    Oops, sounds like the argument is not very clear.

    Using fresh crews, to obtain intel: Okayyyy, possible but gamey.

    Using bailed out crews: Very gamey. I do not have actual experience, indeed. But if I imagine a 3“ (plus) shell exploding next to me, making me bail out of a tank, I do not think I would fancy to rush upfront again.

    I disagree that disembarking a crew to do some recon is gamey.  This happened IRL, I have read of this happening numerous times.  Of course,  I don't remember exactly where I saw this...but I have!

    I recently had a battle where I was targeting a building that had opposing troops inside. I selected 'armor' option for my medium mortars and the round killed all of the defenders. I think regular HE would've just burst on the roof. That's not the definitive answer though. it needs more testing. I tried doing a search in the manuals but the word 'armor' is in practically every paragraph.

    Did you try searching for "armour?"  I think it's a British thing...

    It's based on the (brilliant) Philip K. Dick book of the same name "The Man In The High Castle"..

    Concept: In an alternative universe, the Nazis (who developed the nuke bomb first) occupy the US to the eastern Rockies, and the Japanese occupy the US to the west of the Rockies.  The Rockies are a neutral no man's land.

    The TV series is a bit soapy.  But, interesting.

    Just binged Season 3.  Still enjoying it.  A little slow this season though...

    I had three different CC games, 2,3 and 4 (or 5). I hated them. They weren't fun to me at all. I liked Steel Panthers, though nothing grabbed me like CMBO.

    That first game of CMBO I played was something else, the excitement level was off the charts.  It was so much more realistic than anything I had played before. I'm a bit jaded now of course but there are still moments when you just say "wow that was cool!"

    We were still sending them stuff right up to Japan's formal surrender. In fact, some of it might still be arriving even later. And the U-boats were fully operational until Germany surrendered. Doenitz sent out an immediate cease fire order, but there might also have been a boat or two that did not receive the message that day.

    Whatever we were sending must have been a drop in the bucket by that time.  Why keep doing it?  Or was it mostly trucks?
