The way I learned the quote is something our Drill Sergeant made us memorize in Basic. “The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy and drive him before you. To see his cities reduced to ashes. To see his loved ones shrouded in tears. And to gather to your bosom his wives and daughters" Genghis Khan 1226

And after they decide on a name for the game.

All this stuff almost makes me teary eyed, but promises, promises, Battlefront needs to deliver! When will we see the CMSF Brits?!

That will be interesting and perhaps refreshing in the scenarios we'll get. Too many scenario designers in CMBB were German-centric.

And I suppose if he had talked about his war record the guy would have called him a braggart. Its hard to live up to every ones expectations.

This is where the potential Maus comes in I imagine. Okay guys what other late comers could they fit into a Maus module? The Soviets had the JSIII. There's the Centurian of course. What else?

Been there, done that. More Cowbell!

I think we need to get a hold of Andrew TF. His uniform mods were superb.

My Mods are free for your use,

No, Cowbells are now part of the Combat Mission Normandy legend now.

I've never seen the original skit. I should look it up on You-tube. Didn't it piss off Blue Oyster Cult?

So for there to be any realistic chance of having any significant forces in France in May 1940 the U.S. would have had to have undergone a prewar rearmament and mobilisation much as the British had done in the late 1930's.

Yes, thanks. That is very helpful. What I'm trying to do is a bit of wild speculation. What if the U.S. entered the war in 1939 along with Britain and France. What sort of forces could/would they commit to France by May 1940? Given what you've said and the strong forces that would still be against intervention, I would suppose no more then six infantry divisions and an armored brigade along with air forces probably in line with what the RAF commited to France. Any opinion?

I've looked for this online with no success. Can any one tell me or give a link to the size of the US Army in divisions and independent brigades at the start of WWII? Thanks in advance.

So you Battlefront guys aren't going to make us wait for a finished British Module until after Theatre of War 2 gets released now for marketing purposes are you?

I am Spartacus! Opps, sorry wrong movie. Has Cassio been around for a while then? Also why doesn't Rune rate a bio?

So who is this mysterious Cassio? This is the first time I can recall him/them being mentioned. Won't you introduce us?

You should find it under campaigns.

You're right, the Archer was not available until 1945 and should not be on the list.

US vehicles: M5 Stuart M5A1 Stuart M4 Sherman (early) M4 Sherman M4(105) Sherman M4A1 Sherman (early) M4A1 Sherman M4A1(76)W Sherman M4A3 Sherman M4A3(75)W Sherman M4A3(76)W Sherman M4A3(105) Sherman M7 Priest M7B1 Priest M8 HMC M10 M8 Greyhound M15 MGMC M20 Scout Car M2 Halftrack M3 Halftrack M3A1 Halftrack M3 Scout Car M4 Mortar Carrier M4A1 Mortar Carrier M16 MGMC M21 Mortar Carrier Truck Jeep Jeep MG

Here is my list. It is taken from a spreadsheet for CMAK of Commonwealth vehicles for June to August '44 with the Cromwell added to the top. Maybe someone can enlighten us if there was more than one Cromwell type available in that timeframe. Cromwell Valentine X Valentine XI Churchill I Churchill IV Churchill IV (NA 75) Churchill V Churchill VI Churchill VII Churchill VIII Churchill AVRE Stuart III Stuart IV Stuart V Sherman I (early) Sherman I Sherman II (early) Sherman II Sherman IIA Sherman IIC Firefly Sherman III (early) Sherman III (mid) Sherman III (late) Sherman V (early) Sherman V Sherman VC Firefly Wolverine Achilles Archer M7 Priest Sexton 75mm SP Autocar AEC II Armored Car AEC III Armored Car Stuart VI ATR Carrier Daimler Armored Car Daimler Armored Car (30mm) Humber III Armored Car Humber IV Armored Car Staghound I Staghound II Staghound III Humber III Light Scout Car Staghound Flak Stuart Recce Stuart Recce (late) Stuart Kangaroo Stuart Kangaroo (late) Universal Carrier Bren Carrier MMG Carrier M5 Halftrack M5A1 Halftrack Daimler "Dingo" Humber Scout Car White Scout Car Morris C9/B Jeep Jeep MG Truck

Quite a bit of course, let me get back to you.

Speaking of the WWII Commonwealth module for Normandy, I made a list of vehicles potentially available to the Commonwealth in June 44 and it far exceeeds that of the U.S forces. That could be one enormous module.

Nah, keep your expectations low. That way if it is something big you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Moon, what no new Brithish Forces screenshots for the weekend? You spoiled us the last two Fridays.
