That's about right ..... Hitler wanted to be an artist and/or architect..... I think that his dying quote was about how Germany had lost a great artist.... hmmmmm he musta be a pretty ...

That is certainly correct - Patton believed he had been Hannibal at Zama in the 2nd Punic War, 202 BC. It was Hannibal's final significant defeat.

Here's one -

There is a famous scene from the life of Patton (and the movie) in which he takes a detour in his Jeep in North Africa to a battlefield, saying something along the lines of "I have been here before." What was the battlefield, and what armies fought there in what war?

More maps there. There is one allied map from 1945 that might be useful in particular.

Good luck

Here's what you guys need. I have seen these maps (actually aerial photos) up close and they are excellent.

<t>The map looks very good.<br/>
<br/>
I was in Berlin last week and it is hard to imagine what it was like in 1945, but what I imagined is something like what your map looks like.<br/>
<br/>
A couple of notes:<br/>
<br/>
1) the Spree, I think, is a little narrower than you have it. It also has ...

Anyone this side of the ocean interested in going to the Panzermuseum in Munster sometime in the next month or so?

here's the site, if you are interested:

Thanks - just picked up a couple. Lots of pop-ups, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

<r>Sounds good to me - though it would be my first PBEM game. <br/>
<br/>
I've been meaning to try it, but have been busy beating up on the AI <E>:)</E>.<br/>
<br/>
So long as you have the patience to deal with a rookie (I.e., be willing to explain HOW you beat me), I'm up for it.<br/>
<br/>
Maybe ...

<r>Thanks everyone, great advice - or at least is sounds like it <E>:)</E>. <br/>
<br/>
anyway, I will post here how I do. Should be a challenge for me, since as the Germans I TRIED to engage at maximum range.<br/>
<br/>
Sounds like I will have to learn to operate in small groups behind smoke, etc ...

<t>Being a fan of the Long WWII Campaigns, I want to give the Brits (another) try. I have played most of the war as Germany, and good parts of it as the US Army and Russkies.<br/>
<br/>
The first time I played, however, was as the Brits. It was a blast, until I got into the desert and had nothing to ...

<t>If I understand correctly, a large number of the Corsairs produced did not have folding wings (and presumably other carrier gear) - while this would not completely prevent them from being used, it would make it pretty unlikely that a CV would go sailing around with Corsairs making up any large ...

Vanilla long WW2 campaign, no editing. I don't think I even loaded a save that could have become corrupted - I was playing straight through.

<t>Not sure if this is the same problem, but also as the Germans, in the desert in 42, I had at least a similar one.<br/>
<br/>
The scenario was delay (British advance). Map was small, I think about 50-60 hexes high. Anyway, there were no flags, and I could deploy my forces almost (but not quite ...
