Yes, I have watched the footage of his tandem jump on the BBC a couple of times. An old girlfriend of mine emigrated to The Netherlands in the 1980's. During the 1990's she ran a restaurant in a village just off of "Hell's Highway", every September she would have veterans in there.

I really want CMWVS.... Whingers vs Satisfied.. In it I will be able to deploy my Witchfinder squads to horribly torture the moaners. Just joking.

Just spent my Sunday lunch watching the brilliant "Market Garden 60 years on" produced by TV Gelderland.

I've heard of the Bois de Lebisey, it's near Caen. But I don't know where Fanbois is.

That is not a good two minutes for my force.
Which begs the question, what advantage did you gain from fighting in Telegraphpoleland as opposed to fighting in Italy?

When one person says something to another person, then they in turn say something to another, and so on. By the last person, the result is a tangle of the original.
A fun game, but ultimately meaningless.
I've never heard it called "telephone" before. We used to call it "Chinese Whispers". Heads off to brekky humming "Limehouse Blues".

I don't often stick up for the B's. But, I had a Martin Niemoller moment.

Geez there's a lot of whingeing on this forum - perhaps due to a preponderance of Brits among the heavy posters.
Just a tad racist.

Good things come to those who wait.

Getting your men to throw grenades can be a bit tricky. In case of hedgerows and walls, I tend to use area fire i.e. a grey line target.

Perhaps he is hinting that he would like an early war CM set in Pole-land. Well, someone had to say it.

strange - seems really hard to pin point whats going on....
Don't worry, Marvin Gaye had the same problem back in '71.
In the meantime hedgerow gap charging is being looked at by BFC

Yes, it is. And a lot of us face the same problems, so don't think that it is happening to you because you are new. Hopefully, there will be a fix before too long. BFC are aware of the specific problem and trying to get it sorted out.

I think that what we all want to see in CMx3 is the phrase "Total Victory".

Going back to the OP. With regards to some units being able to spot, whilst others nearby not being able to, that can depend on many factors. For a start, what kind of units are you talking about? For example, a HQ with a pair of binoculars or even two pairs in some cases, will have more chance of spotting than a fire team with none. Likewise a full squad will have far more pairs of eyes spotting, than a split off fire team. Without specifying what kind of "units" you are talking about you are making it very difficult for us to judge the situation.

I wouldn't worry too much about a 100% set of "Indian" accents from across the sub-continent, just go with the flow. After all, that is what we all do with the mish-mash of "British" voices when playing with the various regional divisions, and regiments.

US halftracks are horribly vulnerable, and not good as a fighting position. They're fine if you can guarantee fire superiority, but that inherently limits the situations where this can be used.
That is true. And that is why it is so much fun to see them blazing away with both guns shielded by the hedge.

A really interesting series of shots. Thanks!

The running around blindly behaviour should have been cured with the most recent patches on all titles, except the "bocage gap charging" in Battle for Normandy.
I haven't played "A Nasty Surprise" but hopefully someone who has might be able to offer some advice.
