Konigs Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hows that Rambo, AAR request is answered. I like the Tournament name, as you were the one pushing to set it up, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Its late April 1940. The Germans have just about surrounded Paris. New & Improved weapons arrive for the infantry... Unfortunately it will be much too late...Our French Char B heavy tanks are strategicly placed in the city of France. More than a match for his Panzer II's, III's, and 38t's. So what's the trick to adding pictures here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
