Re: Normandy 1944 (Naval Gunfire Support)

The example of my test was a bombardment, and nothing but a bombardment, for the whole game length, ie, 39 turns, with artillery set at 175%. At the end the area all around the tanks was nothing but...

Re: Normandy 1944

The hexes the Tanks were in were all hit repeatedly. No tank moved at all except the one that retreated (fairly early on). Also note I had Artillery set at 175% (as I normally do for WWII actions).

One the other side, 10 spotter aircraft, one RN 16in Battleship, two RN 15inch Battleship,...

Re: Cloak & Dagger from the Cold War

And, if you will forgive me derailing your topic a bit, then check out the excellent books of Derek Robinson especially 'Piece of Cake' (1983) -not the crap British TV series- and 'A Good Clean...

Re: Cloak & Dagger from the Cold War

Much the best were probably the Harry Palmer films, based on Len Deighton novels, with Michael Caine:

'The Ipcress File' (1962) 'Funeral in Berlin' (1964) and 'Billion Dollar Brain' (1966).

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

Sweden has declared it will not remain neutral with the so called “declaration of solidarity” and participates in a number of NATO drills and NATO operations (Cold Response, Afghanistan, Libya)....

Operation Compass North Africa 1940-41

This is a good documentary on the British Wavell Counter offensive against the Italians in North Africa starting in December 1940 under General Richard O'Conner.

Bear in mind that the Indian...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

I am certain UK would use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack on British territory and, perhaps, on British forces. A large scale Chemical attack, that caused a lot of casualties, might...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

No one, with half a working brain, is going to use nuclear weapons over the Baltic States, I very much hope.

Hell I don't actually think NATO, and certainly not UK, should fight for them at all,...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

I would be amazed, to put it mildly, if Sweden or Finland did a thing beyond some totally pointless verbal protest at the UN.

Re: Map request Kohima 1944

In WWII, Indian Divisions were normally three brigades of Infantry each with one British and two Indian (or Gurkha battalions). Artillery was mostly British, Armour was roughly about 50/50. By late...

This is one of the most detailed documentaries you are likely to find on the famous Operation Market Garden of September 1944. It covers the British (and Polish) and US Airborne forces fighting and...

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Yes, I too recall a report the HMS QE class carriers won't be F-35B suitable until sometime beyond 2020. Something to do with a retrofit of her decks. Until then, she will carry helos.

Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

Bear in mind a lot of good Russian offices died in the revolution or left the Soviet Service. Then in the 1930's the vile Stalin had a great many leading soldiers executed. None of which did the...

Re: Russian Invasion of the Baltic States

The Germans gave the Soviets a few black eyes at Narwa and later the Blue Mountains (hills really) in 1944. There were still sizable German forces in Kurland on May 8, 1945.
