Going back through my records I only managed a "Draw" when I played this as the Limeys, and lost 56 tanks in the process. Ah well it's only a game as Jimmy Greaves used to say.

It's years since I played this, so I've forgotten what the briefing said. But, having read your post, I must have taken one look at the map and said "sod the briefing".
In the meantime, if anyone is interested our colonial convict pal Ithikial did put out a 21 episode video of this battle on youtube about six years ago.

Didn't the assault on communism end when some bloke wrote a pamphlet called "Left-wing Communism :- An infantile disorder" about 100 years ago? I hope that BFC aren't going to waste their time on a game with that title.

The original version of the Big Bundle only comprised of BN, CW and MG. It did not include the Vehicle Pack or the Battle Pack as it does now. So depending on how "previously" you bought it could explain the problem you are having. Either way the Help Desk should be able to sort things out for you.

I would suggest clicking on "Support" on the home page. And sending a message via the Help Desk. They should get you up and running fairly quickly.

Elizabeth looks at the screen,

It's one of my favourites from my younger days. It was taken in Brixton in 1982 when he was fronting his own band. And a pure fluke that he seems to be looking straight at me.

I guess in retrospect Mr Daltry and his motley crew should have that title.

@Lucky_Strike Personally I don't think the boy from Woking would actually consider himself the "Mod God". From talking to his long time drummer on a number of occasions I think that he left the ego tripping to others. So you should be pretty safe.

Haven't seen all of it so it must be a doco surely?
Nope, it is a documentary. And thankfully a very literate one too.

That is very weird that some people a different layout to others. I was hoping to see you change yours to "Cider Boy", and Lucky Strike change his to "Smoke 'em if you got 'em". Or, something along those lines.
Meanwhile it's back to the hedgerows for me.

Warts obviously doesn’t have a clue
Well I changed my title with no trouble. So not totally clueless. But without seeing what happens when you click on "Edit Profile" I can't really help any more.
-
I think you'll find that it is a documentary, not a "Doco". And a very fine one too.

The Allies did use Strategic Bombers occasionally in missions directed against frontline troops, such as the huge raid on Panzer Lehr's positions west of St Lo prior to Operation Cobra.
That raid was conducted against the German defenses in general. Panzer Lehr was just a remnant of it's June 6th self by that stage.

Never mind, we will just have to wait for one of the old codgers to grant us a status upgrade.
I didn't know there was such a thing as an "upgrade". The "Enable status updates" takes you from Junior to Senior. After that you can call yourself what you like.

It's beneath your name you silly old fool.

Ah, sorry it didn't work for you guys. I'm quite enjoying seeing "Dead Puritan" beneath my portrait.

No doubt it’s based on age. Am now feeling very inadequate and left out. Will have to post lots of pointless responses - yes, no, I agree, I beg to differ
- just to get my count up to earn some God-like status. Hmph ...
They way it should work if you follow Peter Panzer's tips is that when you click on Edit Profile, the first section is called Basic Info. One field will have you date of birth, the other field in your case should read Senior Member, which you can edit with something witty. Or, not as the case may be.

Same here, so although we show as senior (perhaps only by age) we are not senior enough

Inspired by the above. I decided to change my description, I was getting bored with "Senior Member". And I just followed the helpful hints given earlier in the thread.

You should be able to still get both Airborne and Glider Infantry mods on Bootie's site.

Yes, you will have to "Open Up" in order for someone to man the gun. The Limey M5 doesn't have a Gunner and it needs one of the passengers to do the firing.
The reason that you don't need to "Open Up" a Bren Carrier is that it has a firing slit, rather than a exposed gun mount.
