The reason I'm a little ticked off (a little, not a lot mind you) is that you keep saying my analogy regarding Russia vs Germany is so grossly flawed.

I was making a simple illustration of how a significantly superior numerical advantage can overcome superior technology and tactics.

If you are going to go after every single little minutia and detail to make the comparison, which was what I think you where going for, of course it's not going to match. I think most people here can understand the basics of what I'm trying to point out.
Was not my intention to tick you off so apologies if I did. I still think what you posted seemed to show a lack of knowledge of the time period and I still think it's deeply flawed (you used much better examples in your response to my reply). It's never my intention to rile or upset anyone and I welcome debate such as this. Your thread is a good one and whilst I disagree with a large part of your argument I still welcome the opportunity for debate. After all, your opinion isn't any more or less worthy than mine at the end of the day. (I still think I'm right though )
