    German Machinegun Doctrine

    Edit: changed topic name =P

    Now that I have your attention does anyone recall how the German machine gun doctrine worked, just need to know if I am advancing my troops properly and I haven't been able to find any proper manuals on the subject online at all.

    Basically when I would do is have have one CO be almost right next to the HMG crew on some kind of overwatch or keyhole position, covering the advance my rifle/smg/whatever infantry went to their destination. When I felt the coast was clear and there is sufficient power already present to cover the HMG crew and CO's advance I move them along to, yep, a keyhole or overwatch position covering the advance of my troops.

    (BTW: yes I have a CO present with my forces as they advance, and if needed I will bring along a Panzershreck alongside the CO of the advancing squads)

    So is this basically how it worked or do I have the whole thing totally skewered

    wtf, guys why are you skewering him?? It was probably something called a "FIGURE OF SPEECH" when he said the 80% thing. He really didn't read 80% but he has read alot.

    And I thought the figure of speech was a common occurence in the English language.

    What I think he meant was how were the Germans were very succesful early on in the war with what in many cases was inferior weaponry.

    Insane/Wacky scenarios

    LOL! A flamethrower duel, I've never thought of that!

    I've come up with some ideas though,

    What about a map only 400 meters wide but 2,000+ meters long. Get some AT guns and tanks and we can have a ultra long range shootout!

    Or a map called Quality vs. Quantity.

    It'll be 10 or 15 german Uber Tanks versus swarms of some Allied not-so-uber tanks.

    (No grogs roast me for that one, I very well know late war Shermans and such were at least on par with quite a few German tanks. I was referring to maybe some Sherman I's or maybe Greyhounds =P....OR DAIDLERS XD)
