I've done aikido for about 4-5 years. Its not the most efficient style of self defence, to be learnt quickly and simply, but for a trained person it gives nearly unlimited understanding of movement, balance, constant control, distribution of mass, "flow", "the moment of intention of attack" etc...

>>The Witcher 2. LOl. Im playing rpg's since 80ies (yeah, text ones, black screen and text. wonderful)), and Witcher2 is currently the best story-driven fantasy-RPG evar in 21st century. I believe only non-fantasy dudes or people without... err.. would find it bad... As for the bad games...

No, i dont think it is trivial. That year was the only year, when these numbers were so high. (never again the soviet army retreated in such numbers later, though battles were fierce) I do think they were mostly shooting the deserters, not the retreating units. It was within the moral of...

Oh. You know numbers. Good. 1941 was the hardest year (6mln of the army lost.. retreating on all fronts.. not so nice). Exactly. Out of 600 000 caught deserters, 10 000 were shot... this is about 2% of all deserters. So, if you run, you have a 2% to be shot as a traitor afterwards. (And these...

Myths in this topic. 1. Russian won with numbers and bodies. Not true. Nearly all the time the number of opposing german\russian forces was comparible. After initial defeats (in Barbarossa campaign) - professionalism of the soviet army was quite high, such as the technical eqipment (at...

It's nice to see that some people do actually know history.(see post 91 for ex.) In eastern front the combined casualties of soviet and german forces were about 14 000 000 (!!!) VS (excluding wounded, died in captivity etc.) in western front (starting from D-day 44-45) combined...
