But...but he's our (self-proclaimed) expert on mobile warfare! He's going to lecture at West Point! He's the Canadian answer to Guderian, Hausser and Manstein!

Whats funny is that you think your better than me but you still have yet to prove it, if you can't solve the scenario then don't act like your better tacticians.
Actually I do not think I am better than anyone on this forum, but I will not be told what to do by a snotty brat who joins the forum and thinks he knows more than anything and has a chip on his shoulder!

Whooah...slow down.
As has been stated most of us here are historians, not gamers. That's true of a lot of aviation forums, be it here or TOCH or LEMB. We're interested in what actually happened, not what might have happened if this or that had occured.
For us it is facts that count, warfare is not an intellectual abstraction to us. Many here have served in the armed forces and have an insight into the realities of conflict.
The wise know when to listen and not to speak.

If you really are 18 that's pretty sad........
He never said he was a better 'fake tactician' than you. He's a moderator. He's obviously better than you

his post # 7 says it all, he doesn't know squat about airpower vs armor.

d@mn! I must be learning something somewhere, cause I thought the same exact thing when I read it!!!
I never attent to gamers forums, but are all those kids like that and are they allowing this? Throwing insults, and start flaming the moment they join a board?

Unfortunately, alot of the gaming forums and online gaming sites are like that...
Alot of smack-talking and schoolyard attitudes. They're all experts (so they say) and if anyone questions them, they take it as a personal attack and get thier panties all up in a bunch.
It gets old real fast...

Where did you get that piece of information from, because it just isnt correct my friend. For example, during the advance to normandy, I think it was Lehr Division, lost something like 120 vehicles, of which only two were tanks. And this is not extraordinary, it was typical. What airpower did do was to act as a "force multiplier" which reduced the mobility of the German formations and increased the ability of the allies to undertake deep penetration encirclements. The German supply system was also basically shot to pieces by allied air power.
So i suggest you try and get your basic facts right before getting into the water with the big boys
For the record my uppety young friend, I am awargamer too, with over thirty years experience. I have won the Australian Boardgaming championships nine times over a twenty year period, and am a major contributor to the ADG publishing group. I also am a periodic guest lecturere at the RMC officer training school at Duntroon
And I never try to put people down on the basis of my record, until I get confronted with absolute smart arsery
So how do you like them apples......

My favorite is when they think it is so realistic. I was reading a forum about this Modern Warfare game and they were talking about how realistic the game is. I could only laugh and think what they would do when real bullets were coming at them.
Realistic my ass! They are video games and nothing else....
