SPI's "Napoleon's Last Battles" was my first. I thought it was the be-all and end-all How far we've come... ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Flame! Allied flamethrowing vehicles have a much better range than the German crud. Try a Crocodile or a Badger on for size. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

What "hospital" (sic) place did you have in mind? You don't like your cess with a hint of maple? Shut the feck up and send me a turn, Slapwich. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

All leaps of military doctrine require a pioneer, someone to step forward and say "Let's do it this way". That pioneer also has to be in a position to actually implement the change, a Bruchmuller, a Guderian. Until then, keep manoevering ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

I don't think it's too great a leap of logic to suggest that when the commander has more info than the men on the ground, he is going to take a more active role in their movements.

When a thread moves off page one, people sometimes "bump" it back to the top of the message list by posting in the thread. This thread will now move to the top of page one. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Declination should be listed right on any 1:25:00 or 1:50,000 map. Get a map and find out. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Sorry, didn't realize you were looking for online stuff only.

Yeah, well, it's a fecking hobby. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

I think I'll add that one to my wish list. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Check out "Inside the VC and NVA" by Lanning & Cragg. Pretty good read with some good info. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

That's what we get for tryin' to help out Maxim-ass. If you don't like the language the English gave you, learn another, and stop telling the rest of the world what's right. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

And Lord how we've tried... ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Both the M4A2 and M4A4 used fully welded hulls. However, the front armour on the M4A4 was simpler than the M4A2, using five major sections instead of seven. Both used castings and rolled plate for the major sections, but I am unclear which sections were made of what. I suspect the M4A4 used more castings and less rolled plate, which would account for its poorer rating. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

So glad you had a nice day. *I*, on the other hand, had nothing to brighten my day but a nice, mellow, lovingly hand-rolled Havana. Oh, I'm sorry, can't you get those in the land of the free? And it's "opulent" you ninny. You should launder some of that embezzled money by investing in an education. Oh, and if you're quite done setting up, send along the first move -- I hate to bother (as it has only been two weeks), but I'd like to get started before the next millenium. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Labatts, eh? Well, I guess next to American beer it does seem good. It hardly compares to an Upper Canada Winterbrew though (a mere 8% alcohol). Don't know what size bottle the factory brews come in, but a quick glance at the pile of empties in the kitchen shows sizes ranging from 341ml to 355ml, depending on the brand. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

LOL. That can't be Mensch though. Note the erect posture of the member, which also lacks the scabs and sores rumoured to abound there. Bauhaus will have more info. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Question is: How fast are YOU? Behold the glory that is Canada. Sorry to tell you though, we snapped this one during rutting season. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Now THAT'S the spirit! LOL ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Skott, check out Warphead's link. There's a third wheel. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Ohhhh, Bagotville. I thought you said somethin' else This land is your land, This land is my land, From Bona Vista, To Vancouver Island, This land is your land, This land is my land, This land was paid for YOU by ME!!!! ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

You didn't specify nationality, but here's some thoughts. - Hellcat -- speedy and lethal. - Archer -- (yes really). Got a chance to use one the other day and it really is a fully function mobile AT gun. Give it good cover and a path to fast move to safety. - Any 76mm armed tank. - Daimlers/Greyhounds -- also speedy and can be very dangerous on defence. Low cost and flexible platforms. - 57mm/6pdr AT gun -- set them up with interlocking fields of fire to get flank shots. Few Germans can take these in the side. Keep them hidden and don't reveal them until the panzers show themselves. - 40mm Bofors -- shreds light things, blows down buildings like a hurricane, and will suppress/pin/break anything soft it catches moving. It won't last long once spotted though. Just my thoughts. Others will disagree. Everyone has their favourites. ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Oh, please, please, be the first to really accurately model the Lee/Grant. I soooo want to explore the capabilities of this vehicle! ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...

Mace and Moose. Apart from being alliteratively unacceptable, I don't think it would work. Besides, I don't know what "Mace" in the past tense would be. Maced I suppose, but Mace Moosed is some scary imagery. In other news, he (Mace "Boogie Nights" Knight) sent me some "computer" generated QB assault. So How does a company of Churchill VIIIs cross 800m of open ground with a King Tiger on the other side anyway? Herr Oberst continues to astonish me. He sends turns about as often as the optometrist sends me a "reminder". I'm quite sure he sucks beyond all recognition (SuBAR), but at this rate he'll never PROVE it... ------------------ When it's my turn to march up to Glory, I'm gonna have one HELL of a story...
