You never heard of Advanced Squad Leader? It is also referred to as ASL. It's been around since '83, the predecessor: Squad leader was released back in 1977. I've been playing this for years, shelved it for PC games and now am back to the old classic.

I just got my copy of the book in the mail about Scobie and the Battle for Athens. This book will supply me with the detail I need. Turns out that this is a very good book. Cool.

"Scobie a hero of Athens?" Well, that is mentioned in the title of the book I ordered.

Thanks Aftentiiten! i just ordered the book: "General Scobie, hero of Athens..." and will glean what I can from that piece. To me this action is definitely WWII esoterica as troops needed elsewhere were sent to a theater to fight a former ally. Amazing, while troops are fighting in the Bulge this was going on in Greece. Sad but interesting...

Guys, this forum is often the best place for me to seek out links and info on obscure history. I am currently researching the British forces in Athens in 1944. I know the KRRC, 4 Indian Divison and later the regular 4th Infantry Division were deployed but what armor did the Brits have when they defended Constitution Square against heavy attacks by ELAS in December 1944? ANYTHING will be greatly appreciated.

I do not think it is a browser issue. I have noticed the same thing and my buddy who uses a mac with another ISP sees the same thing.

And right next to Dracula's childhood home...

I was in Sighisoara back in 96. Their Old Town is one of the best preserved in Europe.

Hello all. I am doing research into this epic fight (sources say over one million men were involved in one way or another). This forum has always helped me locate some great links for more info, so if any of you out there have found anything I might find useful please let me know. Thanks!

The learning curve is a couple of days. I like it. Well designed and intelligent. This should hold me over until CM2:N.

Yep, looks great. Can't wait.

Since I am typing this then my new password works.

Gunfreak--cool! Thanks for ther heads up. I did enjoy take Command's games very much.

Yeah Gunnergoz, who knows. I only got those problems with that site. I guess I'll just avoid that site in the future. I definitely enjoyed the pics until my pc froze.

Hmmm, I've been waiting since 2004...Eh, what's a few more years?

I liked the photos but did not like the "congratulations you won..." announcement as i opened the link. Then my computer froze. Hmmm, is this a buggy site?

Fun! Thanks!

Just another great link provided by a forum member. More than half of my favorite websites have been found by fellow forum members. Add this one to the list--thanks Blackhorse.

There is much to be said for entertainment value. That's why I check in at this forum every day--good info, great links and a few laughs!

Michael Emrys is a typo grog?

Blackcat, the Doc thinks I have had this for over ten years judging by my high uric acid readings. As far as energy goes, the more weight I lose the more energy I have. Unfortunately I live in Wisconsin. Right now I am not too enthused about wondering about outside in 6 degree weather...

I had also seen bootleg versions while in China. I tried to like EYSA but it never stuck with me as did the CM series. UH-OH! Here I go again pining for CM 2 WWII...

Blackcat--I have read about gout on various websites that claim that light beer does not lessen the bouts of gout(there is so much info contradicts other info). I have resigned myself to giving up my favorite non-filtered ale--Apricot Ale from Pyramid Brewery in Oregon. Goodbye to Hoegaarden as well. Now its Czechvar (or Budvar) and Stella Artois--in moderation of course. One real interesting positive effect of my meds is that for years I have been suffering with an arthritic right hip. I thought 36+ years of being an Ice hockey goalie was to blame. The pain would be so bad that I was only able to sleep on my left side. For the first time in 10+ years I can sleep on my right side without pain. Amazing. They say gout affects joints, and the hip is a very large joint. I still get fatigued, but then again I am over 50 so this is not a real surprise. Cool.

Yankee Dog--great advice thanks! Back to light Beer then, hmmm. Maybe more tequila? Blackcat: yep, I am now taking one Allopurinol pill (300mg) per day now that my last attack has abated. I do feel a lot better and now will try more wine than beer--but still in moderation. Thanks guys!

After just one week I feel terrific. This medicine I have been taken has done the trick. It's amazing what an accurate diagnosis can do for one's life. But...I...Still...want...beer!
