Status: offline 		Hi :D

Just downloaded this game a couple of months ago, been to busy playing to check out this BBS. Actually, I've been to busy playing to do just about anything else. :rolleyes:
Found lots of useful info browsing various threads, LMAO reading some of the other stuff. Not sure what to make of the M4 vs Katz thing, surely everyone knows the T34 is the best tank of the war.:cool:

Be quick and run over to the "store" and get ordered a copy of Steel Panthers Mega Campaign Watchtower before you lament you were to slow man.

You're new to the game, so I'll give you time to realize the error of your ways with thinking the T-34 is a match for the Katz. At least you aren't one of the hopeless M4 sickos. And try not to talk to Hawk too much, I think he caught some kind of disease from M4 Jess since he jumped ship on us and went over to the M4 side. (shudder) :)

Kats rule all, but a person just has to love that Russian armor also.

M4's suck. Sissies.:p

Of course, if you had a decent drive you wouldn't have to duck.

Have to say, the Centurion III is pretty cool. FC 12.

The T34/85 handled whatever the Germans threw at it and regularly defeated German armor on the field of battle, which is what really counts. Don't be the least ashamed of being a fan of the T34 - if it was so bad, why did German field commanders early in the war want it copied? And that's for the record, too.

A number of the real experts believe the T34 to be the outstanding medium tank of WW2, I happen to agree. Soviet designers constantly improved the T34 throughout the conflict, sure they were locked in from a production standpoint, so were we with the Sherman. At the same time they turned out heavy tanks in a constant stream of improved models.

My belief is there were any number of Germans who were laughing at the Russian peasants right before an 85mm round took them to there own, private Valhalla (for Germans only, natually).

I'll quote some field reports if it will make you feel better. Like the one where almost all the new super Panthers broke down after unloading from flat cars. A platoon of T34/85's in good running condtion took care of those which actually made it into combat. Comes down to perception.

Are you always this nice or are you just trying to lure in a new PBEM victim? ;)

Les, I 'just found the game' by buying a cheap copy of Starfleet Command. This game is based on an old board game, Star Fleet Battles. They have a BBS too.
Anyway, there as a topic on other wargames and someone had posted a link for this free, downloadable WWII game. The rest, as they say, is history. SFC has been gathering dust ever since.

Don't listen to those girlie man Katz lovers, they are just compensating for something with those long barrelled german rides.

We all know real manly tankers ride Churchills and Shermans :)

T-34 is ok, if you are using the original editions.
