i bet you can “donate” money to the website and they will find out for you :smile:

Jagd tiger has a very low silohuette (excuse my spelling), correct? the jagdtiger faced technical problems and it was underpowered.
that french tank wasn’t (FCM F1) wasn’t that slow either. And they were planning to make them too! Luckily (for the germans) the french would of used them for infantry support.

I totally agree. but how can a clean slate be made “ungreedy”? It would be hard to do that, my friend, it would be hard to eliminate greed.

I think norway has 60% income tax, and to tell the truth, i think that is a little insane. Norway does not have to spend its money on a massive military, and the many other things larger countires have to spend money on. It would be hard to put that same system n a country like america, so i don’t delude myself to think it is possible.

I think man can get along fine with capitalism. If communism is ment to eliminate greed, then that is totally not true, because greed still exists… unless the state takes you when you are a baby and programs “ungreedy” babies…but thats not going to happen…yet…

didn’t Hans Rudel use a Stuka with a 30mm cannon to kill tanks? He was a tank ace, and he even sunk a russian battleship…with a Stuka!

Guderian was a goddam genious. Hitler stopped using him when he got “sick” after the failed operation tyfun, and then he was used in 44. that was 3 years without their best general.

i wonder what happened to him after the war…

I like russia restricted better! (me sniffles)

my god mini-freek, thanks for the book!

you might not have to wait long. the same might happen in japan. they are going down, and their banks are going to stop insuring deposits. I smell trouble.

i’m feeling happy now…no one denounced my opinions on questions one and two…yet :smile:

how many hours do you work a day :smile:???

as you shown, people screw things up. Capitalism doesn’t have to have greed, but by hell it finds it’s way there, just like in many communist societies. I do not denounce communism as a theory, because it is the best one out there, but just like crystal pepsi, it doesn’t go well with public. people do not want to work as many as others. people are envious of each other.

IMO the ultimate goal in life is happiness. if a society can be made to make me a happy mindless drone that did work to benefit the state, i would do it. the truth is that no one with the power to set that up would do it for the good of the people. another problem would be that my fellow mindless drones just might decide to work else, because other people would work for them. you cannot deny that. you cannot deny man’s jealous envious nature.

I’m with you all the way in theory, but i would like to think that i am more of a realist (and maybe pessimist :smile: ), because i realize communism would never work with man.

but hey, you can always make a commune, and as long as you make enough money to pay taxes, you can live how you like.

…all in all, i support capitalism. not that it is better, but it works.

we would have to see how a game would play out.

Italy had some decent aircraft made and in the works:

and how about that navy:
http://www.regiamarina.it/stats.htm

they had battleships that would make all but the japanese blush

http://www.combinedfleet.com/furashita/aquila_f.htm

even an aircraft carrier in the works

enjoy! the italians didn’t want to win… the italians didn’t react quick enough to destroy the british fleet, and then waited for the british to blow them away, like the swordfish bombers torpedo bombing capsizing 3 italian battleships.

at times it is fun to dream what kind of army the nazis could of had with their night vision, helicoptors, guided missiles, assault rifles… they could of had a navy seals team 55 years ago!

I would believe the IS 3, it had an equivlent gun, it was faster and had a moving turret.

look at these mad french tanks in the works! they could of KILLED germany in 42.

http://france1940.free.fr/armee/otdb1.html

the FCM F1 was a 140 ton tank!
"Twelve of these 140 tonnes behemoths were ordered on 27 April 1940 to replace the aging FCM 2Cs. This tank, designed to lead assaults on the Siegfried Line in 1941, was to be armed with a high-velocity 90mm gun (mv 710 m/s, penetration 100mm at 1000 m) in the rear turret and a 75mm SA 35 in the front turret (the mock up above shows a 47mm gun mock up instead) with a 25mm AT gun on each side of the hull ! The design wasn’t finalised however and armament variants included a 105mm gun in the forward turret of in the front hull. Its front armour was to be 120mm with 100mm side armour and its two 550 hp engines would hopefully allow it to race along at a mighty 24 km/h… "

Renault G1R:
"The 1936 requirement for a D2 replacement in the “battle tank” role called for a 20 tonnes tank, capable of 40 km/h, with the armour of a B1 bis, a 47mm SA 35 turret gun and a hull-mounted 75mm gun. However, Renault’s design evolved into a 35 tonne tank with a turret mounted “high power” APX 75mm gun… which was rejected on 14 May 1940 because it was too far from any official requirement ! "

you gotta see these!

yeah, the good ol’ six days war: the begginning of “occupation.”

BTW Yanny, you will clarify how we’re doing things b4 we start right?

and my name is “HortenFlyingWing” not hornet :smile: basically the hortenflyingwing can be any horten design, like the Ho229 (Gotha 229) or the Ho18 Amerika Bomber. Most forums goers call me “horten”, but i have heard “flying wing” and “that guy.” You maky also call me:
“Flying H”
“Big poppa smurf”
or my real name “Craig.”

Just call me “Horten”…

most definately. the british and american fleet must be destroyed, no matter what.

I think if sicily was made two IPCs, and Libya was 2 IPCs, and germany keeps algeria, and italy is 10 (remember there is greece and the balkans in that territory.

that way, italy makes 14, three infantry and a tank.

I would be very interested to play a game like this, but splitting the german axis might severely hurt the axis. That is why i support 3 ipcs in lybia. but if that hurt the historical damage. How about making albania and greece a seperate italian holding worth 3 ipcs? IMO italy has to make 18 IPCs to balance the new axis W/no bidding. If italy is 10, albania/greece is 3, and lybia is 2, and sicily is 2, and add a corisca on the map for 1 IPC.

Then Italy can be a real player, and the game can be more balanced. perhaps, the allies would be forced to attack the “soft underbelly” of europe,a dn there would be no need for bidding.

I only believe italy should go before germany is because germany would have to decide to either commit their forces to africa or to russia, depening on what italy does like the real war.
sorry for the misspellings!

p.s. this would be awesome for a free for all!

Yanny, why can’t we use the windows based program?

if you want to use a board, then okay. as long as you are willing to do all that work!

I’ll volunteer to be a game master. if i am wasting your time, the least I can do is the same for someone else here :smile: i’ll try to borrow my friend’s board so I can have my game and someone else’s in my living room.

here is a good link on german night vision.

it has been a while since i have seen this stuff. the germans even had it on rifles (mp44)!

“Sturmtiger and P1000/1500”

i have heard of a jagdtiger, but neither of those. what are they?

I know…it sucks that lazy morons don’t want to pull thier own weight. I know a family that are bunch of lazy property owners… it will only be a matter of time before they lose it all, and deservingly so.

“communist” nations exploit the powerless for the powerful. (well, basically all nations.) there will always be “richer” people. people are always richer than someone else.

i’m sure you have seen the show survivor. if everyone pulled their own weight, things would be fine, but obviously, that doesn’t happen. that show usually rewards the laziest, most manipulitive people…

Russia (restricted :smile: )
Italy
Germany
Great Britain
Japan
America

Italy should have the oppurtunity to attack GB african positions b4 germany.

sounds good, but wouldn’t it take weeks to finish one game?
