  1. Hi chaps,

    I'm currently resting in Sri Lanka, waiting for another escort job to Suez.

    I've been reading 'Where The Iron Crosses Grow' which covers the war in the Crimea from 1941 to 1944... is anyone else read, or currently reading this excellent title?

    This theatre of operations would make an interesting expansion module to Red Thunder, especially the opening battles in 1941.

    Limited troops and equipment, ad hoc units thrown together, even LAH were involved in the early stages.

    The entry points into theatre were difficult to negotiate, with bottlenecks, marshes, limited manoeuvre capability, and wide open approach routes giving the defender excellent fields of fire.

    I'm thoroughly enjoying the book and recommend it to anyone who has not looked at this theatre of operations in detail before.

    It also has a brief history of the region that leads up to its state of readiness, (or lack thereof) just before the invasion.

    Any thoughts?

  2. Welcome to the grand opening of the New CMRT Theater!

     

    I thought it would be cool to start a thread similar to a screen shot thread dedicated to cinematic CM vids now that the forum has video imbed feature. I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent vid created by Macisle, and thought it would be a good idea to open the CM Theater thread as a collection point for those to show off their video editing / directing talent, and to make everyone's movies easily found and seen. Although I do not have any video editing programs personally I can enjoy watching what others have made. Artistic style using video editors, or unusual/ interesting things that happen in the game movies of any length will be the focus. Macisle's vid is a good example of what the Theater would like to show as opposed to AAR type vids with voice over commentary by the player. So, if you have a good CMRT vids, or know of any such as this one please post it for us to enjoy and find it easily, and to build our CM Theater collection. Please remember to give credit to the movie maker if you did not make it yourself.

     

     

     

    Get the pop corn popping, the beer head foaming, and enjoy the show!
