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.

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)

Come back from a weekend at the coast. Drinking wine, being festive and entertaining per usual, and what awaits me in my Inbox? A fooking email from Piss-poor Ole Spunkjunkie. How the crotch-grabbing, grub-eating, pile of fecal matter even got my email is a mystery, much less the motivation for sending a X-mas proclaiming what a kewl feckin dood he is cuz the monkey-yanker won some crap ladder tourney...what the feck? I have attempted to restrain myself from even looking at anything relating to that useless scrote much less berate him in the fashion that he deserves. And then how is my kindness repaid? A ****e email full of nothing and wasting 30 seconds of my life. Time to brush up on my letter-bombing....

11. Why do they put the 'Edit' and 'Reply' buttons so close together?

Congratulations Jim, you managed to use the words 'Americans' 'eat' and 'least' in the same sentence without including the word 'not'. A literary first.Originally posted by Jim Boggs:6) In what month do Americans eat the least?

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.

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>Originally posted by Sergei:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Dirtweasle:
A related question comes to mind;
What in the Wide World of Sports were the Italians thinking?
I can understand they might have a chance with their tankettes and other assorted tin coffins fighting poorly armed natives in North Africa, but to say they were a bit under-armored for a fight with a modern opponent seems quite charitable.

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>Originally posted by Jack Carr:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by chris talpas:
Another critical factor was ULTRA. The British were able to sink much of Rommel's supplies as they crossed the Med leaving him chronically short of materiel.
Reading Rommel's mail allowed an adjustment in strategy. Not that different from peeking at your opponent's move prior to plotting your own.

Aren't limericks supposed to rhyme?Originally posted by Boo Radley:I had a girlfriend named Debbi.
She broke my heart.
It still affects me.
Even today, if I heard that stoats had eaten her alive,
I'd dance a little jig of despair.
And I would take more than a minute.

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.
