I would like to thank JG for his correction to the Dresden firebombing. He is partially right.. the firebombing was carried out by British bombers, in 2 waves but the the third wave, that came exactly on schedule was American. To finish off the destruction of Dresden and finally break the German people, a third wave of bombers came in the next day to bomb the relief crews and refugees that survived the inferno. 450 flying fortresses along with an escort of mustangs can in at low altitude and bombed and shot anything that was left standying or that moved.

If you are interested, this webpage provides more insight: (url="http://"http://netjunk.com/users/library/dresden.htm")http://netjunk.com/u...ary/dresden.htm(/url)
or you could read the Destruction of Dresden by David Irving

Anyway, I would like to thank everyone for their responses to my post. I read them carefully and considered all the things that were said. I would like the topic to go back to the Zidigar, becuase Silver Dragon had a very good post and well becuase the Zidigar are the coolest of all the strands.

PS
If any of you are interested in continuing this discussion, we could open a post in banter and brawl or you could icq me.

By human standards (and admittedly we are dealing with aliens) that sort of action would have you up in front of a war crimes tribunal. I mean that this is men, women, children, cats, dogs, canaries, fuzzies and everything else left on the planet - combatant and noncombatant alike. Hey, they don't even have one of their own do this, but a non-Zidigar mercenary: They seemingly won't take responsibility for their actions. Romanticising this does no good. And making comparisons to the middle ages - please! Civalry as we know it has more to do with Renaissance reconstruction than historical fact.

Just some thoughts

As for my opinion, the Igadzra stink, the Zidagar are better, but the Azdgari are the best by far. Cool ships, strong ships, fast ships, and they can whoop the Zidagar anytime!

Azdgari are also quick to make friends, have a culture based on heroism and valiance - hey that makes them all right by my standards!

Cheers

Not to mention Azdara fighters! Just add a layer of Dospect Armor and a Shield Regenerator and you're practically invincible!
