"Knocks on wood" I actually know nothing of Suvorov... I'm surprised the quote wasn't "I have no Vatutin, but Rokossovsky is my Bagration." Anyway was this quote in reference to the pincer movement for Minsk? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a highly anticipated game by the makers of The Witcher games which was released in December in a laughably unfinished state. It's gone through a few rounds of patches that kind of fixed it up a bit and while it's not groundbreaking or anything the setting and story are very well done. Really scratching that sci-fi itch I've had lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Suvorov and Bagration were highly respected russian generals of 18/19th century. Alexander Suvorov - Wikipedia Pyotr Bagration - Wikipedia And AFAIK Stalins quote was in reference to Rokossovskies talent to handle organization of extremely complex kinds of action as in Operation Bagration and the subsequent annihilation of Army Group Center in summer 1944 but can´t find a direct reference for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly Probus, Star Wars is like Harry Potter. After watching it you wonder what you know more than after watching the previous movie. It's like a promise that's never fulfilled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I liked the Harry Potter movies and then my son suggested I read the books. The books have so much more in them. They were great. My nephew told me about the new LOTR series being done, but I digress. Closer to topic though, I finished Team Yankee. Awesome book! Gonna read The Third World War next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almac Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 We have to take ownership over the fact that we have a forum full of some of the best strategists in gaming and yet we are unable to produce any actionable intelligence on when FR will be released. What we need is solid intelligence. We got to cultivate sources. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process of giving it a second try. A buddy tells me that it's fantastic starting season 2. Season 1 has been OK. He knows about my experience with Stephen King's Dark Tower season and he said to think it like that. The first book in the Dark Tower series, Gunslinger, is almost unreadable to me. The rest of the series is some of the best stuff that he ever wrote. It took 3 tries before I liked Game of Thrones too.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probus Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) I tried The Expanse twice and kept losing track of what was what, so I read the book. Third time was a charm. One of my favorite SF series now. Really looking forward to Dune later this year. There are some really epic episodes of GoT. Like when Denarys ‘purchases’ her giant army. Also when her dragon attacks the columns of troops later in the series. Edited March 31, 2021 by Probus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornGinger Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 When I began to watch The Expanse I wasn't very impressed and feared that it would be something similar to Star Wars or Star Treck (I never watched that one because of the obvious plastic used for the aliens). But later on it seemed somewhat interesting which later on changed to me liking it. But this thread is about Fire and Rubble so that's it from me about SciFi tv-series and films. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdeath Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 At this point I think some believe that Fire & Rubble is Science Fiction as well ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
