Hi,all!

The squadron's motto are pretty cool, esp. in WCCCG. Trying to collect it, but I got big troubles. Cannot correctly read them from CCG scanned cards. Can You help me with this little thing? Maybe someone early did this work?
TIA
 
Is this what you mean? These are from the Terran Squadrons. LOAF typed it up a while ago.

Big thanx, guys, without You I think it will be more difficult. And the names for kilrathi squads?

Whoa, now you're asking too much! ;)

Nah, it's okay, I'm sure our humble and modest Bandit LOAF must have typed those up as well...
 
Can someone provide a translation for the Latin mottoes?

I think a cool one might be

"Fabricatus Diem!"

Respectfully,

Brian P.
 
I'm not sure, but I think "super Omnia" translates as "above all" or "over all", so "Honor super Omnia" would be something like "Honor above all", and the others like that should be easy enough to translate.

I'm no scholar of Latin, so I wouldn't put all your faith into this, I only got this info from a CD lyric sheet...
 
I think Mekt-Hakkikt studies latin... perhaps he could help you out... Even Sonntag...

(God, this feels really awkward for an Italian... in Italy studying latin is compulsory, but I went to high school in France, hence I only did three years... :D )

I'm going into my third year of Latin in a couple months. Maybe I can make out a couple of these...

Noli Timere I think this might be "I do not wish to fear."

Honor, veritas et Victoria Easy enough. "Honor, truth, and victory."

Well, that was fun.
 
I think the best Latin motto is 'veni, vidi, visi.' ;)

Anyway here's my attempt at a loose translation:

C;Arrow;Blue Devil Squadron;ORIGIN Systems, Inc.;Hostis Torquendas - 'Torment of the Enemy'
U;Arrow;Crimson Knight Squadron;ORIGIN Systems, Inc.;Fortis in Aeternum - 'Courage Everlasting'

I still love the Asterix comics' take on Caesar: "I came, I saw... and I couldn't believe my eyes!" (upon seeing his troops humiliated by a handful of Gauls)
 
I'll post the furball quotes today when I get home from work. (Or maybe after I go see Tomb Raider...)
 
When i go to do an exam. i say *Alea Jact Est* the BEST !!!!, is mi Kabalah !!!!!

Then there's Bill Murray's take from GHOSTBUSTERS: "We came, we saw, we kicked it's A$$!" :)
