Honourable Mr. Kettler,
As a loooong time lurker and very new poster I am honoured to receive recognition from such a hallowed member of these fine forums! I do consider myself an accompished lurker (until I play an actual breathing body), I believe your analysis is correct. What matters is what the spotters LOS is (the actual blue line) at the moment the spotting round lands regardless if said spotting round lands in Des Moines, much to the chagrin of the good folks of Iowa...
Respectfully,

Thus, the reason for my initial question. If there is ANY obscuration during the countdown to the spotting round, your FFE rounds may end up in Des Moines. Harmless to your opponent but quite a nuisance to the good people of Iowa...

Can't tell from the picture, but was smoke obscuring the target zone?

Hope I'm not too late to join the fun...joined the other forum and explained my qualifications (or lack thereof). If I get in, when does it start?

I would also like to plug Tiger Valley. I am currently knee deep in a fantastic PBEM. Against a live body is the only way to play this one. Lots of fun!

Oh well, this new CMer seemed to have fallen off the the edge of the earth...I was enjoying the game, too bad.

Tim,
You still out there??? Haven't seen a turn in a while.

Tim,
One of those fits of work (blah!) start tonight so I won't be able to get back to you until until late Thursday, so no rush!

Tim,
Welcome to the game. I think you will find that the depth that CMBB & CMAK present is truly amazing.
I would be glad to play a PBEM with you. I have been playing the game for awhile, but have very limited experience against humans. Pick a scenario and send it to me. I do not care as to which side or timeframe. Your choice. If you have any questions on setup, send me an e-mail and I can probably walk you through it. I can play several turns a week but it will come in fits as work keeps me from the computer for a few days at a time. Hope to hear from you.

This book might interest you. The Battle for Rome : The Germans, the Allies, the Partisans, and the Pope, September 1943-June 1944 by Robert Katz.
I just finished it and found it interesting. Detailed accounts of the German occupation and retaliations, partisan actions, OSS involvment, and the actions of the Pope (or lack thereof). If you are looking for a detailed account of the fight between the German occupiers and Roman Partisans you will be pleased. If you are looking for detailed accounts for the Allied battles and race for Rome look elsewhere. It is available for 10 bucks at amazon.
