Thanks, Nick, Ghostdog, and Armdchair. Pham, I did look in a library, but they didn't have anything about it in that branch.

Anyone know of any websites where I can learn about the all-Jewish brigade that fought in Italy? I'm writing a screenplay about it and I figured this was the best place to ask.

Try telling them to "button up" - they can't use the machine gun then, but can be moved around.

In response to whether the ground was burning, I played West Wall and hosed down the Germans with the Croc in that scenario. My troops, however, plotted waypoints around the fire when I led them through it. Could this be an explanation? Eh, who knows?

Are we playing the same scenario? I usually get a tactical victory as the Germans, normally killing about 8-10 tanks (they are poorly trained...) and hosing down a half-dozen halftracks, MGs, etc.

Blech - Gamecenter blows. They rated Planescape: Torment an "8". Later, they give it RPG of the year. They rate Icewind Dale an "8", Diablo II an "8"...huh? Their reviews often make NO sense. CM is the best wargame I'VE ever played.

I'm a total newbie at CM, and with wargames in general...Every time I try the battle "Small Gain", I get hammered by waves and waves of infantry and HTs. The enemy has six loaded HTs and two tanks - any ideas on how to delay them for 14 turns?

One time my tank crew actually killed somebody - German platoon HQ, in fact. Down to 2 men, I ordered them into a building to scout for my tanks. They saw a HMG and engaged it. Remarkably, they held it at bay long enough for my Shermans to blast the hell out of it. In real combat, though, they seem to fare badly for me.
