Most websites are now 'responsive' in that they adapt to being viewed on different sized sceens rather than seperately coded for small mobile screens / tablets / desktop monitors / laptops. IE has been the bane for web developers for yonks as MS didn't adhere to commonly agreed web standards , so addendum workaround code needs to be added to websites to bodge them to work with IE. Chrome/Firefox or a mac wth Safari should tide you over.

Your kidding right? Suggest you start with researching Hitler's attitude to Expressionism, Cubism, Dadaism, Fauvism, futurism or objective realism. van Gogh, Matisse, Kandinsky, Picasso and Cezanne - then look at Hitller's own paintings to understand who contributed more to Western Culture. Read up on how revisionist David Irving lost his Holocaust libel case. And finish with watching film from liberated concentration camps at the close of the war if you think poor Nazis are misunderstood.

King Edward VIII's leangings are well, or should be, known in UK from newspapers, books and at least one movie (based on Japanese authors book), depicts British uppper class Nazi sympathies - Remains of the Day hasn't caused any riots up the Mall, I spose for even those that are aware, as it's history. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3165923/Pictured-Queen-taught-NAZI-SALUTE-Edward-VIII-secret-1933-film-Balmoral.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4712010/Churchill-s-bid-cover-Duke-s-link-Nazis.html

Putin seems to be incrementally taking over Georgia
Wicky replied to John Kettler's topic in General Discussion Forum
Also next door to Bhutan in Northern India is Arunachal Pradesh which China claims and was the route of a major incursion in the 60s is a potential flashpoint. Bought to my attention in a friend's book Land of the Dawn-lit Mountains: A Journey across Arunachal Pradesh - India's Forgotten Frontier -
Putin seems to be incrementally taking over Georgia
Wicky replied to John Kettler's topic in General Discussion Forum
The current mutual defense treaty (Article 2) between China & NK that was signed in 1962 is up for renewal in 2021. So NK having strategic weapons in the bank would give them greater independence if they were cut loose. -

Tanks in Combat. (War Dept. Bulletin)
Wicky replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Park a tank (bigger the better ;-) in front of a machine gun with some troops immediately behind the tank and you'll find incoming MG fire is deflected - though crunchies aren't too happy when it's a sizable volume with richochets flying about... -

Wicky replied to Apocal's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Are they? The panther has a cupola with viewports permiting the commander to scan around at the outside world even though buttoned up. Ineffectively if you slow crawl the tubeguy into the building. -

Wicky replied to Apocal's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
As mentioned earlier - whenthe tube guy enters the building using hunt command, he'll generally stop when he see the tank , only after he takes a pot shot off is he spotted presumably by the smoke from his weapon and the tank machine guns back at where it was attacked from using MG fire. You can try sneaking into the building with hides and tight cover arcs and they won;t be detected - they can be sneaked up to higher floors to ge a shoot down onto weaker op armour and what I found was that they can get one or two shots off but if the tank isn't destroyed quickly then yes the tank will exact revenge. -

Wicky replied to Apocal's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
This a real time game the OP is egaged in (not what I usually play) and it allows more subtle timing control to come into play. But yes in turn base games what you suggest would be useful. -

Wicky replied to Apocal's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Well in game I can sneak the bazooka team into the buildings undetected and get a shot off before the tank MG shoots back at the now exposed tube guy. Have you allowed them to get one bazooka shot off and paused the game and given an immediate scarper order to try and give them the chance to escape before the provoked turret swings their way if it's not killed outright. It was a risky mission in RL same if you try it in game. -

Wicky replied to Apocal's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Tactics tactics on a decidely risky mission... I played through it a few times - essentially trick is to get right behind it to minimise the chance of being spotted and shoot at the weakest point up its bum - one shot one kill. Shooting from buildings to the panther's side wether ground level or higher floors the result is mainly partial penetrations and the discharge puff brings a destructive rain of revenge / or it can take out a tank crewman or two and send the hulk off seeking shelter to lick its wounds without firing a shot back.
