[Arty Spotters dont ride shotgun ?]

Cheers for clearing that bugbear up, incidentally backs up Eisenhowers premise that jeeps, dakotas n` landing craft won the war, (Groggy jeeps link)

[Arty Spotters dont ride shotgun ?]

I notice some artillery spotters in CMAK, namely German rocket + 75mm arty wont embark on any vehicles, and they walk so slow as to never get anywhere, are they carrying all their rockets in their pockets ?, (pocket rockets!).Anyway, its ruining all my plan. Get in the truck! or get off my battlefield.....

PS. how do use these gremlin things? :confused:

[Brutality in the Desert]

WAVELL`S 30,000

Western Desert December 1940/Febuary 1941

In a short and memorable campaign, the British defeated the Italians in Egypt, Lybia and Cyrenaica....As it was happening, it was transformed into a legend.

The campaign was unique of its kind, in that it was fought in a virtually empty but well-defined arena. It was pure theoretical war-game soldiering.....Nothing like it had happened before in modern history but it offered a classic example- unhappily not yet followed- of nations fighting a war without making it total. If ever limited war was shown to be practical, in modern terms and with modern weapons, it was

in the Western Desert. (John Connell, 1909-65)

It must be remembered that when they spoke of the North African Campaign as being a "nobler war" they refered to the amount of civillian/collateral damage, being less than had previously been witnessed in Europe for instance.Plus, the sun does funny things to ya brain.
