Warts 'n' all

That looks brutal.

I've never seen anyone with a gun in a Dutch church. Although me and a couple of mates did make the mistake of walking into a church not far from Hell's Highway whilst there was a funeral going on back in 1993... Ooops!

Don't worry Holman, at 418 years old I don't think the army will take me back.

Exactly. And that is why I don't use it.

Just play in the dark, and hum Nat Cole's "Let there be love" as you slaughter the foe.

If I was a Belgian Catholic priest I'd be just a tad annoyed if the crew left the engine running during Mass. Of course, as a Puritan cavalry officer and general, I think, "Oh gosh. I could have done with the few of those, Rupert's boys would have found our God's wrath over whelming and the war would have been over in a flash".

Although you can toggle as described by Holman. The guys on the ground in the winter of '44/45 couldn't do it, so I don't either. Perhaps I'm a glutton for punishment.

I do have a fondness for people down that way. Just a shame I keep killing them in Normandy, with my useless tactics.

No, these guys aren't looking for beer. They're from "Somerzet where dee cider ahples grow". Would be nice if we could have a west country voice mod for when playing as the 43rd (Wessex) Divison

I vote English Civil War, but I would, wouldn't I? Cuz I won.

It says that they are crossing the Muehl, there is a Little Muehl and a Great Muehl. They are tributaries of the Donau/Danube not far from the Austrian border. So this picture might show one of those. Exits stage right, singing "Jeeps and Guns and Tanks" to the tune of "Trains and Boats and Planes" ------------------>

What a great shoot out. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Don't get too cheeky Mike, remember what happened to Charles Stewart. Haha

The last time I saw that movie it was on a Black and White telly.

Only if you are fighting in Hollywood.

So that's where the term "Cowboy builders" comes from.

These videos are certainly whetting the appetite.

Great choice of camera angles, great editing, and clear commentary. Perfect video.

I don't know how long after the original release I bought "Beyond Overlord" but, I don't remember seeing it here in Limeyland without the bonus disc. Sadly, it's been so long since I played it, and I don't even know if I still have my old score book, so I can't even tell you the name of any of the Dragoon battles. Hopefully someone can tell us.

The term bocage means a heavily wooden countryside. As opposed to a type of hedgerow, as it is used in the game. It is not exclusive to Normandy, e.g there is a Villers - Bocage in the Somme Departement. There were some battles from Operation Dragoon included on the bonus disc that came with the original game "Beyond Overlord", 17 or 18 years ago. My fading memory seems to tell me that the terrain was more akin to that now used in Fortress Italy.

Checking for balconies for should be second nature, same as checking the layout of windows, how many, and the position of doors etc.

Oh, I like the howling wind when the weather is rotten.

Revenge is sweet.

"Bugger Cinzano, I just want a pint of Mild and Bitter".

At least you are relaxed about it. I'm a grumpy old puritan.
