0817912347/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=freedom+betrayed&qid=1607422740&sr=8-1

He was right of course. It is a strange addiction.

Just read the books, Frodo. I agree that calling people with another opinion fascists will cost you less time and probably make you feel better, but from reading books you'll learn more. Apart from that movies like this aren't just good fun, but must be seen in the context of what's happening in Russia. Glorifying war and prepare people for another, are never a good sign when used by a dictator. And you can bet movies like this are sponsored by the same propaganda machine.

I MOST strongly recommend reading The War That Had Many Fathers by Schultze-Rhonhof,it will probably change that point of view. Freedom Betrayed by Herbert Hoover will probably do the same for your view on the Pacific War.

Homo homini lupus.

No, but they most certainly had a main share.

Actually i've read that book and many others, Erwin. I can also recommend Red Famine by Applegate. For me it's a life long mystery why these massacres don't get the same attention as those caused by the Germans.

They never learn, do they?

Perhaps for a change a movie can be made by Russians about the tens of millions of innocent and defenceless people that died because of communism, Soviet occupation and Stalin's malice, the misery and cruelty in the unspeakable Gulag concentration camps, the blind terror of the NKVD, both in Russia and Eastern Europe that destroyed millions of lifes, the deportation of millions of Russians, Estonians, Latvians, Poles, Hungarians, Germans, Rumanians and many other nationalities, the murder by starvation upon millions of Ukrainians etc etc etc instead of glorifying a war for which the Russians themselves were for a large part responsible.

As long as that doesn't result in new delay...

Yes, you did. I remember that now. Perhaps in time someone can make a wall mod with bullet and grenade holes/damage, to make it look even better.

Buildings yes, i know that much. Used it myself often enough.But walls that can be damaged, that's pretty cool. A damaged building with walls completely intact, doesn't look right.

With new pack you mean the new module? Or the new patch?

It's not possible to damage walls, is it?

Thank you, Ithikial.

We are prepared to swear to secrecy if necessary. Great looking church btw. The damage on the middle part is superb. Is there a map on which it can be found?

Indeed. You convinced me. It's quite a hefty price, but I think this is one of those games that's worth the money.

That's censorship, plain and simple. You might as well ban me.
