Excellent! These may be the best looking maps I've seen in the whole CM series. Beautiful great work men!

Agreed. It wasn't meant to go head up against other tanks. It was a very maneuverable infantry support tank that could use its speed to change firing positions to not expose its thin armor. It was not in the class of medium tanks such as the Panther, it wasn't built to shoot it out with heavily armored tanks.

Agreed the Battleground Europe series is excellent. I have the MG series time to start reading!

Doesn't TOW have something like this?

I like it!

Fionn good to see you here! I still have my CMBO cd and Panther poster. I enjoyed your tactics articles in the forum and it helped me learn to play CM. Thanks and glad to see your lifes going well.

It gives you an amazing amount of respect for all those men. Look at those wide expanses of beach and how these soldiers had to wade in and be human targets for hundreds of yards. God bless all the soldiers of all sides who fought in this battle. Its incredible that operation was successful given incredible odds here.

Thanks CeltiCid these are best AARs I've seen yet. Keep em coming! Joe

I have Sherman,Pershing and Abrams. All excellent books. I bought them many years ago and they were expensive then! Great pictures in all these books. Joe

Without HVAP I don't think the 76 is going to penetrate the Panther front too often at this range. I'd say 16/20 to the Panther.

Pat, JJ Fed. has some excellent books. Not cheap but you won't find alot of these elsewhere. I've already pre-ordered Das Reich. Good source for unit histories. Joe

The only real success I've had with FTs are on OT vehicles. Unless you can ambush a tank, its unlikely the FT will last even one turn. I've actually ignited a fire on an AFV and still it took me out! Fun to use but I'd rather inf. assault an AFV. Joe

That is the worst p.o.s. I've ever seen! I've never seen 2 AFVs dance before. I'll never complain about a little inaccuracy in CM again! Joe

The Hunnicutt book is excellent with many pictures not published elsewhere. I got this book more than 20yrs ago and it was expensive then. Great reference if you can find it and want to pay a high price. Joe
