The German Military of WWII showed great insight into the art of war. If you look at modern 1990+ American Equipment you can see the base that it came from. Even some of the earlier equipment is copied from the Germans. The M-60 GPMG is copied from the German MG-42(a cheap copy but a overly complex MG like it's predissessor. All of you guys with those 19D user names (cav scout, scoutPL) need to look at your Kevlar helmets, the M1 family of tanks, our close air doctrine, the number of radios in units. It all shows how the Germans were ahead of there time. Even other nations copy alot from them the AK-47, the tripod on the British version of the Mag-58. What about North Africa for a series of battles who out numbered who? Who was afraid of the Desert Fox. Both sides fought on the Defense as well as the Offense who lost more men and equipment. As far as the fight to the last the average soldier kept fighting under very hard conditions. You should read Forgotten Soldier for an acount on the Russian Front. How about an expantion for CM on the course of the entire desert war, I would buy that! ------------------ Brett Wilson SGT.CA Guard

If You like to read, I would suggest Team Yankee. It's modern but the experience is still valid. As far as your units routing, that is usally what happens when someone is standing in the road as a car is coming at them. I would also suggest renting the movie Kelly's Heroes. With Clint Eastwood the last 30 minutes are excellent!!!!! ------------------ Brett Wilson SGT.CA Guard
