Unfortunately THIS doesnt seem to be applicable with North Corea. The only way you can deal with it is to let them be, dont break up communication, dont let their people suffer of hunger and give them 2 decades. I am sure this might prevent a second cold war!

well uhmm okay?! Â Â pretty useless last comment! Enjoy life then.. whoever you are!

reminds me of Panzers, well ... if you know what I mean!

Avon, You are definetly worth the milenium google award!

I guess they want to be able to attack North Korea, Iran and Cuba without changing the uniform.. The attacks starts in the morning in NK and before it's evening in Cuba it's over and the soldiers even have time to get back home for supper. good one? Why dont they just use sticky Velcro cammo pieces. So you could creatively choose which colors you'd like to wear that day and how much of it!

still interesting topic. But the uniform is realy nothing to be proud of. It looks... disturbing! Â They should have taken a few pictures from 100 metres away and check which one blends best with the environment! I am not too sure the new one has a great advantage due to its multiple-terrain capabilities.

I hate chatting! And I hate the "oh oh" sound from ICQ!

you got my word!

What I know? I know that Balschoiw came to the message board on sondereinheiten.de , tried to convince the people there of his story, failed (because he was caught lying) and then deleted his posts and left as quickly as he came there. point taken. But there are people here who are "personally" hurt. I am sure you know the difference!

whatever! I just dont want assumptions till the accused had the chance to speak up... untill then it is... well... just assumptions! Â and seriously, nickless, what the hell do you know? (nothing personal. You have every right to speak up in every discussion but step back and leave this to the people he owes something to) now someone please lock this thread untill tomorrow !

I'm not trying to say Bals or you is either right or wrong...I just think he owes an explanation to the community that he lied to and htat has respected him for so long. What was the need/rationale for going throught he trouble of Photoshoping fake photos, and coming up with a "story" for each photo? Absolutely correct Akira. He owes an explanation to us longterm members. Of course the internet isnt the most trustworthy and private way of communicating. But after a few years being here, and having discussed a lot I really feel connected to this board, not to the newer ones, but to you, to raedor, to Avon and all the other loyal members. Would be silly to assume that because this is the internet we cant feel some kind of connection yet. But I want to say that we have to give people a chance. And we know that especially in germany and their rather "secret" participation in the war against terror we cannot expect Bals to come out with the full truth. He dissapointed once, but he is still a grown up man who showed that he is a logical thinker and not a CounterStrike pretender! I simply refuse to give up confidence in him (I know I am not the smartest person on earth to explain what I am thinking but I dont want to hide)

at the moment I realy dont care. Fact is that he IS in a pretty bad sitution, I hope the truth is not too far away from what he told us. I am not gonna offend him nor accuse him I simply want to know the facts, not about him,. but about these pictures and "his" mission in Afghanistan. AND I really hope he is allowed to post the truth here and hasnt got to lie to us again! If the americans are allowed to put so much confidence in their soldiers then we should too! Back on topic, Hamas declared they will not accept nor accept the peace-agreement of today. WHAT A SUPRISE!

same here. but with the pics you're still wrong. read from this post. Fair enough. But that is not the resolution nor size that Bals presented it to us! Jesus people, stop making assumption till he comes back to us. Hope he is fast in clearing things up!

that's not 100% true. on this sf forum they found it on the 6th of january that the pics are stolen and he "came out" on the 7th.i hope he can explain that somehow. if not, i wouldn't mind it, i can forget about that. i hope he stays here, no matter if he said the truth or not. at least for some coop nights  BTW: he came out with the truth that those images are not from Afghanistan. Noone else determined that.

we will see who is right! I stick to my attitude that I trust people untill the last moment. Full Stop!

would you all please shut the fxxx up! And trust me you can still believe what Bals said so far on this forum. He himself published images he thought would be simillar enough to those images he made in Afghanistan. Now due to security reasons he didnt post the actual pictues but those taken on a different mission. Now every smart person would have guessed that it would take him months to get clearence for the real pictues and he would never risk his job nor to be sued and post the real Afghanistan images here. But of course the OFP-community was so horny for real images and indirectly pressured him into posting at least "something". Â He did so but never told us that those are simillar but not the real pictures. And for the newer ones on this forum: dont even dare to question or criticise Bals since he is one of the loyal and trustworthy forum members since years and gave us many insights into military operations. He never asked for attention or recognition but simply responded to our desire to see something from afghanistan. He himself came out with the truth and you shouldnt forget that the one who posted these images in a different forum is the real bastard (sorry for my language). Now get back on topic or I call Al Quaida!

I use none, thanks for reminding me that these things exist.

how are they constantly able to increase every goddamn budget? in my country every important budget is constantly being shortened!

changed business, one year ago you could have added me to a lot of strange places... Damn, all my exotic bonus is gone! Â Â Now I am just a boring german living in germany! How normal,average,mainstream,unadventurous! Still want to know who these 9 morons were that voted against Bastler's great MapLocator!

fully agree, it is breathtaking!

map starts to get full!

because Paris is a tourist rip off. Never seen a capital that is so seperated: districts for the french, and districts for the tourists. I lived there for nearly a year, have family over there and my sister is married to a parisian and settled there, BUT I had a tough time integrating! If you want to get in touch with the "real" France then go to bordeaux, marseille or whatever.. but stay away from Paris!

Caen is a nice city, you should have a look. There is lots to see in the area and you shouldnt focus only on WWII sites! Have been there many times (Cabourg) and I know of one museum in Caen (Memorial Museum of Caen ) that has some nice WWII related stuff! http://www.memorial-caen.fr/portail_gb/hp/hp.asp BTW, does anyone know the bridge mission in Call of duty? Well here you got the original ;)

Bals, would have been no problem to say that these pictures look simillar to the original. Wouldnt have taken a single percentage off from the credibility and tension of your experienced story!. And as you say, these pictures could have very well been taken from Afghanistan. Maybe they are, maybe they are not! Who knows it now? Dont think about it anymore Bals!

holy shxx  if Bals wouldnt have cleared these thing up I bet these pictures would now have spread to 200 different forums and the story would have evolved into a great phantasie stories. I even bet some americans would have claimed these would be secret images of their special Ops operations in Iran!  But who was this schoolboy who posted them? just tried to search google for teflondon but there are too many with that name out there! maybe their mod can give you the IP of the one who posted it!
