  1. Couldn't find one. Fortunately I remember some things from the olden days (tab-1 for view lock, amazing how it all comes back, like riding a bicycle...)

     

    Some questions about units I am not familiar with:

     

    - what is the role of ammo bearers attached to guns, mortars, HMGs? What is the impact if they are lost?

    - Bil on his blog talks about medical duties. Please explain?

     

    On a more general note, I am getting my ass handed to me in the training scenario, attacking as US. Help?

     

    All the best

  2. In defence of the M5 crew it would have been almost impossible to see the person clearly, certainly wouldn't be able to hear him and he had just been lying down so you wouldn't know if the hands were raised because he'd just thrown a mine.

    Perhaps it is not a good idea to surrender to a tank.

    Or perhaps if you want to be sure that your surrender thingame works out well for you, try it before the shooting starts.

  3. I also highly recommend his other book on the Greek campaign 'The Gods were neutral', and Cyril Joly's 'Take these men'.
