BoB isn't supposed to be (and isn't) a true accurate depiction of war. Your problem is that it shows your Germanic warriors in a light your fantasies tell you is untrue. There is nothing fantasizing about attributing Germans with fighting harder than the Allies (probably equal to the British and Co...

After bombing it to ashes. By the way: the 2nd WW made the US the biggest economic power, so I don't think you have anything to complain about. Hmm, I'm still a bit confused as to how this got off topic, but every country in the world benefitted from WW2 because it ridded us of the Great Depression...

PROST! I doubt your media, Baltasar; would have the inside story either way considering the tensions between our countries. But you are correct in that the Armed Forces does use them, particularily in the Air Force to improve awareness and physical stamina. My understanding is that the dosage of the...

Dividing line between civilian and military targets. This is very difficult to define. Is a worker making weapons or a train driver hauling military supplies a civilian? Unfortunately, no they are considered legitimate targets. I say unfortunately because I understand how much it would suck to be b...

Well Henrik, I don't believe by calling the VAT unfair makes it a national and international economic arguement. I'm saying the VAT is unfair to gamers because it's rediculous. I'm not saying I hate Europe in the slightest. It's European Gamers that are annoyed by this; obviously I myself am not eve...

Hey Jez, You're right in that Russia was by no means a peaceful state, and if I'm not mistaken they had plans to invade Germany around 1943. I've also heard of Skirmishes along the occupied Polish border from 1939-1940. My point was that Udentz was rather unfounded in calling the Western Allies evil...

Hi BFC, I agree that strategically Moscow could have been captured with with slight altercations; but I think the Commissar's general comment was that the bulk of WW2's victory was on the backs of the Red Army, with or without the help of Western Allies. (either way, I don't think this topic is a 'w...

Fair enough, Udentz. I respect loyalty and honor as anybody else. I just firmly believe that leadership should meet needs in order to become trusted, rather than demand sacrifice and blind loyalty. It is also something America demands from 'the people'. All nations demand loyalty and sacrifice from ...

I would say that this is a wholly inadequate formula when it comes to the leadership of states - where the ultimate private moral soundness of a leader is a thing of infinitesmally irrelevant nature compared to the enormous consequences of his actions for millions of people. What you are implying i...

Just my own observation Udentz, but you seem very much like a sympathizer.
Then, no Communist Iron Curtain
Remember that the Germans broke a treaty in order to invade Russia. No "taking back old lands" or "fighting enemies already at war with" here.

there is no absolute dividing line between strictly military and other targets I believe there is. Civilian targets are to be left alone until and only if they are used for the sheltering of soldiers. Ironically enough, my own Grandmother's home was destroyed to be made a fortification by the Germa...
