    Hey all,

    My name's Aidan and I'm a 14 year old from Canada. I became interested in World War II last year, however only this year I'm really starting to get into it.

    What it comes to WWII I'm mainly interested in the different types of troops and their role's, as well as different types of weapons and their uses. I also find Aviation pretty interesting, however I haven't really delved too deep into it yet. Currently I'm learning about the different battles of WWII (currently I'm watching a documentary on Operation Barbarossa). I'd like to learn more about the rankings and organisation of different armies, as I have barely any idea as to how the different armies are formed up.

    I love to play WWII video-games with my friends such as Company of Heroes (I used to play Heroes and Generals, but the community has become rather toxic due to the P2W module). I wanted to try and get some sort of WWII mod going for Arma II, but the whole game is just such a pain to deal with.

    That's about it. I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys better :)

    Edit: oops, forgot to mention I'm originally from Dresden, Germany :p

    welcome aboard..I tried Arma2, and no go...I play Rising Storm alot.....really 'funny', and cool to hear the many Japanese sayings and sounds...the Banzai is very ''funny',and fun, unless your are a Marine..if a lot of Japanese Banzai, if you are a Marine, your screen goes blurry and you can't function as well.....and it's harder to kill the Japanese when they Banzai....the Banzai screaming is very 'funny'
    one time playing in the morning, we had real Japanese playing, so it was surreal
