Marnix

Same as always... "when it's ready!"

Hi Tom, A nice place to visit, if you have the time, would be the War & Resistance Museum (Oorlogs- en Verzetsmuseum) at Overloon (Scipio, is this the museum you were talking about?). It's about 70 km south of Arnhem, off the A73 highway. I was there last year and took a bunch of pictures. Lots of armor, though many pieces could use some work. There is an interesting Panther G restoration project going on at the moment, though. I haven't been to the Airborne Museum at Arnhem yet, so I can't tell you anything about it. But they have a web page. Hope this helps! Marnix.

Hey guys, if you weren't at the Tankfest you missed quite a show! We went back the next day to have a look inside the museum itself, and wound up spending the rest of the day there (and we hurried!). Here are some more pictures for your viewing pleasure, in all their un-edited glory: my Tank Museum photo pages with pictures from Bovington (and Tankfest 2002), Munster, Saumur and Overloon.

Michael, perhaps this page with Vehicles of the Wehrmacht on Achtung Panzer! could be of use?

That's odd, they say they reviewed the retail version (from CDV), yet they only have PBEM support? Doesn't the retail version come with the 1.12 patch? :confused: Marnix.

I never cared for nationalism much, so that rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I'm reading a little too much into this, though...

They also tend to be short on chaff.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> c- IIRC, during the Rolling Thunder campaign, US fighter pilots were required to visually confirm the identify of enemy planes by the markings on the wings, to prevent them from accidentally shooting down Chinese MiGs. By the time you get that close, you're way past the optimum firing distance for most missiles...

Amen to that! So are the 12, 15 and 18 y/o (progressively more expensive of course). I haven't had the chance to try the 25 y/o yet though. Or the 40 y/o, but that one will probably remain out of my reach forever (at about US$2000 a bottle ). When I visited The Macallan distillery last year, I saw they also sell a 1920s, 1930s, 1950s and 1960s-style Macallan, attempts to recreate the taste from those periods (the 1940s is apparently inferior, not surprising when you consider the shortages of just about everything during those years). Has anyone here tried one of those 'historical' Macallans? Marnix. [This message has been edited by Marnix (edited 03-02-2001).]

29. I noticed some of you guys are keeping a running count of the average age, how about some histograms? Marnix.
