Michael Dorosh Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 They're very good, but just one thing - the flag is wrong - the US flag should have 48 stars, in 6 rows of 8. I like the colour photo of the TD especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rommel22 Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Thanx for the feedback! I as looking for a WWII American Flag (48 stars, couldn't find any). The Sherman on the Top picture is from a book called Tank vs Tank. Very good book! anyone alse??? ------------------ Rommel22's War Diarys site. http://rommel22diarys.homestead.com/MyPage1.html "I saw 5 Germans walking down the side of the road, so I followed them for a few yard to get closer.

Speedbump Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Any background to the TD shot? Most of the threads I have read here state that the TD was used in a mobile function to hunt enemy tanks. This one seems to have found a fixed position (pile of shells behind the TD)?

As Rommel22 said, its from Tank Versus Tank, but more specifically it is a representation of the battle for Singling. The scenario for CM is called Singling Shootout.

Guest Rommel22 Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Yeah, Wow, really, it wasn't just Americans, I did not know that! i wanted to do only American one, if you want a British one, go make it yourself!!! Oh and Patton, I just wanted to put in Patton for the hell of it. All other American generels, didn't have the elan he does!!! I think I'll stick to German images since no-one likes the allied ones. Screw it!!!

They just want to be recognized for what they did. I guess I would be ticked off too if I was a Brit/Canadian/Pol/French/whatnot... ahem - I am a Canadian, and I do respect the fact that America was a major contributor to victory in WW II. I don't think each and every photo of "Allied" troops needs to have every single nationality, racial type, divisional emblem and flag in it. The work here stands on its own merits, though I will agree "Allied" is a bit of a misnomer when applied to solely American subjects. I presumed we might see some separate British etc. offerings. However, Rommel, just because others are sarcastic, doesn't mean you have to try and outdo them. Childish petulance won't win you friends. If you want some colour wartime images of Canadians to work with check out my site at http://members.home.net/canuckmain/ or email me and I can find some better ones for you. If you have no interest in them, that is fine too, just making an offer. I wouldn't be discouraged by the sarcasm of others; and come to that, I think the posts in this therad were generally good humoured in nature. Thin skin and artistry don't mix well. Food for thought.

Rupert_2 Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Great work Rommel22.. Wasn't trying to sound to sarcastic about it, but some American art work does look very Hitler Youth looking..

Guest Rommel22 Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Well, some peoples sacrasm isn't funny at all! Jus plain childish, and dumb! Anyway, Sure I'll take a look at your site Micheal, I'll try to make a banner or something for your site, or Not. I'll make a Cnadian image. But, i think I'll go for a Soviet one first. Never made an image for them yet. At least one thats good. I'll go make some Soviet and more German images now, thank you! The other Allied contries will have to wait.
