GÖTEBORG (That's Gouthenburg for you non Swedes), SWEDEN! Now we'll make it back up to 3rd place I think. /Toni

Great work Col. Klotz. Now I can really start to do some conversions of old ASL and SL scenarios. I have a whole binder full with almost every scenario for SL, ASL, ASL Delux, RB, KGP and ASL Annual. Lots of scenarios to do if one have the time. Thanks for a great site. /Toni

Just wanted to add to the power of artillery. Some ten years ago I did my military service here in Sweden and although I belonged to a Tank Brigade I did six months of service at the artillery. Once I got the opportunity to see the Brigades howitzer battalion fire real 155 mm shells (usually they will only fire 105 mm shells during practice, just to save money). And I must say I don’t wont to be beneath that barrage. The crater was so deep that I could stand in it and don’t see out over the top. Maybe it could have blasted a bunker, or at least knock the guys in a bunker out for a while. But the mortar rounds of 120 mm mortars (used here in Sweden) can probably not knock out a concrete bunker. /Toni

Read the same thing in "Citizen Soldiers" by Stephen Ambrose. So I was somewhat surprised when I read the manual and it stated that WP was not used much in combat other than marking targets. ASL had WP grenades in it, even for the infantry. By the way I miss the ability to let The infantry pop smoke. /Toni

YES! Today when I got home from work and opened my door, there it was! Finaly the wait is over. CM has arrived in Göteborg. To bad the sun had to shine, but they say it's going to rain this weekend. /Toni

Now I will take this in Swedish (and let the rest of them out there guessing what we're talking about). Marcus, Jag är med på ett e-mail spel när jag får CM. Räkna med det. Vad menar du med att du inte får det på 2 veckor pga att det är stängt? Jag funderade på det med att posten här hos mig har semester stängt, men jag borde få den ändå. Har fått annan post (typ. räkningar). Ser att CM har kommit till Huvudstaden i alla fall. Kunde de inte slängt ut mitt ex. genom fönstret när de flög förbi. Undrar om man får CM i brevinkastet på dörren eller om jag får gå till posten??? /Toni

I now see that CM is starting to arrive in Europe, but it has not reached Göteborg in Sweden. I'm just wondering if any one in Scandinavia has received their copy yet. I thought I should have gotten mine today and that I'd be able to play with it all weekend. Well that's not going to happen! I guess the customs people have it and play with it. /Toni

I just hope my copy had been sent (I'm climbing the walls here), but I guess it'll take some more days for it to arrive here in Sweden. /Toni

I just had a thought yesterday when I played the CM demo. Wouldn’t be great to do a Napoleonics battle or a Civilwar battle based on the CM engine. With nicely rendered units marching around the battlefield. I know that there’s some 3D games out there that like SM Gettysburg, but I don’t give much for realtime games. It tends to be a click feast (and feels like and action game with no strategy what so ever in it).

I here by promise that no one will be allowed to copy the game, or for that reason be allowed to lend the game (Since I will be playing it non-stop).
