Ginkgo Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Is it just me or does anyone else develop an emotional attachment for thier liitle guys because i always find myself moving my shaken! troops to the rears, hiding my bailed crews and backing up any units under intense pressure from the enemy in an attemped to save lives and so on. Or is it time for me to check in to an institution and surender my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacX Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 It is not just you.. I'll probably see you in the same institution... But, all those men we save, they will remember us, and in years to come, we can all get together, drink beer and talk about the war.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael emrys Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Actually, I don't think you are nuts at all, Ginkgo. Well...er...you might be, but not for this reason. Troops who have taken a lot of casualties and whose morale is fragile are likely to surrender or do something else you'd rather they didn't (like panic and run into a hail of bullets) that will cost you points. So even if you are the most calculating, cold-hearted, unfeeling Nazi bitch, it still makes sense to take care of your troops. Heed the voice of the master: "Be an example to your men, both in your duty and in private life. Never spare yourself, and let the troops see that you don't, in your endurance of fatigue and privation. Always be tactful and well mannered and teach your subordinates to be the same. Avoid excessive sharpness or harshness of voice, which usually indicates the man who has shortcomings of his own to hide." - Erwin Rommel: Remarks to graduating cadets, Wiener Neustadt Military School, 1938.
