its 75 has two different penetration ratings. At first I thought well maybe it represents ammo quality from a set period, but a quick look at the encyc leads to more confusion, there's another mark of Sherman avail at the same time that has a 75mm with a different rating. Then you look at the UK OOB and their Shermans have the one rating but not the other, same for the USMC

So you have two 75mm armed Shermans with the same gun but different ammo penetrations (91 vs 102) the former IIRC is listed in Mr Bird's balistics chart. I have no idea where the 102 comes from. I've asked repeatedly about it and never received an answer from the OOB teams.

and i am NOT a Ronson lover......i like my cute wittle Pz-III's They pop when you cook em.

Hi, That sounds really nice. I've always considered the period from around 1750 to 1830 as a series of "World Wars" Between various alliances



Yeah, Russ, they were the first "world wars" performed on a more leisurely basis. The communications problems were what made choosing commanders an act of major importance. That game certainly could not survive the WITP leader bugs!!!
fair winds,

KABLAMMO is patented. The Germans wouldn't dare risk the possibiltiy of American Lawyers coming....over there

Besides....Sherman tank commander simply calls in the P-47's. Nothing like a nice pair of Jugs.....yes.

Hence they have renamed it KABLOMMO to prevent legal action [;)]

Have to agree with you tho nothing like a pair of Jugs swopping down on you. What a sight [8D]
