The trailers look great, but I cant justify the $55 cable bill to the wife for one show/channel. I'm waiting for the DVD.
Avalon Hill or SPI did a very cool and fun game titled "Invasion:Malta",IIRC. They had paratrooper drift rates(after you rolled for wind...
All I know is Big Joe and Lt.Kelly and Oddball kicked LAH's ass in Claremont!!!!
An AA shell and AT shell were two different rounds of ammo, I would have to assume the 88Flak's AT capability was known early on.
The allies didnt/couldnt use flak guns in AT roles because they were not at the front. The Allies had so many SPG's/AFV's that these were quite...
The E100 itself closely resembles a Konigstiger, with extra side skirt armor plates which are removable using jibs carried on the vehicle. The...
The best source in my posession for this info is:"Panzerkampfwagen Maus und andere deutsche Panzerprojekte" by Sawodny and Bracher,1978. Its in...
In 1943 the Germans came to the conclusion that they could never produce enough tanks producing 4 distinctly different models of tanks at once....

#1) Tanks are mobile weapons, the fist of the attack. You build a pillbox for a defensive position. Yes, tanks work in a defensive role, but,...
It was 505, not 551. Is 505 still in Chicago(?) on display? The recon plane was the nail in the coffin for me. IIRC, (I saw the movie opening...
actually I remember from reading about the capture of U-551 that there is some sort of hatch that can be opened from inside the vessel to fill and...
But you know the U-571 SHOULD have gone down. I know 20mm and 37mm aircraft guns could sink em though. There is a section of "Bombing Twins"...
exactly Tim. The Russians did have the BT series and T-26 at the beginning of the war.
How and why do the Germans do anything different? Remember, "Russia is rotten to the core, we must only kick the door in" Hitler.
There are war movies and there are war movies. I have to say Private Ryans success cursed us all to a few summers of bad WWII movies. U-571...
Ste, ok maybe not(measured with my Rand Mcnally world atlas and plastic ruler late last night). But are not my other points valid? The Germans...
How is the BEF destroyed? Rundstedt and Hitler both severely underestimated the ability of the English to rescue their soldiers. No one, not...
