Warts 'n' all

It sounds more like Dutch English to me but harsher. Back in the late 70's I knew a white guy who'd been in the slammer with Nelson and the other boys in the band, I seem to remember his voice as quite nasal. In the meantime happy voice mod making.

Ah, I remember the start of the new financial year. Where I worked the computers would be down all day.

The Australians take the mickey out of how the NZers talk, and they're a hell of a lot closer than the South Africans.

Thanks for sharing this great series of pictures.

From my own readings the 17pdr was superior to the 76mm as far as the Germans were concerned. And who am I to argue?

As far as I know the Bullingdon Bull****ter purchases his BJs from someone other than Lizzie Saxe-Coburg und Gotha. Of course, I could be wrong. In the meantime any updates on the new RT module are welcome.

@DougPhresh That's fair enough. As my old dad used to say, "If you don't ask, you don't find out".

Bouncing the Rhine

In the meantime we should thank John the Kay for his interesting video.

I think we have two pubs in town where it is still under 3 quid.

Yes, I suddenly came over all nostalgic for the early '80s.

"to victory" means up to the end of the War

"Whitelaw whitewashes whiter" as we used to say.

Good advice, and great cartoons.

Yeah when I planned my ambush I had in mind how my panthers and FJs had arrived, either on or very close to the road. To suddenly find my troops surrounded was no fun. I'll know better if I give it another go.

Hahahahaha. Nice one, Declan.

I wonder if Mick Jones plays CM.

I don't mind him creating more ambushes for the US. But, if my troops are initially restricted to arriving by road then so should the AI be as far as I'm concerned.

One thing that annoyed me. The player's reinforcements arrive by and large in column. And when looking for a likely area for an enemy counter-attack I set my troops up in good ambush positions along the road. Only for the counterattack force to arrive all in one go spread out over a fairly large area pretty much surrounding my troops, with predictable results. I was not a happy bunny, and hit Cease Fire.

I wouldn't buy it, although I suspect that I would be in a minority.

Earl didn't I once see you in a tea cup?

The Forger's massive scenario/mini campaign is German. As things stand there are three CMFB campaigns for the USatians. In addition to the Aachen one that you mentioned there is also "Courage Conquers" which deals with the counter attack towards Bastogne. And "Fields of Tears" which can be seen as a follow on from CMBN's "In the Fields where the Poppies grow".

Nice link. I'd also point new comers to the top post in the list on the main page entitled "BATTLE DRILL".

So far, I'm finding them very useful in their indirect role. Buildings being brought down, or hit hard enough for there to be dead Amis inside when my blokes occupy them.

So far I am enjoying v.2, even the unpleasant surprises thrown up by a different AI plan.
