  1. Great idea! When I was at Ft. Belvoir for Engineer Advanced course I found a book in the library on just this subject. Had a series of tactical problems with mission, toe, time, and terrain. You develop your course of action then compare it with the "book solution" OBTW it was a training book published around 1940. ESSAYONS!
  2. Minefields are normally laid down at a given density to get a 50-75% chance of a hit on a tank crossing it. This is the minefield density and is usually given as mines per meter front. Doctrinally they are used to slow and channel the enemy into kill zones. Any kills from the minenfields is gravy. Essayons! Vauban
  3. There I was, 8 platoons of german infantry hiding in the woods well dosed with 155mm VT. Send in the flame tank I yelled. Slowly it moved in----it stops----it sprays everything in sight with its----MG! Over and over I try to get it to use its flamethrower. My Wasps always work but not this sherman croc! Only thing I can see different is I had one crewman out of action in the tank. Any suggestions
