Have to make a QB just with all the trucks and see what's in each.

All that sort boils down to not liking it because it is different to CMx1. Maybe you might want to try the demo of PC:O. I don't have it and have not tried the demo yet but from what I have read of it it appears to be alot more like the CMx1 series than CMBN so maybe you will get more enjoyment out of that one, alternatively you could play CMBN a bit more till you become accustomed to the UI.

Rattled includes the stirring perhaps.

You know I could say pretty much the same thing, well I could also say he's good at getting tanks blowed up by halftacks and armoured cars just to rub it in a bit more.

I thought Manly played rugby?

I've noticed this can be annoying especially on smaller maps when viewing the map from even a moderate height, it requires you to tilt the camera down if you want to see the bottom edge of the map.

Are you sure he is all that is left of the unit? From my experience a unit member wont surrender if there are still active troops from that unit somewhere.

I thought you were dead.

Well wiki gives effective range of from 100-150 metres and max range of 370-460 metres for the zooks in game. So 220 metres sounds like a lucky but realistic range.

No a hood is what steals a car. Hell you probably still think the boot has something to do with elephants.

Reminds me of zombies.

Yes no absolute id's obviously but lots of question marks along the bocage - it took about 20 mins+ but one turn went from nothing spotted to about 10 - 15 spotted somethings. This was on Elite difficulty.

1. Disembark your PSW crews (ones with binos) 2. Move to VL's 3. Wait for 20-30 minute 4. Move back to PSW and get in 5. Drive to exit point 6. Smells like victory If you shoot or get shot at you are doing it wrong.

I'm conflicted I do have a commodore in the back yard, but mostly just drive my Ford 4x4 ute.

Hmmmm did Marlow forget his old log in?

The Death Of Unca Stukey

Feh you can't count it's more like 8 little Speedies. But I killed the battalion commander old Unca Stukey himself or at least a close personal friend. Now I will take that victory bottle of Bundy thank you very much.

I'll take the flamers and star shells please.

This would also suggest a potential for a lower motivation level for US troops, you might be willing to risk your life for a mate you have lived, trained and fought beside for two years but you most likely wont for someone you first met yesterday or a week ago. What was the German policy for soldiers returning to the front after recovering from wounds?

I think you are looking at it as a linear progression where as I see it more as an exponential progression. While the training/experience needed to progress from conscript to regular is not a lot, that needed to progress to veteran is quite a bit more and that needed to get to crack is significantly more than veteran. As for Elite well I would restrict that to exceptional small units/people such as Wittman, or SAS teams etc. Using this progression structure I would class units such as the 101st as Veteran for D-Day and Market Garden progressing to Crack for the Ardennes (even here there could be an argument for that division not to classed as Crack until after the Ardennes). I would never rate any divisional force greater than Crack and very few would get to that level, that said it is possible for a couple of exceptional team or vehicle in that division to be classed as Elite they are easily offset by the majority that are Crack, Veteran or even Regular.

So that's where my shoe went.

Now now I know you are west of Finland and I will cut you some slack for that however the correct term is WEGO bigot. And as bigot is from an old derogatory French name for the Normans it is most apropos.

If you are here all night send me a fecking turn! Now where did I put those ear plugs?

I want cows with guns!

Yes you are right we don't need a Kelly's Heroes scenario we need a Kelly's Heroes campaign!
