<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Sergei: It was a joke. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Comrade, Red Army is not to be subject of degenerate capitalist running dog jokes. Please attend a self criticism session at once. WRT to Rossokovsky's book, -- a whopper at 1900 pages -- Mr. Dorosh is quite right. Red American Army is the seminal work on the subject, and contains detailed TO&E and tactical evaluations. For a more light hearted look at the Uncle Sam Division take a look at Mudakov's "Red White and Pink: Americans Fighting for the Soviets" which was published in the US-Soviet thaw of the 60s at Kruschev's instruction. Of particular interest will be the description of the battle of Maly Durak, where the USGD executed a textbook double envelopment of a German Panzergrenadier outfit, but in the dark ended up savaging its own supply columns. You can be sure Stalin had a laugh over that!!! [ 07-06-2001: Message edited by: Terence ]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Blackthorne: Uh....why on earth would there be American troops offered in CM2? :confused:<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Lend Lease of course. Besides, didn't you know there was an entire infantry division in the Red Army made up entirely of British and American bomber crews who crashed over Eastern Europe and took up grenade and rifle to smash fascism? The Soviets wouldn't give the troops back but they did permit the US send them enough equipment to function as a real infantry division. Rumor has it that this unit, the Uncle Sam's Guards Division, was about to break through and take Berlin, but Chuikov ordered them to secure the rear areas.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by R_Leet: In a previous thread I wrote: Mr. Mensch sir, In regards to my post I submit the following: Tuesday evening, I had my wisdom teeth removed. That in itself is undoubtedly the crux of the matter. Losing all wisdom, I should not have posted. Or perhaps only in the cesspool. But I digress. After having said bodily parts forcibly ripped from my person, I was given several medications to alleviate pain. Let me assure you that they did little good in that regard. At least one of my opponents can attest to my short temper that evening. However, the next day, and several doses later, one curiously pleasant side effect was to make me as giddy as a virgin on her wedding night. That, combined with a wee drop of spirits, (okay, so it was a whopping huge glass of bourbon)produced the desired pain relief. It also caused me to become zonked out of my mind.

Actually, its not an bad idea.. At the very least, I'd like to be able to run whatever calculation the AI does when it sets up its AT guns. Often, they are very nicely placed.

Everyone in this pathetic little realm has replaced their personality with a bundle of neuroses and slags everyone off all the time, from the Knights on down. So it was good and proper for you to belittle me, utterly normal and just as proper for me to attack you, and even more normal and correct for me to savage someone else.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Jaldaen: Hey Terence, Thanks for the feedback Sounds like your playing version 0.1, you can pick up version 0.2 from this site: http://www.geocities.com/scenario_archive/playtest.html Look for the Beyond Bolero scenario, it should address your not running into anything until the bridge (as well as a few other things If you play it let me know here <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I have downloaded the new scenario. My wife is going away this weekend, so I should have ample time to play it.

Hello SPOILERS I played this scenario and had lots of fun. I moved the US troops down the left flank in the woods on the map edge, crossed by the ford and ran into the woods. The British, who took me by surprise when the appeared, I used as a noisy distracting force on the extreme right flank, shooting up buildings, yelling and causing trouble. The armored car was utterly taken in by this as were many of the credulous German defenders. Meanwhile, the US troops advanced to the church, took it and moved 2 MGs into the top floor, and then attacked into the building by the VL. The approaching Lynx fell to the zook in two shots and the crew was viciously machinegunned. Nyahaha. Allied Minor, cause the Bridge VL was a ?, as there was a shaken 3 man German squad near it, with my untouched paratroop squad in the building. One more turn, though and it would have been toasty toasty toast. It wasn't as easy as I made it sound - the vickers and the 60mm mortar were lost cause they were caught in the open by german mgs, and the 2 inch mortar was routed by fire from the armored car, which ambled about in the middle of the map, looking a bit confused. Most of the German forces were still intact cause I evaded them rather than take them on with one lonely little platoon, even if it had 3 mgs with it. Anyway, twas a fun little scenario, and had I tried to move through the buildings on my way to the objectives, I probably would have gotten cut to pieces. The only change I would make, if you wanted this to happen would be to take away the tree cover all the way to the objective to make the route through the town more attractive. Because until I arrived at the bridge area, there was no fire from anyone in front of me. Just from teh sides, which after I was deep in the trees, tapered off. good scenario.

Hi. I live in New York City right now, in Brooklyn actually. Thats in the State of New York, in the republic known the United States. But when people ask me where Im from, I have a hard time saying, cause I was born in Hong Kong and lived in 5 countries growing up and after college. Anyway, by all means, keep on bashing clueless Americans who forget about the rest of the world (although I hardly think the author of this thread fits into any such category) but keep in mind that there are a great many Americans who do know about the rest of the world, like it, and have been to parts of it. I think Bodo is in Norway, to answer a previous question, and I belive that it is equal in latitude to a Swedish town called Happaranda. The two towns, while not that far apart and at the same latitude have strikingly different climates, due to the influence of Certain Atlantic Currents and the mountains that Lie Between Them.
