Col Deadmarsh Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 1. So, arty spotters who have to lay cable can only move "slow" while the ones with radios can move fast? Is this right? 2. Where does this cable stretch from and exactly was it used? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 CD, have you seen "Enenmy At The Gates"? About half-way through there is a scene in which Zaitzev shoots several Germans crawling around with a wheel on their back. They were laying cable. It works just like a point-to-point telephone. Which is what it is really. Regards JonS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
