RE: Looking for opponent

Long time not played against human(my last post on Matrix is 2003...
if still interested I'm your man - I like to start in 1941, don't like scenarios after 43 (too unbalanced). tell me what you prefer to play (German or Soviet) and I'll e-mail you.

German helmets gave a far better protection. In the end, that shape became the one now used everywhere....<br/>
