  1. Hi all. Have been gone from the forums quite a while now (got tired of CMBO finally). Waiting for my copy of CMBB to arrive.. This for Mad Matt: will you be releasing any mod packs for CMBB, as you did for CMBO? I also hope subdued terrain, etc CMBB mods will be forthcoming. Anyway, looking forward to dealing with Uncle Joe's minions.. :D

  2. FYI, it could not be truly said to be a world war until 10 December 1941. After

    the Japanese attack of 7 December,

    President Roosevelt only asked for a

    declaration of war against Japan. So at

    that point you had 2 separate wars going

    on, one in Europe, and one in the Pacific.

    For 3 days after Pearl Harbor, Hitler studied his options, and finally decided he

    was bound to uphold his end of the pact with Japan (although the Japanese had no such intentions of honoring their end had the Germans attacked the US first). So with the German declaration of war on 10 Dec, it finally could be considered WW2 (still not sure exactly when everyone started calling

    it that)..

  3. I tend to agree with LimShady on the probable cause of Wittman's demise. Wittman's Tiger still exists BTW, and is kept in some farmer's barn in France. Recent analysis of the wreck points to air to ground rockets being the culprit, not a Firefly's 17-pounder..

  4. Audace, your Panther is outstanding! E-mail me one please! Only thing is, it's too good. Now you'll have to make all the rest.. smile.gif

  5. The Tiger mod looks like the one just put up at Der Kessel website. Available in either panzer grey or dark yellow. Very cool, just downloaded them myself..

  6. Thanks a bundle, Kitty! I'm off to check the Outpost for your KT. BTW, do you have any plans for a Tiger I or Panther? I'm sure they would be as incredible as the KT.. smile.gif

  7. The intelligence source was indeed "Lucy". Although many now believe that Lucy was a front for Ultra decrypts, in order to pass the Soviets the information without letting them know that the Allies had cracked the Enigma codes..

  8. I have read the story of the WW1 U-Boat haunting. I cannot recall the exact details, (or where I read it), but from what little I recall, the ghost was one of the U-Boat's crewmen who was somehow trapped topside prior to submerging.

    Supposedly, the crew would then hear banging noises and other manifestations when the boat was submerged. The U-boat in question was later lost in a minefield (I think).

    Once again, I don't recall the exact source, but according to the story the whole incident was well documented.

    Dang! Now you've got me wanting to find out where I first saw it! smile.gif

  9. The Blendkörper can be seen in action in the German Army training film "Männer gegen Panzer" (Men against Tanks). This film can be had from International Historical Films. www.ihffilm.com.

  10. The Tiger I CD looks great! Is there anywhere in the US to get it yet?

  11. Actually, SSI still exists. Some of the guys may have left the company, but the parent company hasn't gone away. As an example, Silent Hunter II is still on track for release, and under the SSI label. As are Pool of Radiance II and a new flight simulator using the Flanker 2.0 engine (don't quote me on that last one).

  12. Wally World is the worst place to go for DVD. The 'Net is much better. Cheaper per title, and infinitely better selection. Reel.com is a good place to start for Internet DVD. I've gotten Cross of Iron, Kelly's Heroes, All Quiet on the Western Front ('79 version), and many others. Try finding any of those at Wally World!
