War Quotes

[Commander Stormwolf]

list some cool war quotes


found one from a movie about hannibal

"the romans are trained to fight in one way only, that makes them predictable
- we'll present them with the unexpected, and watch them fall apart"

[ilovestrategy]

There's a quote I heard. "Hannibal knew how to win a battle but he did not know how to win a war".

Commander, you know how to add a mod to a steam account? I lost my disks years ago and got RTW off of steam the other day. Sucks not having a mod, the vanilla game is not playable anymore.

[Commander Stormwolf]

once i dropped my RTW discs and bought a steam account for it. result = forgot the steam account name and bought the discs again

must be getting old..

[Commander Stormwolf]

also couldn't install the RTR mod into the steam version, need the RTW gold discs.. those are the best

though they might be out of print by now

"War is regarded as nothing but the continuation of state policy with other means".

Karl Von Clausewitz

[CaptDave]

Don't know if it's word-for-word authentic, but I've always loved this one from the movie Patton:

"No b*****d ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor, dumb b*****d die for HIS country."

"We are going looking for trouble. I expect we'll find it". Captain Tennant - HMS Repulse - December 1941 [:(]

[Justus2]

One of my favorites is from Eisenhower:
“In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”

So true in this game as well! Many things change so you can't follow a plan to the letter, but the understanding gained from the process will allow you to adapt and develop new responses quickly!

Thanks, I will look around for the gold edition.
