Interplay Forced to Liquidate (France)
genrader writes "Voodoo Extreme is reporting that Interplay has had judicial liquidation take place. If you've been reading the gaming news, a lot has been going on with Interplay financially, it seems all this finally caught up to them. Interplay has formerly published very well known games like Icewind Dale, the Baldur's Gate series, and Descent. Farewell, Interplay." Update: 01/06 02:57 GMT by H : This affects just the company in France; sorry for the confusion.
> Germany tried to liquidate france twice, didn't really get close.
"Didn't get close"? Hell, the first time, they came within sight of Paris. Twice. The second push would've made it if we hadn't provided the troops to hold 'em off. The second time they succeeded and we had to come in and give them their country back, for which they have never forgiven us.

Bull. Hitler was certainly trying to get nukes, but it wasn't going well. He wasn't anywhere near having them. Hitler would've been the one *getting* nuked; the Manhattan Project for most of its lifetime assumed its result would be used on Germany, not Japan.
> sherman against panther ? oh dear...
If Russia had folded, we probably wouldn't have invaded until '45. Pershing against Panther is a considerably better matchup. Plus the air supremacy which kept the Panthers in '44 from being any match for the inferior Shermans. If Russia had folded, it would've been maybe two years longer, and MUCH bloodier. But we still would've won. Even in winning in Russia, the Germans would've left much of their strength buried on the steppes.
