He does. Glad to hear I'm not the only who sees it that way. Pretty disgusting, even for his (the guy) standards.

Chamberlain did more to prepare Britain for war than Churchill and was far from the fool history made him. Churchill on the other hand was a bankrupt and corrupt war mongerer, who indeed wrote his own history, as he himself predicted. He was despised by many with good reasons.

You've done your best, MJ. Sounds like a great trip. Just forget us for a while and enjoy the mountain air.

Fair enough, Erwin.

There are certainly parallels with the 30's, but I see different ones than you do. For example an extremely dangerous American president who's only interested in money and trade and hasn't got a clue about what's really going on, the Russians trying to destabilize other countries in order to make advantage of the confusion, the Chinese forced into a confrontation because they are becoming too powerful and too successful and last but not least a weak and divided Europe, that needs to understand they are on their own in a world gone completly ballistic.

Well, a lot can be said about attrocities in wartime, but to my experience discussions like this should better be avoided on this forum. Let's leave this subject to rest.

Yep. And don't forget the Soviet partisans were formed before and prepared for the German invasion in order to terrorize the population and prevent them to work with the Germans. Stalin didn't trust his own people and with good reason.The Germans made it even easier for him by treating the Russians the way they did. Chosing between Hitler and Stalin, between the devil and the deep blue sea...

Looks to me like just another propaganda war. Perhaps the US can send some troops from Germany to India. High time anyway for the Europeans to stand on their own feet again.

They look even better than I anticipated! Man, that must have been a lot of work, MJ! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this superb mod. Can't wait to see those guys in action.

You should have, shouldn't you?

Hell. Why not.

There you go.

You mean, you work for THEM?

I trust in this case that's the same thing.

You better... But seriously, delighted to hear the mod is getting better and better.

A 152mm grenade on a steel surface? What do you think they heard inside that StuG? Must have been quite a noise.

Bet they have quite a headache now.

But of course, MJ, please take your time. Beggars can't be chosers.

Superb map!!

And just to prove my greedy nature again, MJ, and pointy nosed or not, I still would love to have those Ghurka-boys too. I know your modesty about your own work, but personally I think you are an artist in this field.

Superb, MJ! Really happy with that and looking forward to use it. Personally I don't mind using a tag for this mod, but that's up to you of course. Thank you for all your work and time!

Mixed feelings about all this. Good to see BF making money and securing their future. Well deserved, business first etc. Less happy since this will inevitably result in more delay and a slower output of games for us. But impressive stuff, that has to be said.

Also read; 'Sowjetische Partisanen 1941-1944: Mythos und Wirklichkeit' by the Polish author Bogdan Musial. A lot of these so-called 'partisans' were little more than gangs of heavy criminals who terrorized the local population and cut up every German or other opponent they could lay their hands on.

Buy it while it is available. Superb book.
