Perhaps you shouldn't be posting your key-code on an open forum? Did you reply to BFC's question? -
...ello? .......................ello? ...............................................ello? I think that it quietened down a lot after political threads were banned. We haven't had a recipe thread in a while either.

Such weapons were often assigned to the HQ as there they could be best directed by the platoon leader.

Area target the building? I seem to remember that working with rather successful results.

There are two common, modern, systems that do not use a rocket. The Carl Gustav 84mm (in use in the US as the M3 MAAWS) and the related AT4 (variants in service across the world, most notably in service with the US as the M136. Both are recoilless rifles. In addition, the obsolescent German Armbrust system is a counter-mass gun. Interestingly, RPG7 has a boost/sustain arrangement where an initial motor pushes it out of the tube and a second motor burns throughout flight to keep the speed up. This has some advantages including reduced launch signature compared to other systems that burn

Units not appearing in QB's

FO sections bought from the Formations list would not appear under the Bn HQ, so thy would not highlight. They also appear on the map mounted, so the tactical symbol shows them as jeeps - you have to dismount the FO team to get the FO symbol. -

I think that it reduces the probability of a red-base casualty (seriously injured) from becoming a brown base (KIA) I also think that it's a kind of Turing test to see if the player has human characteristics. -

As time goes on, it becomes easier to create complex looking videos. And the more whinging that goes on in the forums, perhaps the motivation to do so increases as well. -

Are the British ranks correct?
flamingknives replied to LukeFF's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
It's entirely probable that Privates are not put in charge of independent teams, so you would never see them. -
Machine Gun Battalion?

Considering that Uncle, Mike and other target calls were for engaging targets of opportunity, a rigorous procedure would be counter-productive. http://nigelef.tripod.com/maindoc.htm is a good site to look at British Artillery procedures. It quotes 5 minutes for 144 guns on an impromptu target.
