Attack and Retreat (Italiani brava gente) 1965. An usual film about an Italian infantry regiment on the Eastern front. Actually filmed on location in the Ukraine and covers the period from the summer of 1941 to Stalingrad.

This is an interesting training film used by the German army during the war. It features close in infantry assaults against T-34s and KV-1s with an assortment of infantry anti-tank weapons. English subtitles included. Part 1 Part 2 About the film

Apparently some American soldiers in Iraq prefer to use the PPSh. Amercian soldier with PPSh_1 American Soldier with PPSh_2

Very good recommendation. His 5th symphony would also be a good choice. Lascar

I have sent if off. If it doesn't come through let me know

I have that scenario. Give me your email address and I will send it to you. Lascar

We are on turn 37 and I have prevented the Finns from breaking through my lines but I am dangerously thin in places with squads of one or two men holding 50 to 100 meters of the line. I don't think my opponent realizes the extent to which my platoons have been weakened or else he would be pushing through those sectors very aggressively. FOW is my ally. The initial artillery barrage was quite demoralizing. Three tanks suffered gun damage, the OT-34 was immobilized and many platoons were decimated. Those tree bursts were particularly murderous. I thought the barrage would never end; it was one of worst I have experienced playing CM. Good thing for the timely arrival of the reserve companies, otherwise the Finns would have cracked my line by now. So far an interesting and intense battle. Lascar

I can attest to that. I am currently playing this scenario as the Russians and that initial barrage is devastating. Lascar
