Ok, I'm a dope. I've forgotten the password I established for a PBEM game. Is there any way to reset my password so I can continue the PBEM? If it helps or means anything we're playing an Operation.

"War is not exactly a life insurance." Hans Rudel "Our enemies want war, they asked for it. I say, let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman "The mission of this unit is to fly and to fight, and don't you forget it." Hugh Mills and others "I don't care much for this 'why are we fighting stuff'?. We're in a war, a shooting war, we've got to fight." Gregory Peck, 12 O'Clock High (Should have been a real quote). "First class to the very end!" CAPT Pipan "Pipematz"; 1/SG1 FW 190 Attack Pilot who flew all missions in dress uniform. "As long as I look right into their muzzles, nothing can happen to me." Hans Marseille

My life is ruined...I'll never see the light of day now!!!

Don't worry, the Marder is 'surpressing' the Sherman. My experience has been: 1. As German, Marder takes repeated shots, misses, killed by flank shot by Sherman crew laughing hysterically. 2. As Allies, Sherman hit, burns, obscures battlefield for rest of my Shermans, while Germans continue to pick off remaining AFVs from long range.

Found this at the web site posted below. Interesting stuff: "This is a translation of a German training circular issued by the German Armored Force containing 30 basic lessons of armored combat on the platoon and company level derived from the Wehrmacht's experience against the Soviets. Written during the Second World War by a German company commander, these lessons are fresh with recent combat experience. The original text has cartoon-like illustrations and civilian "parables" on one page, with the combat lesson on the opposing page. Only the combat lessons are translated here." http://www.feldgrau.com/pnzfwd.html

Bring us a Shrubbery.

I've learned that they are very ineffective when targeting squad sized units. However, they are very effective targeting 'individual' units like Hqs, or Flamethrowers or Mortars etc: especially if those units are moving.

I'm only guessing, but I would bet money on it, that it is a recent photo of a restoration and it's somewhere in Finland. BTW, as a side note, please observe the birch trees in the background. The subject came up in a recent thread on mods of how European birches look compared to their North American counterparts. If I am correct that this photo was taken in Finland, this is a handy piece of evidence on the subject. Michael</font>

"It is called a Von Rosen cross because the first two airplanes, Thulin Parasols - licence-built copies of a Morane Saulnier design - that formed the FAF were donated by a Swedish count Erik Von Rosen shortly after Finland's independence from the chaos of Russian revolution. The cross was the traditional symbol of good luck for the Von Rosen family. They probably had picked it up from Indian Aryan mythology where the swastika is a symbol for the Sun and, incidentally, good luck." quote from VLeLv Icebreakers. </font>

I fixed the link. Try clicking it again. Don't worry, the mod is out and boy does it ever look cool!</font>

My intelligence sources tell me that the Tooth Fairy featured in "Blood and Steel" has large fangs and sharp, hooked claws.</font>

Ow, getting the fishhook out of my mouth hurts!!!

Murpes: It's obvious you've been severly afflicted by CMitus, an insidious and life altering illness. Unfortunately, there is no cure to the illness, ie, not wanting a CM scenario or operation to end. I've also heard of a mutated strain called Combat Mission Barbarossa to Berlin (CMBB for short). Rumor has it that this strain may even be more life altering. Fortunately, many poster's on this board are here to help. However, the first step is for you to repeat after me: "Hello, I'm Murpes, and I'm a Combat Mission addict." Hang in there brother!

Blood and Steel is nothing more than an leisurely drive through the countryside, filled with yellow daffodils, birds singing merrily, and puffy white clouds framed in an azure sky. Of course, I also believe in the tooth fairly and Tinkerbell.

I'm approaching the 25th Anniversary of my 19th birthday
