From the book Submarine By Ed. Beech. The guy that installed the first ice cream maker in the Trigger. He wanted everyone to call him Sinky, but they soon found out his nickname was Stinky at the academy. Just thought it was one of those interesting and funny things that goes on. And I like ice cream :p

Mine was originally a joke, in the FPS "Firearms" a mod for HL1 a clan I wanted to join had a member named SittingDuck... so I jokingly put my name as StandingCow... and decided to keep it.

I used to run a subsim web page called Deep Simulations. It was Sub Command focussed. It ran for a year or two, and a few of my mission pack are still floating about out there (I think Bill Nichols has a few on his page). Eventually, I had to redirect my energies into other things, and dropped the web site.

Knew absolutely nothing about submarines when I first bought SH3 and found Subsim, but knew quite a bit about the land war. Decided to use the name of one of the great German generals: General der Panzertruppen Hasso-Eccard Freiherr von Manteuffel (1897 - 1978) one of only 27 holders of the Knights Cross with Oak leaves Swords and Diamonds. Aim high, I always say.

Well I've always been interested in the Rommel and the Afrika Korps, so I thought this to be a suiting name. I find it funny that some people confuse me to be European because I use K's instead of C's in the title.

By the sound of most of these posts, it seems as though we've got a "well-seasoned" crew around here

Love it!

Got mine from when i belonged in a club, at the University of Central Oklahoma, that played Harpoon, not the computer game mind you but the paper and counter game. I was very aggressive with my tactics so the guys nicknamed me "Battle Force" and well my ego just played off that....hence CinC Battleforce
