If there is timetravel anywhen, then there is timetravel everywhen. I'd be on the lookout for those 89:th century commandos with neutronium exoskeleton armors and antimatter accelerators.

I'd just like to point out that while I'm still technically alive, I'm in the process of relocating, buying a car, ending the fiscal year and planning a baby. So the amount of time I'm willing to devote to spanking a bunch of nose-picking, buttock-hair-twirling, kermit-lookalikes like you lot is somewhat limited.

The german 15cm infantry gun is operated by six men, and has 50 rounds of ammunition, AND CAN STILL MOVE.
Übermench and all, I still think the average german artilleryman was unable to carry a quarter metric ton per person.

Without having read all of the previous posts--
I find that in CM, CAS pilots suffer from lack of briefing. Realistically, CAS is allocated and not a random plane passing by. Thus, the pilot would know that the friendly ground forces are (for example) attacking the town. Therefore, look for troops and vehicles in and immediately around the town.
This isn't modeled in any way. So when the CAS pilot sees tanks and infantry advancing towards the town, they're unable to reason like a human (gee whiz, those looks like troops attacking the town, which would mean they're OUR troops), and just strafe what they see, because they see it.

Cat's generate love for themselves. It's an enormously effective way to compensate for the scratches and accidents in general. The loss of a cat is a tragedy.Originally posted by Nidan1:Hi Kitty
My poor daughter had to put her cat down on Saturday...it had FIP, and was starting to suffer a bit. It was only two years old and was her "baby".
Needless to say she was quite devestated. I never know how to handle myself at times like these, I usually become withdrawn, which I know is the wrong thing to do, especially with women. I attempted to comfort her in my own clumsy style...I figured a big hug would do. She loves cats as well, but has lost three of them in the last few years to cars and now this.

Oh goodie! Perhaps we'll get to watch the incarnations go at each other! My bet's on death!Originally posted by Kitty:Might I remind you of the rules here? Berli, "Treat the Ladies with respect. They are infinitely better than you can ever aspire to be."

I go on one little excercise, and the whole Thread not only reincarnates, it belches up a whopping five pages. Now, since I'm obviously not going to wade through five pages of tripe fishing for that nugget of wisdom that might, just might, have been in there somewhere, I'll just, er, won't do it. That's right.
You're all a bunch of disgustingly deformed invertebraes dripping slimed cobwebs. If you had any decency, you'd all be sitting in some automobile workshop in a puddle of gasoline, smeared with oil and playing with the arcwelder.
May your teeth fall out and form meaningless patterns on your flabby, hairy feet, and may you all mistake your ears for the toilet paper.
Excepting the Ladies. Of course.

If I may respectfully point out, dear Lady, that perhaps the source of knowledge may, perchance, be found lacking somewhat in it's veracity?Originally posted by SheWhoMustBeObeyed:Hi boys, just wanted you to know that Boo has told me many things about you all. Many, many, many, many, many things.
So I want you to know I will be keeping my eye on you all...
especially you Shaw.
After all, he hangs out with us, how reliable can he be? Uh, wait, no, that didn't come out right...

Well, I got a reply, although not what I wanted...
According to National Archives webpage, since I'm not a Canadian citizen, I don't have a snowballs chance in Berli's rear end of getting those documents.Unfortunately our archives does not have the information you requested
regarding Sgt. Harold A. Marshall. Our database only indicates that his
regimental number was M10546 and that he was wounded on December 15, 1944.
You may be able to get further information from the National Archives of
Canada in Ottawa. Their website with information on how to order military
records is: http://www.archives.ca/02/020203_e.html
Thank you for your interest in the Calgary Highlanders Museum & Archives

Also note that you can delay the barrage; it need not land on turn one. Simply give Pause orders, each will delay the barrage by one minute.

Slightly off-topic, but on the subject of hauling ammo, didn't anyone at BFC ever check the german 15cm infantry gun ammo load at any time? Those poor men are hauling 50 rounds for that gun. There are six of them. Now, assuming one person to haul around the gun (they're ubermensch, right), that STILL leaves 10 15cm rounds to carry for the rest.
Um. Reality check, please.

I've sent off a mail, we'll see what develops. I'll let you know whatever I find out. Gotta love that Errol Flynn pose!
Konstantine: That'd be greatly appreciated!

Is there more information available on Harold Marshall on the web? Some googling didn't turn up much. Specifically, I'd like to know when he was born, and when he joined the Highlanders.

Grog Dorosh, canadiansoldiers.com isn't available, and I need info on that Errol Flynn lookalike sniper. Can you point me in the right direction, please? (Please excuse, this'll be crossposted somewhat).

Of course, if one tried to do that against a modern army tank, some CB fire would be on it's way very quickly, so it might not be a viable option even if does work.
