  1. "Then what happen..." Was the flag taken in battle-or in a card game. Or worse; bought with a carton of Lucky Strike Greens on the troopship back home. :confused: Old as the hills. (Good read by the way)
  2. Indeed. Somewhere he is playing a harp and telling his stories. Gawd I'd wished I'd seen that interview with Tom Brokaw. Brokaw looking all serious and earnest as Charles held forth with his stories (which one -the one where he fought hand to hand with one of Adolf's warrior bashing his blond head in with a rock while the German plunged a bayonet into his side?) Yes I remember that one with it's lurid details, blood curdling.... and that's when a glimmer of doubt.... ah well no one was hurt. Least of all the German Soldier. Into the beer cooler with you Mr. Brokaw.
  3. Hmm which Sherman. FireflY? Well we know their transmission won't grenade. Wish CM modeled mechanic reliability.
  4. So in the end- he was a veteran and a good actor. Devils always in the details and facts always ruin a good story. Durning-that's an Irish name. Ohh those people can tell a story. It's in their genes. Let's listen in.
  5. I remember asking my mother one time when I was real young who was President of the United States. She answered Eisenhower.
  6. Use the Stuart to pound the ********* but don't peek out too far. Spotters and mortars are key. Given the time constraints use patience and caution. Fools rush in on this map. +1 what Sublime said. I really don't want to ruin it for you. It was a fun map. I actually beat the AI the first time (Elite level)-but it was bloody and I'd already graduated through the CM: NORMANDY meat grinder so I knew these pixel Germans wouldn't be a pushover. As I recall the map has several AI plans. So Hans isn't always exactly at the same place. Welcome to sunny Italy. :^/ Wait when you go Elephant hunting with the Brits haw-haw-haw
  7. I had this exact problem only with an M1 Garand with a rifle grenade. Turned out I hadn't removed another brz folder in the Z Folder with this same weapon in its weapon silhouette mod. That file and JuJu conflicted and this lone MI kept showing up. You may want to look at your Z folder to see if you have the same conflict with another brz mod file. My Enfields show up fine.
  8. I played this scenario (Allied side) single player. I won't give anything away-but yeah- it was a real meat grinder. Great AAR's from both sides.
  9. Didn't search the string but did anyone suggest just a module with military/partisan units. No need for map. Love to make a battle with Italian or Yugoslav partisans with their mix of weapons.
  10. Take the scenario put it in the editor and increase the time by one hour. Can't have patience in recon if you don't have time.
  11. Really a great addition to FI. Quality work. Thanks!
  12. Pretty neat how they 'shimmy' the photos to give depth. I never saw these photos before. A few quite sad. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2357366/The-3D-Stereoscopic-images-World-War-One-Canadians-attic.html
  13. Fascinating. I know I saw picture of them in the US Army 'Green Books' years ago. Didn't think much of them. How wrong.
  14. Juju: That would be great. But if I spot anything else missing I won't mention it. Just concentrate on the BIG picture. Don't worry about the vignettes. Thanks though-much appreciate your extra effort. Top left slot-are you talking personal fire arms? That would be a full color Thompson Sub machine gun from your mod. It's there. It's not a good screen capture.
  15. Phil Stanbridge: I got Juju enfield to work in FI DEMO with the CW module. As I recall I got Juju's lee-enfield green.bmp and lee-enfield yellow.bmp for CM:BN and renamed both files respectively lee-enfield_n1_mkiii green.bmp and lee-enfield_n1_mkiii yellow.bmp. I'm doing this off the top of my head and mentally whipped (Ugh-just finished putting a politically incorrect Nazi flag in ACHTUNG PANZER:OPERATION STAR. Modding that game is a real struggle ). But as you can see in this screenshot below of the FI demo with the CW module-it does work. Should warn you some weapons aren't in Juju's pack (FG42?) but many are that you can use in FI. I don't own the full CW module.
  16. Yup -ain't that a little *itch. Mdr files aren't as 'flexible' anymore.
  17. Albeit dishonorably. Some of you probably know about this (I have for years). This is for the those who don't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oise-Aisne_American_Cemetery_Plot_E
  18. Just updated to CM:BN 2:0 and have been wanting to play this. This is a SUPERB piece of work. Just love everything about it. QUALITY! Dare I say it-it could be used as a teaching aid at a Military Academy. Thanks again for this great effort. Well crafted all the way through. Obvious labor of love. FWIW I didn't move any units and did a minimum amount of interference once the balloon went up. Curious how it would play out as is- Played as Brit against the AI-but got a tactical defeat. Losses were always keenly felt-especially when Shermans were hitting their targets initially but they might as well have shot BB's. But-Virtual Wittman died in the same manner near the same place as in real life. 3 AI plans-eh What?! will have a go at those cats again.
