anyone out there know?

I mean infantry small arms, like What kind of Rifles and light machine guns were common in the Chindit force. Thanks for your replies!

I was going through some websites on the Chindits the other day and I could not find anything on the light weapons they used (Personal small arms). Does anyone happen to know what type of weapons the 'average' soldiers had at their disposal?

ya Thats an excellent point, but they seemed to fight well enough with their bolt-action rifles! (Singapore, Phillipines, New Guinea) I think it was japanese tactics that allowed them to be successful...

Ya, I am a fan of the Enfield. What else have you heard from veterens about it? I only have quates from certain books about the Lee Enfield. I am trying to build a case in its defense, as ALOT of my American buddies (really good guys) seem to believe that the Canadians and British were wrong to not use the M-1 and the soldiers didnt like the Enfield! Thanks Micheal

Funny, I heard many veterens quoted in Canadian made books saying that, in world war 2, the only weapon American infantry weapon the Canadians thought was worth buying was the Thompson. They always said "Our Lee Enfields were reliable, accurate and fast firing, it was better than the mouser, and thats all that mattered." Lee Enfields were popular with the Troops, as wiht the Bren, but not the Sten

Hey guys! I would have bought the game regardless but its nice of BTS to include us!

Hello, I normally play as British, CW and German. I can't comprehend using the American forces, they seem almost weak in june '44. In Urban fighting, their Bazookas blow more of my men up then the enemies! Their infantry seems ok, but thier lack of support destroys that one small advantage. Bazookas kill their own men in houses, in June of 1944 their tanks are bad, no fireflies to play with 81mm mortars aren't near as effective as 3 inch ones. HELP Me! I need it! Thanks!

HAHAHAHAHAHA That is bloody amazing! hahahahah

No, I have tons of respect for the average American soldier. It just seemed to me that you should have included other nations who were doing the exact same thing. Brits/Commonwealth and other countries didn't want to be there, but got the job done. I think WE ALL have something to be proud of . . . Therefore include everyone. As for me being Canadian, That makes no difference. I don't Envy, nor do I condemn America. America is our ally, and I enjoy the their weather! . . Stupid Canadian winters . ..

France had the largest army in the world at the time . . . I would harldy call that a minor power!

Has anyone even considered the basic American GI fighting across Europe? These guys were conscripted from all walks of life, who didnt want to be there, and just wanted to get the job done and go home. And they did it!" I think you should say the basic allied soldier, rather than just American. The British/commonwealth were fighting and got the job done too. The Americans weren't the only citizen soldiers fighting in Europe . . .

Canadians (I am one) were an all volunteer army. They went because they wanted too. They also wanted to get the job done... KRS321 how about you look in some books and find out about world war 2, you'll find that alot of other countries fought too. So instead of saying the average GI, you should say the average soldier . . . As for your comment about the Australians . . . They have all the right to be proud of their army. As you have the right to be proud of the American army . .

Yup, the allies didnt now how to use their tanks.

Ok then, Im not going to say anything on this one. I think that each country did what it could during the war and would do it again. Im just going to say that the Russians lost 25 million people during that war and they didnt give up...So they are probably the most tenatious of them all.

Why aren't these tanks modeled as I am sure they existed. I know the British had them and the Canadians also had them Look in John Keegans book "STeel Inferno" for proof. They have a picture of a British Army M-10 and have stories involving Canadian Self Propelled 17 pounders!

nice!!!

Give him a break, he seems nice. ANyway I think it is going to be out around November of this year, but not 100% sure... Hope that helps!

I can only agree. . .In one scenario I had British vetern Paratroopers holding a bridge with a vickers machine gun. A bunch of German rifle sections begin to move across the small bridge. I ordered the Vickers to fire at the foremost section and it didnt even phase them. The machine gun was 150 metres away. The damage should have been catastrophic as the machine gun was above the bridge and the teams had no where to go. All the machine gun did for me was allow the Germans to take the bridge and bring up reinforcements and break into the city. They captured it after 12 turns. If only that machine gun could have even pinned the germans down for 2 turns reinforcements would have been there. . . The germans were of regular quality, and were whermacht troops. You would think that a machine gun could pin down 18 men on a bridge for 2 minutes . . .

Were they? You would figure that any German supporting infantry would shoot them before they got close to the armor. Must have been scary though... Thanks

Just saw the movie, thought it was well done. I think I liked it because I thought that it was a story that was believable. Unlike the west, Russians had women in thier front line as combat soldiers. It is possible that a love story could have happened. Have an imagination. I personally thought that SPR was a joke, it had, other than the first half hour NO STORY at all. This movie was a drama set in a war. The sniper duel was beetwen two men, but it was symbolic. The primitve Russian man, born and raised in the rural areas. Against a man with honer and with high social status... It was a good drama. You were supposed to interpret cetain things, the charachters for one thing. I think that some of you guys are to busy looking at the weapons and the action instead of the meaning...what some of you want is a documentary, not a movie with a story...

I understand that, but I still don't understand why I just use windows device driver update wizard. Wouldnt it work?

Hello, I am not really great with computers and I wish to know how I can upgrade my drivers. I have a TNT-2 and Am updating them to 6.49 Detonator drivers. I unzipped them to a folder that I made called "drivers" and when I go to press "change" on the adapter info on my card I don't know weather to let Windows find the drivers or me to tell it where they are. The instructions don't even mention Windows Update Device Driver Wizard... Thanks for anyhelp.

LOL I have had alot of those too. Once I lost a whole 16 tanks to one Tiger on a ridge.......it was ugly

Shogun, amazing game! Trust me it is amazing!
