German Phrase

I have been wondering a long time... When I click on Pioneers sometimes they say (sounds like)

'Vast Voogency? vaht do you vant?'  What's the first phrase?

Re: German Phrase

I believe they first talk German and then translate it:
"Was wollen Sie? What do you want?"

Re: German Phrase

actually it sounds more like "Was wunschen sie?" Wunsch/Wunschen = wish/to wish. So relic might have actually got that one wrong when they follow up with 'what do you want'

Re: German Phrase

Another one that gets me is the PE grens say along the lines of "group up into schutzen hoodle(?) whats that last word I think the first word is the german way of saying shooter or rifleman.

Re: German Phrase

Theyre saying 'schutzen-rudel' (dont know exact german spelling of it). 'Schutzen rudel' is some sort  german  infantry patrol formation,  kind of like a 'recon in force', 'advance on contact' or a probe of some sort.

The Schützenrudel is a wide, open formation which is used to get cover behind f.e. stonewalls. It's also used too cross open Terrain all together.

Schützenrudel- literally 'protective pack/horde'

Re: German Phrase

ever noticed that the PE forces say some rather strange things??
Like " Oh No Deinhard!!!" or " The clouds are dark. I guess thats why it is called Blitzkrieg!"
Some of their comments are funny.
But some are overconfident and nationalistic(a bit) like " Kampfgruppe Lehr has proven its superiority once more" xD
