@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.

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.

I think Pike will be getting that job.

Warts 'n' all, That said, I know precious little about CW helmets.
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.

Nice shot.

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

Right. This is the "run towards the enemy" bug. Here a two threads mentioning it but there are other places it's been noted too; Irrational Behaviour and Annoying withdrawal towards the enemy behaviour. As I best recollect, it was fixed in all the titles except CMBN and has something to do with the TacAI in bocage terrain.
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.

Yes, that is the most common way for nasty surrender surprises. But as you can see, this guy actually un-surrenders as the squad is approaching him - and starts firing with his MG!
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

I really want one of those shirt-coats. Looks comfy and warm. Not to mention stylish.
Yeah, they help cut down on the heating bills in winter.

Hahaha Yes dont worry sometime my jokes are a little difficult to be understood, some of them are probably be writing with an Enigma machine !
Or perhaps I writing them when I drink a Duvel or a Leffe...
I sometimes like to round a Sunday evening off with a Duvel, although my night cap of choice is Westmalle Dubbel.

Yeah, that's what Maradona said too. Stomps off fuming, then suddenly remembers that my alta ego didn't approve of football.

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