Grey Hunter

This has taken a while to read, but has been well worth it. well, my family was all none combatants Maternal Grandfather was reserved occupation - a fireman, Maternal Grandmother was a nurse delaing with casualties from europe. Paturnal Granfather was a mechanic in North africa and italy. the real oddity in my family is my paturnal grandmother and my paturnal grandfathers brother, who were both members of the codebreaking operations at Station X and Y. the odd thing is that neither knew of the others involvment until a few years ago, when the offical secrets act they had signed ran out. it was only at a family gathering, where a program about Bletchly Park (Station X) was on TV, and one of them mentioned it, off hand. they had known each other for 40 years, and had no idea that they had been doing the same job during the war!

Hmm, Cassino is missing, as is a decent Trobruk Scenario, but what scale is a hard one. I would rather have a serise of smaller maps dealing with the various parts of the battle, (well, battles) rather than a reduced scale, and the absolutly huge battles take to long. this scenario is a must, but it needs to be carfully planned

"MKI eyeballs" What you guys haven't got the MKII's yet? I find the hull down command usefull when i have a lot of armour and i'm rushed, it just saves a bit of time

Thanks. and work like this always should have recognition, if this was ancient rome i'd try and organise a Tribute for all mod makers

I bow before you! No i can erradicate the Waffen grenidiers from my game, and finally play the scenarios that contain SS, i have been avoiding them as i find that alteration very annoying. My next Question may be already answered, but is their a graphics mod that alters the WG symbol to the SS one? also is their a CMAK mod to replace the german flags with ones with swasticas? there was on for CMBO, but i wonder if a variant has been made for CMBB and CMAK?

Xmas is a time to use 88's and flak wagons to REALLY welcome santa to your home! Time to shoot the fat man down!

Actually the thread about the Itallians now has more people backing them up than attacking them, its just a few people who feel they have to play "My Country WAS Better than yours". your right, any man who served in the second world war deserves all the respect that we can give him.

That was short for East Through West, the war covered a little bit of ground

So, Some Italian Troops Surrendered, while others died where they stood, I don't really see the point of this, is it any different to any other nation in the second world war The British : were beaten back at Dunkurk and in East-West Africa when Rommel attacked, but held their positions in Arnham and Tobruk far beyond what could be expected. USA : Ran like buggery during the start of the battle of the bulge, and during Kassarine (sp.) Pass, but held Bastogne with Airborne against Armmoured units. Russia : Well, I don't need to give an exsample for the start of the war, but held at Stalingrad and never lost leningrad despite 900+ days of siege. Germany: Held in the Bocage, Belgiem and Russia, but crumbled under the onslaughts of the Russians during their later offensives and Allies during Cobra. Japan: well, never really retreated, but had a tendancy to kill themsleves if it looked bad. So, Every nation had their good and bad points, it is more a matter of the drive of the soldiers rather than the quality, the Italina troops had nothing to fight for, so surrenred rather than dying pointlessly. But to lable a Whole nation Cowardly, that seems extreeme

Oddly Enough, the PanzerShrecks were based on captured Bazookas. talk about reality being stranger than fiction.

Well, we all know of the desasters of the Floating KVIII. the thing used to fall to the ground when hit by anything larger than a snowflake. in the end the just used them as a rapid way of making pillboxes on the front line. float along until you get hit, then dig in.

yep, there's even a flame version of the Hetzer in CMBO. Mmm. Flame Tanks.

well, were not supposed to, were technically metric, but the old people don't like it so stick to what they know. there been a court case over a man sellign banannas (????) by the pound, he's been fined over a grand.

I'm Dyslexic and barely monolingual, my entire German runs to "Yes" "No" "Don't Shoot" and "Faster".

Only If you promise to be nice and let old people cross in front of your T34/85. and I'm always amazed how many people feel the need to shout in forums. I think theres an epidemic of broken CapsLock keys.

I think that your as sane as the next none CMBB buyer. Whatever that says about you i'll leave up to history. Two weeks till it comes out in the UK

Hmm, Here in Stoke i've taken to laying traps for the postman, on the offchance that someone is getting a copy way in advance. so far no ones noticed the missing postmen. but as i said, this is Stoke. You wouldn't believe what some people buy mail order.

Am I the only person out there looking for work? Anyone need a Semi-literate Zoologist with no experiance who live in England? :confused: (what the hell, I'm Trying everywere else at the moment - I can't be anyworse off!)

wow - the largest rodent in the world compared to a fabled mexican vampire. who would of thought it?

Vie-Et-Nam? [runs to history book, Printed 1945, then to atlas] no, nothing happend there, whats this fighting you are talking about? are the NVA a Jap supported faction? [Or is this one of those newfangled post WWII things, I don't hold with them, you wippersnappers.] PS - i'm 21 pysically -121 menatally.

It's my lot in life to never be listened to. no one ever listens to anyone who is giving good advice.

okay, go to Japan, go up to someone (not a tourist though, that would be stupid.) and tell them thier mother was a prosititute as was their farther. Die. see, no wait, appart from the plane journey and ticket booking, a couple of weeks max.

Why does any thread on system specs always devolve into a "Mines Bigger Than Yours"? Don't do it. I Don't care what the system specs of your newest Aquasition/Pet/Child/Wife (del as appropreate) are, I just want to know if the game will run on my computer. Its no consolation to know that YOU will have no probs, the question is about MY COMPUTER. (Deep Breath) sorry rant over.

They already have. he just dosn't remeber it. and nither do you.

AM I a god? I think I am, no, I KNOW I am.
