    Default ETW = Operation Market Garden?

    Another British blunder? there are so many correlations I wouldn't know where to begin.

    Are you saying that the presence of Germans caused it to fail? I wouldn't compare a military operation with a game, in any case.

    We already know that you are disappointed in ETW. I don't see the point of this thread. If you are looking for a reason to discuss Market Garden, just go to the Monastery.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    It has its problems, but it is still fun. I am confident that a majority of major gameplay issues will be fixed, at least.

    I think you misunderstand Beesting! He's referring to the bug that I experienced just last night.

    I was playing as Great Britain and had just successfully invaded the United Provences with a full stack army. I started to lay siege to the regional capital and noticed that apart from the citizen militia there was a full SS Panzer division in the opposing stack.

    Needless to say my line infantry were badly mauled by the panzer grenadiers and accompanying tigers.

    Next time your Spitfires take pictures of a boy on a bycicle pointing at a bunch of Panzers, pay attention!

    That one confuses me even more, because the British didn't participate in Barbarossa. ????

    And for more silly WWII nonsense, search World War II: The Video Game on Uncyclopedia.

    It is terrible when you airdrop your redcoats into Holland and some East Front veterens happened to have been recently transfered there to rest. Tsk.
