  1. Hey, not a fair trade, I would have to send you Celine as well... please, take her...pleeease. Besides, Canada custom would still strip search the package on it's way into Canada.

    Net gain, nothing except getting rid of a couple of quesionable talents...hmmm, ok, your on.

  2. It was mentioned before that Canada Customs is very slow. While hoping not to offend anyone reading this from Customs Canada, what the h e double hockey sticks is taking you ? It's a piece of software from a reputable company!!!! Are you playing my game??? For crying out loud, buy your own!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

    We now return you to your regularly scheduled gloating of nations with progressive customs laws

  3. I am currently reading "Fighting in Hell, the German Ordeal on the East Front" An excellant book, very informative. It got me wondering though, where are the masses of Soviet troops that are constantly refered to in the book.

    I am playing a couple of QB's and it gives a differential of troop numbers based on the role (eg: defender/attacker, Assault/probe/ME), but it seems nowhere as numorous for the Reds as the book seems to indicate, or any book I have read on the issue for that matter.

    Is this in order to maintain a playbalance? Is it a performance related issue? (too many troops on the board would slow things down). Are the scenarios balanced to reflect real OB's or to promote a fair game?

    Just curious

  4. HI ,

    speaking of desert war movies, I saw Nicholas Cage in a war movie. He was an Italian soldier out with an officer. (I am not thinking Cpt Correlli's Pile o' Poo), this one must have been late 80'sish

    THe scene I remember is when the officer stopped to take a "break" and was commenting on how regular he was, in fact if you looked at your watch and it was 2PM, you knew where to find him

    For some reason, I never finished the movie or cought the name, if anyone knows what the heck I am talking about, that would be great.

  5. I think the battle for Moscow would have been different. Mussolini's ill fated venture into the Balkans threw Barbarossa off schedule. No Musso, No Balkans, No Balkans, Barbarossa starts on time which gets them to Moscow before the snows. They could have done it. Now this doesn't mean Stalin surrenders, it just means that Moscow may have fallen. It certainly would have put a crimp in the Russian resistance though.

    Also, if Italy had of stayed nuetral, well, we would have one less set of crappy tanks to laugh at. And that , gentlemen, is why I am glad they entered the war
