I don't know how reliable this is but I saw a special on the History Channel about the B-29 which said that the planes weren't painted because with a full bomb load they could barely get into the air. The weight of the paint was supposed to be around 3500 lbs.

Flank! Flank! Flank!

Great Stuff Andrew!

So,who won?

Well,thanks alot BTS! Now you've got me all worked up again! I won't be able to sleep for another 3 months,guess I'll have to play even more CM.

There won't be any horses in CMBB,because the retreating and hungry Russian army will have eaten them for the first part of the campaign,and the retreating and starving German army will do the same for the rest of it.

Daily,if I don;t have at least 3 or 4 PBEMs going something is wrong.

A couple of right angle bits of wall would provide some flank protection also.

Think of them as anti-tank guns on tracks. The reason Assault Guns don't have turrets is to reduce their siloette (sp?). They were designed to strike from one position and then move into another one to strike again. Hope this helps.

I vote for the Mad one himself. So it's one from the Motor state. (Michigan)

That was cruel and malicious in the extreme!

The same as "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" As many as want to.Originally posted by Squadldr76:so, my next question would be how many hamsters would it take to drive a tiger?
sorry, i hadda ask.

I have been reading posts on this board since right after CMBO was released to the public and I must say that this series on lightning has been one of the STRANGEST I've ever read. On the other hand it was very well reasoned and explained in terms that even a college drop out such as myself can understand,unlike some of the armor penetration and how many hamsters it takes to achieve a catastrophic kill threads I have perused in my time. Anyway welcome aboard new guy! I hope this bizarre topic doesn't scare you away as these guys are a smart as they seem (scary ain't it?) and can provide you with more than you ever wanted to know about the Second World War.

(In voice of Mr. Burns) Excellent!

Man you tankers get all the good stuff! Our Bradleys had plastic jackets. On the other hand we had a much faster rate of fire...

Although I would agree that the Firefly is an excellent tank for a Sherman,it still is an "eggshell armed with a sledge hammer". I think the only Sherman that has a chance in a stand up fight with a Tiger I is a Jumbo 76. But if I remember correctly only about 250 of these "assault Shermans" were manufactured before the war ended.Originally posted by Warmaker:The British Fireflies are the only Sherman tanks worth their salt IMO. Their 17 pdrs are to be respected by any Axis armor fan.

Two questions,first, does it have an alcoholic beverage? Second, does it have to be a cat?
