Just seen the other thread on this subject. Off to check the web News sites.

Oops. Too late .Sigh.

Apparently the explosion was detected somewhere in UK / Scotland. About 3.something on the Richter scale. Also heard may be Torpedo launch gone wrong ?? Any more on these?

It's too late to stop it. SUPER BUNNY from a re-run of the 'Goodies' is out for revenge. Hamsters, Gerbils beware !!!!!

Thanks for the discussion folks. Makes me think that Market-Garden if it had been successfull might have reasonably been contained (Fionn) and subject to a counter-attack that would have caused high casualties. I'm aware the safe option was chosen. I'm not aware if a very good argument has ever been put forward to support the single thrust. Reminds me of the discussion about the British taking Tripoli in 1st half of '41 after Beda Fomm. Some say it could have been done..... (I'll have to wait for CM3 with the 'expanded North African Campaign' operation)...

Quote. -------------------------------------------- It seems to be taken for granted that a modern infantry squad or platoon is far more combat effective than one operating in previous eras, such as World War II. -------------------------------------------- Given the above quote, how do you measure the 'combat effectiveness' difference between the two eras ? Raw firepower aside, some authors (Keegan,who quotes others whom I forget) suggest that only 3 or 4 men in a squad would be effectively firing their weapons at any one time in earlier wars. Is there anyone had the experience in a combat situation who could spread some light on this idea ?

I'm surprised that there arn't multiple country editions of the game so that the Kiwi's could see Hutchkuss'us

Would they be Tiger 1's with 100mm front armour ?

Cable Modem. I wish. Our main providers can't even lay new lines. Sigh.

Ordered mine 16th July. Received 3rd August. Perth. WA.

I think Flipper has hit the nail squarely on the head. CM is an evolution of ASL. Skip CM 2 ..lets go straight to the desert !

------------------------------------------- Also later in the thread, it is stated that the PIAT had a clasp to hold the round in so it wouldn't fall out and could be aimed at a lower elevation. I have seen pictures of someone aiming down from a second story, so your logic is faulty. ------------------------------------------- So now i realise that rule 13.61 in the ASL Rulebook is incorrect after all these years ! LUVPANTHERS - I demand a replay !!! Rats!

Combo's ? Big Macs ?

-------------------------------------------- His broad front strategy is often criticised (particularly by those who would have liked to see a more heroic role for themselves), but when you consider that it was perfectly reasonable, based on their past peformance, to assume the Germans would engage in a last man, last bullet defense of the Reich, Eisenhower's approach starts to look more like the only one a responsible commander could take. Ike wasn't perfect, but he did okay! --------------------------------------------- Michael, I know it's off thread but could a more 'concentrated' front by the western allies resulted in a faster approach to Berlin, i.e. before christmas and thus complicated the political perception that the Russians were to be the first to Berlin ? Was Eisenhower reacting to political pressure only ?

Oops, Can't spell names. Sorry Fionn

Fion, in this case it's friends.....of course with friends like that , who needs enemies. He'll get his in the PBEM game.

I understood the 60mmm mtr was used as the company's on call OBA. It would be nice if you could trade in 3 60mm MTR for a 60mm MTR OBA like in ASL - or simply buy a 60mm mtr OBA instead?

Add barbed wire fences too. For use in ASL / KGP scenarios types.

Started with Panzer Leader then moved into SL as soon as it came out..can't remember the year. 1977 ? Bought all the modules through to GI. Moved into ASL, still play.I love the historical modules.I do miss the thousands of counters with ALL the corners clipped of course ! If only there were more hours to play....sigh.

My system gives me problems on some scenarios and not others. Size is not the problem!(for me that is).I have suffered the brown-out and white-out described above.Brown-out on "Chambois", White-out on "All or nothing" I'm not sure about a memory problem, I have played Elsdorf and First Clash at Cambres succesfully to a conclusion. My system - Win98 Voodoo 3 128 meg P11 350
