Ugh, that does irritate the hell out of me.

<r>I've seen an individual engineer squad remove anywhere from 1 - 5 mines per turn. I believe number of men, suppression and experience of the unit are factors in how many are removed. I know it can take several turns to clear a path, that's why I like to stack a whole platoon in one hex to speed ...

Great idea, can't wait to give it a try.

I second that.

<r>Heh, gonna drag this thread up again, but I was just watching SPR last night and as I am new to SPWAW I just realized the sound clip origins. <E>:)</E> It was the sound of the halftrack moving and then being destroyed that clicked for me, after that I recognized a few more. Pretty cool, I think ...

Yeah, I usually lead with a platoon of 231 8-rads, tend to lose them a lot though.

Yeah, that's APG. I have several (relatively poor quality) photos I took there when I was working for DOD back in '95.

I believe the Horst Wessel was the official national anthem of the Nazi party. I could be mis-informed, though.

Another thumbs up for "The Forgotten Soldier". Good viewpoint of a German soldat.

Hitler wanted to be a painter, he applied twice to I believe an art institute in Vienna and was denied both times. I saw a picture of one of his paintings in the newspaper here recently, he wasn't that good.

Wasn't there some brouhaha recently about IBM selling to the Germans during the early part of the war?

In the "scen" folder. Make sure you don't overwrite another scenario with the same number.

The gun club I belong has an annual "Machine Gun Shoot" every May, where FFL dealers bring their selection of wares and you can shoot whatever you like - for a price. So when I saw the MG42, I made a beeline for that sucker.

<B><s>[B]</s>I know that there enough ex-(and current) GI types that can better answer this than me, but I don't think the .50 had as high a ROF as the 30. Supposedly, the ROF on the MG42 was so high that it was ...
