Warts 'n' all

West of Grodno, near the villages of Mieckiwicze and Adamowicze, July 18th, 1944.
From @Mr.X's upcoming Tiger Trail!


Partisans draw first blood but get hunted down for their interference.

The storm gathers...





A quick glimpse at a fleeing enemy scout.  But...what's that on his back!?

Here is Kohlenklau's Horsa glider integrated into my "Operation Coup de Main" (the original name for Operation Deadstick) and with his icon enlarged and recoloured.

yes, I agree. It is already on the "to do list" and I will try my best

Perhaps add some black and white stripes.

The Scottish Corridor.

Mondrainville, June 27th 1944.
Enemy tank spotted!

Thank you, that's exactly the behaviour I observed in my own Hansel and Gretel game.

Sorry I was forgetting the fact that about 8 or 9 years ago i wrote something along the lines of "I agree with everything the Canadian Cat says".

When I tested "Hansel and Gretel" the other day it was the Scout team on the far left that successfully acquired the 2in Mortar and the spare ammo from the carrier they were in.
When I tried with the company HQ, and with standard infantry teams they acquired the mortars and ammo but don't appear to want to, or be able to use them. The ammo count changes in the UI, but none of my pixelLimeys are carrying the mortar, and the Target Smoke" command remains greyed out. 
Now casting my old noddle head back to when I actually played the campaign. I didn't actually take the mortars. I just had my Light Mortar Detachments grab the spare ammo for themselves.

I think that you are being generous. I'd call it sloppy design work, that should have been fixed before Final Blitzkrieg was released.

Right what I said

I think that the mission you are referring to is called "Hansel and Gretel", but remember in a branching campaign, you're mission 3 might not be the same as someone else's mission 3.
I had no trouble grabbing a mortar and it's ammo from one of the carriers. I couldn't find any vehicle from the Support Company carrying a PIAT, although the Bedford was carrying two spare rounds which I got without a snag.
In situations like this try and give us old uns some screenshots so we can work out exactly what is going wrong.

Aye, the driver can't be gunner too, so you have to mount someone up to use the on-board MG. It largely doesn't matter who  That said, like all APCs, be careful about putting them into direct fire roles: there are many things that can easily kill them. I'd generally use them to maintain suppression that's been achieved by other, less fragile units, from keyhole positions.
The 50mm mortar is an infantry weapon. You'll see it scattered through other formations that don't have Universal Carriers at all. To use the ones in the carrier, you need to mount up an infantry element, then use the Acquire command. Don't forget to take the ammo too  Then dismount them, and it'll be available for the infantry element to use.

Here's another picture of "The Man with the Big Cigar" in Mote Park, I think that the officer with the swagger stick is saying "There's nothing to worry about Prime Minister, I'm sure it can take the weight of your drinks cabinet".
 

I was asking because I always felt that their inclusion in "Montebourg" and some of the scenarios in Battle for Normandy marred it somewhat. And knowing that 17th SS didn't have any in June '44 I was hoping they wouldn't be included.
As for the next Ashes series,  I lost interest in cricket when they started giving the grounds stupid names e.g Emirates Old Trafford. Why can't they just be honest, The Absolutist Monarchy (where we murder slave labourers) Stadium. Or, would that be just a tad too honest?

It's normally "Jerry". But, as a geriatric punk it's my job to be awkward.

Is he Gerry on your side of the Channel? On our side he's called Jerry (all jokes apart!).

Nice one, Pebsie. Although some people with cloth ears did think that Freddie Mercury was Queen for some years. 
Meanwhile it's good to know that Lance Corporal Farris put Gerry in his place.

You're absolutely correct, I should have used LCpl. My apologies to Her Majesty's Army. 😔

Good screen shots, but the Limey army didn't have Pfc's.

How dare you mis identify my Scots as Brits...Now, if you have said, "I'm in process of learning how to use CW units", then all is forgiven 🙂
