  1. And here is a related piece of history: http://www.americainwwii.com/articles/cobra-king-today/
  2. Yes, part of Kampfgruppe Peiper, Schwere SS-Panzer-Abteilung 501.
  3. GaS reached out w/ a PW reset. All sorted now. TY VERY much for your help here.
  4. Ahh...SL/ASL. Bought the original SL (purple box) right after seeing the ad for it in The General - see pic #1. No wargame up to that time looked like that. And, of course I bought most ASL modules, Delux ASL modules, Annuals, 3rd Party stuff and still have it all. But I will never play ASL again because - and let's all be honest here - do I really want to memorize all those rules when a high fidelity PC game like CMx2 will either let me move or shoot something or it won't? Yea, thought so. I attached another screenshot w/ a "brief" (in the ASL world) summary of hedge effects from one of the starter kits. With CMx2 I don't need to determine who has "Wall Advantage" or that weird LOS hedge line across hexes C2/C3, I just move my units and shoot stuff. Oh sweet bliss.
  5. I need a new PW and the PW reset message receives no response. Thanks.
  6. User made scenarios are teaming wit them. It is odd that the MG stock scenarios don't feature a few Tiger IIs from the 506th Heavy Panzer Battalion. Too "Hollywood" I guess.
  7. User1000: Check out the M5s loadout. 12 rounds of canister. Hit the Tiger w/ 3 AP shots and then when the crew bailed he shot a canister round to cause some casualties. NO mercy!
  8. Two comments: - The book "Eisenhower's Lieutenants" has a very good Operation Dragoon chapter (and is a fine operational level history of the NW Europe campaign as a whole). - The 11th Panzer was a very good outfit ably commanded by von Wietersheim and gave a very good account of iteself - aided by favorable terrain - in a series of holding actions as it retreated up the Moselle valley. Yes the US forces were overwhelming but the terrain served to channel the advance onto some key - and easily defended - main roads.
  9. Agreed, and my unqiue contribution is to second sfhand's contribution - PLAY the demo!
  10. Very nice Jorge. Love the hit decals. Man that Panther mantlet is tough.
  11. It's fanBOI actually and if you were one you wouldn't be blackmailed. Just sayin'
  12. Dude, $10 bucks to support a company that makes unique games. Just pay it already and quite yer whinin.
  13. Oh please. No one is forcing you to pay for new content. You have 2.0 so enjoy 2.0. A matter of principle you claim? OK. Fine. Go sell your CMx stuff at a - say - $30 loss to maintain your principled purity in the face of a $10 upgrade. Quelle Horreur.
