My suggestion would also be 'other periods...' as we have members who are interested in Vietnam, WW1, Napoleonic and American Civil War among others.
For myself, I'll stick to WWII - the stress associated with doing just one quiz is enought for me !

WWI, Napoleonics, Rome...? Mein Gott! I will fall down the chair! (Not really, I do not need more broken bones beside of those already broken... Now, I share your sorrow, Erich)
But, our beloved field marshall has the last decision. He has a lot of work, let's keep him quiet for a while. We can chat about that some other place. That is the e-mail for, isn't it?

I don't think we are talking about whole new sections for other periods in history, just one quizz that could cover other areas.

I'm willing to start a single new non-WW2 forum. Honestly, I'm very open what you guys want, I have always tried to cater to the members, and I always will. What's the worst that could happen if I start a new forum? If no one likes it, I'll just close it.
Most of the older member know that I love feedback, and I am very open to any suggestions, so fire away. |

Well, I will simply love the idea! I will have less time to spend working and studying... I will blame you when I fail the year 
No. It will surely be an awesome classy site where you can feel confortable as we feel here. And certainly with much more topics beside WWII there will be a lot more quorum for it. I can bet blindly that some of us who are already here will post there equally or more than here, because we all have a lot of other passions beside WWII. We all love History and History is not just seven years. We would be stupid if we just focused on those seven years. There is much more more interesting to learn out there.
Anyway, Otto, you have with my support and help (If I am able to do it, me, stupid guy who doesn't know a s... of computers). We will appreciate your work much more and we all will have to promote you to Reichsmarschall. You could fullfill perfectly Göring's shoes... His shoes: OK, but his belt... who knows? Are you that big?

I would love to discuss all that with you, Carl! And the others too!
Whatever the field marshall does (not you gossip Carl [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) I support him.
