I'm just gonna get out the pop corn and watch another thread go down the drain.
:haha:
Not to mention the thread name itself could be considered 'Inducing Panic'.

August,
 
I'm not one to take offense. I am brain damaged and my thoughts are unsorted at times. I have interacted with many German folks over the years and can sum them up thusly...

You can tell a German but you can't tell him much.:03::O:

Not much different with anyone else either.:arrgh!:

Let's put this locomotive back on the tracks and continue bashing our arrogant government types.:up:

Well I am still of the opinion that this is not the big deal that Skybirds trying to make it.

Well, it's about time we declared war on them. I am tired of WW2 computer games, and ready for a new war to base games on.
Cold War games are bor-inng!

Time to update Red Storm Rising.

Paging Microprose....

harumph.

It's a non-binding symbolic vote.

The sky is not falling.

Red Army was a better book about Col War went Hot.

Red Army was a cracking book.

Sadly I saw Ralph Peters on the news once or twice as a commentator and he's absolutely insane. Ah well.

C'mon, they're in cahoots, the congress and the duma.
Yelling ''the russians are coming'' and ''NATO is coming'' to shift the focus from internal problems to an outside ''enemy''.
A smoke screen to hide their own incompetence and corruption.
DC, Moscow, Ljubljana... same ol' magicians. A sleight of hand and the masses start foaming at the mouth.

We have historic reasons to be very paranoid. And US/EU not allowing a compromise in the Ukrainian situation does not help.

In Red Army what I really like is that:
- Soviet commanders are not stupid and act closely to their concept of making war.
- There are no magic "luck" elements present, which deal a major blow to one of the sides.

There is a bit of rape though :( but I guess such events are inevitable.

The US Senate just passed a 577 billion dollar defense budget. I'd say that they're prepping to fight yet another war with somebody. Probably not with Russia though.

Well for FY2011 the defense budget was $680billion. So, maybe not.

Yes, I think he did not get over the end of the Cold War.

General Winter can be a magical luck element, despite being natural and predictable :hmmm:

It affects both sides, plus if we take the original General Winter (1812 Napoleon campaign) the majority of losses were suffered in the warm months. Thus I wont count it as a "magic luck" element. And example of the later would be capturing specnas commander just in time for the offensives with all the plans or using magic stealth planes to gain complete air superiority in the initial period of war, and such and so on.
