  1. What is British slang? Now try answering that and keeping it CM related.
  2. Sorry, I was trying to confine my answer to vehicles that currently appear in the game. Exits stage right, quart of Elizabeth's (tax exempt) Whitehall Extra Stout in hand --------->
  3. I was just suggesting why he would have had a tank named after him.
  4. This is a game forum, so let's keep it both simple and relevant. The answer can be found in tank names. Cromwell - Great war leader, useless as Lord Protector, and loathed by his own comrades such as the Diggers and the Levellers. Churchill - Great war leader, the worst occupant of No. 11 ever, and as a floor crosser loathed by many in both the Liberal, and Conservative parties. We don't have a tank called the .... Atlee - Christian cadet corps leader, coalition builder, defeater of Halifax's attempts to bring down Churchill in 1940, and as Lord Privy Seal and de facto Leader of the House of Commons he "ran" the country, leaving Churchill free to run the M.O.D. and boost the morale of the people.
  5. I think that you'll find that it was Atlee who ran Limeyland during WW2, and it was Eleanor who ran USAtia. Meanwhile, Elizabeth says I can't even run a whelk stall down the Mile End Road
  6. Perhaps one of the scenario designers might see this thread, and pick up the gauntlet.
  7. You might want to reread that page. It doesn't include the phrase "commonwealth campaign". It says that the Commonwealth side are represented in "stunning detail". Sadly, in regards to "Husky," that is confined to stand alone battles, and the Fallschirmjager campaign where you are playing against the British.
  8. The wall thing can be a bit of a pain in the 'arris. I think that it happens because walls, fences, etc are placed running down the middle of an AS, or diagonally across them. Whereas movement paths go from AS to AS. Perhaps someone with map editing skills can offer a fuller explanation in due course. As for Stuarts, in my book the only good Stuart, is a dead Stuart.
  9. Looks like a Dog Training Course.... "Walkieeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss". (You have to be a Limey to get that one)
  10. I always thought that they rioted in Trumpton, rather than crashed.
  11. Despite my reputation as being just a tad puritanical, I can't help but think that the ** should be in the H-word, rather than the one beginning with f.
  12. With The Bullingdon Buffoon in power perhaps you might want to reconsider your involvement with our government. I'd hate to see heads roll.
  13. Lucky for him he never got to Antwerp. He'd have had my Granddad Paddy to deal with, and would have died under a hail of empty John Martin's Gunness bottles.
  14. That is very true. We have a lot of Ghurkas in my home town and very few of them are taller than me, and I'm only 5ft8. Although what they lack in inches they make up for in politeness.
  15. Don't seem to have much to do with CMBN, perhaps better suited to General Discussion, whoever he was, probably a Royalist.
  16. I certainly miss the old style "Operations", and would welcome a return. I think that your 4 or 5 missions idea is great.
  17. There are two scenarios that were created some time ago, which were available on greenasjade. Hopefully once Bootie has sorted every thing out with his new mods site they will be on there. One of the scenarios is set on 6th June, the other on the 9th. The designer had to use PzII Lynx tanks to replicate the Hotchkiss that appeared in CMx1. But, both battles are a lot of fun in my opinion.
  18. I'd rather have Phil Harding do the voices for the 43rd Wessex Division than BFC fork out for Ian Mc. He'd be cheaper too. Only problem is none of our USAtian friends would understand a word he says.
  19. I know Churchill used to fancy himself as a "Bricky". Perhaps he developed a slow drying pug for the military, and your bullets are getting stuck in that
  20. Plenty of threads dealing with this problem already. In fact I think you started one in June.
