Are they maps that you could take a picture of and put on a web site? That would be really fantastic to see (and allow others to use).

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s> An excerpt from "Citizen Soldier" by Ambrose:<br/> <br/> "White Phosphorus was horror." Lt. Robert Weiss got caught in a rare German barrage of white phosphorous shells (rare because the Germna supply was insufficient). He recalled the bursting of the shell, followed by "a ...

The bomb blast effect could be a sparkler effect followed by the standard smoke graphic and the sound effect where there were infantry would just be people screaming. Ouch, from what I've read, that was some of the most feared and controversial "substance" used in the war.

<t>The East/West Front series is good, but I could never get used to the level (multiple tanks represented by a single icon) I want the feeling of a birdseye view of the battlefield more so than the strategy map.<br/> <br/> Close Combat is the best RTS game by far. If you like the tanks of CCIII, yo...

<t>Wait a second, I thought it was just a "game"? But mention removing the Nazi stuff and people talk about rememberance and "lest we forget"....? I'm confused. Is it a game or a history lesson?<br/> <br/> If it's game, then nobody would mind putting General Eisenhower on the logo along with Rooseve...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>From where I stand, if you remove the SS soldier and put a Panther instead, you'll receive the very same treatment, particularly if they find out that the tank is German from the WWII era.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> That's a good (if not sad) point.

<r>I must confess I want to advertise the hell out of SPWAW but when it comes to people I know personally, I am unwilling to mention it because of the SS guy as the logo. I don't like it, I'm embarrassed by it, and by no means is the SS guy the whole, half, or main reason I play SPWAW. The SS guy pl...

<t>First of all, nobody was any harder on the Nazi's than the Nazi's were on some of there "subjects". You want to talk about stereo-typing??? I'd rather not and say we did!<br/> <br/> And as for the winners writing history, you are correct, but not in a 1,000 years has such an questionably motivate...

<t>Well, I didn't know that either, but I am curious as to when the last time a Tank fired on another Tank. Was it Desert Storm? Did both sides possess tanks in Chechnea (forgive my spelling) or other recent conflicts?<br/> <br/> When you speak of Spain, and both sides had them, I don't know what yo...

Everything was built around the tank, still is.

Out of curiosity,

When was the last time a tank fired on another tank out of hostility?

<r>I think it's excellent. The quality is very nice.<br/> <br/> It is broken down into 3 parts. Part I covers 1937-1941 to include pre war film, blitzkrieg footage, and battle of Britain footage. Part II covers 1941 to early 1944 with Pearl Harbor coverage, and quite a bit of Operation Barbarossa an...

<r>Is the series on the History Channel different than the 2 DVD disk set I have? It is sponsored by the History Channel but I don't know if it' s the entire series or just parts of it. It looks complete to me! <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/biggrin.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://www.ma...

BTW,

My target would have been Frankfurt, so long as the atomic winds blew away from Wiesbaden.

Excellent point and one I didn't consider. 1945, Germans were considered civilized and Japanese were considered evil little people.

That does indeed make things different. Thanks for pointing that out.

<r>Wait a second, had Germany not invaded Poland, there wouldn't have been WWII, and what the hell would I do with my free time?????? <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif">http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif</URL><e>[...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>As for the Bomb argument, I don't think so.

Or perhaps the western landings...I believe that the Germans would still have gone with Plan B and retreat to the Westwall. Probably would have not delayed the Allied Plans too much but fuel would have been a much bigger problem then.

We are aware of it Rhone, and giving it consideration as far as our plans for the future and how it will affect them.
Thanks

Thanks! Good to hear their is a glimmer of hope for that series.

Anyway, I was just curious. Guess that is simply not possible.

<t>Don't mean to stop the what if situations, but if we failed at Normandy, and the issue still looked in doubt in mid 1945 we would have dropped an atomic bomb on Germany to get them to surrender.<br/> <br/> Those guys had an awesome responsability. Bet they didn't know they were fighting for Germa...
