A Canadian Cat Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The icon was so bad I was confused. Well bicycle troops would cool to though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The British had some bicycle troops. They parked them by the sea wall on Sword Beach and never used them. Whilst 352nd Infanterie Div. had bicycle troops posted well in land who set off towards Omaha and Gold, how far they got on them I'm not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 ISTR that the Japanese troops in Malaya had bicycles, which is part of the reason that they took the peninsula so quickly. Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozowans Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I know I've been playing too much CM when I'm driving around and see a field and wonder how many hundreds of meters there are across it, or whether that building way off in the distance is within rifle range or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falaise Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I have the same symptoms of BOZOWANS or I search to park my car "hulldown " there I think we must let the computer, relax a little and in a few days the symptoms will have disappeared 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc1701e Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 You know when, during a walk in the countryside, you look at the windows of one house and evaluate the best angle of attack to take it, looking at cover and concealment, and where to place the fire support team... AND You know when your wife rolls her eyes when you explain her your last turn... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you know your playing too much CM when you become complacent and star letting a Freaking NEWBIE (not mentioning names) win more often then not against a Regular Opponent...Sigh :-( Edited March 22, 2019 by JoMc67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is helping him to learn from his mistakes. I am learning a lot thanks to you Joe... And, did you already forget how you crushed me last time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read somewhere that Rommel had a fit when he inspected the german defence on the danish west coast (the germans apparently considered this a possible D-Day landing site!). He learned that the reinforcements were supposed to move 50 kilometres from their inland positions to the beaches - on bicycles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronCat60 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) When you are at the snack counter at the movie theater and your trying to decide on the popcorn or the Milk Duds. Sure the Milk Duds are bigger but can only be used in the direct mode into your mouth because they are hard to see in a dark room. But the popcorn, ah the popcorn! That can be used in the direct or indirect role as the object is easier to see where it strikes so you can adjust it's trajectory. Plus it comes with a whole lot more rounds thus making it more applicable to hunger suppression until the main effort is conducted at a restaurant after the movie. Or you thought you heard something so you look around for the sound contact icon so can get a idea as to what it was. Oh it's just the kid getting fussy again.
