I was hoping to try this out today, being a sucker for WWII.This game is a bit more complex than COD or such shooters. If its too much for you to ask about game mechanix in chat or read game wiki, then this game obviously not for you. Cause game gonna be in time even more complex and deep!
I've registered and installed the game, but logging in seems to take forever, maybe it's a problem with the site?
EDIT: Nevermind, worked after I tried it with Chrome.
EDIT II: Now it says I cannot join any "wars", because they or the factions are full, even though the indicator reads 150/1000 on both factions.
Here is a screenie: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/09/1362056796-wai.png
EDIT III: So I finally got into the character/campaign screen. After pressing Enter Battle I had to wait 5 minutes for the matchmaking, then another 100 seconds for the game to start and forever to spawn. All I did was stare at some locked camera angle for 10 minutes and I never got to spawn, then the battle was over and I was rewarded 1200 ingame currency almost as a compensation for not being able to play the game at all. Well that sucked some serious balls.
I would like Melee to be far superior to BannerlordIf it ever will be released...
I can make a better heraldic brigandine than the one in that link. I even might, if I had any hope of getting it ingame any time soon. But it takes the devs forever to implement new items, so I can't bring up the motivation to do any work.This!
Finland didn't get all the pows back after the war. Soviet Union even denied that there were any Finnish pows left. Finland kept asking for those still missing and Soviet Union released some of them 10 years after the war. The pows that got returned were just skin and bones. Those released also reported that other Finns were still in the camps. They were never returned.It could be finns who fought in waffen-SS divisions and were accussed in war crimes. I am not sure. But most of finnish soldiers were released very soon after war. I have to say about Finland-USSR relations. Despite winter war, and that finns participated in Leningrad blockade, there was kinda silent agreement between two countries. Finns didn't let wehrmacht to march through their land, and finns didn't advanced too far as n/azis wanted them. In late war finns even declared war to germany lapland war. So after war USSR allowed to keep independence to Finnland without any attempts to sovietization. I think finns was very smart and farsighted nation to live in peace with Soviet Russia.
Hmmm. I have to post here now too. My Grandfather was POW in Siberia for 8 Years.Interesting story of your grandfather. I don't think that he has any reason to tell you lies!
What he told me was mostly good stuff: They always had enough to eat and were treated really good (WAY better then Russians in German camps). Of course often prisoners died of diseases, but not due the lack of food. Just because many of them were ill and weak already before.
Also one thing he told me especially gave me something to think about (I know some of you may not believe that or whatever, but I have NO DOUBT this is true, because I trust my grandfather):
One day some of the Russian prisoner-guards beated some prisoner brutally, he already was on the ground and they kept beating him (I don´t know the reason). A Russian officer advanced in a jeep (he had seen it from some other spot in the camp) and asked whom of the guard started this, as one of them said he started beating the prisoner the officer immediately took out his pistol and shot him in the head. The officer told them that he won´t tolerate torture or beating of prisoners without any exception and that he will punish every soldier who still does that with death.
Of course, my grandfather may have been "lucky" and there were much worse camps (I don´t even doubt that).
They also had German doctors in that camp who checked most prisoners regularly.
