  1. They don't differentiate between LOS and LOF. For buildings they don't let you fire inside the building because you don't have an LOS inside the building which is obvious. Once you receive fire from a building and have full contact you can fire. In your picture there is an obstruction, which is where the blue line becomes the pink line which you don't show. Scenario MG Campaign Road to Nijmegen first Mission. Germans inside the building could fire at my units but my units couldn't plot an area fire prior the attack. Deployment was the wheatfield. I found a spot for the Browning MG which could. It depends on terrain the obstruction was the wheatfield once deployed the MG didn't have an LOS the wheatfield was the obstruction. Next time publish your firing position too. Now I gave mine subjective opinion.
  2. Was it Patton? "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan next month."
  3. They are still in the phase that the leader of the opposition is in the Woods with his Band of Merry Men.
  4. It was used for infiltration by a raiding party who opened the gates. Also repeated ad nauseum.
  5. The sling used by David against Goliath. He had little armor but had the range for a precision shot. He also could slay lions and bears with his weapon according to the book of Samuel. Sounds like a staff sling or a mini trebuchet. The tactical principle survives till today.
  6. I am puzzled why they don't take out legitimate Russian targets inside Russia. The reason most of the Israeli infrastructure is functioning because its enemies realize the consequences. My first target would be the propagandists in Moscow and their TV broadcasting. Go up like a puff of smoke in the middle of their vitriolic nationalist broadcast. Especially their golden calf.
  7. It says enough thinks you know everything from a politically correct European institution where ignorance rules. I have nothing further to say to you. Racism in disguise. This thread is about Ukraine stick to it.
  8. Somebody said a revolution by English gentlemen against German King George.
  9. This says it all ignorance at its best. We meet the same in Australia, land navigation was only improved with the invention of the GPS. Aboriginals used star maps marked out on the land they travelled through. Different developed cultures are not inferior, simply different. The bush pharmacy also survives till the present day. Civilization the ability to administer and build cities. The concept of chauvinism and racism. Farming communities are still seen as lesser than communities in cities. That is where the universities are. What politics originate there is politically correctness.
  10. Attempt to use the Browning MGs in the semi-indirect fire mode. Between the MG and area no LOS. I trust the trajectory of the rounds will have a this range a plunging effect. Make sure we have the C2 working the HQs with radios play a vital role. The US secret weapon was their excellent communications ahead of the USSR by at least ten years.
  11. BN MG Boys against men (play as Germans) and Bridge No7 play as Americans. They also have great campaigns Road to Nijmegen.
  12. Irish Stew minus the potatoes. Barley and oaths instead.
  13. The moral of the story most Russians were born in a tent. Make sense if their ancestors were nomads from the steppes.
  14. Somebody who didn't have any illusions about the gangsters just about to shoot him. Judging his age he was entitled to sit on his easy chair.
  15. Siberia? Not really belonging to Europe in their eyes. Kazakhstan moves closer to the west. I wonder why this is.
  16. Tyrannies, Theocracies feel threatened by democracies. The idea that a janitor has the same vote as the bishop, or the king must be truly frightening for kings and bishops.
  17. People don't know when to use it. With Rattled units it can be demonstrated that they don't reliably follow orders. My OK units on the 2nd floor go to the first floor. OK, Cautious, Nervous units do this ten times out of ten. I found Josey Wales tests to be correct. See Cautious and Nervous as warnings. Like Tiring when you move units during the next turn they will go quick instead of fast.
