Gaylord Focker Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Is it me or in each of these pictures, it shows the Axis in a bad spot. Example the burning Panther in CMBO, and the preview i saw at CM outpost of the Red army platton about to off the unsuspecting Axis soldiers heading their way. Whats the deal? hehe.

CMplayer Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I didn't see Stalin waiting to ambush that German patrol. Just some plain old lovable accordian-playing, funny-cigarette-smoking Red Army Rooskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Leader Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 My son always wants to play either Darth Vader or Boba Fett (or Jango). I say, come on boy, be Luke or Annikin this time, but nope, it's the dark side for him, all the way. Uh, what were we talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMplayer Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 My son wants me to be Jango Fett so that he can be Boba Fett. Or I should be Darth and he is Luke. The latter gets really Oedipal really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMplayer Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 That's easy. The first time they were bad guys, the second time they were good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kump Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 This is a silly thread and I will not dignify it by posting to it. So there. If I did post, I would say the "good side" is the side I'm on. It ain't rocket science. [ July 16, 2002, 05:58 PM: Message edited by: kump ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about sides none of us, or practically none of us, were actually on. It's all about adoration or revulsion at a cozy historical distance. So your solution, which you call simple, is actually inadequate. Hah, got you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did, I would tell you that I can’t dispute your response. I will however restate my point in another way. Its not “good versus bad”, but “us versus them”. And us is always good.

[Wiking] Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 How did we come from Splash pages in CMBB to this?! We all know who the good guys were (or were supposed to have been), let's not be too biased here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaylord Focker Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Us was not Soviet Russia. Ask Patton. The Soviets were an allied enemy that the Germans happend to decalre war on. It was a temporary alliance of both convience and necessity for the US/UK/ and the Soviet Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
