    Nah should be possible without a marine unit. Those lads on d-day were regular infantry.
  2. So I took a days off work to see Warsaw, Poland. I guess it kind of a must-see for ww2 buffs.

    Warsaw was completly destroyed during the war, and all of it has been rebuild. But nothing have been forgotten and through out the city you will see memorial signs of massacres committed by the nazis.

    two must sees:

    Warsaw uprising museum

    As late as 1990 it was forbidden in communist Poland to view the uprising as something more than bandits and german collaborats. However since fall of communism, the polish state has created an honary museum to the home army's uprising in 1944. This tragic and heroic event is depicted in large two stories building with tons of good info in both polish and english.

    Highly recommended for all ww2 buffs and all who want a closer look a polish bravery caught in a titanic struggle between Soviet Union and Germany.

    Polish army museum

    Information is provided mainly in polish which makes it a bit hard for a foreigner. However they got a really good ww2 section with uniforms and arms of the polish armed forces. Even the german goliath viechle is present.

    The true gem though is the outside yard where collections of ww2 and cold war weapons can been seen. Here are some examples:

    T-34/76

    T-34/85

    Is-2

    T-55

    Sherman M4A1

    Jagdpanzer 38 "Hetzer"

    german armoured personel carriers

    etc

    Yak-9

    IL-2

    TU-2

    plus lots of british and russian howitzers

    take some time off to go to Warsaw. With the low-budget airlines prices are cheap for european citizens.

  3. Actually it does not make any sense and is troublesome in very aspect. Thats just what you get with tiles.

    WaW is a truely great game and I guess we are spoiled to have such support from the Dev.

    However I am still angry that instead of introducing hexes and retreat-rules we now continue down the same road with an expansion with the same basic tiles. Im not doubting it will be good just frustrated that we are not able to take the sc series to the next level.

    Well, I'd be curious to know what the right scale might be for a corps-level WWII ETO game.

    You can make any map you want, whatever scale. You want something 1.5 times bigger? Fine. What are you going to put on it?? It's one thing to take one of these benchmark games and adapt it to SC2 like I've done, but you need to keep things relative. Are you going to make the OOBs and economics 1.5x bigger too? Or are you going to start from scratch and disregard all the work that has gone on before? Again, you can do anything you want.

    Well it's quite easy, you use too few corps in your scenario according to the historical figures.. So map is too small to make a coherent frontline work.

    You should look in my Battle for Russia scenario for a more realistic corps-sized scenario. Not saying it's perfect but it works well with the historical figures of ww2.

    I think Normal Dude came really close with his Mediterranean experiment a while ago.

  5. Just watched the credits for waw and Ive noticed something interesting. Everyone had their names put out except one that is just referred to by his screen-name: BLASHY

    this is the final evidence to confirm that BBlashy actually is Huberts brother Tony Cater.

    But in order to cover it up he goes under the name "Blashy".

    case closed.
