POW RULES

POW rules were 'invented' by Frau Helga many years ago, she (yes a woman!) tried these rules on a few of the first online combat games to add realism and depth.
When H&D2 came she experimented on how to put the old POW rules she hadnt used for years on this new game, it was a huge success.
So much even that other people claimed they invented it, although in many cases Frau Helga remembers explaining them the rules and that nobody else was playing POW style before she introduced it.
Frau Helga isnt too bothered about this, most hardcore POW-players know the truth anyway.
It is simple to check whos telling the truth as many of the original POW-players know the history behind the game, when it was first tried out, who knew about it, etc.
One of the first to experiment on the then new POW rules was Crusti, he was so enthousiastic that he decided to build a special map for this gamemode.
The map was also a huge success, and just like the gamerules people started claiming they made the map...POW-players know better.
POW gaming is now a common part of online H&D gaming.

Partisan rules came about after a few long POW games and the desire by Frau Helga to play a civilian/partisan, something that seemed impossible at the time.
POW-player Crusti once more helped out and a supermap was made, one with civilian gear and perfectly suitable for the new rules.
Later on Wespe joined the team and build the now famous partisans maps, we're now ready to enjoy version 4.0 and have created the new Last Train Out map!
The gametype is rather new, the map is still being perfected, but again this gametype seems to be a success.
