  1. Nor does your comment. Knowing Umlaut he investigated this situation very thoroughly before he posted it. Apart from that everyone can still do as he damn well pleases at this site. Just discuss it, or if you think it's nonsense, don't discuss it.
  2. Funny. They are not on-map, are they? At least I've never seen a cruiser in the Bocage.
  3. There's a first time for everthing. Won't use the Sturmtiger either. Not arguing to withold anything, just saying.
  4. Those Iwans look great. I hope the StG 44 is well presented on the German side to counter all those PPSH.
  5. Never saw anything like this, John. Gold indeed. Thanks for digging it up.
  6. Say not the struggle nought availeth, The labour and the wounds are vain, The enemy faints not, nor faileth, And as things have been they remain. If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars; It may be, in yon smoke concealed, Mord chase e'en now the fliers, And, but for you, possess the field. For while the tired waves, vainly breaking Seem here no painful inch to gain, Far back through creeks and inlets making, Comes Mord, flooding in, the main. And not by eastern windows only, When daylight comes, comes in the light, In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly, But westward, look, the land is bright. By Arthur Hugh Clough You are indeed a light in the darkness, Mord! Thank you!
  7. Even on-map mortar units are quite difficult to handle to my experience. They never seem to be available when you need them. That's why I like to use tanks and other vehicles using HE against buildings and enemy postions. I'm not saying mortars are useless, because they can be very useful indeed, but in a fast moving battle (the kind of battles I like) I prefer more mobile firepower.
  8. Each to his own, but personally I don't enjoy urban fighting and I'm not looking forward it. For me CM excells in longer distance fighting in fields, woods and smaller villages.
  9. Personally I don't like to see them the on-map artillery list. Too much overkill. Such guns easily bring down a whole building.
  10. So who is a present day Nazi, Mikey? Please, tell us, instead of insinuating. Who is supporting who exactly? Steve made it quite clear that such insults, even in a covered version, are not allowed here.
  11. But these facts are well documentated and widely condemned, aren't they? The mass rape of millions of women AND children (and not only in Germany, but also in 'liberated' Russia, Poland, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria, the Baltic states and so on and so forth) and all the other attrocities of the Red Army are mostly ignored. It should be possible to condemn that without being accused of defending the attrocities of the Nazis. On the other hand, I guess it's just shame about making a pact with the devil in the name of freedom and justice to defeat another one. But I agree with Lethaface. Better let it rest. Especially on this forum.
  12. I sure do, especially the German icons are beauties. The Moroccans and Algerians are a bit too clean shaven for me, but I will change them with the Maroccon Goumiers icoon.
  13. Also read Myths and Legends of the Eastern Front: Reassessing the Great Patriotic War by Boris Sokolov. He has some interesting things to say about the Eastern front in general and LL in particular. Not all his arguments are convincing, but he makes some good points. His opinion is that without LL Soviet-Russia would have been lost.
  14. Just curious. Which books were offered for free last week?
  15. I especially like the Sassanian Elite Cavalry book. Thank you!
