Sunshine drive to Chicago

Rune's house sneak peak wow

Graphics Doo-dads Armor

Covered arc machineguns rule

Dead men in the field

Molotov Cocktail

Tossed in the Stalingrad breeze

Burns the tank very well

88 remains hid

Assault guns rumble in fog

Reach out and touch one

Someone needs to go on a date, me thinks. Of course sometimes an 88 is just an 88.

Here's one that won't be in CMBB:

Dog sniffs autumn breeze.

Thunder rumbles along the trail.

Bright flower blossoms.

Deathclock ticks seconds

Reload quick thunder on way

Target is unclear

Straightlined infantry

Waves as if by the ocean

My forces too thin

Preset barrage rains

Steel dragonflies and hail whiz

Next will come the tanks

Factories are huge

Thick walls defended to death

Windows allow breeze

Demo out in days

Nature will not be seen much

Computer screen glows

Thin Red Line,

Thanks! Sadly, that one's based on reality, specifically a dig of German trenches on the Vistula line. In the shattered remains of the German entrenchments were some poor Landser's boots--his skeletal feet still in them. About as evocative as it gets (saw the pictures). The article was in either MILITARY ILLUSTRATED or AFTER THE BATTLE.

Swirling fight in orchards

Death tolls in ringing armor

Prokhorovka clash

With lethal tongues of flame

And pistol port for entry

Dies the Ferdinand

Regards,

Over open sights

Katyusha shrieks her rage

Panzers die or flee

The steppe in flame erupts

Mine blast rips both wheels and tracks

How hungry the guns!

The orders are clear

No stopping for comrades hit

Friends die in burnt grass

No gun from Stalin

Cartridges, a handful

Death at Vyazma

Regards,

John Kettler
