ozi_digger Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Hi all, I've recently been doing some background reading/research in preparation for the release of CMAK and came across this little gem: 9th Australian Division Report on Operations El Alamein Oct-Nov 1942 :eek: . It was published in '42 and contains 9th Div OOB, orders, echelon maps and 1:50000 situational maps. If anyone from Battlefront, scenario builders or web hosts are interested, I'm planning to risk copyright infringement and scan it at work tomorrow :cool: . It is 39 single sided pages + 3 large maps, so have no idea at this stage how large the file will be. If you want a copy in jpeg/pdf format, just indicate here in the forum or email me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortround Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Published in 1942? Wouldn't the censors butcher it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 What would the censors have to do with it :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozi_digger Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Published in 1942? Wouldn't the censors butcher it? It is an official defence publication from 1942, an AAR in effect. BTW have been on the scanner this morning and work is about 70% complete. Each page is about 100k, except maps which will be a bit larger. Please let me know whether you want jpeg or pdf format.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Bugger, never mind. I thought this was some sort of Aussie 'lonely hearts' thread, and wandered in to mock 'em. Well, it is, seemingly, but it's Aussie grog yearning stuff. Carry on, you wallabies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
