I was wondering if anyone recalled the name of one of the demo scenarios. In this one, the Germans had a few pillboxes, a 150 mm? gun and perhaps a company of infantry, some barbed wire and mines. A single Panther would arrive as a reinforcement towards the end of the game. The Americans had 5-6 Shermans, and maybe 2-3 companies. The map was medium size I suppose, and quite hilly. Looking through the descriptions, I have yet to find it. It was one of my favorite scenarios. Was it included in the final version?

There seems to be a historical cycle concerning the "sweatshop" problem. If you look back at Western history many of the Western countries had sweatshops as a result of the industrial revolution. I believe this is a phase that the Third World countries will go through as their economies mature, but eventually they will be much better off.

I don't if anyone's heard the saying that there won't be peace in the Middle East until extremist Palestinians realize Allah is not their general, and extremist Isrealis realize that God isn't their real estate agent. I think both sides have made mistakes. I like the strategy involved with CM. I like reading about war, watching war movies, and playing wargames and combat simulations. Tanks, submarines, fighters and bombers are the coolest things, and yet I think war is abhorrent. I consider myself a pacifist. I think that some wars needed to be fought (WW2) but that war is not inherently necessary. I don't think the military is in itself necessary either. Look at what happened with the bomb. We built them to make us safe from the other side, while the other side felt the need to build just as many to make them safe from us. What results is the world becomes a much more dangerous place for everyone. A roughly similar logic played itself out leading to World War 1. I think that nations need to stop acting only in their own interest and stop and think about what they're doing for a change. A little international socialism wouldn't hurt either. (I don't mean Soviet totalitarianism or revolutionary communism) M Bates might have been kidding, but look at how brutally exploited sweatshop workers are in the third world. Rampant free enterprise doesn't seem to be the answer. Angus

When I first choose the password, there is lag between what I am typing and what appears on the screen, so that everything shows up a letter behind. I believe this has made it impossible for me to use the password again later in the game, when it displays fine. Is there any solution? Thanks Angus

Are there any lists of opponents? Also, does anyone want to play me (I'm new to pbem)? Thanks Angus

Once one of my Stug's was fired upon by a anti tank team in CE, and the explosion from the hit caused a forest fire. Angus
