ParaBellum Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Abstraction. Same with infantry close-assaulting armour. The "throwing an AT mine" animation means that one of the guys is actually running up to the tank, placing the mine on the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just threw the satchel charge up through the ceiling, and the Germans blew to bits. I guess it was an abstraction of "run up stairs, throw satchel charge, run down stairs like hell with fingers in ears". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 With 20-meter grids, you have to abstract a lot of things. I sure hope the next engine goes to 5 meter grids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was an abstraction of "run up stairs, throw satchel charge, run down stairs like hell with fingers in ears".Actually it was an abstraction of the following: Scene I: Heroic pioneer squad of the Red Army of workers and peasants in a large building. Artillery shells explode outside. German voices and MG fire is heard from above. Serg.Iwanov: "Ha! There are some Hitlerites hiding on the second floor, let's give them a present from comrade Stalin!" Priv.Chenya: "Comrade, give me the chance to slay the fascist beasts with this satchel charge!" Priv.Borissow: "Pjotr Alexandrowitsch, this is a brave offer in the best tradition of the heroic defenders of Stalingrad! Have a sip of Vodka here." Priv.Chenya: "Thank you Iwan Stepanovich. And if I get killed in this act of defense of the motherland, please send my wife and children this letter. Za Rodina!" The squad begins to sing the soviet national anthem. A red banner is unfurled, Priv. Chenya takes the satchel charge and runs up the stairs, a vision of his beloved Tanya in his mind as he hurls the explosives into a group of totally surprised German soldiers.

Mikser Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Oh my God, that is so beautiful and poetic. Of course,Pjotr Alexandrowitsch is doing only what every good Socialist should do - to do any other way would require one to ship oneself to Kolyma to further study the Great Historical Dialectic as it was propounded by Lenin and Marx and as it was refined by the Great Stalin.
