"Causes headache" !!

Interesting, 808 = Plastic Explosive And digging around Brecourt Manor method of taking out the 105 guns - they apparently used TNT and a German grenade as a detenator on the first gun disabled. At least according to Ambrose... Though seems odd that if they carried in and used TNT demo blocks they didn't have their own fuses. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/271004-wwii-demolition-equipment-help/

US "Cannon Company" placed in wrong tab
Wicky replied to Bulletpoint's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Have a read of the monograph I linked to earlier - they were almost cancelled early on by McNair but call from those on the pointy end still wanted them which helped quickly overturn the decision - and while difficult to haul around and keep up with advances (they ideally wanted self-propelled guns) they proved useful in a few situations i.e. Sicily with distrupting enemy armour attacks and direct fire at blocking bunkers, fixed fortifications. -

I'm away from main puter so I don't have access to game to check - but it should feature in both Inf and Arty as they also provided top down div support as well. -

Because, from my reading, the cannon company was introduced into the infantry regiment Table of Organization (T/O) in March 1942. To provide a more bottom up, close up & personal infantry support role rather than a div top down approach. -

A peculiar thing the Cannon Company http://ww2f.com/threads/regimental-cannon-company.18759/ I noticed them in the editor and was puzzled in passing - but reading up on them prompted by your observation seems to reveal they were a bit of a mixed bag for categorisation. -

Pg 17 Posted Thursday at 12:47 AM Sorry, coming to this one late. Our policy is to not take preorders until we think we're withing 6-8 weeks of being ready to ship. Sometimes we hit this window, other times (like now) we do not. Customers have three choices: 1. Preorder and accept that we aren't exactly sure when the game will ship 2. Don't preorder and instead wait for the game to be done first 3. Preorder, get despondent that we're taking too long, contact the Help Desk, and ask for a refund Is there another reasonable and rational option that we should consider adding to the mix? Steve

Shock Force 2 Beta Showcase Video

NOOOOOO.... the bird sounds could be the Northern Bald Ibis https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2011/03/18/new-hope-for-a-rare-bird-in-the-syrian-desert-explorers-journal/ New Hope for a Rare Bird in the Syrian Desert, Explorers Journal A few years back, Gianluca Serra found a legendary bird thought extinct in Syria, with funds from National Geographic’s Committee for Research and Exploration. Now Serra is trying to forge a stable population of these ungainly creatures, with a little help from a prince and some first ladies. The northern bald ibis was considered extinct in Syria for more than 70 years, according to the scientific literature. Tell us about how this legendary bird was rediscovered — and when and where. We rediscovered the bald ibis on a remote cliff of the Syrian desert in April 2002, following clues from local hunters and Bedouin nomads as part of a general fauna survey of the area. The birds were the oriental subspecies of northern bald ibis, which had not been seen for many years. -

Sd.Kfz 251s: Not just battle taxis

I don't think JK reads what he links to As CM shows unless the enemy is sufficiently supressed / ill equipped then experimentation is likely to be a painful failure. -

Intersting with Norway as I thought there was a social welfare alternative as a subsitute if folks were disinclined for miliitary service. But it seems there's so few exemptions applied for that they are simply let go. (might have changed as the article is from 2011 and woman have since been conscripted) https://www.wri-irg.org/en/story/2011/norway-end-substitute-service-conscientious-objectors Vet 0369 - would you offer alternative of serving instead on social welfare schemes i.e working for benefit of old, infirm, learning difficulties etc. ?

Ancient Cthulhu Temple Discovered in England
Wicky replied to JulianJ's topic in General Discussion Forum
Been there many moons ago on a very hot summer's day when the fair ground was still going - it was fascinatingly carved out from soft chalk and gratefully nice & cool when topside temps were in the 90s. More feasibly a Victorian folly / tourist attraction and expanded upon from an old chalk mine with decorations as it was 'found' about the time that railways from London to Kent seaside made weekend day tripping possible. Follow the money as CTers say...:-) http://www.kentarchaeology.ac/authors/023.pdf I was possibly cursed that day as an unbeliever as I picked up a scabby scalp infection after swimming in Margate's effluent outflow lovely healing waters... Ye olde Chalk / flint mines exist along the east and south coast originally laid down when Britain was around where the Med is in a tropical climate low laying island chain. An artist friend has been working on a project in Bury St Edmunds where there's a network of chalk tunnels and caverns > https://www.welovebse.com/2016/04/chalk-work-tunnels/ Chalk tunnels in Dover > https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3167510/Secret-network-tunnels-constructed-White-Cliffs-Dover-help-stop-German-ships-moving-freely-Channel-World-War-II-reopens-public-time-40-years.html The Fan Bay Deep Shelter was carved out of chalk in just 100 days- 6 replies
