Roland Emmerich directing new film on the Battle of Midway.

@EricTheGreat12:

Although no one in my family fought in the Second World War, my great grandfather was in the Canadian Army during the First World War.

He was a messanger, and unfortunately he got gassed up pretty badly. I don’t remember how long he was in the war, but I do remember records saying that he fought in the battle of Passendale. He later got brought back to Canada after he got shot in the leg   :-(

My grandmother tells me that he never talked about the war; he never even kept any part of his uniform. But at least my grandmother kept his medals and she still has a photo of him in his military uniform :-D

I wished I had asked more questions to my relatives.
I believe one serviced Halifaxs in India though on reflection
I was unaware whether they were based there, others served
in the Merchant navy or in the Fire service etc.

One account I recently read about the gassing in WW1 was
a doctor treating two patients, the Chlorine gas was so strong
on them that he left the room to be sick.

Does anyone know of a good resource that has pictures of the symbols representing different divisions and or Corps of the armies in WW1 and or WW2?

He 219.
I like his strange configuration.

Hey everybody.

I just wanted to let my fellow A&A fans and any would-be writers out there about my RPG forum I’ve got.

It takes place JUST as the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, and people play as officers in either the American, Commonwealth, or Japanese navy and armies and command flotillas, units, and air wings. Beside that, they develop their characters as the war continues, not to mention, and in stride with Axis and Allies, it does not follow the traditional branch of history – but rather events unfold as the commanders feel.

What if the Japanese won at Midway?

What if the Americans never invaded Guadalcanal and instead took back the Philippines in 1942?

Here’s the site, check it out. Thanks!

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.

Korea was indeed the first war to use helicopters on a significant scale.  They were most experimental in WWII.

@Col:

With the ME 262 seemingly winning the poll, eyebrows should be raised at the fact that the ME 262’s closest rival in it’s own catagory, the Gloster Meteor was unfairly banned from the poll.

I’m surprised that a jet is the winner. I came close to not including the Me 262.  I may just be old school.

Col Cool, i have named you the Poll Cop- always fighting poll injustice.
