Warts 'n' all

I hate deducting points, especially when I do it to myself. But rules are rules. Whenever I see Combat's name the words "John Inman" spring to mind. The curse of being someone who enjoys word play.

Unfortunately this isn't a case of doors being barricaded. It is just a design glitch. That is why it doesn't show up in Battle for Normandy until the Market-Garden module.

@user1000 The building types being discussed including the one shown in a previous post, but also effecting some of the other buildings introduced with Market - Garden was ported over to Final Blitzkrieg for some strange reason only known to BFC. It had been discussed often enough for them to have done something about it but they chose not to. The only way to avoid having your troops shot up is to run some tests and make a note of which buildings have the door bug. If the buildings are standing alone, then your troops will enter by the side wall nearest the door. If the building is in a row of other buildings, then your troops will go all the way around the block to enter via the back door. The fact that this problem has been shown and commented on in yt videos in the past does make the mine boggle somewhat. Ho hum.

Another two points. well done. A picture I've never seen before is always welcome.

"Another two pints for you Noddle Head" says Elizabeth. "I know points mean prizes, and the only prize you want is more of my ale". "Thank you my dear."

No. 5. - A Belgian Brigade Bedford near Bruxelles/Brussel/Brussels (delete as applicable) ...

Having checked the website where "Citroen" was found. If I had scrolled down I would have seen that someone else had corrected the OP and pointed out that it is in fact a Simca 5 which was based on the Fiat Topolino. Falaise there is no cheating going on. I even docked myself points in my previous competition. And the rules are not "opaque", Mornington Crescent doesn't have any rules. It is made up as the chairman and the players go along.

The first mission is a toughy. There are a couple of different AI set-ups and that can make a difference. If you're lucky your arty will take out a lot of Germans.

No. 4. - A dead Warts, oops knocked out Cromwell in Villers-Bocage. ...

John Martin's Guinness Gold Cup - Current standings Warts 'n' all - 6 Points (despite trying to get two extra points in post No.3) Vacillator - 2 Points Wicky - 0 Points

Technically the rules state that all vehicles must belong to either 2nd British or 1st Canadian Army. But, given the fact that this has only recently changed hands it will be allowed. A fun caption always helps too.

No.3. - Wolverine, Jeep and Churchill AVRE on Sword Beach. ....

I think that they both got cancelled due to the going being too soft.

John, why did no one tell you? Perhaps they didn't know what the hell "know when" meant.

Paddy raise his eyes. "Feck off! The Field Marshall's family were from County Donegal, and I'm a Meathman, brits me arse."

No, it is from the earlier Operation Epsom, which took place further to the west.

Try going to your profile, and clicking on "My Attachments", there you can free up some space by deleting some of your older pictures.

I don't think that anyone has ever put together a "Goodwood" campaign. But, the stand alone scenario "Colossal Crack" is based on 11th Armoured Division's attack on Bourgebus Ridge. It is a brilliant piece of work that throws up interesting challenges whether you play it is the Allies or the Germans. Particularly as the different sides have different victory locations to take or hold. From what I can remember there is only one youtube video of this battle, and that is from the Allied side and was made by our colonial friend Ithikial almost exactly six years ago. If there is one from the German side then I've never seen it.

Sorry Mate. A nice photo, but it doesn't meet the competition rules.

No. 2. A Tyne - Tees Citroen "Staff Car" in Bayeux. ...

"And as Fletcher makes his way back to the pavilion Essex find themselves on 0 for 2. Not exactly the kind of start they wanted to their innings, to put it mildly. Wouldn't you agree, Johnners?"

Sorry Mate, I suspect that this photo was taken just a tad after May 1945.

(Motor - 1. Location - 1. = 2 points) Good start Noddle Head.
