Whyalterhistory -> Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 5:50:11 PM)

I have almost all of Gary Grigsby games going back many years. Waited for The War in Russia along time. I see the box and can't believe what the soldier looks like. I guess he is suppposed to be German. After all the work to make the game as realistic as possible why this?



Wikingus -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:04:20 PM)

And this is important why? Why would they spend any more time on something as trivial as that than absolutely necessary?

also, I like the picture as it is. It looks cool.



Terminus -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:20:15 PM)

What's supposed to be wrong with it?



irre -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:20:32 PM)

Whats wrong with the picture? that is a german soldier with the traditional national colors of Imperial Germany as insignia on the helmet.



Swayin -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:24:23 PM)

I think it looks great, personally ... not fake at all...?

"..what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul"

lol are you kidding me? This guy actually posted something about the picture on the box? IMO that is one of the most annal things I've ever seen posted. Also, he has nothing to back up that it is in fact fake. If you have something to dispute, maybe prove your case a bit? [:-]

My advice is play the game have fun and relax.

[:)]



Swayin -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:42:43 PM)

Yeah, sort of baffled at that one, especially given that the soldier is obviously a photo illustration...?



KarlXII -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:43:08 PM)

If thatīs the worst thing to say of this game I would say it is a hit!



morganbj -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 6:51:56 PM)

Well, what is the insignia on the helmet supposed to be? Here is what I have seen in photographs for many decades. I've removed the part that might be offensive to someone.

Put Robert Shaw in full SS regalia on the box art of the 2nd Edition imo.




Toby42 -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 7:13:25 PM)

Complaining about the box art is trolling in the "First Degree" !!!!

Were these removed by Barbarossa, or did the order come during the campaign?

(not that I agree with OP BTW)

Solid first post. You'll make lots of friends.



parusski -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 7:36:17 PM)

I agree with you kirkgregerson. Even if my "..brain can't handle anything over a few sentences" I don't get this criticism.

I love the picture.

So, you were sitting around bored to tears, eh?



Terminus -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 8:02:50 PM)

Stop playing with the troll.



Nikel -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 8:11:54 PM)

Could find this info.

The tricolour national shield was used by the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe on the right of the helmets.

In march 1940 was ordered to remove the shield to improve camouflage

But many helmets in use where not repainted.

So I guess the picture is right



Krupinski -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 8:19:16 PM)

i love the photo of the box. i think it fits perfect. very nice artwork!



Aurelian -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 8:26:41 PM)

A: Throw box away.

OR

B: Just use the d/l option.

Solved either way.

Nice pic of Odessa 41, wonder what mm gun on that vehicle. Some nasty sh*t. [:'(]



Tzar007 -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 9:15:57 PM)

With the OP name being "Why alter history" and only 1 post, it's pretty obvious what his agenda is... Greenbuttoning these people is the best thing to do.



TulliusDetritus -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 9:19:06 PM)

This has to be a wind up. It has worked [8D]

amen



goodwoodrw -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 9:22:35 PM)

Add me to the list, on the like side. I must admit my first impression was it looked a bit crisp, newish and non battle worn, but as an image I really liked it. I think it's the sort picture that would grab the eye sitting on a retail shelf and that's what its all about at the end of the day.



Nikel -> RE: Why is picture on box so fake? (12/20/2010 10:16:43 PM)

The label is 2 cm Flugabwehrkanone (Flak) 30 light anti-aircraft gun mounted on a Krupp Protz Kfz 69 [:)]
