  1. Von Mellenthin is good for the activities of Rommel's staff, on which he served, but his book can't be said to provide the view of both sides that the original poster asked for. The same could be said to apply to Moorehead, who as a war correspondent, mostly saw the war from the allied side. Both are very good in their own terms.
  2. That should have been fun for you - we scattered her ashes two years ago.
  3. I'd wish you all Happy New Year, but when I wished you a Happy Christmas I had Soddball accusing me of drinking some sort of poncey, high-class meths.
  4. BFC have put a pretty good bibliogaraphy for CMAK on the main page. I'd second Mark's suggestion of Crucible of War (3 volumes in paperback, 2 in hardback)
  5. You should start collecting WW1 tanks, then you could go and play with your Little Willy.
  6. As I'll be out getting drunker tomorrow, I'll take this chance to wish all you maggots a Merry Christmas, I hope Santa brings you all you want, rather than all you deserve.

  8. I got one too. Straight in the deletified and blocked sender section that went, I can tell you. </font>

  10. Congratulations Jim, you managed to use the words 'Americans' 'eat' and 'least' in the same sentence without including the word 'not'. A literary first.

  12. Sig ownership is fine for two-player games, but if you lose to the AI, you should be forced to post the fact in the next 'WTF?! The AI suXXors' thread.
  13. Italy didn't choose to be invaded by the British and the Americans. They chose to take part in the German invasion of France in 1940. Once down that road, of course they'd try to damage Brits in North and East Africa as well unless they actually wanted to evacuate all Italian colonies there instead. A disastrous miscalculation. Even invading France didn't go well, and France was already in serious trouble. </font>
  14. I agree. They cracked the German code and could intercept important supplies. I think the Allies did this strategically so as not to tip off the Germans of their discovery. </font>
  15. No, BFC version doesn't come with a manual either. </font>
