Just shows how long u been in this game err lack of flying.  I have had this handle for quite sometime now and my old handle is out as well.  If ya wanna try and start something with me because of my oh sooo incredibly distasteful handle can i make a few suggestions?  I mean you know since you are trying to screw with me.  

Lighten up frances.

Damn this has been fun, just tell me, was your handle a joke or do you really have that ego?

I am a big fan of ironic humor, and if you were just screwing around with that choice of a handle, then you have my apology, but you gotta admit that if someone took that handle seriously, they are a dork.  If its a joke, then I can relate.

As far as AH goes, I played for years, starting with the beta.  If you have been around very much, you should probably have recognized my handle.

I don't play anymore, just got tired of the game and needed a change, all I do now is visit the OT forum for the fun of it.

Lighten up,

dago

I would have thought my location in my bio was good enough.

Geez Raub, those guys couldnt look any more gay if they dressed like the village people!

The guy on the left dyes his hair blonde, the other is holding his cigarrette like a chick. shudder.

 Some cool battle stuff though.

And weren't you going to  fight Raubvogel first instead of Dago? I'd really like to see you do your dry humping gay drunk routine with him.


The 'Panzer Battles of the Waffen-SS' is more of a tactical 'study/research' aide. They go into great detail about a number of crucial engagements. In some of them the Germans did well, in others they did much worse than they expected to. A really good book for aiding scenario design for wargames for instance.

There is an AAR near the end of the book that I still remember vividly though. Written by a platoon commander of Pz VIBs about a week before the end of WW2. Platoon commander describes German paratroopers crawling onto paved road between a pitched gunfight between the Pz VIBs and about 3x their number of Soviet MBTs (mostly T-34/85s, some IS-2s) to remove AT mines hastily thrown onto the road by Soviet infantry. Talk about nerve...
