      I tried the demo for whatever version it is they put up end of August/Beginning of Sept. and was pretty amazed. I hadn’t done any videogame hockey since back in the Intellivision days. It was beautiful looking and I was amazed it all the detail but I’m not really a sports videogamer.

      Is this your first one from the series or are you a die hard upgrade every year sort?

Suprised to see me, cyans, and admiral thrawns 1939 Europe scenario game still number in posts  :mrgreen: I know I kinda slipped away from AA and all cause I had alot of things going on, I even had to sell my boards at our garage sale cause I needed money. But I kinda wana play a game or two again and go from there. I don’t have a board anymore of any kinda, however I do still have my old AABattlemap thing I downloaded so I have a virtual board and I’m sure that’ll still work right?

      O

      Thank you Flanshman. FINALLY, someone who speaks out against the Soviets atrocities. 21 million murdered in Russia alone. Their “labor camps” people rarely returned from. When The Soviets began raping and murdering axis refugees after the war, American soldiers happened to be present. At first, when out soldiers tried to stop it, the Russians turned their weapons on us. Finally, the soldiers began opening fire into the air and a Soviet commander had it stopped.

      To save face in front of us, that commander had a number of his men hung on the spot.

      I do however disagree that the holocaust interfered with the war effort on a significant. My backbone to this opinion being that many camps were bieng used as slave labor for profiteers. Inmates were helping not only the manufacturing of war goods such as clothing, shells and aircraft, they were also used in other companies such as Germanys main porcelain concern.

      Suprisingly, Himmler actually suggested that skilled workers be fed and housed better but this was not really followed.

      Gewehr

      Me and my A&A friend have bin playing Europe at War on the ABattlemap. There is oficial rules, but their realy complicated so I sort of made up my own rules. All in all though it’s very similar to any other A&A, just altered IC costs, movements, and I added in those square things as fortifications. We’ve bin playing for about 3-4 months now (France refused to give in).

      Anywho, heres the sit rep: I’m the Allies and I’m in deep trouble. The Italians after the whole game of being held off smashed through Al Alamayn. The UK had almost no reserves and wass easly pushed way back. Qatar is the only outpost left in the SE end of the map and will probly fall soon. With that the USSR is being threatened from the south now. the Battle against Germany is turning into a complete standstill with the germans with a slite edge. In the west, America is only creating a minimal effect as it can’t get out to the UK cause of all the Axis ships. Same with Brits, They’ve made a comeback, but the Germans are still holding them off. Also the UK is getting carpet bombed! The Axis have Scapa Flow so the whole island is vunerable. I got him to stop bombing London and Bristol with AAs and fighters, but it only has mimimal effect.

      I don’t know if anyone can see it or not by I’ll post the map here. I’m at a loss! I thought I could win, but now with no Middle East, the Caucaus being swallowed up slowly, and the Atlantic going no were fast, I don’t know how to get out of this one without some miricale.

      EDIT: Alittle change, He threw some 60inf 30art and 20arm at Stalingrad so thats gone and surounded the lower Caucauses so no their completely gone…I’m screwed arn’t I

      @Gewehr:

      : Why do the Germans have no fighters? To me they should atleast have 1 in the reinforcements box.

      The Luftwaffe was not a factor on DDay!!

      @Zooey72:

      Not counting the atomic bomb, this is the weapon.  Jets, rockets, and big tanks may be sexy; but at leasting doubling the combat capacity of every soldier is a war winner.  The USSR would have surrendered in 1941 IMO, and that would have pretty much ended the war.

      If you seriously believe this then you have, at best, only an elementary understanding of why Germany lost the war. Having the STG44 in the hands of the Wehrhmacht in 1941 would have done nothing, absolutely nothing to address the problems Germany faced in her war with the Soviet Union. A more capable small arm would not have addressed the imbalance in wartime production between the Axis and Allied powers, would not have made Barbarossa any less of a disorganized or disjointed plan of attack, and certainly would not have rectified Germany’s crippling manpower problem that reared its head shortly after the war in the east began.

      Germany was completely and totally outmatched by its adversaries, and no single innovation or change to the timeline is going to give them a chance at winning the war. Many of the problems that beset the Wehrhmacht were endemic to the Nazi regime itself, and you can’t really address those without putting someone else in charge. The problem is that you can’t really do that either, both on account of the fact that if Hitler wasn’t in charge there’s a good chance the war never would have happened and because taking him out of the picture puts leaves you with a tonne of variables that makes it impossible to sort out what could have or would have happened.

      ?

      theres a reason that hajjis use aks. The AK will function even without maintenance, so any idiot can use it.

