This video covers the translation of one section (Section IV) from a larger pocket-sized booklet, printed by the German military during the later stages of the Second World War titled 'Panzer Hilft Dur!' translates as 'Panzer Helps You!' Section IV in ‘Panzer Helps You!’ covers the mittlerer Schützenpanzerwagon (Sd.Kfz.251), known as the m.S.P.W. or just S.P.W. To provide context I have included a couple of primers regarding the Sd.Kfz. 251 and German SPW advice on correct use and deployment of SPW.

Combat photography: Photos from the front..
George MC replied to Phantom Captain's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Yeah I was surprised it worked. They key was totally supressing anyone and everything that could possibly engage the incoming SPW. The attack on the left flank did not fair as well but still succeeded. The enemy had a position on a reverse slope I'd not clocked or supressed so flanking fire did knock some gunners down at close range. But as all good propaganda films do I only showed the good bit! -

Yeah TBh I was tad surprised as more often than not I lose guys to the lone hold out... If you look closely you'll see the LH SPW MG gunner nearly gets nailed by an ATR round. The assault group on the far LHS flank was not fairing as well though. You can see the guys in that position are up and firing back (near end of the vid when it pans to the left). -

I like it when a plan comes together! I was rather chuffed that this close assault by my SPW mounted panzer grenadiers worked. Took some previous suppression fire and ensuring I'd KO'd any enemy AT guns, then drive at full speed onto the position, all guns on board blazing. It does not often go quite to plan like this... -

George MC replied to Simcoe's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
That one looks a wee bit unwell? Someone’s **** a big hole in it. But they are useful in this scenario especially close range flank shots. -
Does depend on what you are trying to do - but short answer is yes. You'll have to delete any and all. However if you are willing to accept the original shape of the contour info you can decrease or increase relative heights using the +/- adjust all tool. If its a map devoid of any contour information and starting from scratch, then yup delete them all individually. I use a Wacom tablet and stylus and does make this process easier than using a mouse. In fact if doing anything in the editor esp contour stuff I'd strongly suggest using a tablet and stylus.
