Serbian Rifleman (Feb 08, 2008 )

I for one am really tired of the OT political discourse. Enough with the jingoism already. Most of us look to this thread & the others like it for Sandris' wonderful units. Please, please, take this to the OT forum before Plotinus spanks us all.

It would go better to the History forums. I find OT to be rather tedious, predictable, monotonous and mindless. Intelligent dialogues are few and far between there.

Again, great unit Sandris!! Hopefully many more to come!

Right On! We can now hijack this thread for at least another couple of pages to argue about where to move the argument.

Nice unit... Any plans to do a WWII/early cold-war Yugoslav infantry (armed with a 59/66 SKS... A fine rifle, I might add)?

Yes, but Serbia used 19th century Riflemen in WW1

Interestingly enough, so were the French... At the beginning of the war, they were still using the old uniform with red Kepi hat, blue jacket and red trousers... Heck, they even had ZUOVE units during WWI (speaking of which, Sandris, if you were to make a French/US Civil War Zuove rifleman, I'll personally send you a dozen of my mom's home-made chocolate-chip cookies the next time she makes some!)

USA is doing what Nazi Germany and Communist USSR did... they assimilate countries to their way of living and their rule! don't forget that real democracy was founded in ancient Greece, did once mighty Greek assimilated their neighboring countries to live in democracy? its funny that ancient Greece was more democratic than the "DEMOCRATIC" world today...

Not really a relevant comparison. Greek democracy wasn't like modern day democracy. So I guess since they invented it their governments were more democratic like. Nobody was allowed to vote except for well to males. I agree the current wars aren't what they say they are however.

Moderator Action: Enough with the political/historical/OT discussion!

Take it to the History forum.

You know a discussion is going to achieve nothing when people are talking about eighty-year-old events in the first person plural...

For sure a ZOUAVE unit would be welcome. BTW in modern French (at least in the 60's) the word means "person acting silly, in a funny way"... that means a lot About a US civil war one I have some pics of them (various versions).

And can you imagine those poor old Serbian riflemen outnumbered against mighty Empire of Austria-Hungary?
and they still won the first two major battles!

Battle of Cer
Battle of Kolubara

and then they called up for German troops and Bulgarian so Serbia fell!

I was speaking of the present, not the First World War when I used that first person plural.

On topic note:
Sandris, you said that the animations were the same as the Russian riflemen set. Both the rifle and bayonet thrust attacks I'm assuming?

Very good man!

Wonderful unit!

Yes, it's a plain truth. Serbian troops in 1914-1915 have been temporarily liberated part of Austrian Bosnia.

И еще. Partizanac, в России все знают. Мы, как обычно, с Вами, друже. Держитесь.
