    MAW

    Does anyone out there know where I can beg, borrow, or steal a DVD of MAW? A friend of mine downloaded it for me when it was still extant on the web, unfortunately he downloaded on a CD.[/B] Batman sends.

    Sherman V T-34 V Panzer IV.....?

    I am a veteran of that little War and do know a little of what transpired there. The North Koreans came South with a re-inforced Tank Regiment and , as far as I know, left with none. During the occupation of Japan in deference to Japanese roads all the Medium tanks had been mothballed and...

    Sherman V T-34 V Panzer IV.....?

    There was no combat between M-4 Sherman the T-34 in WWII. However, in Korea the "Easy 8" made dog-meat out of the T-34-85. With its piss-poor 75MM short barreled gun it was no match for any Panzer except for the very first models. With the addition of a 76MM by the British (the firefly) it...
