Thanks guys I appreciate the support But the most important part is that I did it all by myself with out the help of Otto or Peppy! ( no more bothering them! )
thanks guys seen quite well now......... deje vue Slon the unit that held my avatar was up in the air with the Soviets on a more than frequent basis during the spring of 45.... ouch !!
Nice av indeed, a very colorful and powerful use of color. Speaking of which does anyone know what weapon the flag bearer is carrying on his back in the Reichstag flag photo? It looks like it might be a captured mp40, but I'm not familiar enought with soviet weapons of the day to know what else it might be. It is circled below.
Hmmm.... This is a little more tricky then I thought. I will look into my Russian sources and see if I can come up with an answer. But I must say Otto, that your assumption does not seem unrealistic.
I have a larger resolution version of that pic that blows up very well and it does look a lot like the MP-40. However, I am far, far, far from being knowledgeable about Soviet small arms to be able find other weapons to compare to the German one.
My reputation says "I have a spectacular aura", or words to that effect. How many brownie points do I need to reach sainthood?
Speaking of reputations, I can see in the User CP what reputation lines I received, but it would be nice to be able to see what reputation did I dish out myself. Also just buy looking at the little green squares (or red) people have, it would be interesting to see the associated texts. Names could be witheld. Cheers! Za
I like the new "rep" buttons. They are easier access too. In fact befor ethe new system I did not know I could "rep" members and be "repped". Today I noticed the new weighscales symbols + the anti-Troll buttons
And now on the Member List we can't see the Rep rating the member has. If you ask me this forum is going from worse to utterly worse!
I'll just gather up a couple of my buddies. I'll tell them you gradjeated from the Cow College across the state.
