Hello all,
I am looking for info regarding the 277HAA BTY who were a part of the above regiment. I know they were destroyed on the 20th of June 1942 at Tobruk then reformed but after searching for a while I havent come up with where they were on the line, or which formation they were with. Could anybody check any references they might have please.
Thanks in advance

Thanks

Hey Hey ladies and gents. Just recently somone close bought me a book I already owned, my immediate thought was to give it away on this forum to anyone in England Wales or Scotland because of shipping costs.
The first to answer these questions will win the 900 days the seige of leningrad by Harrison E Salisbury.
1. what was the 15th Guards rifle division called before it was given the status of 'Guards'?.
2. who was the commander of the Tirpitz for its first two years of commision?.
Thanks.

The 900 Days, The seige of Leningrad by Harrison E. Salisbury.
KNac this is one I Picked up cheap in paperback recently. Its title is almost the same as the Glanz one so I dont know if you will have seen it. It doesnt look like it has loads of maps or anything but it has over 500 pages dealing with the seige. Unfortunately I have yet to read my copy so I cant comment on it, sorry.
Hope you find what you need mate.

well as far as I know (and many know a lot more) it goes like this...
Pioneers are Engineers
Jeager are Light infantry
Auk...them, there Recon
erm grenadiers I dont really know I think those and the Fusiliers are basic infantry types.
Somtimes Companys of Inf look the same the trick is to buy a Battalion and look at the differences there. Hope I help mate oh yeah and if not try here... Fieldgrua website

I know all the Mine markers work. I tried some the other day and they didnt need renumbering either. The walls and hedge should work and the barbed wire in theory but I havent tried them yet. Personally I wouldnt mind looking at bringing some of the snow mods back but wouldnt know how to really, ah well I can only do small no brainer tasks.

No sorry, mate should have been clearer, what I meant was if you could use the same process as placing rubbled bridges and rubble on fire to be able to swap a building from on fire to partially damaged (not rubbled). So if I start with a building on fire view it and then swap it for a normal building would that create the desired effect?. Unfortunately it doesnt but maybe that is the way It could be implemented in the future.
Sorry I wasnt clear.

Hi all,
I just opened up a scenario and took a look around and noticed that all buildings on fire look damaged (obvouisly), now is there any way to replace the building on fire with one not on fire and keep the damage? (al la rubbled bridges). I dont really know but it just sorta struck me as a way to maybe work around it. Has anybody tried this (I bet all things have been tried by now but yknow)
well thanks for listening.

Hey Thanks mate, now my Icons are complete. I was actually waiting for these to pop up and when I saw that you could add these I thought I would ask.
Cheers
Dan

RK, Thanks for the effort they were the scenario icons I used in cmbo and were my favourites. I dont suppose I could be cheeky and ask if you could make the finnish Icon into the Finnish Swastika like it is in someone elses mod, I foreget whos now but it would be just the ticket. Great job with the new flame, its about time somone did away with that gaint orange slug!.
Thanks for listening and the Effort.
Dan.

Could anybody help me, plus I cant find which BMP the Landmark writing is Id like to return to the original Blue. Ive searched for about the last hour but cant find anything in the forum I remember a thread not long ago with a bmp list in if you could just tell me the name of the thread.
Thanks
Dan

I think you have to load it. first go into program files and cut and paste it from the scenarios folder to the saved games folder. now in the custom map screen load it using load game. now you can use the map any way you want. Dont know how the original designers feel but as long as you are using it for personal games I dont think theyll mind.
The above is just what I think dont blame me if im wrong.

It was on history channel not long ago. Not tom hanks the footage and it said exactly what you have written.Originally posted by Spanish Bombs:There is a lot more footage of this, including the Americans climbing out of the Sherman that is originally taken out by the Panther. At least one of the American tankers has lost a foot, and its pretty gritty footage seeing him climb out of the tank.
There was a Tom Hanks hosted show on combat filmmakers a year back or so, I think I may still have it on tape. It has an interview with the guy who filmed this footage. I recall a couple of things: 1) the guy called the Panther a "Tiger" 2) the guy said that the German commander had lost his legs before climbing out of the turret, and did not survive. In fact I think he said that the commander's body was on top of the burning tank. 3) the Panther burned for a few days.
BTW, I know the site with the link is pretty odious, but I would hope the topic/footage itself isn't worthy of a lock. I find the footage to be some of the most amazing combat film I've ever seen, and after all most of us are knocking out Shermans and Panthers in CM on a daily basis.
