_Axe_ Posted December 16, 2003 Author Share Posted December 16, 2003 Originally posted by Becket: Erickson presents Zhukov as the savior of Leningrad, Moscow and, to a lesser degree, Stalingrad, so it will be interesting to read another take on Leningrad and read about Mars. Have you read Harrison E. Salisbury's The 900 Days? For a journalist he does an excellent job with the operational side to Leningrad operations. And, unlike many historians, he manages to keep people involved in his narrative, not just numbers (although there are plenty of those). Salisbury died in 1993. Given the job he did writing a well-documented history in the '60s (albeit primarily from Soviet sources) I'd love to see what he could have done in post-Soviet Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Windsor Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Six PBEM games on the go, three with maggots on this thread, and not a single turn nestling in my inbox :mad: On a completely unrelated note, the lack of CMAK action has meant I've just finished watching the director's cut of Das Boot. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but thought the ending was a bit suspect. I know the film is based on the memoirs of war correspondent Lothar-Günther Buchheim, but I'd find the finale rather more convincing if I knew that it was fact rather than fiction. As there is a strong groggy vibe polluting this thread of cheery waffle at the moment, can one of you maggots of war put me straight?

It was recently republished as a Cassel's Military Paperback. I bought it and Forsaken Army by Gerlach from the same Cassel's series. I could send them to you if you'd like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Windsor Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Originally posted by Axe2121: I could send them to you if you'd like.Wow, Axe, that's a really kind offer, but the postage could be huge and I'm worried your postman would intercept them before they leave the country. I should really invest in them, but stuff like that can be hard to come by if you don't use the wonders of cyberspace. I'd love to buy more on the internet, but most of my purchases have to be cash as they're "undeclared"... Having read the review on the link you gave, it appears it's a work of fiction based on fact. I'm therefore guessing the ending of Das Boot is there for dramatic impact ... I'll forgive them as the preceeding three hours were so fantastic Thanks, Teddy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarker Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Axe should've arrived home and made it to the mailbox by now. I'm guessing CMAK wasn't in there and as he cried, he froze to the mailbox. :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I know Axe, in his youthful exuberance, has started a new thread. I just want to keep the entire BDLRM results in the same thread. Maggots! The seventh, and final, BDLRM challenger was 86smopuim. He assaulted with one SMG company, one recon C company, five DP LMGs, two Maxims, two PTRD AT rifles, five tank hunter teams, five 50 mm mortars, two 82 mm mortars, one FO (82 mm mortars), one FO (122 mm), and two T-34 M43 platoons. We fought to a draw. Unlike everyone else, 86smopuim sent almost all of his armor against my left flank. His infantry attacked from the right and in the center toward the factory. I discovered the terrain to the left was more easily defensible against tanks, and destroyed all of his armor. Unfortunately, his excessive TNT chucking and his armor played havoc with my infantry. 86smopuim and Teddy Windsor were the only opponents who kept me from holding any of the VLs at game's end. He caused 88 casualties, more than anyone else. However, since I caused 79 casualties and eliminated his armor, I had enough points for a 54-46 draw. And they all lived happily ever after. The end! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
