Before I got cable it worked okay, occasional game disruptions but the autosave function works well

Shameless bump

Marine Raiders and the Japanese special attack units (midget subs) for their attacks on Australia, Madagassar and Pearl

Hey it would be interesting but I don't know how. I did make up a Korean war Scenario, using Russians as North Koreans and Germans as Americans.......

An interesting bit of WW II Eastern front trivia Click

Big ooops, that should be the 1-5th FA, Hamiltons Own!

The American did to, the 1-2 FA artillery, "half assed arty" being its nickname had an A, B and D battery. Legend had it that the C battery was destroyed in battle in less than a glorious manner but the truth was they wanted the D battery to exist as it had a direct lineage to Alexander Hamilton's revolutionary war battery.

What name did the Soviets give to the Spanish civil war? Also how did they refer to their part in it, ie "intervention", "Internationalist duty", "assistance" etc Thanks in advance Hans

Strategy wise Iraq must delay and delay some more while inflicting casualties while awaiting the media to defeat the US. unfortunately I see no conventional way to do that. I suspect the US will go for a "Afghan/special forces" type war and not try to take cities. If I were Saddam I would threaten to hit my OWN people with chemicals and bio, I would see if the Western powers and the US could stomach 2-3 million Iraqi civilian casualties.

One of the legends of WWII is that American soldiers, with arms strengthen, and eyes sharpened by years of baseball and football playing were better hand grenadiers than the true footballers (soccer)players of Europe.

Bah humbug I'm proud to say that I'm a purist and don't have a single evil MOD clogging my BMP folder! Make me a T-26 with a flashing neon bulleye and I'll think about it! Hans, CMBB purist and mod hater : ]

Interesting quote from the Stug site about adding concrete as additional armour!

Jbertles Yep the CMBB engine would actually be nice for small scale naval battles, coastal convoys and such

I guess what I'd be interested in is limiting my knowledge of what I'm attacking or whats coming at me, kinda of a "card counting" exercise in some battles.

I figured someone might have seen them before, they would have limited appeal but are interesting as a side line. Heck if you were going to bring in a new vehicle I'd like the Panhards the Germans used! That or coastal craft!

One of the most unique units in the Red Army armored and mechanized force structure was the aerosleigh [aerosanyi] battalions, 62 of which were formed beginning in January 1942. Considered by the Stavka to be a type of mechanized force, there were 48 aerosleigh battalions in the February 1943 force structure and 57 in July 1943. The aerosleigh battalion consisted of a headquarters and supply company with 10 cargo sleds and 3 combat companies with 10 aerosleighs each. The company consisted of three platoons with three sleighs each and a tenth command sled. The overall strength of the battalion was about 100 men with about 45 NKL-16 or NKL-26 aerosleighs. The NKL-16 aerosleigh consisted of an armor-plated turret with a 7.62mm machine gun mounted on four skis. It was propelled by a rear-mounted aircraft type engine and propeller and could transport 4-5 men. The NKL-26 had the same armament but was more powerful and more heavily armored. Aerosleigh battalions were employed in winter raids, to combat enemy ski troops, to transport supplies, and in operations across difficult terrain in snow conditions, often in conjunction with ski battalions and brigades. How about it Battlefront ;} Hey I never heard of them before either...but they sound interesting. Any grog have a picture on these things?

Perhaps what is needed is a purely random fight-one of the annoying aspects of the system is you know the enemy is launching an attack etc, ie this tells you about how much stuff he has. I believe there should be an option to obtain NO information, yeah unbalance
