soviets also had petrol to put into the objects which they fashioned from steel, which is a large bonus tbh

That was one of the reasons, also Hitler's incompetence at war strategy. He should have gone straight to Moscow instead of taking a detour to Ukraine.

And then after his failed invasion of Russia, the Americans joined the war.

If Yanks did not have A bomb, the soviets could have rolled right over the Western Allied forces in Europe if they felt like it.

11-01-2016 , 02:42 PM

ww2 is easy enough to understand because it really was good vs evil, even if the soviets were a bit dodgy.

ww1 is baffling. for no good reason everyone just decided on this massive war where people died at insane rates nonstop for 4 years. with no clear goals other than moving a few borders 50-100km to one side or another or some such. no real heroes or villains. just everyone dying. total complete waste.

totes serious about the coats thing btw, silly adolf thought he could do the whole of russia before winter hit & calculated that giving his troops proper coats would send the wrong message (ie we might be in it for the long haul here lads) & would damage morale. no need for a proper coat private schweinsteiger, we'll be home before winter hits!

first thing the germans did after winning a firefight with the soviets was go round nicking all the super warm soviet coats off the dead bodies

Any interest in an FA Cup sweep? Thinking £5 in, each taking a home and away team so 32 runners, prizes for semis onwards, LMS from non PL/non PL or Championship, biggest round 3 defeat, other stuff to keep most entrants live. Will organise + hold money if there'll be enough interest to fill, I'm usually not super busy in the summer

that's a very simplistic view. the 'good' did their fair share of horrible pointless things too, and has been doing in many wars since then.

I'm in 64, why not. Especially interested if YKY will trade me the winners again
11-01-2016 , 05:08 PM
Poppies not allowed.

Good, about time.

I'm in assuming you're good enough at poker to recover the prizepool after you've wasted it away

I'll join a random FA Cup sweep, the more neutral EV and the less effort/skill required from me the better

It was the snow, rather than the cold, that halted the German advance.
The mud that followed really finished them off.

Not neutral EV. DUCY?
11-01-2016 , 07:41 PM
In for sweep
11-01-2016 , 07:54 PM
Yeah in for sweep as well

Must be November. Poppy's are in the news.

I see some politician has already had a go at McClean because he didn't wear one on Saturday. Seriously time to give up on this.
