ORIGINAL: Hamsters at War
The last advance on the Western Front; Operation Wacht am Rein. This fluffy yet fearsome looking hamstergrenadier was but one of the 1,000s of unheralded hammies that participated in the Battle of the Bulge. The loses among the rodent units on both sides were staggering. The Allies listed their rodent casualties at 75% (killed, wounded, molting). The Germans originally claimed losses of 65% but inspection of captured Wermacht and Waffen-SS records after the war revealed that losses of 90% were more likely. (author's collection)

ORIGINAL: Hamsters at War
Excerpt from famous Cat Poem:

Hamsters to the right of us,
Nutria to the left of us!
Charge oh puss brigade
o'er to the wain we go....

The lifeless bodies of dead hamstergrenadiers bear grim witness to the savagery of the fighting that US's hamster destroyer units faced on the outskirts of Carentan in 1944. Here, a two cat team "mans" a .30 caliber machine gun, a sneer of contempt on the face of the loader. Only introduced in 1944 hamster destroyer units soon gained a reputation as some of the most effective troops of the war. (Author's collection)

After discovering that landing craft made of rocks could not float, let alone carry the heavy hamster tank, the nutria, Germany abandonded all thoughts of a cross-channel invasion. Here a waterlogged Nutria expresses its disgust after sinking into a stream during a training exercise. Originally bred in South America, it is a little known fact that the reason so many ex-Nazis were welcomed into the area after the war because of their respect of the nutria's combat abilities. Many former Third Reich officers were recruited to train nutria for combat in South America.

Kharkov 1943 - Hamster-SS Oberfluffsturmführer peers over a wall inside the city. The orchestrators of the Kharkov Counteroffensive, Erich von Manstein and Paul Hausser never officially admitted that they had utilized rodent units in the attack but after the war it was confirmed that the 2nd SS "Die Ratte" division was used to infiltrate Soviet lines prior to the main attack. Their mission was to gnaw through communications wires and ignition wires in Soviet tanks. They carried out the assignment beyond the wildest expectations of the German High Command.

3 Points awarded!! I think so. The experts who made the quoted original posts would know better. But I think the Panzergrenadiers might have been under the control of Doctor Joseph Gerbils?

Oh,yeah! That was very cool. I had never seen a Tickle Me Elmo doll that would actually do that, much less stand up again in the end. Wonderful engineering in a toy!

Looking forward to the SS Hamster Panzergrenadier WW2 Campaigns! It will probably be pretty tough to stand against them as the Allies.

Ahh, the Allies have a secret weapon: Robot cat in various camo color fur:

However, the hamster panzergrenadier battalions might stoop to using catnip bullets and artillery rounds to incapacitate the Allies.
The PC version of the game would then not need a good AI.

Everything is fair play for comedy for those possessing a genuine sense of humor. One man's opinion to be sure, but there are plenty of bad things in life to cry over. I much prefer laughter myself.

Having said that, I fully respect everyone's opinion and support their right to have one. Like discrimination, that actually works in both directions, despite what some would have you believe. I think "E" and "rommel222" have a great sense of humor, and are very talented and clever with their manipulation of historical, graphic images. Again, only one man's opinion who, like everyone else in the great scheme of things, really matters very little.

Maybe if we erect an exercise wheel in their line of travel, we could entice them into abandoning their vehicles. They would certainly be more vulnerable if we could pry them out of that Soviet steel.

Actually, they well know about this "problem" ...because they are the source! AND they let it go on and on and on for years. The quotes above are the actual original gestation of this oft misquoted source material, herein quoted for posterity and accuracy.

However, BFC never suspected they would actually show up on the Eastern Front and in the Desert. So to our everlasting dismay, BFC DID e-licence everything necessary for them to live in newer OS's, no matter their actual pixelated environment.
