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.Originally posted by junk2drive:[QB] aragorn, I believe someone is working on a Magua mod for CMAK./QB]

Why do it? Because the Soviets could afford lots of casualties, the Germans couldn't.Originally posted by Bigduke6:Bacteriological weapons make little sense if the other guy has better health care. Diseases don't care which army they hit. It might have made some sense for the Germans to spread a disease, but the Russians with their weaker medical support? Irrational. You hurt yourself more than the other guy. If you are not suicidal, why do it?
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.Originally posted by Bigduke6:Of course, if the task is imagining senseless things imaginary and senseless Soviets may have done, we may be onto something.

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.Originally posted by Soddball:I think it's extremely unlikely they did such things. Where in 1930s and 1940s Russia was there equipment capable of mass producing and distributing bacteriological toxins?
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...Originally posted by Talk'scheap:wow i can't belive someone who plays this game and posts on the forum even HAS a girlfriend, let alone someone who plays the game , posts on the forum AND makes mods...congrats.

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.Originally posted by Panther Commander:[QB]For those of you that rarely do reviews or have never done one. Just do one a month. Think of how many reviews that would be by the end of the year if everybody that came here to BFC just did one review a month!/QB]

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!

Excellent indeed. Any chance on a Pz IVH perhaps?
-
Very, very nice indeed. Especially that Pz IVH! Keep them coming!

I've just received my copy of 'An Infantryman in Stalingrad' written by Adelbert Holl, a 23-year-old Leutnant who fought in Stalingrad in the 94th I.D., translated by Jason D.Mark and Neil Page. Well written in the same tradition as 'Death of the Leaping Horsemen' (24. Panzer Division in Stalingrad) and no doubt a good source for making scenarios. I recommend it. Not many books like these around. If you want the real thing, you've got to read this book.

Looks like a well researched and interesting operation, KG, thanks for your work and thanks to the people who helped you. One of my favorite periods of the eastern front. Keep them coming!

Forget my post. It now shows 44 times. No problem there then.
