Hey, Imperious Leader, I was looking at your website for A&A-type games, and I started drooling when I saw the WWI ship models.  Did you mold those yourself?

Hell NO! You have to develop your own weaponry. It does not become yours if you take out his capital or if your even his ally.

Can you imagine the Germans capturing Moscow and finding all these bomber blueprints?  I can see the OKW specialists now, reading the blueprints upside down because of a mistranslation.  The resulting prototype was a disaster.  Pity those bomber pilots that opened the bomb bay doors on top of their aircraft and bombed themselves.

1:  Will the armored strengths be appropriate in the Bulge scenario?  The OOB for D-Day was way out of proportion in the German favor.  I understand play balancing, but if you had given Rommel that much armored support, we'd be discussing the Western Armistice of 1944 in history classes.

2:  Canadian units is a good start, but can we have some Free Polish Forces?  Or, would there be a Free Forces expansion separate?

3:  If there is no F-6F in the Contested Skies set I will be very upset.

I'm working on two books on my lengthy "to read" shelf.  The first is The Sling and the Stone, by Marine Col. Thomas Hammes. It's an assessment of modern American military doctrine.  The second book is Misfire by William Hallahan, a rather overly critical work on the history of American arms manufacturing, trying to highlight the failures such as early rifle manufacturing at Springfield and Harper's Ferry, all the way to the M-16 fiasco early in the Vietnam campaign.

Bring on the Curling!

I wish I could find my copy of Men With Brooms

[Jermofoot]

Jermofoot, my local Blockbuster eventually gifted me their copy since I was the only person who rented it for the year and a half it was in their store.

Funny, they did the same thing with P.T.O. for the SNES.

Does anyone have a picture of the A-Bomb counter from World in Flames?

That may very well be a StuH, it's definately a PzIII chassis with a 75mm assault gun.  The Soviet assault gun on the right is the Su-122. . Deployed in 1943, it should have fairly weak anti-armor capability, but the 122mm howitzer is good at close range.  A lot of these were actually captured and used by the Germans, which would be neat if there was a set of captured vehicle cards ever produced.

As for my wish list:
88mm Flak 18 - an air defense and anti-tank combo that would be deadly.  Besides, it's one of the more famous towed pieces.
Martin B-26 Marauder;
North American B-25A Mitchell - just because the models themselves would look great.
Finnish Forces - mainly because I painted a Finnish Brewster Buffalo mini for the Red Sun/Blue Sky series.
