I'm afraid that one big mutha would result into a fantastic slideshow on a decent computer.. Not a bad idea if you have the required hardware

A lot of information on subject here: http://www-solar.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/~aaron/MODORG/

I like the tracks.

Sounds crazy. Invisible addon cube?

It would be easy to create 100mm batteries, just take the tower of T-55, add a laser range finding device and some camouflage, that's that. Was the T-55 in the demo?

Some coastal artillery would be essential!

Beautiful! We need to have a IL-76 and a few scripts to perform airdrops with this one Does anyone have an orbat of a Russian airborne division?

They found a bug in it and disabled the download Edit: I didn't notice that PSC had posted about this a lot earlier. Hangover has been playing with my mind.

An island with scenery typical for eastern parts of Finland such as Karelia would be fantastic. Maybe a few lakes and long ridges covered with trees. Maybe not this much water but you get the point

Here you go: Link Edit: Save target as

Downloading right now This is absolutely one of my favourite addons lately.

This thread made me understand why I study English philology instead of physics.

Damn, over 200 messages in this thread already!

Suursaari would be pretty good, the only thing is that it lacks an airstrip, but of course the addon makers could implement some artistic freedom in the process ...

Ursula Andress, the quintessential Bond girl!

I just noticed that there are some modern spetsnaz available for download at flashpoint.ru. They look pretty cool with the kevlar helmets and everything, but I couldn't get them to work. Could someone who can read Russian drop some info here if they require some special addons. What's up with all these Russian addons coming out everyday? Great

Someone could offer us a new screenshot to divert this conversation from slipping into a endless discussion about winners and losers of WWII.

I love the way the landing gear retracts! <3

I don't think the rebuilding operations of post-WWII Europe and Japan can be compared to Afghanistan. Supah brought up the issue of local warlords roaming around Afghanistan in the previous post, this was something the post-war Europe and Japan didn't have. I don't know what would happen after a war in Iraq and the fall of Saddam's regime, but I guess the Kurd minority in northern Iraq would try to attempt to benefit from the situation.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">IMO if the Germans had invaded sooner, there would just be more German crosses in Russia and more Russian crosses in Germany. Russia wouldnt have lost because of a couple of month. Even if we retreated all the way to the urals we still would have won because 1 Germany had no way logistically to supply its troops that far. 2. They couldnt hang 90 million German hating Russians in the areas that they did conquer 3. By the time the Germans did reach the urals or even taken Moscow, our armies would have been 5 times the size of theirs and also close to our supplies while they would have fatigued soldiers with overeached and thinly spread supplies. <span id='postcolor'> The objective set for German troops in the beginning was to prevent the withdrawal of Russian forces deep into Russian territories. If the Germans would have attacked in the spring instead of midsummer and Hitler hadn't constantly interfered with the OKW, situation could have been totally different. They might have taken Moscow, which was an important for its political value as the center of Soviet government, but it was also an important railroad junction. I agree that the German treatment of Russian civilians was one of the major reasons for such a stubborn resistance - think about the situation if Germans would have taken a different approach towards the civilians. People like General Vlassov would have gotten their army of "Free Russia". I'm not denying that the Russians had a lot of manpower to spare, but do you really think it would have been possible to reorganize the Red Army effectively after losing Moscow? I believe the morale of the Russian soldier would have been very low after such event, and the army would have suffered from mass desertions. Zhukov's winter offensive on the gates of Moscow gave the Red Army a raise of morale they needed - maybe a bit too much if you consider the Kharkov disaster following spring. I agree that the whole idea of attacking the Soviet Union and the ideologies involving "Lebensraum" in the east were one of the most stupid ever to be invented. Luckily for future generations, Hitler just begged for a two-front war which he was doomed to lose.

I speak from experience, it's kind of in their culture to have a few good fights with people until they grow up. And many of them do practice martial arts, and do use it as a weapon, dot defense. Most fights take place in the arcade or near by... so yeah, it kind of fits as Internet Cafe also.<span id='postcolor'> I don't know where you live, but here in Finland I have noticed a similar kind of thing; Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants tend to hang around near arcades, sometimes looking for a fight. I remember when I was like 15 when my friend got his teeth kicked in by a gang of Chinese, in a 10 vs. 1 situation. They also used their ninja skills to abduct his wallet and cellphone! I try not to have any prejudices against immigrants, but this not the only time I've seen Chinese mobbing people.

I hope playing Warcraft 3 doesn't inspire them to pick up axes and swords ...

I spent 9 months in the Finnish Defence Forces, but I guess this is universal in every army - you might have to give up smoking a certain herbal product

Sorry for being a nitpicker, but I suppose he was captured in Stalingrad during years 1942-43, not in 1945 like you said I'm sorry if he did hide in Stalingrad for 2 years - that must have been good practice for further hiding in the Siberian tundra. I have a faint memory of reading a book about this when I was like 10 years old; something like the guy digging himself under several meters of snow to avoid the dogs which the Russians used to track him? Not sure, might be a different story. Here is a story of a German soldier who escaped the encirclement at Stalingrad after the German defences collapsed.
