No. All the best Andreas

I'll check tonight when I get home. All the best Andreas

I think this statement is wrong in the context of CMx1 battles. First of all CMx1 battles are not commanded by generals. At the outside, they are commanded by Lieutenant-Colonels, more normally by Majors and Captains, if not Lieutenants. A large amount of reading indicates to me that these guys often did know what was supposed to arrive, but that this supposed reinforcement often did not: a) show up at all show up in the announced strength c) show up at the right time d) show up at the right place e) any combination of the above These things can be reflected in briefings, but I fear that too many briefings can not use the excuse of having thought this through, because they are rather just poor.

I think now is a good time to point out that the twin-cause of World Revolution and aiding the suppressed workers and peasants was materially advanced during the first phase of battles. Onwards! Vodka! V.S.Petrov

Dale - you saw my post on the last page? I have now noted that unfortunately most of the material is offline at this stage, but diMarco's paper on Mech Cav doctrine is still there. I'll put Hasselt onto TSD II. All the best Andreas

Look through the battle reports on Gerry Chester's site, searching for the term "46th". http://www.northirishhorse.org/ Gerry posts on the AHF as well, in case you can not contact him through his site. All the best Andreas

http://www.louisdimarco.com/ My scenario Hasselt, now converted to CMAK by Kingfish, is built around Mech Cav. I could probably email it to you. All the best Andreas

Harry - could you email me please? Thanks a lot. Andreas

You can only buy Soviet guns above 100mm calibre as artillery support, or mounted on tracks. All the best Andreas

From reading 'With the Jocks' it appears that there was a permanent link between units and transportation. White refers to 'his' driver when they moved by TCV, since he was carried around by the same driver/truck repeatedly until the vehicle gets hit outside Bremen. All the best Andreas

Typos, shmypos. All the best Andreas

The end is nigh. Download the scenarios while you can, if you are interested. All the ebst Andreas

Here you go: I wish it was Der Kessel Sealion Scenarios The site will go down this week sometime. All the best Andreas

There was a siege of Moscow in 1941? News to me. The maps most likely were not drawn by the Germans, but were drawn by the Soviets, with an overprint in Latin letters. For an example of such a map, see: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=121245 All the best Andreas

Sure thing. It's in yar ebox. Cheers D </font>

I'd just be wary about conclusions by Lucas, regardless of what they are dealing with. All the best Andreas

Ah, Martin Block. Gotta love the guy. All the best Andreas

.303 AP ammo was produced, but I have no idea about the scale of issue. http://harringtonmuseum.org.uk/303CartRTT.htm In 1940 3rd British ID undertook a Brigade attack on the Dunkirk approaches to delay the German advance, using the carriers as light armour. They found out the hard way that carriers were not SmK proof during that attack. All the best Andreas

Lightly armoured German vehicles were designed to be "SmK-Sicher" AFAIK, i.e. to keep SmK projectiles out. I presume .50 HMGs and Soviet 14.5mm ATRs to have a better penetration performance, and would expect HTs to not be safe from them. AFAIK the modern Fuchs is designed to keep ATR and .50 projectiles out, so the definition of SmK-sicher has changed since then. All the best Andreas

Feel free to explain what that is supposed to mean anytime you get around to assembling a coherent thought. All the best Andreas

You haven't seen me cooking, obviously. All the best Andreas

There is no switch of ammunition. I can not make a pizza in my kitchen blender, but that does not mean I will retire it. All the best Andreas

Energizer Bunny!! All the best Andreas
