John Kettler Posted March 4, 2000 Share Posted March 4, 2000 The title says it all!!! This is a must read for all Combat Mission players and anyone with an interest in World War 2 combat. Bryan Bell's various accounts have been quoted as authoritative by Stephen Ambrose and have appeared in official Army pubs. This growing online book is a real how to fight and what it's like described by the man who led the troops from Normandy until... Devour it for yourself at www.bbll.com/army Guaranteed to be a real education! Regards, John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Zeares Posted March 5, 2000 Share Posted March 5, 2000 That's some pretty good reading. Do other people visualize the action with CM graphics, or am I just insane? -- Mike Zeares, who keeps waiting for his life to pause after the action phase so he can issue new orders. I suck at Real-Time Life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Ryan Posted March 6, 2000 Share Posted March 6, 2000 I personally like the picture of the german sniper, with the ladder going up the tree. Wouldn't you have at least thrown it on the ground? A little give-away in my eyes. Pvt. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hunt52 Posted March 6, 2000 Share Posted March 6, 2000 simple: carry up a coil of rope with you. Tie it to the top of the tree. lower yourself when it's time to mosey. (if you know how to land well you can fall 15 or 20 feet without hurting yourself at all. sorry...) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Fox Posted March 7, 2000 Share Posted March 7, 2000 Bell's account is quite interesting but I think the best US small unit leader account I have come across on the web is that of Brown who seems to have been an above average officer. http://www.tankbooks.com/brown.htm [This message has been edited by Simon Fox (edited 03-06-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 7, 2000 Author Share Posted March 7, 2000 Simon, Thanks for the tip! Will definitely check that one out. By the way, troops, if you haven't already, go to www.tankbooks.com and read TANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. John Kettler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
