Absolutely superb, Patboy, thank you!
-
It IS a lot better, David. Thanks.

One of my favorites, the Stummel, thanks Patboy!

Sergei, there's nothing I like more than a well researched battle. Thanks. Untill now I kind of ignored the Finnish war with the Soviets (not because I'm not interested, even as a young boy I was fascinated by this David and Goliath struggle), in CMBB at least. I don't think I ever played a battle at the Finnish front. This battle is going to change that, I think. I still have some other battles to play (busy life...), but I'm looking forward to this one.

Marvelous, Mikey, superb Pz IIIN! Thanks a lot. Keep them coming!

Great, another fabulous looking Walt Disney-wargame...I've enjoyed Brothers in Arms, but it only stayed on my pc for two weeks...and that's because I forgot to remove it after finishing it in the first week...Originally posted by M1A1TankCommander:The BEST ww2 RTS game is on its way.

Very, very nice, Andrew, thank you very much!

Don't worry, I have two copies of CMBO, CMBB AND CMAK...Just in case.Originally posted by flamingknives:What about CMAK?
How can you enthuse about the series if you only own 2/3rds of it?

I can recall the first time I took a look at the Battlefront website on advise of a friend. I wasn't exactly impressed by the screenshots and struggled on with Talonsofts Westfront and Eastern Front and Steel Panthers. After a while CMBB turned up and although still not impressed with the graphics the demo gave me a sensation of wargaming I've never felt before. I bought both games (CMBO and CMBB)and although many other games followed, these two games were the only ones that stayed on my pc (well, together with IL-2 Forgotten Battles, Steel Beasts and the Total War-series). Nothing can touch CM and I don't expect any future game to beat them in realism or fun. Yes, for me too the best money I ever spent on games for sure.

A beauty! Thanks a lot.

After swallowing my bitter disappointment that this tanksim ain't WW 2-based (I promised myself not to buy it...) I 've changed my mind. A logical follow-up would be a WW-2 version of this engine and only good sales figures will make this possible. I still think the subject for this game is very ill-chosen, but there it is. I will buy it, so I can get used to the engine and prepare myself for the moment a WW-2 version will come out.

Talking sheep.Did you choose your name yourself or was it given to you?Originally posted by Talk'scheap:I heard this other crazy rumor about soviet tactics: when assaulted by the Germans, the Soviets sometimes not only weilded but actually fired their weapons, and even managing to kill some Germans. Jesus christ, that ruthless Stalin!

I guess it must be hard for you to live without the good old fashion censorship, but there's always an alternative.Originally posted by Bigduke6:Or wait...maybe it really was rats were responsible, and Aragorn is putting out disinformation to protect the rats' reputations...yah, that's it, this whole thread is because some rodent paid some one off, and what better place to rehabilitate rodents than in an Internet forum thread about diseases at Stalingrad.

I really would like to tell you what I think, but it wouldn't be polite...Originally posted by Bigduke6:I think it was an biological experiement on both sides by aliens. That would explain all the unidentified aircraft seen by both sides' soldiers in the vicinity.

Make the troops more fanatical, so they aren't going to rout or panic so easily.

Hmmmm, difficult to say. Perhaps this type of bacteria is difficult to analyse, at least to analyse whether it is a natural outbreak or a men made one. The conditions in Stalingrad were the perfect camouflage for such a test. I'm sure the Germans had special units looking for signs of bacterial/chemical warfare, but to suspect and to prove something are two different matters. Besides, perhaps the Germans had their reasons for not making it public. They weren't keen on starting a biological war, eventhough they were prepared for it. It's all possible, or impossible, but it sure fascinates me.
-
And yet it isn't as unlikely as it sounds. Stalingrad was in many respects the ideal area to test such biological warfare. A stalemate, a urban infrastructure completely shot to pieces and not too much civilians around anymore. Of course it didn't stop the German advance, but it might have weakened it. Like I stated before it is remarkable how many German soldiers became ill, even in the first stages of the battle. And such a weapon can best be used defensive, I guess. The reason it wasn't used ever since, might have been the toll it took on the Russian side as well. Besides I'm sure many facts about the war will never leave the archives they are stored in.
Tularemia, if untreated, can be lethal and it would be ONE explanation why so few POW's survived the typhoid epidemic after the surrender of the 6th Army. And yes, I realize the German survivors were extremely weakened by hunger, disease, hardship in open terrain and so on.
It is no fact, it is just speculation, based on some rumours. Why is that so shocking for some people? It is POSSIBLE, just as a natural outbreak would be possible. (Calming down again, taking a deep breath)...Anyway, I did expect more from this discussion.

Yes, well, I must admit that's a good reason to wait. Let's hope someone with the talents to do it is willing to do that sooner or latter.
-
Dey, found your PzIII's, You sure turned into a winter mod expert. Thanks, Bogdan, very realistic looking Panthers, but a little bit too worn compaired next to Dey's Pz IV's. No offense meant, you're both very talentend artists in your own right. And your Panthers look exactly like on the photos.
Dey, wouldn't you consider a winter Pz VG Late? Just a question. If not, thanks for what you've done so far.
-
And while I'm in a greedy mood I might as well beg you to do the Pz III-series. No, even better, do them all!
-
And then how to proceed?If I may answer to this, yes, but before that you must make sure that the map fits into a battle map. [/QB] -
I most certainly do, Dey. They have a nice sharp and clear look about them. I like the whole Pz IV-winter mod-series you've made. They look great on the battlefield. I really hope you will do the same for the Pz V-series. Please...
I really admire your work. They are in my BMP file and they STAY there.

Quite nice, Dey! I must admit I never use the Romanians or Hungarians, but it is an interesting looking tank.
