Good morning tithe...

Treespider, one can immediately tell which one is yours if they have seen the video that you posted about 2 weeks ago of your court testimony. The family resemblance is uncanny!

Of course we appreciate your creativity at this early hour, DivePac88. There is a curious absence of martian feedback on your creation, however. I wonder if their planet's rotation or solar storms is interfering with radio communications...

You know what's frustrating?

I've made an invention 6 years ago. I never tried anything to make that public, to produce it or to make money with it as I had enough things to do.
This summer, I read that problems with their batteries is the main obstacle for electric driven cars to storm the market. Well, my invention solves that problem, so I started thinking that I should try to realize it...
After first work for patents, consultinc a patent lawyer, I found out yesterday, that "my" invention is under developement by a company in the US - since 2007.

If� I just had started working on that some years earlier...

Well that does suck.

Perhaps I read sarcasm but let me say,

Not so much, in terms of gaming I can get my head around certain engagements on the East Front, but in total it baffles me. Kind of odd since I play AE, but then China has never been my best area to run anyway. I guess my mind just gets unhitched by the time I get to Corp level actions. War in Russia did a decent job of abstracting the action to make it playable and even that was big. War in the East may be not abstract enough to enjoy, but then Gary seems to like that fine line. Usually he succeeds.

I was being a bit sarcastic, really in light of T's comments above. I have actually studied the Eastern campaign much more than the Pacific ( although I am catching up in that regard ). The scale of the conflict in terms of land units involved is staggering.I will add this, if anyone has spent a lot of time studying Soviet military history they would know how much the Reds did not want war with Japan early on. Many of the discussions elsewhere in these threads seem to imply that the Russians were eager, and willing and able to fight Japan as soon as PH occured. That is very much not the case.

Of course not!
Stalin proposed peace to Germany twice in 1941 because he was so full of fear that the red army may collapse.
When Germany didn't answer he kept on whining to Winston Churchill that he should open a second front to relieve him. When German subs and planes sank a lot of transports for russia he even accused the Allies of lying to him and that they didn't sent the sunken ships...
There is defenitly NO realistic chance that russia attacks Japan in the first years, even if the kwangtun army was seriously weakend. The Red Army still took tremendous losses and before the collaps of Heeresgruppe Mitte in 1944, there was not the slightest chance for a deliberate two front war.

IMO, the Japs just didn't want to risk that - and that's why their forces at the russian border remained strong. They just didn't want to see the Red Army at Harbin being forced to throw them out.

But Russia itself attacking Japan while Germany still kills thousands of russian soldiers each day? no chance!

The usual crap. It's back to the shift work on Monday, for a month or so before sprog turns up. I've reached the point that I don't want to go back to work, but I didn't want to carry on with the course I was on...

How's your tribe?
