They probably have lots at the Army War Collage in Carlile(sp?) Pennsylvania also. I live in New Orleans where Stephen Ambrose tought at UNO. He's heading the effort to build the National D-Day museum here in New Orleans. I'm hoping that this will become a good source for this type of information. The museum will open June 6, 2000.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You might try the West Point Campaign Atlas to the Second World War (U.S. Government Printing Office), which has dozens of maps. There's even one of St. Lo and surrounds. No scale listed, but it's about three miles to the inch and is color coded at 50 meter intervals. Regards, John Kettler P.S. For whoever was working the Battle of Villers Bocage the After the Battle magazine publishers have an incredibly detailed account under that name or close. Saw it only briefly but it had a diagram showing where each antitank gun was located. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Soldaat Posted February 6, 2000 Share Posted February 6, 2000 Hi there, I read that you were looking for some maps of Europe. It is correct that you can get very detailed maps of any place in Europe. For the battlefields of Normandy you can use Serie Bleue 1:25.000 You can buy them at IGN Espace I.G.N. 107, rue La Boetie 75008 PARIS Succes. Pieter Soldaat. I can get adresses of the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kettle Black Posted February 7, 2000 Share Posted February 7, 2000 Fionn, Re you wanting to set up a discussion area/chat asf. You can create a private forum at Delphi which allows you to only let certain people in. We used this feature for beta-testing RB2 (maybe not the greatest end result but that was not Delphis fault ). There is also a chat function which allows you to initiate a chat with everyone who is currently logged in. And it's free too. You know how the layout can be edited as well, I believe.

Fionn Posted February 7, 2000 Author Share Posted February 7, 2000 Ah but there are other ways to REALLY keep things secret and confidential Listbots only those invited to them know about, isolated pages on independent servers hosting chats via java, mail lists which I and only I keep in my inbox . Secrecy and keeping the left hand from knowing what the right hand is doing when its necessary (such as in the CMMC) is one of my fortes PS. Thanks to everyone who has emailed me re: this thread. I am going out to a movie tonight (and was busy all day running around town) but I will definitely reply and categorise etc tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Deych Posted February 7, 2000 Share Posted February 7, 2000 Hey, Fionn. I'm a semi-decent programmer, just finishing up my M.S in C.S. If you need something done in that direction, I'll do what I can (x2 that for CM2). I'll certainly will be creating scenarios as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eridani Posted February 7, 2000 Share Posted February 7, 2000 Fionn- Beside CMSO (which is more Bill C.'s Doing than my own), I have lots to say in the way of Tactics and Military movements (mostly how not to do what ur opponent expects- i.e, unorthodox military tactics) I also do some decent photo manipulation/editing, and I know C++ (I was thinking of writing a PBEM-organizer before I heard one was included in CM) -Scott ------------------ Your Source for Combat Mission Scenarios and Operations information- http://patriot.net/~carey/cmso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
