Re: Excellent article on Afghanistan

Once again, that was during the first two months of it being established. In the end, Leningrad had a population of 640,000, that were supplied. In addition, you have to keep in mind that the Red...

Re: Excellent article on Afghanistan

Re: Excellent article on Afghanistan

In the Leningrad Case I was referring to the Road of Life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_of_Life If the Red Army could have done that, over treacherous ice, under severe Nazi bombardment, than...

Re: Excellent article on Afghanistan

The quote was from more of a documentary, than an actual movie type thing, I should have clarified that earlier. From what I gathered, the people were conscripted, and out of those conscripted some...

Re: Excellent article on Afghanistan

Re: Excellent article on Afghanistan

The volunteer quote comes from a Russian movie about the Afghanistan War. Also, I'd like to point out that even if said movie is incorrect, the Red Army never had more than 10 percent in Afghanistan....

Re: Anybody else make silly mistakes

I like sniper teams. I like to place two snipers in a single hex, but sometimes I click, and the sniper does anything to avoid buddying up with his fellow sniper. Into the road he goes, and I grumble...

The ORBAT of the 2008 South Ossetia War

But isn't it called the Russo-Georgian War? Nope. Wars are named either for location, or in agressor-defender format, and Russia didn't fire the first shot. 2008 South Ossetia War is what Wikipedia...

Re: Ideas on Improving Russian ORBAT (Infantry)

I like this idea :D

It is intended for certain, very specific scenarios. It shouldn't be general use, at least not until more data comes out on how it's used. To my knowledge, the 2008 South...
