The Waffen SS were great troops, that's for sure. I have many years of active duty service & I'm still in the (US) military now, many things stressed in Leadership schools are taken from what we learned from the Grems in WW2, tactics, exercising initiative, etc. I don't love the SS or anything, the fact that ours boys fared so well is a great source of pride for me, more so because of whom they were facing. To belittle their enemies is to discredit their accomplishments. The Soviet Union did not "save" the Allies, but they endured an estimated 21.3 million total deaths. If anything these #'s are on the low side for what was the most lethel conflict in human history. When one considers these #'s, one can easily conclude that the Allies did not save the Soviets either. Each country in the Allied effort saved themselves & in doing so, saved each other. Some of them, suffered more, contributed more materials, or spent more time fighting, etc...but without a somewhat united force the Grems would have won. IMHO (based on facts & experience). Also, when is CM2 coming out? I can't wait to play! ------------------ "Far better it is To dare mighty things...

Oops, I forgot to add: Always setup ambush markers all around-bout 90 meters out make sure all your guys can see most of them, this way you know where you can ambush best. Then you can set 1 of them w/your HQ SQD when you see the enemy & your guys will fire at that marker only- works for me. Let me know if it works for you, OK.

I agree w/rob1, keep your guys in the woods at a choke point & they'll bushwack all who pass. ------------------ "Far better it is To dare mighty things... Then to take rank with Those poor, timid spirits Who know neither Victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt 1899

Coolbeans, thanks. But the "wooshers" are much better, right? ------------------ "Far better it is To dare mighty things... Then to take rank with Those poor, timid spirits Who know neither Victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt 1899

When you can buy 2 light machineguns or 1 med. machinegun, why would anyone buy 1 sharpshooter? What advantages does it have that may counter balance all it's (many)disadvantages, i.e... 1 man unit, low ammo, high price, etc. On a side note, can I run CM on a 200 mhz cpu with a voodoo (1st ED.) card? I know it will be slow, but can it be done?, & yes, I check the manual 1st Any input would be great & I thank all of you in advance. ------------------ "Far better it is To dare mighty things...
