<r>Ok since the election thing keeps coming up. If you know the United States you will know it is a Republic not a Democracy. Also the electoral votes are in place to insure that the lonely farmer in Iowa can have a fair voice in Presidential Elections. Otherwise the President would most likely be ...

<t>There are two books I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in all these debates to read:<br/>
The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956. By Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn. ISBN 081333289-3. There are 2 Volumes.<br/>
<br/>
Stalin <br/>
By Edvard Radzinsky<br/>
ISBN 0-385-479-54-9<br/>

<t>It is not a personal offense Mist I am just talking about the "what if" scenario. It is a fact that Ukraine wanted out of the Soviet Union and that many hoped that Germany would free them. When I say Russia or Germany this or that I do not point fingers at the Russian people or Germans people ...

<t>I have to make one point here on this qoute sorry I don't know how to do the qoute thing<br/>
<br/>
"where your ancestors lived good on the costs of the Africans they transported there while any other civiliced nation on the world had forbidden slavery."<br/>

While this was a bleak time in ...

<r>Martinov I wanted to apologize for the personal remark about liberal thinking it was out of line. <br/>
<br/>
Of course my feelings on Stalin still stand <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 ...

<t>Wow Martianov your Communist Liberal thinking is showing. If you can compare the US to Stalinist Russia you must be blind or have no idea of the atrocities committed by them. Prison camps???? You mean the people who rape 12 year olds murder and rape sell drugs rob steal and then get pardoned and ...

Well needless to say Russia did not survive Summer of 42 with almost all land taken except for the Baku area. Moscow and Leningrad fell before first snow fall.

Nice Ed,
I have just downloaded but I was just watching the Why We Fight propaganda films last night and was wondering what would happen if Germany would have Liberated the Ukraine instead of destroying half of it and got all of the Ukraine behind them. Guess I will find out shortly.

Sounds more like a bunch of politicians talking to me instead of a High Command. They do tend to contridict each statement. Maybe the statements are from different view points or different people.

<t>Marquo,<br/>
<br/>
Just wondering if you knew what happened to all those people under Stalinist Russia? The same thing only prolly worse. Not to mention the Poles Jews and POWs. When we bring in the evil aspect of the discussion I think we would be hard pressed to find which is worse Nazi or ...

Anyone know of a way to get a screen shot in WIR? Be nice to see different tactics being used by folks.

<r>That makes a lot of sense Yogi. I guess loses were my own fault. If I had not won I do believe I would have had russians in Berlin in 44 considering my heavy loses <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/wink.gif"><s>[img]</s><URL url="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/wink.gif">http://www ...

<t>I never took rostov and used almost every Panzer Korps I had to take Moscow after Leningrad Keiv, I never use Hitlers order to link up with the Southern Front.I did make it to the rail junction north of Rostov with little trouble. When they Hit me in the Winter Offensive they hit hard to the ...

<t>I don't think sighting one ace that had a natural ability in air-to-air combat changes the much. Germans Aces in the EAST <br/>
Major Erich Hartmann 352 <br/>
Major Gerhard Barkhorn 301 <br/>
Major Günther Rall 275<br/>
That did not change the outcome of the war. Every county had their best ...

<t>It means what it says. I used the Fins a great deal more in this game then I did in past games. I never made any statement on the character or fighting ability of the Finnish army. In the past I seemed to leave them pretty much to their own devices but this time I made them assault the city until ...

<t>Well according to the book Russia's war 133,000 Germans had frostbite, from losing feet to fingers to just sores and such. The offensives in February and March cost the Russians 444,000 loses to the Germans 88,000. This was the offensive according to the book to relieve Leningrad and Ukraine. <br ...

The only time I got not allowed was after I moved my HQ and then tried to bomb something or of course if I try to bomb from or at GHQ or RVGK.

<t>Yes I notice that the russians seem to have a decent airforce in 1941 but in my game they lost over 20,000 aircarft, I forget the exact number. They played heck on my Bombers. And they also had good raids on my airbases they were getting several 50+ aircraft destroyed messages. If I remember ...

<t>I think this version is great. I think it balanced out the game well. The Russians put up a strong fight in the Winter 41 (even though they did not stop the massive attack I used from the north come spring heh). But anyway the only issue I see and maybe not an issue at all is that germans seem ...

Ahmen Neon I agree with you. US never really had to dig very deep to fight. The US had a lot more digging to do before they started hurting.
