  1. Tested and evaluated the 56 SBCT at Fort Indian Town Gap, PA last year. Evaluated the Brigade Command and the S shops to see how well they can handle problems during battle, not bad. Was better then some active units. Going back again during 24 May 19 to 14 June 19. I believe it is the 56 SBCT again, not sure yet. Not sure if I will be at Indiantown Gap or I'll be at Fort Drum, NY.

    We called the flat-top versions "fish heads" when I was around seven, back in 76. They went for five bucks a pair and only came in black or white. By the time I was 16 (in 85) all the punks and skaters drove the prices (at least for high-tops) through the roof. They were going for 30 bucks and you could find them in just about any color you could imagine.  The 80s really made Converse.

     

    Mord.

    Dam Mord, you make me feel dam old, I was in the Marines in 76 :P

    Affirmative.  There are FOW icons for light and for heavy armor... they look almost the same and unless side by side its tough to see the difference.

    Heavy Armor:

    Light Armor:

    Not trying to steal the thread, but Bil, how are you going to make FOW icons? Looking at the MIL-STD-2525B, I don't see what can be used for FOW unless you use the UNKNOWN Symbol.

    Bah! Have 'em wheel in a whiteboard, tape some markers to some sticks, and diagram what you want done. Have the sitrep printed out and brought to you every hour.

    A good yelling will let them know who's in charge. I mean, they're there for YOU, right? 

    Never thought of that and my wife is second in command or is she in charge, can't remember half of the time :lol:

    sorry to have stolen this thread.

    Hmmm. NHS? Well, that implies some dire medical situation. Hope that's all sorted.

    Of course, hospitals have beds. Beds have tray tables. Laptops fit on tray tables. Nurses are there to help. See where I'm going with this? Yeah, that's still no excuse for suspending the game!  :)

    Best for a full, and speedy, recovery.

    Well not quite correct, when I was in the hospital after my heart attack, laptops were not allowed and because there is no Wi-Fi ability in the room I was in. So either you read, watch tv or try to keep breathing with all the tubes and wires stuck in you :D

    Not that I am aware of.  However I use a modified version of Peregrine's rules for both WW2 and modern that I'm happy with.  One of the things I find interesting about the rules is modifying them to make them work in different circumstances.  IMO Peregrine's rules are an excellent base to start with.  I add to the rules and modify them as needed.  Bil's rules are also very good but I struggled with the Excel document and in the end made a Unit Tasking form on a Word Document to use with a modified version of Peregrine's rules.   

    Is it possibly to send me those Word documents?

  7. No problem, it is being tested and will post the finial out come to it. Glad you caught it. As I posted it may be awhile before there is a patch due to the other work we're doing to the other CM.

    If you or anybody else find something and it doesn't look right, feel free to send me an email or post on the forum and I will get it tested. I'm here to help out as much as I can. Except for the next two weeks starting tomorrow. Got a two week warfighter exercise here at Ft Carson.

    A related issue with a squad picking up a spare Javelin for use by another team is that no matter how I split the squad, the Javelin seems to stay with the least appropriate team.  Eg.  It never stays with the AT team.  The Javelin always stays with the 2-man Scout team, or the Assault team (it would be preferable to have it stay with the support section).

    Does the AT Team have a CLU? Does any of the squad have a CLU? You can have a Javelin without having a CLU.
