Yeah, I really should have thought of that, but I'd never been stung by friendly fire that badly, either.Originally posted by Zveroboy:Spread out even if it is a rear area!!
Forgot where I read this but IIRC there were 3 sets of distances to be used for panzers 50m, 100 and 150 m between each tank.

Alright, Patboy. Let me set the scene: I'm playing "Opening Moment" and haven't even gotten a chance to commit this Tiger platoon to battle(they're bunched together in a rear area). On the previous turn I observed a Stuka attack some Soviet positions and thought, "Yay! Air Support!" The next thing I know a Stuka has planted a bomb smack in the middle of the most powerful platoon I have, immobilizing or destroying most of it. Yay...air support.Originally posted by patboy:To share what ? The shadow looks like Focke Wulf 190 and not Stuka ? Or maybe a german plane strafing a german panzer ?
Collateral damage are an integral part of war !
Take it easy, Wittman is not dead in Russia, somewhere only in Normandy

I thought I'd share this with you all.

Thanks a lot!

I just have a question about the TacAI for these units: Will an AA gun engage an enemy aircraft that is outside of its assigned covered arc? For example, if an AA unit is covering to the north and an enemy aircraft approaches from the south, will it traverse and engage? Thanks, in advance.

I thought white signified infantry and grass green was for mechanized(armored)infantry.

I'm offended by "tommyrot" and "flapdoodle", and so are the Klingons.Originally posted by John D Salt:But what you're trying to make him understand isn't "basic", it's plain wrong. It's irrational tommyrot. It's malformed flapdoodle of the ugliest kind. And, as we're in that sort of mood today, it's deeply offensive to those of us who value the proper use of logic.
All the best,
John.

EDIT: Sorry. Double post here.

What? 'Brit', 'Aussie' and 'Canuck' are offensive now? When did this happen? I used to be in the military and worked with some Commonwealth forces. They called us 'Yanks' and we would call them one of the 3 terms above. No one was offended. I've never worked with Australian soldiers, but the Australians that I've met in civilian life have given me an impression of an easy-going people. I met a New Zealander once, and I guessed, wrongly, that he was Australian by his accent. After correcting me, he said, "S'roight. We're all mates."
Now, getting back to the topic of this thread, I'd like to command a Klingon starship. I mean, they can't be all bad if they quote Shakespeare in battle. Right?

Ohhhhh, you misspelled "semitic", Mr. Dorosh. I shall have to inform the Simon Wiesenthal Center at once!Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:...They may not have been card-carrying Party members (though a great many of them probably were), but they all grew up from 1933 onwards into an officially anti-semetic state...

They also lost the war, murdered their prisoners, committed apalling atrocities against civilians in China and thoughout parts of Asia and Oceania, and were required to kill themselves rather than surrender. Not to mention losing every single land battle after June 1942.Originally posted by Patrick Brazil:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Shmavis:

It sounds like a good read. I'll have to check that out.
This isn't exactly related, but I've been trying to find a copy of "Hell's Gate" by Douglas Nash and it now will cost $380.00(!) if I want to buy it from Amazon. Luckily, I was able to find it at a local site for about 50 pounds. That's what I get for not going with my instincts.

My God...60 years of post-atomic breeding. At least they got rid of the panty vending machines.

Except the SS, I think. Some people just can't play nicely with others.

Thanks!

I was just wondering if anyone had this scenario as it does not seem to be available at the Scenario Depot anymore. I'll be asking at the SD as well. It's based on an action during the winter of 1943 recapture of Kharkov. Any other suggested scenarios for that battle would be appreciated, too.

Yeah, and when you eliminate an enemy squad, they'll drop dollars! A nice treat for Russians and Germans.Originally posted by MikeyD:"Did you know that bullet wounds can be cured instantly with a first-aid kit?"
I'm hoping the CMx2 engine has health crystals hidden under waterfalls, myself.

Thanks! I'm sorry this response comes rather late.

Hmmmm. I suppose it could be a "hoax". I'm having trouble seeing what it was the author or book had to gain, except for sales due to reader interest, maybe. Could it have been an elaborate attempt to garner sympathy for Alsatians and other non-Germans who served in the Wehrmacht, and, if they weren't killed in combat, would probably not be able to return to their homes at the war's end? This brings out the conspiracy theorist in me. Question everything!Originally posted by Alkiviadis:There has been a lot of back & forth dispute over this book: hoax or real? I tend to believe hoax myself. Simply because I had my doubts which for me were confirmed reading a review in (Strategy & Tactics?) many years ago. The reviewer had a neighbor who was ex-Wehrmacht to whom the reviewer gave the book for comments. The ex-wehrmacht guy proceeded to rip it to pieces page by page, inaccuracies, lies, lack of knowledge re: German Army SOPs, etc. It's fiction, like "Wheels of Terror, or anything else by Sven Hassel.
