Eureka. Great CO mystery solved.

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Watch from 30:30 on. At about 30:51 the mystical words are said: I think I can confirm he says "Stretcherbearer, Strechterbearer". Generations of CO players where marveling about the meaning of the mysterical CO soundfile [8D].
Now the it has been demystified. [:D]

That's a fantastic video clip mate, thanks for sharing it.
I've not seen this one before.
Makes such a change to see a movie that's made by Brit's and not straight out of Hollywood, even if it was made 67 years ago.

This movie was made 1 year after Arnhem. The actors are all real soldiers who fought at Arnhem and I think its filmed at the real places where the fights took place. Though we, the germans, are still called Huns [8|].

Wow, it's an incredible movie. The sound was especially incredible. And it was so different from the Hollywood war movies. Soldiers acted very differently in the movie - dialogues were much more communicative and action scenes were much more busy.

But these sounds!
These tank engines!

Did Panther obtain the rights to use the Movie's audio bits commercially?


I'd really like to get a statement either from Matrix or Panther, to clarify whether the Panther games I own contain "borrowed" audio bits or not.
