    How much do they pay these morons?

    Even in daylight….

    My brother (USMC) is unloading 175mm guns from flatcars on the way to a stationary firing range in Georgia.

    He says “It is so hot and dusty that all the drivers have their t-shirts off and soaked with water and wrapped around there heads with only a slit to look through”. He is bringing up the rear gun in the column. He goes on to say “I am driving through what appears to be only a dust cloud when all of a sudden I come up to the gun in front of me stopped on the road. I am doing about 30mph (which is much faster then you may imagine) no time to stop! I make a sharp right off the road up a wooded hill crashing through the trees. Make a 180 turn knocking down trees with the barrel in a big circle. Drive back down onto the road and form up into the column.

    The column then proceeds on a few more miles to the range. This entire racket was never noticed even in broad daylight, as there was so much dust and noise just from the drivers who were able to keep their guns on the road!

    People who share their differing opinions do not constitute whining.

    I myself do not worry about the minute detail of the weapons systems included in CM. As long as the game captures the flavor of the period well I am pleased and it does. I also am very excited about each and every improvement. Anyone who has spent an amount of time here knows many of them are discussed and researched here first. BTS also finds this helpful with the Grogs. supplying the research data. It saves a great deal of time to be able to go right to the source when conducting your own research.

    Again, Combat Mission is the new standard, as most everyone here already knows. Why not let BTS improve it? They obviously care to.

    I had great success with my Stuarts yesterday. I even had one take out a MkIVg with its third frontal hit! Final tallies Stuart a. 2-251/1 2-234/1 12 inf. casualties. Stuart b. 4 251’s 1MkIVg 1-Puma 3 Inf. Casualties. Needless to say I was very pleased.

    Gene McCoy, an old friend who was an Armor company commander in Normandy and Germany. Mentioned to me that his primary use of them was to drive them through the front line areas, stealthily or using their speed and to shoot up the rear areas of the combat units his company was opposing. Saying “ A platoon of Stuarts wreaks great havoc on an enemy Headquarters”.
