I just got sent a virus from CMMODS, so be careful if you get any email from administration@cozog.com The virus is called W32.Beagle.M@mm and details can be found at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.beagle.m@mm.html My Nortons nailed it straight away, so update your virus software if you have to.

Mantra, The Hooded One, My copy of CMAK arrived in Taiwan this morning (sunday)

Mine arrived today in Taiwan. Great service from BFC, but then that's no surprise now, is it?

Dandelion, thanks for your help Yes, it was a Cromwell of the 22nd Armoured Brigade, 5th Royal Tank Regiment. Interestingly, there is a picture of a 'Dingo' from the Divisional Reconnaissance Regiment, the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars, with the same red,stag head symbol. Were they considered part of the 22nd Brigade rather than the division? BTW, that's a great website, with lots of detailed info. All this makes me nostalgic for CMBO. Might have to reinstall it! Thanks again for the info.

I'm looking at this picture of a tank from the British 7th armoured division and there's this symbol on a tank that has me puzzled. It's a red stag/deer on a white background. Anyone know what it meant?

Lenakonrad, both Yankeedog and Sergei are largely correct! Basque is not related to Hungarian. But Yankeedog is right about many people thinking that Basque is perhaps the original "proto-IndoEuropean language". Basque is one of that small group of languages called "isolates" where nobody has found a connection to any other language. There are lots of unanswered questions about the Basque language. If you're really interested, look at the Encyclopedia of Language by David Crystal, which is in many Libraries and has a large section on Language families and discusses Basque.

Jamesroe16, here's a website with some good general info about Axis/Allied units in WWII. Gary Kennedy's Site

Michael, I found something that might be useful to you in "Grossdeutshland" by M. Sharpe & Brian Davis, which has an old picture of your website in the reference section at the back The book is only 96 pages, but has some nice photo's, good TOE's and is generally a better intro to the Unit's history and organization than the Lucas book. Anyway, according to them from 3 Sept '44 to 18 Feb '45, the commander of Panzer-Fusilier-Regiment Grossdeutschland was Oberst Heinz von Brese-Winiary. The book is not so specific about the Panzergrenadier Regiment, but indicates that Oberst Lorenz was commander until June '44 and from July '44 Major Kriegk was in charge. How long Kriegk was CO is not shown in the book. Hope that helps a little.

AFAIK, and maybe someone might correct me, you don't suffer a penalty, in terms of accuracy or time delay, for lower experience. So, when buying art and using a pre-planned strike, a green FO is as good as a Regular and cheaper too.

No, they don't need LOS

Scipio, take a look at Russian Tanks of WWII Bean & Fowler ISBN 0760313024 175 A4 pages, b&w photos, good text and a useful appendix at the back. [ December 30, 2002, 12:20 AM: Message edited by: Viceroy ]

Pavlov, AFAIK, they would be: 1/ Tank hunters, Waffen SS, Motorized Infantry, and infantry after Nov '44. The last 3 above all tend to be better armed with more firepower than regular infantry. 2/Security troops were used mostly for guarding rear areas and/or anti-partisan operations. Usually of lesser quality than front line troops. 3/Cavalry were literally cavalry and used by the Germans mostly for anti-partisan stuff. Russians used them as front line troops.

I got mine here in Taiwan this morning. Great service by BFC, but then that's what I expected. Only problem is my computer has just died Oh well, by next week I should be able to enjoy CMBB. The manual looks good and should keep me occupied for a few days.
