RE: Blitz Questionnaire - BRM_3K
What is your name?
Alex
How did you decide upon your Blitz nickname?
I wanted something AFV-ish but a bit obscure – do you know what a brm-3k is??
What ladders are you represented on?
Just Steel Panthers
What is your favorite PC War-game?
Steel Panthers !!
Who has been your hardest opponent?
The first time I beat Skotty702 it felt like, and was, a real achievement. I never managed to beat Narwan, and most of the SPR crew are too tough for me………..
How long have you been a member of the Blitz?
Wow, just looked – 4 years!
What War interests you the most?
WW2
If you could choose to be present at one historical event what would it be?
One where I survive……..
What is your favorite War movie?
Das Boot possibly, there are a lot that are pretty good.
What do you snack on while gaming?
Nothing, eating or drinking at the PC is NOT recommended!
What is your favorite and least favorite aspect of the Blitz website?
It’s a good community, often interesting discussions to be had. It would be good if a few more people contributed to discussions.
Do you own any war memorabilia?
No, my wife thinks I have far too much useless stuff already (no disrespect to memorabilia collectors)
What is the best military book you have read?
Bomber by Len Deighton. An example of fiction being a better read than fact. Deighton covers the effects of a major British bomber raid on the people who are involved, ie British aircrew, German nachjagd, civilians on both sides.
What do you think was the single most important event of WWII?
There wasn’t a single thing that can be picked out but Churchill becoming British leader was highly significant in that if he hadn’t it is likely that we would have reached some kind of accommodation with Hitler. The Russian winter was probably the biggest turning factor.
What is the most interesting documentary you have ever watched?
The World at War series………It ought to be mandatory at school, but I think these days the curriculum is more directed towards apologies for slavery than the great things in British history
What is your favorite version of Steel Panthers?
SPWW2 – ATGM’s spoil MBT a bit.
Are there any war games catching your eye at present?
No, I have given up buying “fashion items”, I’ll stick with SP thanks.
What piece of wisdom would you like to pass on to your fellow Blitz members?
It’s only a game………..
