Must kill Pavlov bug, no FBD exploit, no Red 41 kill of LW.

Use .10 version, the second to last one, before M took an ax to the hqbu.

See you in Berlin in about a year or two.

Got one game now, not a problem.

ps, why hello there to m-60

I'll try M60 - been playing mostly Soviet recently but looking forward to taking another crack at Axis.

Who's picture is that in your avatar?

Good luck to both of you. The thing about this game is that you both will fight to the VERY bitter end. :)

Wasn't he the youngest Soviet General and 1st Soviet General to set foot into Germany? I believe he was a Jew too.

It was accurate shot from 76,2mm or 85mm tank gun :-)))))))))))))))))))

His officially listed death was from German artillery fire, but there is this other unofficial version he was killed by a tank crew. Unfortunately, all the videos on YouTube are from Russian documentaries that have not been translated. Here is one.

As Supreme Commander of Soviet Forces in East Prussia, he was also supposedly on the verge of being promoted to Marshal when he died.

I'm considering it - I haven't done one in a LONG time. What is the best program/method to capture screenshots for AAR's now?

Well I can only speak for myself but my "die hard" mentality can also attributed to being stubborn....even when getting my butt kicked

I hope you do an AAR. My method for screenshots is to simply print screen and paste into an image editor. Then upload onto the Matrix server.

Status: offline 		Just finished my axis turn 2. Brian G is playing a VERY aggressive defense particularly in the south. I haven't had an opponent hold their ground this much on turn 1. Should be interesting...he may stop me cold or I may be able to pocket a lot of Soviets. I'm planning on starting an AAR after turn 5.
