May 14, 1945 Five days after the official cease-fire, the final German forces surrender. Encircled in East Prussia, the few remaining soldiers...
Great stuff Mahross, I have always liked this one and the much maligned P-39. Although how anyone can claim the aircraft used by, what, five out...
This is an interesting period in the war on the eastern front. It seems pretty obvious to me that the Soviets thought they were going to grab...
World War I Korean War The Israeli Wars And quite a bit on Swedish military history when our kings were busy in Denmark, Russia, Poland, German...
That's the one I was looking for! Thought someone might blurt out the first offical one you mentioned but no such luck... :D
Indeed. Had you going there for a while didn't I? Bah, how could anyone not know such trivial and basic facts. :eek: :confused: :D...
Congrats to Canada and Brad! Ah, the cruelty of sports... :mad: :D :D
Argh. Well, since we have 15 and 16, it could be 17. Or since there is 11 and 12 it could be 13. Seems like 17 would be the most likely answer...
Bah, the Poles were a nation and military powerhouse long before the squabbling German mini-states coalesced into what we know today. It's good...

This is a great thread. Now I don't feel like such a freak anymore. :D My numerous models also succumed to BB-guns and fire, mostly. The...
May 8, 1945. Germany surrenders unconditionally and Europe is at peace. Happy VE-day everyone! Woot! :D
Don't feel bad Kai-Petri, we had some catching up to do, over the last years I think you have beaten us more often than the other way around....
:D :D :D :cool: :eek: :D Sweden down 1-5 turns the game around and beats Finland 6-5! Huzzah! Another classic!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :D That Belarus game was a classic though, in worst possibly way... Anyway, I'm looking forward to...
Indeed. The order from Hitler, dated August 17, states that: "The SS Verfuegungstruppe is neither a part of the Wehrmacht nor a part of the...
I would say the order of battle and operational command has very little to do with this. For example, this would also mean that you consider the...
Great Kai-Petri! Out of curiosity, what does "Panttipataljoona" mean? My Finnish is a bit rusty *cough*nonexistant*cough*, though I can figure...