      M4s are like girls. You need to take good care of them or they will crap out on you. Sometimes the screw you over even when you do take good care of them, 😛 but they are still a beautiful weapon and can drop a hajji from well beyond his own range. I’ll give it to you that the AK has a more powerful round, but carrying an extra mag or two is no problem.

      I think we should have a science thread to post stories on NASA missions and such. exciting time lay ahead, especially that probe going to Pluto and the Kniper belt objects.

      That probe to mars probe that will land on the ice shelf.

      Can anyone actually prove that Castro IS still alive?  I think the last we saw of him was like 2 years ago.  Perhaps Raul’s been running things for those two years, establishing himself while claiming to represent Castro and now says his brother has decided to step down (so he can be quietly burried without fanfare to preserve the communist government?)

      I know a few Rangers and I have a couple buddies that wear the crash helmits.  From what I hear the reactions in the movie were pretty acurate.  I was in the Army at the time and I was so pissed when they showed that crap on TV.  We all thought for sure that it was on Like donkey kong, but our CinC was a little light in the testical department.  At least thats how we saw it.  I was personaly ashamed when we pulled out.

      Anyway if you have the time read the book, I’ve read it twice, damn good stuff, a good insight into the views aof some hard soldiers.  I’ve wanted to try for a combat jack ever since I read it…

      @M36:

      Speaking of Korea though, it is true that South Korea is an immensely prosperous nation, while North Korea languishes in poverty. South Korea became “Americanized” and now places that where once rice patties and dusty mountain roads are prosperous metropolises. ( I know this because my sister is serving in Korea with the Army engineers) Without our intervention, South Korea would have been conquered, and would be no better off than North Korea is under the heel of communism. The Korean conflict was one of our more noble military ventures.

      Sure, military means money.  S. Vietnam had a huge jump in economy when we were there that mostly collapsed after we left.  It would happen no matter where we go.

      However, the state of Korea today has less to do with them being dirty communists, and more with the disintegration of the USSR and a horrible famine during the 90’s.  They simply could not support themselves because their primary trading partner disappeared and was unable to supply what they needed, only to be subjected to a series of disastrous floods and drought.  Of course, it’s not helped by their military-oriented economic policy, but we do similar and still sustain ourselves (but we’ve got the goods).

      But we took a number of casualties in Korea, was it worth that sacrifice of American lives? As a Marine I believe we are all expendable to accomplish our mission, but the call is yours. How many of us will you sacrifice to accomplish the objective? You should be willing to sacrifice all of us. That kind of resolve no longer exists in America.

      Tough to say.  As an elite group of fighters, I wouldn’t send Marines in frivolously.  When it comes to Korea, we are exactly where we were after WW2 (except no skirmishes and such).  So did it do any good?  I guess so, primarily economically.  Are your lives worth promoting the economy of another country?  Are anyone’s?  Especially when that country actually competes with our own?

      But here’s the thing: we installed an unpopular dictator in S. Korea that resigned.  A military coup followed that was just was tyrannical and ruthless.  It really goes unnoticed because the economy surged and we “saved” them from communism.  But I don’t think we accomplished all that much.

      I’m not sure when or where you guys should be deployed.  Hopefully never, but that’s a pipe dream.

      @Imperious:

      I got stuck about 6 times while playing some map with a small village behind a beach concrete bunker. its supposed to be some kind of backdoor air drop to seize the bunker and kill nazis before they can effect the normandy landings. The sight for the thompson is way to large and it just sprays all over the place. Also i cant throw a nade hardly far at all.

      I think NOH airborne was a PS3 import to PC.

      I only like games that originally were PC and THEN made to a console platform.

      oh, sorry then. Yea theres a normandy level called  “OP. Neptune”, but none of that happens for the PS3.

      I know what you mean, it seems like games that are originaly on the game system, turn out horible on the PC.  😢

      War, for the troops who are actually doing the fighting, is not about killing, but rather about surviving today and seeing tomarrow. All soldiers want peace. and Christmas day is the day that christians celibate the birth of the Prince of Peace. 🙂

      I sugguest vector drawing. Easy to edit. No pixelation issues.

      Adobe illustrator is nice.
      You can download a trial version.
      Or you use the free or open-source alternatives to illustrator. I haven’t tried them yet though.

      If you intend to make a realistic map then you also need to download a map.
      This one I think is not too bad.
      Has a lot of the islands.

      I bought a game called Europe at War by Xeno years ago. I wonder if its the same. I remember it wasn’t very good and the only thing it really had in common with A&A was the pieces.

      M favorite game of all time is Soldier of Fortune 2 CTF –- only the gold edition with the MP5… and not the lame platinum edition which took that weapon out.

      Most fun of all time no question. snipers were totally outclassed in that game.
