IIRC, the British 3.7" AA gun, a weapon in the same class as the 88mm, was never employed vs ground targets despite on occasion being in a position to do so because of similar reasons ie the role was disliked by the gun commanders, or regarded as not appropriate.

Just finished playing this one, its a winner with some real surprises...the start is brilliant! Cheers, Lee

There seems to be something wrong with the server for that site at the moment?

That's a great site, especially the comparison section...great to have all those mods centralized in one place. By the way, is there a version of Gunslinger's snow without the gridlines present? Cheers, Lee

And another... "On the road from Bollersdorf to Strausberg stood a further 11 Stalin tanks, and away on the egde of the village itself were around 120-150 enemy tanks in the process of being refuelled and re-armed. I opened fire and destroyed first and last of the 11 Stalin tanks on the road....My own personal score of enemy tanks destroyed in this action was 39." SS-Haupstscharführer Karl Körner, schwere SS Panzer Abteilung (103) 503 / III SS Panzer Corps, East Germany, April of 1945. Apparently the range was relatively short and virtually every round fired hit.

This is an interesting engagement: "On July 7th of 1943, single Tiger tank commanded by SS-Oberscharfuehrer Franz Staudegger from 2nd Platoon of 13th Panzer Company of 1st SS Panzer Grenadier Division "LSSAH" engaged Soviet group of some 50 T-34 tanks around Psyolknee (southern sector of the Kursk salient). Staudegger used up his entire ammunition after destroying some 22 Soviet tanks, while the rest retreated. For his achievement, Franz Staudegger was awarded the Knight's Cross."

In a recent game vs the AI my single 81mm on-map mortar took out a M8, a M3 and a Sherman in the space of 4 turns...2 of those were by 'spotted' fire through a HQ unit. This seems extreme.

A 'Follow' command or something similar (as discussed in other threads on numerous occasions) to enable coordinated movement of long columns of vehicles.

Got it! Here we go...

Jazza: I'm keen, if you have time send me a setup. Cheers, Lee
