:lol: :doh: dear god...did you make that just now?

[AztecWarrior]

Yes. If you enable timestamps in IRC, check the gap between when I stopped talking and when I announced the image.

It's from a WW2 strategy game, edited in Paint, don't think I drew the thing :lol:

Info:

The game is Hearts of Iron, a non-real-time strategy game, every Risk nerd's greatest dream. It's a bit biased towards Germany: Look how two German divisions are beating the crap out of the Polish calvary brigades.

If you have it, get the Stony Road to War mod. It's a must.

I don't.

[AztecWarrior]

Then you're an idiot who deserves to DIE.

Just kidding.

[Firefly]

I wouldn't call that biased, I'd call it historically accurate. The Polish army let the Germans trod roughshod all over them. I think they were actually duped by the Nazis into letting them in, but I don't remember off-hand. And no, that isn't a "dumb ******" joke before anyone gets outraged.

Then again, quite honestly? Who the shit uses a bicycle brigade as their cavalry? That also goes for a majority of the militaries during WW2, matter of fact.

or uses said cavalry against tanks...

No, seriously. The game is *really* biased.

As Nationalist Spain I attacked France, outnumbered them, and lost. It takes off offense/defense points during attacks to the point of insanity, esp. if you fight in mountains, forest, etc. You have to plan EVERYTHING. If you attack, but a storm rolls in, you lose, GG.

I think you mean turn based? :D

So wait, You mean the French actually WON a battle? Wow whoever said this wasn't accruate (sp?), I agree.

[AztecWarrior]

A. It's not turn based. I just don't see playing at real-time a possibility, unless you're doing it over six years.

B. The French usually get pwned by Germany real fast. Just sit there and let the PCs do it. If you attack them as a lesser nation, you will probably encounter severe difficulty. I.E. Spain has had no time to reasearch any tactics or upgrade weapons, and it gets owned if it tries to attack.

I have no frieking idea whats going on in that pic...

[Lartnev]

Real time merely means that your units respond in real time as opposed to waiting for their turn.

Methinks anyway. :)
