You're very welcome. The advantages of Magweb are articles from over 80 history and wargaming magazines for one low cost. And no trees have to die (unless you print out articles). Best deal in the business if you ask me, and they've been around a while too.

Commissar, Try http://www.magweb.com/ I think you'll find it's what you're looking for.

I believe he is talking about getting a new vehicle, not any gamey issues. In a VB op, I kept Wittman on the map and he returned later in a spanking new Tiger. So I don't think it matters whether they're on map or not.

That's a neat find. Thanks. EDIT: I notice they are not charging even for shipping, which is a little suspicious. Still, the online version is interesting. [This message has been edited by Forever Babra (edited 01-07-2001).]

Read Kiwis answer again. He does not mention range. He mentions spin.

They did.

All the more reason for us to remain extra nice.

bummer!

Could be fun.

Don't know what to tell you, Dragoon. This vehicle below has been called a IIC repeatedly. In fact, it's a Grizzly. Of 188 Grizzlys produced, only two are known to have carried the 17 pdr. Neither served in Europe.

Strange as it may seem, some people actually WANT to survive.

A 40mm Bofors packs a lot of punch. They make good flank protection (I once scared away a Tiger with one -- he thought it was an AT gun). If you want to keep them in the fight, purchase a prime mover for them and move them up.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Release date is April.

Major Tom. I believe that movie was called "Panzer Attack!" or something similar. I caught it on the late late late show some years back.

Naw. It was the fella from the Haunted Tank. ------------------ Is "patheti-sad" a word?

I love 'em. Small note - After Normandy, Canadians often (unofficially) reversed the allied star, turning it upside down. There was a great deal of grumbling about having "American" symbols on the vehicles. ------------------ Is "patheti-sad" a word?

Yup. Here's another. Staghound. Staghound with rockets. Rocket pods slaved to 37mm.... Ooooh, the destruction...

Letoya Jackson will be there!!! YOU MUST NOT MISS IT!!!!

Gee, my vote would have gone to Hans Rudel (the Stuka pilot alluded to). ------------------ Is "patheti-sad" a word?

That was fixed a couple of versions ago. Halftracks will move away from a mortar attack automatically. I think you just got unlucky and didn't get away fast enough. ------------------ Is "patheti-sad" a word?

Am I the only one who sees a problem with the dates credited for those pics? ------------------ Is "patheti-sad" a word?
