Guest Madmatt Posted April 5, 2000 Share Posted April 5, 2000 I have no idea how I stumbled on this site as I was looking for web-backgrounds but it looks to be VERY cool and they have some neat stuff including, books, models and some nice period manuals and those cool action figures I have heard all about before. Check it out! http://www.jjfpub.mb.ca/ Madmatt ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ! combathq.thegamers.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark IV Posted April 5, 2000 Share Posted April 5, 2000 The midi link alone worth the click... http://ingeb.org/Lieder/esbraust.html Mood music for CM. Panzerlied, and check out Wacht am Rhein (2nd version, or Melodie, is best, but for real flavor try the MP3)... Panzergrenadieren greatest hits. Thank you.

Guest Madmatt Posted April 6, 2000 Share Posted April 6, 2000 Now this one looks VERY promising: Panzertaktik German Small-Unit Armor Tactics in World War 2 by Wolfgang Schneider ISBN: 0-921991-52-5 Pre-Pub Price: $78 (US) / $110 (Canada). Regular Price: $85 (US) / $120 (CDN) Hard cover, English text, 12” x 9” format, 512 pages, 600+ photos, maps and diagrams. Wolfgang Schneider has written the definitive account of German Army small-unit tactics in World War 2. Using period training manuals, after-action reports, countless interviews with Panzer veterans and his own experiences as a highly successful armor commander in the Bundeswehr, Schneider describes period Panzer tactics and couples this narrative with related maps and diagrams and hundreds of exciting photographs. Indeed, the photographs alone are worth the price of the book. Drawing on many previously unpublished sources, the photos illustrate all of the concepts presented in the text. Concentrating at the battalion level and below, Schneider discusses the major types of small-unit operational art — the offense and the defense — as well as road marches, reconnaissance, command and control, working with other arms of service, life in a tank, armor training and gunnery and the future of armor. The text provides useful insight into armor tactics for both the layman and the armor professional. This title plugs a gap in the available literature, since very little has been written on the topic for the general public by soldiers who are intimately familiar with the demands of armored warfare. This is the third title written by Wolfgang Schneider for J.J. Fedorowicz Publishing. It joins the hugely successful titles, Tigers in Combat and Tigers in Combat 2, as an indispensable reference work on World War 2 armor. The fine print: This pre-pub offer good until 15 April 2000. We anticipated delivery of the book from the printers on/about 1 May 2000. If you place a pre-publication order for the book, we will charge your account immediately.

s bakker Posted April 6, 2000 Share Posted April 6, 2000 Yep, Panzettaktik looks very good so i ordered it right away. (Who said i had a spine ?) But also have a look at 'infantry aces'.... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Infanterie Aces by Franz Kurowski (ISBN 0-921991-22-3) $44.00 (US) / $60.00 (CDN) Hard cover, 9"x6", 528 pages, 130 photographs, 16 maps. Details the combat experiences of 8 German infantry soldiers: 2 Waffen SS; 1 paratrooper; and, 5 army. Each soldier receives a separate chapter with an additional chapter on infantry tactics. It was the hard-fighting infantry that was the backbone of the German armed forces. This book features lots of exciting accounts of small-unit actions on different battle fronts. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Looks like a good resource for CM playing tips and maybe for an odd scenario or to. Besides that Tiger Hobbies features a whole slew of books on german military unit histories which would appeal to CMMC players (get that book about your unit!) and would propably be great sources for historic scenarios and operations. Check it out everybody! Grtz S Bakker [This message has been edited by s bakker (edited 04-06-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
