Red Orchestra

This is a game I picked up t'other day. I must say I am staggared by the amount or realism the producers have managed to put in. Even little things like having to "manually" throw the bolt on a rifle rather than the game doing it automatically, as in you have to fire, then press another button to throw the bolt before you can fire again.

Does anyone else have this game? If not I highly reccommend it. It covers the immense battles of the Eastern Front during WW2.

Tomorrow (or today as it is late) I am going for my annaul camp so I expect answers


See you all in 2 weeks.

Poem found on the body of a British Soldier killed in Northern Ireland:
"Do not stand on my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush ....
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die."

Berlin Cemetery:
Berlin Cemetery's a funny place,
there's seven graves and then a space,
I thought a while, and then I knew,
those seven were a bomber crew.
