Very good replys JasonC. I have seen germans claiming 30:1 advantage of soviet tanks. Since Germans had 200 it would mean Soviets had 6000. It was around a pocket 6x12 kilometers, this would mean you that if you put soviet tanks right beside each other it would create a closed circle around pocket with tanks to spare. I doubt that soviet would have 6000 tanks around such a small packet.

U r no Fionn - but what the hell welcome back

Remember the guy who took vacations because he believed that CM will ship by then and he will receive the CD at that time? Now - he was really bitchin...

I thought hetzers were should not be present at that time and place?

I had a very brief glance on it in commercial. I looked like Hetzer. Anyone?

I see no problem here. There is no quarantee that in ME there will be a reasonable position for At-guns. You might need to move them forward or they will be useless. Player who is not buying transports does it at his own risk. So I see no need to enforce "buy transports". Historical point of view: You are supposed to take point X and you suspect enemy presence near by. So Place your guns to cover point X - then move your troops toward it. Sounds logical to me. Pupchens - now thats gamey!

Let me say it again: I can kill more people rushing toward me with my paintball gun then MG42 in CM. Does this strike you as correct? MG are severly under powered in CM (and so are mortars) BTS do this test: 30 guys run 100 meters toward 3 guys with semi automatic paintball guns. Then try same with fully automatic paintball guns. This will end this discussion once and for all!

These guns were all in Soviet use. (and almost definitly produced by soviets)

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Wolfe: BTW, got any pics of the quad Maxim AA? - Chris<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes - I bought Russian book about WWII Soviet equipment - It has a black and white picture in it. 4 Maxims mounted on a truck

I finally managed to upload all pics. Please, please! help me to identify some of the equipment. (Like which ISU is it? Is it ISU-122) See web page: Muzeum of Polish Army

I was just thinking that I really need tall walls for couple of missions I was planning

Thanks Babra! Any other votes?

Picture is now on RoadRunner not GeoCities. Everyone should be able to se them now

More pictures are comming - gimme a week to sort out pictures. I also have pictures of WWII battlefield complete with trenches digged in t-34-85 and lots of AT guns. (German losses were 40 tanks, 9 APCs, battery of guns and 2500 inf) Polish losses were smaller but also substancial...

Thanks guys - I will get these down in size and make a webpage for them

Ok lets see who can identify these guns... Picture from my trip to Poland:

Just how different were german panishment batalions. They were used for "demining" too I believe.

I had a model of IS-2 (10 years ago) and yes it had MG in the back of the turret.
