  1. According to my records that is the one entitled "Last Defence". I don't remember fighting it at all, but somehow I managed a "Tactical Victory" despite losing 5 tanks.
  2. Don't worry, the men in white coats are on the way.
  3. Yes, it has been a long time. I thought that it was a defensive mission.
  4. On a more lighthearted note. CMRT_MSB ... Monte Seelow or Bust CMRT_BBBA ... Bury my Balalaika on Berlin Alexanderplatz
  5. We have been asked to refrain from politics a number of times on this forum. Your use of the "b"- word crosses that line in my opinion. And just for the record, Stalin had killed most of the "Bolshies" before Mad Addy invaded.
  6. No, it isn't. Ask the Greeks, New Zealanders, etc etc
  7. "Bugger Brexit" as Georg von Saxe - Coburg und Gotha once said. Oops, sorry that was Bognor, allegedly.
  8. I remember watching a whole series of videos made using v.2 where the maker repeatedly gave his troops movements that would cross restricted terrain, and or, he would he would trace the movement path through the side wall of the building. No matter how many times it was brought to his attention what he had done, it was always the game's fault, never his.
  9. CMRTMABBQ = Combat Mission Red Thunder Mad Addy's BBQ
  10. @0:19.. Looks like an Irish Telephone Box... Probably other countries had green ones as well.
  11. My biggest problem in the final mission of that campaign was a lack of doors. But, that is another topic all together.
  12. When I play as the Germans and things go wrong I always howl, "Unter den Bloody Linden". Would make an apt title.
  13. I can't help but think that the Upstart Crow might consider Fire and Rubble a rip off of his "Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble". Of course, being a puritan these things are a little bit outside of my normal every day life, or so Elizabeth tells me.
  14. From my experience the AI needs overwhelming numbers to stage a winning attack. And, it is possible to fight a defensive battle without giving your troops any orders at all. But sometimes a scenario designer will get an AI attack spot on in terms of attacking force make up and arty support. I won't spoil your fun or your pain by giving examples, you'll have to find out for yourselves.
  15. Mad Addy's Breakdown. Although to be honest whatever it is called, I'll still be using "Stalin wasn't stallin'" as my load screen music.
  16. "One can never be too humane" As Andrew Broughton says to me every time I walk past the plaque set upon the wall of his old house.
  17. I suppose we all arrange our folders slightly differently. In my case I only have one "z" folder and given that "doodads" comes after "Aris" alphabetically it loads without a hitch.
  18. Don't worry about the spelling, you only missed one letter out (Dreijenseweg). I took a look just now and the mod is working perfectly for me, stinging nettles all over the place. Where did you install the folder?
  19. I've always wanted stinging nettles in the game. "Uncle Arthur, I can't go in there it's full of nettles." "What did he say, Wilson?" "Mavis, I mean Mrs Pike, won't let Frank go anywhere near stinging nettles, they bring him out in a rather nasty rash you see." "Stupid boy".
