    Add German OOB for March-June 1941.

    Add captured Italian guns and tanks to the Australian OOB for 1941. Operation Compass netted a lot of Italian equipment, which showed up during the later battles against the Afrika Korps.

    Also add Australian OOB for July-September 1942, the AIF's 9th Division was brought back into the line at at the start of July 42. (they don't become available until October in the game)

    I would much rather have a Napolonic version of the game.This interests me more.As britain was involved.

    Napoleonic interests me more because there are a lot more sides involved, means you have interesting strategic as well as operational/tactical side to it.

    I bloody well hope not, they have basically done that theatre in two of their three games already.

    It's the most overdone, boring old theatre around.

    Killing Matildas?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Just did a test 4 pzIIIg Vs 1 Matilda (with no ammo).

    Range started at 240 metres closed to 200 then went out to approx 225.

    In 1 turn the pzIIIg's achieved 22 hits, the vast majority of which were 'front turret ricochets with internal armour flaking',

    There were also a number of 'front upper or lower hull partial penetrations'.

    At the 43 second mark and a range of approximately 210 metres there was an 'front upper hull penetration at weak point, 1 casualty', this was the 12th hit.

    On the 51st second at a range of approx 225 metres the 18th hit was 'Front upper hull partial penetration, knocked out', 2 hits later was 'track hit, immobilized'. The crew abandoned after the 21st hit.

    How does the pilot know there are no enemy tanks?

    2a) on a run, choosing the best of multiple targets and bomb it? - Fine

    2b) on a run, dropping your bombs even if no valuable targets are in sight, bombing a half-squad in lack of better targets? - Not realistic. Circle and when no valuable targets are exposed after a period of time, go home.

    You can go land an aircraft with a great big bloody bomb underneath it , but I'm buggered if I will!

    3a) planes attacking when and where they please? - Fine

    3b) a commanding officer of a battalion+ force not even being able to say "skip the planned attack" or "wait a few minutes"? - Only occasionally fine

    Only after FAC's were introduced, does anyone know when the employment of FAC's became commonplace?
