I think it was one of the better-looking tanks in WW2

It was used for infiltration by a raiding party who opened the gates. Also repeated ad nauseum.

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.

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.

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.

Somebody said a revolution by English gentlemen against German King George.

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.

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.

BN MG Boys against men (play as Germans) and Bridge No7 play as Americans. They also have great campaigns Road to Nijmegen.

Irish Stew minus the potatoes. Barley and oaths instead.

The moral of the story most Russians were born in a tent. Make sense if their ancestors were nomads from the steppes.

Some good background information.

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.

Siberia? Not really belonging to Europe in their eyes. Kazakhstan moves closer to the west. I wonder why this is.

A preemptive strike.

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.

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.

They lost something like the US lost during Battle of the Bulge. Eastern Ukraine is a meatgrinder for both sides, for the Russians the present attrition may be acceptable. This is hard for us to comprehend.

His unit was 'Rattled' and the behaviour of the unit was explained by Josey Wales some time ago. Rattled units will go for cover and will probably refuse orders to leave their cover.

If Russia lost 150000 and Ukraine lost 75000. They are not casualties Ukraine can afford. This war is a tragedy these guys should compete against each other in the Olympics not on a muddy cold battlefield. I am not holding my breath that putin will ever be tried as a war criminal.

Direct or Area Fire? Tip, have a second look. Direct fire he will duck in his foxhole and will pop up again. Once you suppress him keep on the pressure with area fire till an assault party takes him out. The important thing is you have usually two choices. For area fire I use target briefly (4X 15sec) for as long as it takes. If you forget about the team, he won't run out of ammo.

Exactly and there is a presumption of innocence till proven guilty. Who is taking the members of the security council to the Hague?

Exactly if you go all the time for reduction your own units will be reduced too by an unsuppressed enemy.
