It was small but interesting, although unfortunately nearly all in Czech.<BR/><BR/>There was a fascinating video of actual newsreel footage of the Czech mobilisation of summer 1938. I have to confess that some of it did give me pause for thought in respect of my estimation of the capabilities of the Czech military back then; eg. the clips showed biplane fighters, which presumably would've been outclassed by the Luftwaffe's Me109's.<BR/><BR/>So I'm really not sure if my old views can hold up. Which is why I really want to read those books! ;)"A bit political on yer ass!"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14159828235164365125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15376630.post-52895969590076378742009-01-13T00:32:00.000+00:002009-01-13T00:32:00.000+00:00Hello again AP.

And yes, as long as I've got time to play games, I guess I'll find time to blog about them too.<BR/><BR/>On the Czech thing: you're repeating what I've long thought, which can be summed up as:<BR/>1. The German army in summer 1938 wasn't the machine it became a year later.<BR/>2. The Czech army was materially and strategically in a position to wage a defensive war which should've been able to buy time for an Anglo-French attack on Germany that could've succeeded because of the preceding point.<BR/><BR/>Apparently the new research is confirming that the Anglo-French armies of summer 1938 were simply as incapable of winning a fighting war against Germany as they were a year later. Like I said, interesting stuff.<BR/><BR/>Happy new year to you to AP. ;)"A bit political on yer ass!"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14159828235164365125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15376630.post-59788950821642135952009-01-12T08:32:00.000+00:002009-01-12T08:32:00.000+00:00Hi there.

In the scenario, if the czechs were involved also I'd certainly put my money on the anti-fascists. That, afterall, was one of the reasons that so much effort was put into chopping them up diplomatically in the first place?<BR/><BR/>If you play East Front, we could even organise some online scenarios to check out my theory...<BR/><BR/>Happy Hogmonay BTWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
