As I recall, when the Norwegains protested to the British that Britain had violated Norwegian neutrality by entering Norwegian waters and boarding the Altmark, the British retorted that the Altmark had violated Norwegian neutrality by anchoring in Norwegian waters while retaining a cargo hold full of prisoners of war. The British also apparently implied that the Norwegians had been either openly complicit in this action or, at the very least, negligent in not discovering the German ruse. My understanding of international law is that belligerent ships entering neutral waters are required to release any prisoners of war they are carrying – a good example being, ironically enough, the British prisonners who were released in neutral Uruguay by Captain Langsdorff when the Graf Spee (the ship supplied by the Altmark) anchored in Montevideo harbour. At any rate, the British position vis a vis Norway was basically, “You drop your protest and we’ll drop ours.” Which they did.
Best WW2 Videogame you have played!

Panzer General

Microprose and Silent Service 2
I think it was out around 1982

Hearts of Iron II is better than Hearts of Iron III: more historical and more quick to play. They did a really big mess with HOI3, specially making it 3D, that was not needed and sucked many resources really needed in gameplay, balance and historical accuracy. I heard of Mexico invading Germany in 1939 in HOI3, go figure! :lol:

wth?
sudden strike of course!
the first and forever were the best, the second was less
and the ones behind that…
i won’t mention them ^^ -
Call of Duty
-
Anybody play Company of Heroes? That is a great RTS game!
-
Yes, Panzer General the first two versions. @frimmel:
Panzer General

The arcade classic 1942.

Panzer General and CoD…
I started w. MoH but as soon Cod came out I knew it is way better…The most I miss on Ego Shooter WWII games is streetfights… -

I like HoI3 better, except how hard it is to declare war. Makes alt history harder. I haven’t heard of any bizarre things in HoI3 as you have, but in HoI2, I had an Axis of only Germany and Nationalist Spain, who, I might add, began invading Newfoundland once France was finished.

Allied General is okay. The Russian Campaign is very tough.
But nothing beats rolling into the White House with your tank unit that’s been with you since Kutno and Lodz in Panzer General.

The awesome of CoD is summed up in this one video:
-
Blazing Angeles 3 on the PS3 Tom Clancy’s End War on PSP and PS3 (I know it’s based on a future war, but they had Pearl Harbor in it.)
I don’t really play first person’s that much.
There was also some old game for an old Nintendo or Sega game I can’t remember it was at an obscure friends house

Call of duty 2

the 2002 Medal Of Honor: Alllied Assault
The best Omaha beach mission of any FPS.
-
Medal of Honor Frontline you essentially play as James Bond in WWII
Medal Of Honor: Alllied Assault
The best Omaha beach mission of any FPS.
Very true Allied Assault was really good the last level was a bit anti-climactic but the D-Day and operation torch missions were really cool.
