Would like the ability to create a large CM map, and then be able to "cut and paste" into smaller sections of individual CM maps. -
Sounds like your a little mixed up, you should have divorced the wife then brought CM, not brought CM and divorced the wife. Now...she could get awarded care of the disks!

While looking for more info on CMAK.............came across this articile .......which is short but interesting...........and they may be in CMAK! ORGANIZATION OF SOUTH AFRICAN FORCES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN The South African Army had many things in common with the armies of the United States and Canada - including sizeable opposition to enforced military service (as was found in Canada, especially Quebec) and institutionalized racism (as found in the United States). Nonetheless, South African soldiers also matched the bravery and skill of their allies - and enemies - and earned for themselves many hard-fought Battle Honours in North Africa and Italy. South Africa could boast only 3,300+ regular serving soldiers in September 1939, with 14, 361 more in the Active Citizen Force. The ACF was organized into brigade groups, nine in number, and trained to fight enemies in southern Africa. After the outbreak of war, the formation of a Mobile Field Force was suggested, to number two infantry divisions reinforced by a mounted brigade and armoured regiment, with supporting forces such as artillery and coastal defence troops - in all 140,000 men. South Africa at the time had a population including 2,400,000 white skinned people, only 320,000 of whom were males of military age (20 - 40 years). Enlistment of black skinned troops for combat units was not considered; they were relegated to driving and engineering tasks to free up whites for combat. Of this small white population, conscription was not considered acceptable - the war against Germany was supported only by a narrow majority in the South African government, and was not popular among many of the civil population. As the South African Army began to equip itself, the prospect of combat against the Germans did not seem likely. In March 1940 a brigade was promised by the South African government to provide troops to Kenya, to defend British territory against the Italians. The oath taken by South African soldiers, however, did not permit their employment outside southern Africa, and a new oath was administered on 29 March, permitting those that chose to swear by it to be employed anywhere on the continent of Africa. In June 1940, war was declared on Italy, after that nation invaded France in the last days of the German invasion there. Fighting in East Africa followed in which the South Africans distinguished themselves. The First Division moved from East Africa to Egypt in May 1941, to be joined by the Second Division. Fierce fighting in North Africa punished the South Africans; an entire brigade was destroyed in November 1941 at Sidi Rezegh, and an entire division less one brigade would surrender at Tobruk in June 1942. The remaining division fought at El Alamein and was played a role in the 8th Army's final victory there. The First Infantry Division was withdrawn from service after the victory in North Africa, and a long desired plan to field an armoured division began to become reality. In February 1943, the Sixth Armoured Division began to form; after a year of training in Egypt - and yet another oath to be taken by men, freeing them to serve outside of Africa - the division move to Italy. The British would have preferred another Infantry formation, but with the loan of a second infantry brigade, the Division served first with the 8th Army and then from August 1944 with the United States Fifth Army. Manpower shortages would plague the division in action throughout the war. By war's end, some 132, 194 men had volunteered for full time service with the South African Army; of these close to 3400 were killed, over 7200 wounded, and over 12,000 were captured or went missing.

Think this model had 5 chiefs and one crew member, who fled on the order to dive!. It has not moved since, dispite the number of orders being issued. -
