Sergei Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Steel Panthers Main Battle Tank. The Windows version can be downloaded from Shrapnel Games website. Heh, I was going to mention about that minor breach, URC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Nothing serious, really. He just revealed the full FDF wartime OOB along with deployment sequence, positions and the exact coordinates of all important supply depots. I saved a copy of his original post, so if you want it, I can repost it here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undead reindeer cavalry Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 yeah, right btw have you two read this? hilarious stuff, though not up to the true classics of Socialist Realism in the FDF publications. btw note the date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I didn't know that Ruotuväki had turned into a humour publication lately. I can agree with that ATGM's do not have much of an advantage over Musti in the limiting terrain that so dominates the areas to north of Lappeenranta. But if you just gave all the former Musti men an APILAS (and a couple of LAW's and hey, you can carry an AT mine too...), I wonder what the effects would be. At least the mobility of AT platoons would be improved with the removal of the two (IIRC) Musti's. This is a nice pic, btw. Looks like the rest of the squad has gone inside to have some coffee and pulla. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSgt Viljuri Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 A company clerk! No wonder he is at "Sode" first. Truly humorous topic about that recoilless rifle article, namely, "Musti: vahva, miehinen ja mahtava ampua". Intentional comedy , perhaps! A rough literal translation: "The 95 S 58 heavy recoilless rifle: robust, macho and magnificent to shoot". Absolutely priceless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Viljuri Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Okay, after reading the article about "munkkis" (doughnuts), it turns out that the person on the picture above, is a military band member. EDIT 1: Ach, no he is not.. His insignia is wrong, because the article states that he is a military driver. Where is the wheel badge?

Sergei Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Maybe he is a disguised spy trying to steal a Berliner for closer analysis (whether it is a West or East Berliner; during cold war we bought both from the east and the west). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan_gigante Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I recently I wrote a paper on Giuseppe Garibaldi's campaign in 1860 to unify the South of Italy and liberate it from Austrian hegemony. The campaign was a masterwork of guerilla warfare - a truely interesting subject. But in the many letters written about it from the time period, the authors keep on using a word which translates into English as "manly". So in all these primary sources, people kept on refering to things as manly. The wife, writing to her soldier husband about how she misses him, says that she will be manly and not cry while he is away. Garibaldi, writing about the battle of Calatafimini, declares that "The Bourbon soldiers did not withstand the terrible push of the manly champions of liberty..." It popped up all over. Humorous stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
