That. My sentiments exactly. Historical realism is much more important than balance.

Good job!

That would most certainly be my number one. Problem is the Finns used a large variety of vehicles.

You're a busy man, JM!

Even their marching songs sound alike. Take Augen Gerade Aus for example.

If only. It's a bit of an obsession, especially since the world is a very small place at the moment. I know it did you a lot of good though.

Wasn't their helmet based on a design made for the Wehrmacht too?

Really, Phil, you're all over the place. Where do you find that energy? Personally I'm recovering from a CM burnout after all the delay with Fire and Rubble.

I've just read the Germans developed a new camo in 1945 for both Heer and Waffen SS uniforms called Leibermuster. Pretty ugly, but it would be a good idea for a mod.

Who cares about uniforms? You're one of us!

Impressive. Thank you.

Especially the ww1 guns and horse troops at Woolwich barracks were magnificent to see. Painful to see that generation go.

Watching the gun salutes for Prince Philip at this very moment. Smart British uniforms. May he rest in peace.

First thing I will do is adjust my scenario and finally release it. And playing with all those upgunned 251's and 234's. In the snow.

Then let's do that! No more politics. We should all know better than let our emotions take over. Very stupid of me.

With the same reasoning you can indeed condemn the whole red army, but let's end this argument and return to Fire and Rubble.

The bravery of the Russian and Allied soldiers is not at dispute. Nor are the German crimes. What it tells me about the men who fought on is that they didn't want to end up in Siberia and have their women raped. As simple as that. But let's leave it at that. We don't want this thread closed and I also see your valid points. If you feel like putting me right some more, you can pm me and we will continue this conversation in a civil manner.

Nowadays people think that every German soldier was a war criminal or camp guard. They know little or nothing about ww1, Versailles, the conditions of a merciless war or the criminal side of communism. For the average American ww2 is a series of awful Hollywood movies. So yeah, the power of pop culture indeed. Btw men like Heusinger and Speidel received their NATO positions because of their (partly justified) treason during the war. Apart from that the Americans always have been prepared to make friends with anyone they could use for their own interests. After all the Uncle Joe nonsense during the war the positive view of the American people about Russia had to be changed, so the Germans became useful again. Not very styleful perhaps, but a very necessary adjustment at the time.

...more delay.

Besides I think there ain't such a thing as an open dialog with Steve. A monologue yes, a dialog no.

You may have a point there. Sometimes I'm too sensitive.

That must be your Viking blood. Personally I think it's pretty immoral.

Well...well...(running out of arguments)...life is not just about money, Steve!

BornGinger, is that from a book? And if so, which book?

For those of you who read German I can recommend the book/kindle series by Walter Mönch on Amazon Germany. Short stories, but well written.
