World War II Russian Mine Dog from the game Streets of Stalingrad
You never know when history is going to come up and bite you. Recently I changed my forum avatar to a cute and cuddly thing called a "mine dog" (a Russian dog which carried explosives underneath enemy tanks in World War II) to celebrate my friend Dana Lombardy’s game called Streets of Stalingrad. This picture is on the left and it is one of the cardboard counters used in the game…
Then, to my surprise another friend of mine was working on the same theme with some of his LEGO creations, making a LEGO "mine dog" which he proudly has displayed on Flickr. You MUST check it out!
And, in marginally related news dealing with "history" in a different sense, does anyone remember the game Dog Daze? It is ancient history but I spent many an hour of my youth playing it.
