  1. It became an Allied symbol for the invasion, guess it was for making recognition much easier, specially from the air.

    Kinda like all fighters and fighter/bomber had the D-day black/white stripe on them.

    I have probably seen lots of photos of them but never paid any attention to it. Now checked the Churchills and Cromwells in the scenario editor and was a bit surprised to see them.

  2. I have only a passing knowledge of WWII history, and I was wondering what on earth would be included in the 'Market Garden' module that isn't already in CMBN once the CW module is released?

    As far as I can recall Market Garden forces included:

    Polish paratroopers (CW module?),

    British paratroopers (CW),

    XXX Corps (Base + CW),

    US infantry & engineers (Base),

    Waffen SS (CW),

    Hitler Youth (??),

    Regular German units (CW),

    Artillery assets for both sides (Base +CW)

    Am I missing something? Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the operation could enlighten me?

    Or perhaps the next module will just include new missions and campaigns?

    At least German paratroops will be in the Market Garden. Lufwaffe units in CW are only field division units

  3. Found quite interesting line in the manual:

    "British.... managed to keep their tank units based around one specific type and variant... Players are restricted from mixing tanks of different types within a single formation in the game".

    Does this mean that in the QB's I can't buy an infantry company and attach for example a Firefly, couple of Churchills and a Cromwell into that unit? If I want fireflys into the game they are only type of tank which I can buy into that particular battle?

    If that's the case it sounds quite restrictive but if it is historically how it, then be it so.

    Or does it just mean that when I buy a whole platoon (or bigger unit) of tanks all of them has to be same type?

  4. Hmm, no info on any new or changed features to the game. Not looking good for the inclusion of the armored arc command.

    I think it has been stated several times that the UI is not going to be changed and therefore no armored arc. Prolly wont be until Bulge if even there. I have managed to play very well without it so far and even it would be a good improvement, it's no biggie if it's not here
