  1. The higher you are the harder you fall. Is this true?
  2. The spoils of war In METT-TC C for civilians you just can't lose if you have them on your side.
  3. Play Gog Magog in Red Thunder It starts with T34/76 vs King Tigers it is not that one sided as one may think and that is the AI as the Soviets and I was still a noob player.
  4. Not really he will look for the opinion of others. I really know the difference between subjective reality and objective reality.
  5. The biggest morale booster for German tank crews was. We may lose our tank but not our lives. I saw a propaganda poster of a happy tanker and his Tiger tank. Hit 200 times but he goes home on furlough.
  6. What were the conditions of the Italian surrender? Mussolini was hanging upside down from a butcher's hook. Japan Soviet Union was still neutral at the time of the Potsdam declaration 26th July 1945 the time of the demand of the unconditional surrender of Japan.
  7. A human player plots LOFs more manually. I found let my TacAI fight the Computer's AI and it makes an enjoyable game. I never tested or manual plotting is more effective but on full contact I don't find the need to do so. Even on Hotseat we have some commonsense house rules in this regard.
  8. The Casablanca Conference demanded unconditional surrender of Germany. The conference was held in 1943. It was designed to keep the war going on the Eastern Front to prevent a peace treaty between Stalin and Hitler. Not surprised that Stalin pushed for a second front because both sides were equally suspicious.
  9. I think the Port of Antwerp was the objective of the Battle of the Bulge. The offensive was ordered by Hitler himself and at times the partnership between the British and the US let a lot to be desired. It lives on in Hollywood by mentioning where the British erred and the US helped them out. If Antwerp had been captured the last chance of a deep-water port would have gone. Yes, Von Rundstedt advised with the words make peace you fools. Hitler was the only chance to make a separate peace the demand of unconditional surrender was on the table as long as he was alive. Without him not that clear.
  10. How many parties now in the house of representatives? (2de Kamer).
  11. Long time since we left the old country. But that incidence made our blood boil. Hear lots of bad things about Mr Rutte hear he is doing something right. Saw all the funeral parlor limousines on the way to a town called Hilversum. 42 F16's a small price to pay.
  12. Gezamenlijke verklaring van Denemarken en Nederland over donatie F16 aan OekraïneIt ( Joint statement of the Netherlands and Denmark) It is in English. Declaration regarding the donation of F16s Gezamenlijke verklaring van Denemarken en Nederland over donatie F16 aan Oekraïne | Diplomatieke verklaring | Rijksoverheid.nl
  13. Basically there is no competition. Til some writes a code as good or better than CM we have just to put up with it. I play CM because of the soft factors and the WEGO mode of play. Also Iron is the ultimate with our house rules.
  14. Sniper was spotted. SU 76 on an anti sniper mission. I think they found his scarred boots.
  15. Instead of surrendering the 'losing AI should be able to withdraw from the area of operations. The threshold of a surrender should be way higher. Like two human players saying to each other I will break off the engagement better call it a day.
  16. The coaxial .50 was a dedicated aiming gun to assist the main gun.
  17. They are the vanguard and the task is to find the enemy. As usual the Soviets need to get inside hand grenade range. Probe for the least resistance.
  18. Saw a movie a while ago that Tom Hanks did the same in .45 ACP.
  19. I think unbuttoned gives you the same spotting as an infantry unit. But being in a vehicle makes you a prime target. It makes sense to park the vehicle under cover of a terrain feature before you bail out to scout on foot. In CW Linking Up and Breaking Out. The crew keep their binoculars. That is with the American Scout Car.
  20. I think to avoid surrendering too soon there maybe reinforcements which never show up.
  21. Up to the designer to set the tress hold @Combatintman could it explain it to you. He explained the finer points some time ago.
  22. I think in the game the secondary weapon clicks when the range is very short. Like hand grenades at two or three action squares.
  23. There is always the curious example why a Bren Gunner chooses his Webley Revolver .38 which is roughly equal to the .38 S&W not even a .38 special in the middle of a fire fight. I must add it was during an inside the forest engagement.
  24. Do Muhammed Ali proud. Roam with a Drone and strike like a Javelin.
