Warts 'n' all

Perhaps he is referring to the white and red stripes which were a throw back to WW1, and used in North Africa and Italy.

Pip Roberts stands up in his scout car, and says, "I think you'll find that it is an Allied star, old chap".

Of course, not being able to bring your gun to bear will also reduce ammo usage. The 400 year old says, in a desperate attempt to move this thread back on topic, whilst we wait for the OP to provide a save game.

Elizabeth serves Noddle Head a quart of Whitehall Blindman's Stout. Then mutters "You should have gone to Ye Olde Spectacle Shoppe". It is the set on the following day. Thanks.

I'm somewhat puzzled by the time of this mission. It starts at 8:05. Which is five minutes before the previous mission which you fight with the same troops. Is anyone else playing the campaign and noticing the same error?

Oh, I remember playing this many years ago. Just because it is "infantry heavy", that doesn't mean the German have no AFVs at all. And as Prunella Scales once said, "You can never have too many bazookas, Jane".

I've never seen anything that bad before. Perhaps you might put in a help desk ticket.

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha. For those times when LOL just doesn't cut it.

Yeah, and I still have the spike sticking out of me bonce to prove it.

They most certainly are. Give me a quart of Elizabeth's "Whitehall Brain Buster Ale" any day.

You seem to be forgetting that LOS does not equal LOF. Judging by your screenshots, your unbuttoned commanders can see the Shermans. But, their eyes are obviously somewhat higher than the gunner's sights, and therefore it is quite possible that you have no LOF. In a situation like this, it might have paid you to give your armour Target Arcs and slow movement commands up to the hedgerow across the road, rather than having two rows of hedges in front of you. Of course, whether this would have helped can only be tested if you provide save files to your fellow forumites.

I don't look at threads once they've been locked. And I'd forgotten the reason given at the time. I still think it would be a good idea to stick it in the Scenario Depot, not all FGMers are formuites, and vice versa.

I'm wondering why Mr.X, (possibly) formerly known as Twitter, hasn't put this on FGM's Scenario Depot.

I'll probably be working my way through "Downfall" for many months. But, I'll certainly give this a go sometime. Thanks for your effort.

Nice work, thanks.

Welcome back. Your site certainly looks worth checking out.

And here we have Pip Roberts in his scout car showing off his nice bright white star.

If your fighting a stand alone battle there is nothing to lose by using them as infantrymen. But, if you are fighting a campaign, then you might want to keep them safe for future missions.

You're right @Myles Keogh did mention two campaigns in his original post. I'll confine myself to "Claymores Through Kleve" until I lose it. Exits stage right doing a Tiny Tim impersonation "Tiptoe through the minefields with me". --------------------------->

That is the campaign that I was talking about. And you're right, francophone names are a bit thin on the ground. They seem to be confined to just the senior officers. But, I'm still enjoying it, win, lose, or draw.

(Not much of a) Spoiler Alert You actually kick off the campaign with French Canadian troops. They probably don't take too kindly to being referred to as "Jocks". Oh, well, c'est la vie, as Chuck Berry once said.

Elizabeth lifts her eyes from her Whitehall Gazette, chuckles and says, "He got you there Noddle Head". Thanks for the correction. I'm blaming the fact that getting stuck in a minefield plays havoc with my typing.

My thoughts were pretty much along the same line. I shall have to contend myself with getting my Limey arse kicked in the Reichswald. I've already put together a new music mod "Jocks in the Wald".

I feel an Ian Richardson moment coming on.
