Blood for the Baron!

Yep, the range did not reach its full potential but maybe one day they will! Red Shads forever!!

As for posing, better uniforms... ?!*@%! verboten, dank u well!

Fine, lets leave Zartan and the muscle-mary dreadnoks to polish their helmets, but a Shad Army is far more intimidating than a legion of fussy Cobra primadonnas any day of the week!!

That's why Cobra infantry and officer-types were incomparably inferior to the Shads, all that posing and prancing like t*ts whilst hard-nosed Shads would have been overwhelming the enemy in ferociously suicidal mass attacks!

As for the whole Ironblood-Cobber Commander thing, don't get me started on that disinformation! Would Eisenblut swap his dustbin for a handkerchief-like mask? NEVER!!!

Ha Nur ein uniform vor die ganze arme. You are welcome ( graag gedaan ). Nice that you made an effort in Dutch and German.

Without a doubt they would look awesome nowadays if they remaked those Red Shads and the rest of the AF. But I don?t think it will ever happen. As for the whole idea of Baron Ironblood being Cobra Commander is way to far from a good idea.

Dank u zeer! Das war auch ganz nett von Ihnen!

Het gehele leger kijkt groot in ??n gekke rode goed gedetailleerde helft-rode factie eenvormige!! van het Leger helft-reichswehr plus stokgranaten! De "hel ja" Baron gilt vanaf de dakbovenkanten!

Hopefully I've not managed to offend anyone in translation.

Yeah, today the Shads could evolve to another level. Ideally the old ones would fit in perfectly too as 'the old guard'. It may happen if we become billionaires, who knows. I have maniacal Eisenblut plans for such eventualities as you can probably tell

As for Cobber-Commander being Ironblood, I concur, it was ALL DISINFORMATION!!!! Bad, bad, BAAAAADD FKN marketing department!

He still lurks out there somewhere.... and always will.

Give me the Red Shadows every time. Much harder than Cobra and far more fanatical.

As for the big cheese, Cobra Commander, that is exactly how I have always seen him. Cheesy and very camp, especially the cartoon version. Baron Ironblood was far more effective, IMHO. I always like dthe idea of the Baron disguising himself as one of his Shadows during the Kraken operation.

I cant vote!!! I like them both equally and the same

Seeing as how the Red Shadows copied their uniforms off the coolest outfitted army in history ie the Wehrmacht, it has to be the Shadows

Cobra are cool and I do like their helmet and mask/scarf look, but even their Vipers look better with the faceless full head helmets. but you can't beat the full helmet evil eyed skull and cross bones of the Shadows

The only factor that could sway me to Cobra from the Red Shadows would be the Baroness hmmm Baroness *drools*

Edit - sorry double post

Hey Quickfire as i remember nobody gave you as much s**t as Firefly during Op.Stubborn.I'd have thought he was your favourite enemy.

Shads were always so dumb!How could you gain riches when you've just blown yourself up?

Ah, the Shads were brainwashed, Cobra were mercenaries.

That's why the Shadows always had the more sinister edge - they were fanatics.

Exactly. PLO-Training Camp with Japanese Red Army Faction frisson vs 'Not my problem Guv'.

That's why the Cobbers were fuggin scared sh*tless of the Shads in BAF.
