    I guess nobody wanted any Italian action on the ost front

    I think I tried an earlier production and it was great fun, the one where a truck and AT gun only just made an escape before the main action?  So I'm keen for more, I'm sure others in the gang of six are too.  Or I could try another H2H with the maestro.

    I dont think it's 'nobody wants it' (ooh err) it just needs to be thrust out there (ooh err part2).  Hopefully the regal @Warts 'n' all is reading this thread 😉.

    EDIT: And I love 'What fries my onions'.  If you could add a few bits of my Habaneros and stick it on a pizza...

    EDIT2:  I was about to comment on bending over in the showers for a bar of soap, but oh well better stop there 😬.

    First let me say for the record I hope he's ok and back involved in the forum soon too.

    LOL that reminds me of a funny story. When I applied for my very first job - volunteering in a hospital - I made mention in my resume that I did modelling. I do not remember how I phrased it but clearly I did a poor job of wording it. I had a lot of scale models for war gaming - that's what I meant. I could tell the interviewers were confused about something on my resume about half way through the interview. The finally asked what I had done modelling for and I clarified I meant scale modelling. 14 year old me never even considered there was such a thing as posing for photos for money - WTF that makes no sense. The interviewers clearly correctly deduced that no one would pay me for that and could not understand what I was talking about on my resume.

    Embarrassing at the time. Makes me laugh quietly to my self now.

    Love it Ian.  That's why I qualified my statement - in case anyone thought Andy and I were making a living on the catwalks or in the studios.  I for one am certainly not.

    I am currently playing 507th Makes a Good Drop.

    Say no more, I believe I know who your opponent is.  If I'm right, he and I are currently at Baranovichi on the Ost Front, where I think things are going reasonably well for my German stragglers and panzers.

    So, 507th Makes a Good Drop is an 'optimal drop' version of Boots on the Ground?  And presumably drawn up with H2H in mind?  As mentioned another good friend and I are playing this one, with me as the Germans, in the full knowledge of both of us that you said play as US only.  I've actually enjoyed moving stuff around so far but we're half an hour plus in and have not seen each other yet.  Apparently reinforcements have arrived on the other side so I'm sure it'll kick off any minute.  It's still pretty dark as well.  Now, let's see, have I said anything I shouldn't have?  No, don't think so...

    How dare you sir?  Or are you also 'taking the piss'?  Which is not the same as 'taking a piss'.

    Sidenote 1: it's nice that we can piss on this forum without big brother's censorship.

    Sidenote 2: It's not matter of multiple names - we are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.  England is but a part.

    While Germany could be faster with armaments, German money is still important tbf. EU money is very important for keeping Ukraine afloat, and for just generally ensuring Ukraine can fight on. One easy way for NATO members to sort of avoid "escalation" is simply have everything go to Eastern European states like Poland, Baltics, who basically enjoy telling Russia to go to hell and have them pass on the equipment to Ukraine. Pretty sure this is ongoing rn. 

    Totally agree.  As a sadly ex-EU member 🙄.

    On a similar note I've always felt sorry for the guys heading towards surrounded Stalingrad, only to have to stop short with no attempt at a breakout (for obvious reasons no doubt).  But some might say I'm feeling sorry for the wrong side...

    Anyway thanks again for the reminder of a campaign I downloaded but did not immediately get to try 👍.

    One possible solution would be to restrict the picking up of enemy small arms to when units/pixeltruppen's own organic weapon is extremely low or out of ammunition

    I think the suggestion was that if the enemy had the same ammo that you need, you should be able to pick it up?  However, as you can't even share with your own side except within a unit's command structure I wouldn't expect to be able to use the enemy's ammo.  Even though in reality it might happen.  Right or wrong, not my call 😀.
