say please, for corn's sake

Ahh, you just described two of my favorite vacations I have ever taken. The first trip I stayed in Luxembourg city as a home base, and traveled the south bulge battlegrounds. I also drove the advance route of Kampfgruppe Peiper, from the German 'border' all the way to La Gleize. I also got caught up in a parade group with a police escort through Bastogne. They thought I was with an ROTC group and waved me through. I was parked with the official busses as a wreath was presented by the mayor of Bastogne at one of their monuments Second trip I stayed in Clervaux. AWESOME town. You have to see it, I cant even explain how magical it felt. That was last year, and I did most of my traveling around the north edge of the bulge, St Vith. I walked around the hilltops of the Shnee Eifel where the 90th division was encircled. There are some great books out there that are battlefield travel guides. This year I just dont think I can talk my wife into Wallonia again, even though it is just about my favorite place in the world. This year is Paris, with a daytrip out to Saumur. Bottom line- GO TO CLERVAUX, see the ww2 museum, the monestary and sit down for a nice kriek beer.

2nd Lt. Willard Eugene Caddell My Grandfather was a pilot for the US Army Air Corps. He flew a photo recon mission called the F4, flew 40 missions iirc, for the Mediterranean Allied Photo Reconnaisance Wing. I am glad he finished his tour before the Me-262 hit heavy deployment. By that time in the war, his outfit was flying over Germany proper, and the Germans had finally realized that a lone P-38 was followed days later by a flight of B-25s bombing the hell out of everything. They lost a number of P-38s to 262's, coming straight up their tail from below, with no warning. After a while, the F-4s started getting P-51 escorts. Until the 262s, there was nothing out there that could outclimb or outrun the P-38, and they had the damage tolerance reminiscent of today's Warthog. (He came home, married my grandmother. Went through school at Texas A&M, and came out with an aeronautical engineering degree, worked his career with General Dynamics on projects like the Tomohawk Missile, and F-16. Papa died a year and a half ago, leaving 4 children, and 10 grandchildren. I was his eldest grandson, and I miss him very much. I remember him most not for his accomplishments in his career or any notoriety, but for the love and wisdom he poured into me, and the example he set, most importantly to experience God and his presence. It is one of my highest goals to honor his memory, and to make my thanks to him through passing on as best I can what was given to me, to others in my life.)

LOL - I love it! Who would have thought that Groundskeeper Willy made it into the game! "Gah! Mah Retirement Grease!!!!!!!"

I like Frye's better

Work In Progress (I only know that from being a contractor)

Thanks Dorosh!

I am wondering if anyone knows of scenarios set in this battle, which Adam L hails as a Canadian 'Battle of Bastogne'. Im too cheap to buy the book. Someone teach me all about it by making a scenario. Thanks in advance!

Great site, thanks for the link!

*bump*

Anyone else having trouble with the sounds of a spring morning during an artillery barrage? Can CMBB wav mods be imported? [ December 07, 2003, 11:01 PM: Message edited by: *Captain Foobar* ]

It appears you will, KIA.

Whose black and white trees are you using?

Ack!

re Seanachai: Did he get his video card yet? Is the fundraiser over?

What the... You did... Dib.. I am buying you a pizza!

Tom, who's grass are you using?

Bump for question- Anywhere I can find out what Biltaid does and does not do for you? I am trying to determine my replacements

Thanks Snowbart! I am sure this will simply take some getting used to.. My last detective work, is in trying to determine what steps Biltaid takes care of, and which steps I need to do myself. Does Biltaid determine if/when I get to take replacements?

bump!

OK, I have a couple tech support questions. I am enjoying the biltong campaign so far, but I dont know what I am supposed to do next -I am using Biltaid- It has generated the parameters for my second mission -I have finished filling out my Battle Group Sheet, and my Favor sheet question 1- How do I handle replacements for my unit? (I only lost my PZIV in the battle, no other casualties) question 2- I would REALLY like to play with the map packs- but I ca find no identifying markers telling me when or where to use the different maps and packs of maps. Do i just take the battle maps in order, and ignore the parameters generator? question 3- What do I "buy" replacements or upgraded and new units with? Favor? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Vader
