    Countries

    I've been to: Canada: Travelled extensively through Quebec for hiking purposes, though i've not been in the north much. I toured Nova Scotia, Prince-Edward Island and New-Brunswick a while ago. British Columbia to see my father's family (Damn BC is awesome, wonderful mountains, and Vancouver is the cleanest and healthiest city i've ever seen if you take out the junkies, which mostly hang around a single street corner anyway). USA: I've been to Boston and I loved it, so much history in that place! I also had a quick trip to Maine in order to gas up . I'm buying my plane ticket for california this April, so it's going to be awesome, i'm really looking forward to it, and me and my buddy will even do a short trip to Vegas. United Kingdom: My latest big trip, I spent a month there touring England (Even spent 3 days in Edinburgh, Scotland. Most beautiful architecture i've seen in my life, it's breathtaking), I adored it and I would love to go again, the beer is cheap and good, the people are mostly nice if you know how to handle them, and there's so much that i've not seen even in a month. Also, if you'd like to check out some of my pictures from my trip, I have fairly good ones, so feel free to send me a message. This Summer: Given this will be my last summer as a civilian, i'm considering going on another trip. I narrowed it down to four countries, Italy, France, Spain and Ukraine, for a month long voyage, but I don't know which to pick . Feel free to give advice.
  3. I'll add you when I get off work, right now I can't use steam and i'm on the work computer . And yeah, the SS divisions wreaked a bloody havoc on the eastern front. For me it's mind boggling to imagine the scale of that conflict, thousand of tanks engaged in battle, hundreds of thousand of men fighting for their dear lives and country in a single operation. The SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler was recognized as particularly deadly (the 1st Waffen SS division, the personal bodyguard of good ole Adolf). It's Wermacht counterpart would be the Grossdeutshland Division or the Panzer Lehr which were both the equivalent of a Waffen SS division in eliteness. A good American-Canadian counterpart would be the Devil's brigade, and the 101st airborne for the americans. Brits had the Anzacs and the Gurkhas. Russians had the tank guard divisions, and I wouldn't have wanted to tangle with the cossacks, partisans or otherwise. The italians had the Ariete division. The Japanese had no divisions that were considered elite in the sense we think about, but they were incredibly tough and their morale was all but impossible to break. That about covers the major protagonists .
  4. Sure, anytime, add me to your steam list (Rec. S. Peaker [1st MRB]), I normally play France, but I can always play Prussia or Great Britain, or Russia. I normally play with no unicorns, no fixed artillery and 3 artillery units max. And Waffen SS were a group of divisions, the driving forces behind the german army weren't the elite Panzegrenadier divisions with expensive tank brigades (though they did have their uses). What gave Germany it's victories was the good ole Panzer III-IV and the Wermacht infantryman. The main german army had superb leadership with sturdy and reliable standard equipment, along with superb infantry. Waffen SS were elite and awesome, but so were the american paras and the marines or the british SAS. They still can't win the war on their own .
  5. Well, if you take out the multiple human rights violations and acts of genocide + breaches of the Geneva convention that Waffen SS and Wermacht units ended up comitting, the German Army of the time was the best army, man for man, in the world (Arguably). My love for Napoléon and his Grande Armée made me buy Napoleon total war when it was still 50$ ­ .
  6. Approved Thomas, we didn't see a lineup of generals like the Grande Armée again until Nazi Germany. However, no French soldier ever captured a town on his own. A french-canadian did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Major#The_first_DCM
  7. Gotta keep the bitching under control. Perhaps we can all pitch in so 1st MRB gets a bottle . Also, my name is Sam, and I fuck sheep.
  8. Happy new year to all of 1st MRB! I'll keep taking breaks in the construction of my bomb shelter to play DoD with you guys. Much love. Peaker
  9. Hey, any other players of Paradox games? Especially the two mentioned above? I've been with hearts of Iron since the 2nd one, same with EU (Played Victoria as well of course). If anyone is up for it, we could start a game and play once in a while.
  10. Hey, I just found this thread. Caldari Pilot reporting. Pilot Name: Aurelius Metellus Current location: Amarr Space, training bomber skills. So feel free to hit me up and add me to your contacts.
