  1. Christie tank - some went to Soviets which led in turn to BT tanks And also led to Cruiser tanks > Crusader etc.used Christie Suspension https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christie_suspension Hetzer using Czechoslovakian Panzer 38(t) chassis had leaf-spring suspension https://www.rctankwarfare.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=150&t=26306 BT Tank Christie suspenders
  2. Challenge for politicians (and us all) is keeping the patient (country) alive and functioning 6–9–12 months (poss. longer...) while on lockdown undergoing treatment during World War Flu... 20/03/20 Restriction to continue ‘most of a year’ Policies to limit the spread of coronavirus would need to be in place for "at least most of a year" to prevent intensive care units being overwhelmed, according to official scientific advice to the government. The documents, prepared by the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage), said alternating between more and less strict measures could "plausibly be effective at keeping the number of critical care cases within capacity". Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce COVID- 19 mortality and healthcare demand Here is a link to the full text of the Imperial College study of the future course of the infection in the UK and US under various scenarios for government actions. According to reports, this study has been exceptionally influential on the US and UK governments very recently. The study simulates the future of the disease with a very detailed and complex model. Each individual is modeled and different sorts of interactions in schools, at work, and socially are done. Census data is used to assign simulated individuals to various groupings that interact with each other in different ways. The conclusions are sobering. They say there are two basic options. Option A is suppression with strong lockdown measures. They conclude this can succeed and keep the disease from spreading to most of the population. But lockdown measures have to be maintained until an effective vaccine is ready. When the lockdown is relaxed, the virus comes back. Option B is mitigation. The curve is flattened. Peak health care demand is reduced by 2/3 and deaths by half. But hundreds of thousands still die and healthcare systems are overwhelmed many times over. So, crippling economic and social damaged for at least 12-18 months or huge numbers of deaths.
  3. Still to be fixed - if it can be tuned out. Not game breaking IMHO but can be odd and disconcerting seeing pixeltroopen going lairy around hedgerow gaps and charging forward with no due regard for their virtual selves. Just deal with them as they present themselves and move on...
  4. The pair appeared to be hunting forward with a armour cover arc - going against them was that they were moving and tired. Also there was a tree between them and the tank Though with all the hammering and banging going on I would have thought at minimum a sound contact. If at the end of the turn you ordered them to stop where they were, run the next turn and let a spotting cycle or two to do its work I'd expect the pair to figure out that there was tank ahoy.

  6. In CMBO I found myself with an allied truck overrun and surprised by an encroaching Tiger and so gave it minute's worth of movement orders to run circles around the clumsy giant - less out of choice more as a desperate measure as it had nowhere to hide or run to. The truck was doing remarkably well avoiding getting directly targetted by the Tiger's main gun when it suddenly exploded due to the Nahverteidigungswaffe
  7. There's a few more leads if you use google to seach for the short 3 letter file name

  9. Re. Tigger - VB It was heavily bombed from the air which took out some Tigers. Hole in light metal storage bin probably from shrapnel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Villers-Bocage#Bombing_and_liberation
  10. Chinese-produced Huawei subsidiary HiSilicon Digital Video Recorder (DVR) Network Video Recorder (NVR) used for CCTV have a dodgy back door.
  11. Right at this moment there's a mass deployment in North Wales (precise localation is Top Secret) of ground forces under the codename 'Dragon Rally' (concentration moto Pays de Galles)" annual excercise following 'Elephant Rally' on the continent Weather forecst looks fun for them
  12. Interesting https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/mac/best-egpu-mac-3673105/ Can't see any reason why it shouldn't work with CM - it just needs someone to be first to test. What Mac are you planning to use it with?
  13. I thought it was introduced a while back that guns can move a short distance (an action square) without resetting up penalty - though it may be just limited to wheeled guns. Try hopping it a short move away and see what happens.
  14. Sounds like a wrong install - Download and use the latest all in one installer.
  15. From the link above Late war camo With the war coming to an end, the economical situation of Nazi Germany was becoming more and more hopeless. Shortages of supplies and allied bombers hit factories hard, so less and less equipment was resupplied for retreating Wehrmacht. Tanks which were provided to frontline units were sometimes unfinished or scrapped from few destroyed or damaged vehicles. Sometimes turret, hull, Schürzen, engine and other components were taken from another vehicle each. In that case, no one bothered to unify camouflage of salvaged tank. Late version of Tiger I tank in yellow-brown camo. In 1944 the painting of German tanks was obverted. Olivegrün became the basic color, while Dünkelgelb became camouflaging one. Another new method, designed to save time and resources, was painted dark green camouflage over anti-corrosion primer hull red (Rotbraun RAL 8012). Sometimes because of lack of either materials or time, some parts of the tank were left in base primer color. Because of that, some late war vehicles, especially those defending German mainland and Berlin, were often painted in very strange way.
  16. I think you'll be hard pressed to find ready made seamless patterns but with google and using appropriate key words ( ww2 german tank camouflage patterns) you'll find various img sources, plus more references i.e. https://agtom.eu/en/content/25-pojazdy-niemieckie-z-ii-ws Along with paint colour charts etc. to begin trial and error with photoshop / gimp image editing to achieve what you're after. Funnily enough I'm working on a project using internet images as a source for different motorycles and stripping out their painted colour so any colour can be added.
  17. Combat Mission - Great Emu War Emus 2 - Australian Army 0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War In 1932 Australian troops were dumbfounded when they found themselves outmaneuvered by clever birds during the Emu Wars. EARLY ON THE morning of 2 November 1932, the Seventh Heavy Battery of the Royal Australian Artillery alighted at Campion, WA, on to a hot red-dirt landscape about halfway between Perth and Kalgoorlie. There they unpacked two Lewis automatic machine guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition.
  18. Depends if the scenario maker allows it - some scenarios (not many) have them locked in position, otherwise simply use the move command to plonk em around your setup zone.
