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?

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.

Junk2drive, can the map for Blutt und Ehre from operation get converted into battle?

Get it while it's hot! It looks smashing! Thanks, Dey!

Dey, you are a genius. Well done!

This threat is getting out of hand quickly...I've created a monster! Administrator, please close it!

I also like them. A clear improvement over the originals. Thank you.

That would be great, Junk2drive. Especially the trees are superb.

Why do it? Because the Soviets could afford lots of casualties, the Germans couldn't. It is equally senseless to assume it can't have happened. And there are some indications it could have happened. Whether they are reliable or not remains to be seen. Not everything can be found in history books.

Read the links:"During the terrible Russian civil war of 1917-1921, in which the fledgling Soviet regime defeated the dispersed and divided anti-Communist "White" forces, as many as ten million people lost their lives. Most of these deaths came not in combat, but instead were caused by famine and disease -- especially typhus. Conscious of this, the revolutionary Soviet government early on put a high priority on diseases as a method of warfare. In 1928 it issued a secret decree ordering the development of typhus as a battlefield weapon. In the decades that followed, the USSR built and maintained a wide-ranging biological warfare program. For example, Alibek relates, Soviet scientists developed a sophisticated plague warfare capability, and an arsenal in Kirov (now Vyatka) stored 20 tons of plague aerosol weaponry (p. 166)." The Soviets were better prepared for WW 2 than any other nation. And that's also no myth.

Yes, I agree with you on jaundice, but I still consider it very well possible that the Russians used bacteriological weapons at the eastern front. But you are right of course, there is no evidence, so no facts. It just intrigues me.

Hehehe...I even have a job...

Bogdan, great site that Axis History forum. Very nice source for all kind of interesting facts. Thanks. Bigduke, it is possible that it's coincidence, but I doubt it. Too much diseases among German troops (especially jaundice). In all accounts on Stalingrad it's remarkable how many men became ill. And the fact that Soviet soldiers and civilians were involved too...well, Stalin didn't care one little bit about his own people. It wouldn't have stopped him.

In a vain attempt to impress my girlfriend I showed her a snowy CMBB-scenario. Really enjoying myself I tried to show off even more and showed her how a Stug III could demolish a house with a few shots...Her only remark was 'can you also demolish trees?'...A little bit annoyed I tried that and no...I couldn't...Women...so difficult to please them...

Very nice, Dey!

It always ends up in a mess, but I love big battles Thanks Bimmer, I will give you some feedback in a couple of weeks. Sure looks okay.

I've read that the Soviets used a biological weapon during the battle of Stalingrad. Ken Alibek, a former top Soviet bioweapons scientist, maintains that an outbreak of tularemia among German troops during the battle of Stalingrad resulted from the deliberate spraying of the agent by the Soviet defenders.Tularemia is also known as "rabbit fever" or "deer fly fever," and caused by the francisella tularensis bacterium, tularemia is one of the most infectious diseases known. Since this forum is a great source of all kind of interesting facts about the war I wonder whether anyone ever heard of this before, or perhaps even knows more about this.

Magua's Normandy mods are still unique, even compaired to the new CMETO mod (which is also very, very nice). If I really want the 'Normandy-feeling' I play CMBO. Life would be perfect if we could have Magua's mods for CMETO as well.

Some time ago I became aware that people who make mods must get the satisfaction of gratitude and appreciation. The same goes of course for people who make scenarios. I've started with that a little while ago. I will make sure I keep on doing that in the future.

We are all waiting for a good WW2 tanksim. T-72 looks nice allright, but I'm not even slightly interested in it's background. And I bet that goes for most serious wargamers. The Balkan...for crying out loud....

That's what I was hoping to hear, thanks Mike.

Hi Dey! Nice winter mod. A little bit too bright perhaps, but I like them that way. And a great screenshot as well. Your Pz IVF2 will definitely stay in my BMP file, excellent mod. Thanks! [ June 02, 2005, 11:21 AM: Message edited by: aragorn2002 ]

Excellent indeed. Any chance on a Pz IVH perhaps?
