tar Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Apologies if this is already well-known, but I recently saw mention of an extensive site about WWII British artillery: WWII British Artillery I saw this on the Consimworld Gamers TCS board. It was cited in connection with a discussion about the use of smoke during WWII. British doctrine seemed to call for a fair amount of smoke coverage, although some posters seemed to feel that the use of smoke was often controlled at division level. Anyway, I thought the site might be interesting to CMBO players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Nigel Evans has put together a truly impressive site, which has just gotten better over the last couple of years.
