Man I just finished watching Saving Private Ryan. First time I watched it since I started playing MOHAA. Was MOHAA based on that movie? I know it was the same war and all but the background of the battle scenes are eeriely similar to the MOHAA single player game. Coincidence?
Just wondering. --------------------  "Difficulties come and they pass, but it is a shame that sometimes these difficulties must pass like diarrhea" |

The Hitler, uh, excuse me, History Channel did a great documentary piece on the Russian sniper duels. The end of Enemy at the Gates is actually lamer than the actual outcome. The Russian (Zeitsev?) ended up shooting the German through his own scope. He saw the flash of glass, aimed for it and BAM! shot him right through his own scope. Now that is friggan impressive.

Now that is friggan impressive.  Carlos Hathcock did the same thing to a NVA sniper that was hunting him for 2 months.. if you havent heard of Carlos he was one of the best snipers in Vietnam (with a USMC record of 93 confirmed kills, but as he says "the numbers don't matter.. just the fact that by killing one i save thousands.")... one of his exploits was tavelling by helicopter into N. Vietnam, just above the DMZ, and by foot walking half way up to Hanoi and assassinating a N. Vietnamese general, needless to say, no one even knew he was there nor where the shot came from. If you don't know much about Carlos i suggest picking up the novels Marine Sniper and Silent Warrior by Charles Henderson. Great reads and were very interesting.
