Germany's unforgivable crime before the Second World War was her attempt to extricate her economy from the world's trading system and to create her own exchange mechanism which would deny world finance its opportunity to profit.

Ohhhh come on! The Marxist historians know too well that the German army was already in deeeeep sh*t in December 1941. Not a single british bomb had been dropped on oil fields yet and USA was not even at war.

I believe the war wouldve been a stalemate for 20 years had the US remained neutral and Japan only attack British, French & Dutch colonies in Asia. Maybe even Elvis wouldve been performing USO shows for Russia, Britain, Germany, Italy & Japan in 1959!

70th Infantry Division
Nicknamed the "white Bread Division" because most of its 7500 soldiers had stomach problems and required special diets, this static division was mustered in on Walcheren Island Holland, on July 17.1944. Cadres of the 165th Reserve Division were also transferred to the division, along with the division were also transferred to the divison, along with the divisional staff, 5th reserve Artillery Regiment. The grenadier battalionss of the 70th were former security battalions. In November 1944 it was attacked by the 1st Canadian Army. The ailing soldiers fought well as it took Montgomery's vetern forces nine days to defeat them.

I could not care less about the discussion. I MUST know what warspite1 mistyped. Does anyone have proof of a mistake he made??? There will be a great reward for such information.

Well, that would be tempting if I had 3 -4 years to spend.....the last game I had was pacific only, without vassal, and it took 18 months.

I see that you were just playing with me nd that's just fine. Your opinion is just that an opinion that almost defies all logic. And if logic dictates reason then the only conclusion can be without the west, Germany wouldn't have been defeated. Take US and the Uk out and you have a statement . Back and forth. You post I post.

SLAAKMAN, you throw down a gauntlet. You should know that I, a hero for Germany, want to think my country could win against the red horde. But we can't.

I think it's still a beta, but in any case it will probably be so buggy to be unplayable

Thanks HB.

I knew Matrix was developing a variant, but was not sure if there was a predecessor ( ex. WitP - WitpAE).

I see guys talking about it, so it must be played some other way than the board game? [&:]

Oh yeah, living on the general discussion thread.

Get around nate. Do some exploring. Matrix even has games, one is free.

Glantz is hardly an author to use to back up many things. Most people consider his books " written from the Soviet point of view ".

They are good reads and full of information but their slant is obvious.

natester - there was a forerunner. It was not done by Matrix and was frankly a bit...er...rubbish, although some people on the MWIF forum have played it. Its MWIF we need as this is pretty much a faithful reproduction of the ADG game - with lots of hot gypsies thrown in.
