The two schnauzer puppies I have are great fun but sometimes they are lucky you can't buy guns in the UK...... If they don't stop barking at people walking passed the window I think I'll.............<SM sm="00000106.gif">[sm=00000106.gif ...

Your German girlfriend didn't know how to write in German.

"Gib mir dein ganz kleiner Schwanz."

Thank you.&nbsp; I'll change my procedures regarding bases.

Does this mean that all the bases that congregate around SEP1 should migrate over to SEP2 after day 2?&nbsp; What's the best location for bases?&nbsp; I was always trying to move bases close to supported units, but this seems to be wrong, at least for airborne bases.

<t> It will be an experiment.&nbsp; Right now I'm using individual companies detached from higher level formations.&nbsp; The offensive consists of the gebirgsjaeger and individual companies that still have some basic supply.&nbsp; Everybody else is taking a break.&nbsp; If that's the way the ...

Maybe that's my problem, I've been placing bases halfway between the supply source and the drawing units.&nbsp; I'll try the scenario again with bases where you say they should be.

Me too, in this scenario at least 2/3 of my units are completely out of basic supply by day 3 and, therefore, useless for any offensive actions. &nbsp;

<t> I can't blame Ray.&nbsp; Looking down that path in photo #9 looks like forever.&nbsp; I&nbsp;once read some statistic that the average US American will get in his car and drive if the distance is more than 300 meters.&nbsp;&nbsp;The "US" is in there so as not to offend the Canadians and Mexicans ...

Still telling myself, "They're always right and they never lie."

Right, I see you're with me on this, and what's he doing talking about "strategically withdrawn," wasn't that more like a "rout?"&nbsp; I applaud the RN, and all the civilians that helped out, but it wasn't as if the operation was planned like a strategic withdrawal.

Eddy, did these facts become apparent to you before, or after your meeting with the aliens from Epsilon Eridani?

<t> OK, I think I can remember that, you're always right and you never lie.<br/>

Whenever I'm in Canada, I tell them, "I'm from your colony to the south," I hope that's showing appropriate humility.<br/>

But, wait a minute, if you guys are so right how come they spell ...

...I mean the Euro-English thing.

Sorry I started all this.&nbsp; It was just meant to be a little joke.&nbsp; "Yes, a very little joke," all the Brits are saying.
&nbsp;
Eddy, I don't know where you got that from, but I like it.

When people ask me when my birthday is, I tell them, "Once a year."

You guys are doing a great job, you fully deserve this recognition; but you spelled "honor" wrong.

How do I know how many units I need to exit in order to meet the condition for attaining that objective? I guess this is probably in the manual somewhere. Could it be made part of the scenario briefing for those of us who are too busy (or lazy) to calculate the number?

Hans,
&nbsp;
There's a world of difference between "engineers" and "combat engineers", similar to the difference between a hammer and a flamethrower.&nbsp; I know what you mean, I've worked with both types of engineers,

Nobody answered my question, does anyone know?
&nbsp;
Is it better to leave bases under the control of their commands (computer control), or is it more advantageous to move them close to the front line and the units they support?

OK Dave, keeping the focus on COTA, could you consider a way to attach an inorganic unit without having to give a succeeding command to the overall formation?&nbsp; Something similar to the reattach command for organic units?
