Warts 'n' all

As I mentioned previously, one of my PzIV did that of it's own accord also on Turn 2. Which would suggest the freezing air temperature does not turn all muddy ground rock hard automatically, which makes sense to me.

Bloody Nora, the modern architects have done more damage to down town Bastogne than the Germans did.

Always good to see the word "vignettes", it is so mellifluous.

@John Kettler "Private Pike" was in a Limey TV series called "Dad's Army" about the Home Guard. He was a mummy's boy, forced to wear a big scarf, in case he caught a cold, and was known by his Platoon Captain as "Stupid Boy".

I still can't believe we allowed you Saxons into the country. We need to put some hydraulic rams in to the River Lea and shove you fashion victims back across the German Ocean.

"Keep smiling, they'll go away soon."

I got hit by the bridge bug early doors, PzIV did a sharp right over the parapet and got stuck. So I tried again, gave all my vehicles either "Quick" or "Fast" commands and had no problems. Ten minutes in, only one casualty. Lots of white flags, dead Ami's, and the aforementioned truck is burning nicely. Farhen Zie sur Maas!

I think Pike will be getting that job.

Glad you enjoyed that one, Sarge.

No prob John. But you are the guy we normally rely on for detailed information. I'd have thought that you could not only tell us what material the Limey helmet covers were made from, the factory they were made in, but even how many holes there was in the netting that they stuck the twigs and leaves into to. As for this particular photo, I'm plumping for Spear and Jackson to have made the pickaxes.

That big cat had very sharp claws.

Looks like you've put a lot of effort into this. I look forward to losing it soon.

I ended up uninstalling engine 4, and going back to playing the game on 3. It's shame, but there you go, accidents will happen as some Limey singer once said.

"the British have bare helmets"... Titter ye not, as Frankie Howerd would say. Joking aside, given that this was filmed back in Blighty they wouldn't need any kind of cover, or camo for their helmets.

@benpark beat me to it. This what I think of as a railway embankment, and this one is in what we gamers call CMBN-MG country.

Nice shot.

I would give this a "like" but I have exceeded my limit.

That is spot on. Sadly, I haven't heard anything new about the possibility of a hedgerow fix since July.

E-boats based in Cherbourg did try to attack the invasion fleet on the morning of 6th June, but without success thankfully. This was due to the sheer weight of numbers facing them. Earlier in the year at Slapton Sands they caused havoc during a training exercise.

That was just plain unsporting.

I hate it when one guy surrenders whilst his mates hide out of view, and then start firing. It's is enough to make one forget one's manners and to shout "dash, blast, and fiddlesticks" loudly at the electronic typewriting/calculating machine thingy upon my bureau. And then commit a war crime.

Going back to the Designers notes.... "The what if scenarios (plural) are included in the Arnhem module ..." Jaws then talked about producing two scenarios based on the actual battles in the future. Perhaps he never did

Yeah, they help cut down on the heating bills in winter.

I sometimes like to round a Sunday evening off with a Duvel, although my night cap of choice is Westmalle Dubbel.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahaahhahhahaha....
