I picked up a Hercules Prophet MX II DDR 64Meg for $99.00 at Best Buy.

Delete the bastard,we don't need that racist crap here.

I believe the number of 81mm tubes assigned to a typical American infantry battalion was 8 as part of the Bn's HQ company. Probably the most common On Call arty would be 75mm for Airborne and straight leg infantry units and 105mm for Mech and Armor units. Although I don't have fact and figures like I've seen quoted here on other aspects of numerical balance. I'm basing my info on the typical TO&E's of American units of the time.

I've found that I get very nervous when I'm about to crest a hill in my car,I'm always wanting the guy in the other lane to go over first to see if any AT guns are waiting in ambush. :eek:

It must be a range thing,I've been playing the operatin "Drive to Mortain" against the AI as the Allies and my tanks have no problems using HE agaist the infantry at all.One thing that may come into play is if the infantry is dug in or not. They are in this case.

One small thing,the M-79 Grenade Launcher fires the same size round as the M-203,40mm.

What? Improperly modeled sheep?!

I'm not up on all the penatration values or anything like that,but one thing I really like about the Pershing and Super Pershing is the ability to take on Uberpanzers at long range,(850M and up)something lacking in most of the other Allied tanks. Just my .02$.

Splinty, CM is alredy at squad level...Smaller than Platton level. 3 squads + 1 Platoon HQ = 1 Platoon.

I misspoke, what I meant is to have a CM like game at the individual soldier level. No not an FPS,a smaller scale CM that portrays the actions of a platoon sized unit.

I'd like to see a platoon scaled version. That way we could mess around with indivdual soldiers.

Fantastic news Deanco! I too am a huge fan of your work and always use your Gunmetal interface! Congrats.

It's great. I don't have to stay up for three days at a time, I don't have to touch anything nasty, it doesn't smell like poo-poo, and I can shower, smoke, eat, or get drunk at will while playing. I suppose I could even get an "in-call" for some service while playing TCP/IP too
(I better get the full hour). I think all disputes should be settled this way.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Right on the money..

Man,that's beautiful!

My question is;where are the orangutans and the breakfast cereals?

If we're thinking about the same episode (the one where the guy stole a tank from a N'atl Guard armory and went a rampage),that was an M60A3.Weighs about 10 or 15 tons less than an Abrams.

So...you have found out the secret....Do not go anywhere! Ve vill find you and elimin-I mean solve out what's going on..... :eek:

When I was in the Army we had a family day that was held in the motor pool. One of the contests was, for $5.oo US you could take a shot at running over a junk car with a M113 APC. Now you would think that this would be easy,but it wasn't,most of the contestants (myself included)just ended up pushing the car around the contest area. I think that the track width and size of a M113 is comparable to that of a Sherman and most vehicals it collided with would just jam into the soil and become immovable without spending alot of time finding a fulcrum point to knock it over with. :cool:

I used to use Juno and the ad banner was a major problem when I tried to play TC/ICP it would pop up anytime I moved the mouse pointer anywhere near the top of the screen. Also keep in mind that freeware providers reserve the right to boot you offline any time they feel their server is too loaded down,which can be very annoying when you're in the middle of a good game.

IIRC,from the history channel's interview with one of the Ordanance officers who was there only about 30 or so Shermans were fitted with the Rhinoceros in time for use in Operation Cobra. I could be wrong or thinking only of the very beginning of the use of these devices.
