"A big fricking gun"

lol

I guess you could look up famous artillary pieces, I dunno. Not much help am I?
:rolleyes:

...And god spoke : search my son and you will find. :D :D :D

Well, why not go for "Bamse", "Karl Gustaf" and some other bofors-canon???... Gripen, P-skott, GrG, etc.

Edit: ok, just reread it... german canons... hmmm .. no clue...attans!

use bertha or most guns had girls names

Olga, Marlene and Frida
:D :D :D

Dora - huge railway gun, can't remember calibre
Leopold - 280mm railway gun
Karl - 600mm tracked mortar with rail transporter

Dora - 800mm --> Random Site (http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1167/edora.html)

Thanks to Drag0n and Mystic_Kruger for the female name theme, I think I will go with Doris, Marlene and Fredrika.

But Olga sound to much like an old car then a precition tool of destruction. :D

Doris sounds American, and Fredrika doesn't sound terribly Germanic.

I'd recommend Dora, Marlene and Frida.

Ein, Zwei, Drei ;)

Frida is Scandinavian (Sweden - Abba :)) IMO.

Most special weapons of the Germans were named after Nordic Gods and famous german historic figures. Rarely do you see them named after women. No offense to any of the ladies we might have here on these boards offcourse :)

yea, norse gods..Odin (god of gods), Thor (god of thunder) and Loki (god of mischief and luck).

@Kehldon:

1. Don't call me mystic, I am not a black voodoo, thx
2. The battery commander called the guns with the name of the gun crew commander
3. Remember: "And god spoke: search my son and you shall find, my son"

Well, the Norse theme is quiet good too... But if you think Doris is too american then Loki, Thor and Odin isnt really correct since its the american spelling... any germans here? I know its Loke, Tor and Oden in swedish which is more correct ...

Mythic_Kruger: Sorry for missreading your name but you are getting a bit enoying with that, I said it once to ch1ck3n when obviously hadnt search this board for an obvious answer. Now Im pretty sure that this board dont hold the answers to what names I shall give my 3 artillery pieces and Im pretty sure people will not tell me what to name them if I dont ask them. If you dont stop nagging me its gonna be, Fredrika, Gretchen and Kruger :D

And mythic and mystic is the same thing according to dictionary, I had to look it up. :P

I am german :D

I'll look around and see if I find some old guns , with namews and pics, and post 'em here tommorow allright ?

I was more intrested in what the norse gods Thor, Odin and Loki was called in german?

well my mum is studying Old Norse and Viking studies in university :) and she says in norse they are spelt Tor, Odin and Loki or Lokki, ill get back to u on the lokki

depending on their positions, they could be like 'Northern' 'Eastern' 'Southern' and/or 'Western'

ok..ive asked my mum in greater detail.

loki is the right spelling

other gods:
Ull = god of archery (kinda artillery ;))
Njord = god of the sea (is it a beach map?)
Heimdall = also a god of the sea
Eir = godess of healing
Var = godess of mariage oaths
Snotra = Godess of selve disciplin

they are all norwiegan spelling

hope that helps: id stick with Tor, Odin and Loki

did u find what u needed??

Yeah thanks!

Ill go with the norse theme :)

well in german thies gods are spelled

thor
odin and loki so just in case u asked for the spelling
