<t>Les, thanks for responding, <br/>
<br/>
My old computer also had SPMBT as well. I am unable to play on my current computer (Windows 2000), but I have a new on the way that will allow me to play.<br/>
<br/>
I just had a few ideas, as was hoping someone out there still had the Moderna patch tucked ...

<t>I may be a bit of a fossil for asking, I am looking for the Moderna patch to SP3.<br/>
<br/>
Does someone still have the files, and be willing to share them? My last computer had them, but it crashed and I am unable to recover anything.<br/>
<br/>
I know that the files may be too large to send ...

You're all over it.

You all can probably guess what I do by my profile. Over nine years. Kudos to anyone who knows what IYACYAS means.

Regards,

Matt

<t>I stand corrected. Enemy at the Gates is not winning running away. Battle of the Bulge is a close second. I had forgotten about that. I haven't seen Pearl Harbor yet through a strange set of circumstances.<br/>
<br/>
But to talk specifics in "Enemy. . ." I'll start at the beginning with the ...

<t>Gentlemen, I had to weigh in on this one, I don't know if anyone will actually see it. <br/>
<br/>
Best Movie --> We Were Soldiers - for realism, drama, decent acting. I may be biased having spent three years in the unit, but more true than any movie I've seen. I stood and cheered when that one ...

<t>Personally, I would love to see more megacampaigns. It this is a way to keep SPWAW vital for a bit longer, I am all for pretty much any megacampaign that comes (provided of course that they keep the same high standard or variety, challenge, etc.) <br/>
<br/>
However, as others have said, the ...

<t>I thing the book that you are referring to is "Helmet for My Pillow" by Leckie. I don't recall his first name. I read it not too long ago and it at least provided some entertainment. I think that the author may have adapted and fictionalized his memoirs. I have not researched it personally ...

<t>I'd like to refine my observations from earlier. <br/>
<br/>
Many of you pointed out some good facts an views on the breakdown aspect. From what I remember, an earlier version, perhaps v5, had a very high number ob breakdowns and I remember quite a number of threads that mentioned that. I don't ...

<t>Does anyone else feel that vehicles get stuck too often? I can understand breakdowns and malfunctions, but I feel that vehicles get stuck far too often, especially in inappropriate terrain (ie. clear, dry spaces or fields). If I had a nickel for every time I had a T-34 in about the last 20 ...

You might try a few websites in addition to the History Channel's if you are looking for this episode or similar videos. Usually all of the History Channel's programs are available on their website. A couple of other good ones are:<br/>

<t>Gump, this is a great inquiry and I will through in my two cents and add a bit to what is out there.<br/>
<br/>
First of all, even 20% casualties in this situation is tough to stomach, let alone 50%. I would submit that there are a couple of keys here: combined arms and patience. As I envision it ...

<t>Folks,<br/>

I have not been on this board for a while, but I have played the SP series for quite a while. I have been reading this series, and have seen quite number of tests for the new armor and penetration values that point either way on this issue. So these inspired me and I thought, I ...

<t>Folks,<br/>
<br/>
Frankly I'm glad that SP doesn't have logistics. The limited ammo and breakdowns do enough to simulate them (read: I get mad enough when things breakdown or my mortars and artillery run out of ammo, I don't care what you say about ammo dumps).<br/>
<br/>
Logistics just take too ...

I couldn't resist this topic and I've got a little time today, so my two cents follow. I know a lot of you retiree (US anyway) may disagree, but hey it is a forum, right?<br/>

On the US Army going to the Black beret. Who really cares? It's just a hat. As an ...

Wild Bill, great idea. I look forward to hearing more. Personnally am working on campaign in the Ardennes for an American rifle company based somewhat on Charles MacDonald's book Company Commander. Though I may switch ...

<t>I have been reading the boards and playing the SP series for a while, but am fairly new to posting. Though I may be looked upon as a heretic, I will throw out another idea in this thread for debate. <br/>
<br/>
Why not bring artillery back to strictly on board as it was in the original SP3. SP3 ...

<r>If you haven't found the book you are looking for, there are many books with similar themes. Sajer is perhaps one of the most powerful works, but there are several more not already mentioned and the basic soldier level and of a few of the more famous:<br/>

<t>Speaking of Stalingrad movies and fiction, has anyone read the novel by Theodor Plevier? I believe that the 1957 and 1994 versions of the movie by the same name are based loosely (very loosely) on the book. Anyone who has seen a preview of Enemy at the Gates or the trailer have an opinion about ...
