ALL CHINESE MALE POPULATION WILL BE SHOT AT ONCE AFTER OUR FORCES WILL MARCH AT PARADE BY MAIN STREETS OF TOWN.

After the fall of some DEI oil base, you commented that all 'saboteurs' that had damaged the oil centres would be shot. It is of course your right to include the real-life (or realistic) atrocities in your AAR on what is, after all, a historical game, but I still decided to stop reading your AAR for that reason. Unfortunately, being a bit bored, I thought to take look at this thread again and found this. It's one thing to try and mimic real-life war crimes to give a more historical feel, but now you apparently feel the need to dream up a bit of added genocide, not enough atrocities in the real war for you? Frankly this is a bit disturbing and while you probably don't care about my opinion on you or your thread, I found this had to be said. I'll come back one more time to this thread to see if you respond to this, but after that I hope I won't be foolish enough to take a look at this rather disturbing piece of fiction you're writing.

hello Smeulders
Thats only were jokes !... It´s a game not a real life. Calm down, please, Excuse me but no were my will to disturb anyone.
Best of wishes.
