<t> PoE,<br/> <br/> Do you know the Tactical Combat Series (TCS) by The Gamers (now published by MMP)?<br/> <br/> Units are modeled one echelon lower than in the Command Ops Series. E.g. Infantry units are platoons, or MG/mortar squads; armour can be either platoons or individual tanks depending on ...

<t> Tim,<br/> <br/> Removing the .50cal might have been more common among Commonwealth troops.<br/> <br/> Many - not all - of the US M4s pictured in action (not KO'd) in the Bulge do show the .50cal in place.<br/> <br/> It was sometimes used against infantry, albeit at great risk.

<t> First of all thanks for all the nice work put into LSA.<br/> <br/> I like LSA's innovation of giving the possibility to combine two BGs onto one map a lot. However, I don't see the need why one BG has to be defined as 'frontline', and the other as 'reserve' when filling up the BG Active Roster. ...

<t> Not really the operation I've researched detailed strength reports for. But&nbsp;as you know many to most units committed there were reorganizing or training/replacement units, not frontline Infanterie Divisions of&nbsp;the Eastern Front, - the infantry divisions already in the West were...

<t> Yes, many items got into short supply by the end of the war, but others were priotarized. Among those priorities was the MP43/MP44/StG44. Production peaked in the month of November 1944, when 55,100 weapons were produced (376,984 as total production figure from July '43 till 'February 45, taken ...

<t> OK, risking that this might be considered a pet peeve of mine: contrary to widespread belief, MP43/MP44/StG were produced in sufficient numbers to be used in concentrated quantities by quite a number of units. There's enough primary source material that shows this and enough (mostly German langu...

Tim,
We've&nbsp;taken notice of&nbsp;your observations.
Dave,
Could you have a look at this (when you have&nbsp;a moment)?

Tim,

Thanks. Jotted down!

<t> Tim,<br/> <br/> Various people have worked on (various parts of) the Estabs at various times. We've done efforts like you describe, starting from TOEs for unit estabs, substracting values (vehicles, drivers, messengers etc.) from them and adding these to their respective HQ, Base and/or support ...

<t> Dear Tim,<br/> &nbsp;<br/> Thanks. Yes,&nbsp;you are right, both are glitches: firstly, the numbers&nbsp;of the small arms must have&nbsp;not been filled out when the Cav Tp Estab was built. Secondly, the way the Estabs data model works, (1.) it is possible for a gun to be&nb...

Now back to bed.

Goodguy,

I'm relieved to read you're taking care of yourself again; I would have almost believed you had actually moved to some distant time zone. [:)]

Cheers!
