@Tall-Paul Just how many books?

I recently read that the giant French WW1 era railway gun, Obusier de 520 modèle 1916, was used at Leningrad for several months before a misfire damaged the gun by the Germans.

I could not find any information of the history of the gun while at Leningrad. How many rounds was fired? Was it targeting the Red Navy? Only that it was captured by Soviet forces.

Does anyone know more on this gun?

@axis_roll I have not watched the History Channel in years. It became to heavily involved in reality TV.

We cut the cord.

@Panther Thanks for the reply.

@CWO-Marc good to hear from you

Have I overlook a tab for creating a poll question? Or has the new site layout done away with that feature?

@Caesar-Seriona We play a homemade version of A&A that has Canada as it’s own nation, allied with Great Britain. The British Far East and ANZAC are Independent. The Communist in China are also represented. It’s a fun game.

The game also rolls for French territory and Navy units after the fall of Paris. With a D-20 dice, 1-4 goes to Allies, 16 -20 goes Germans, 4-10 is scuttled, 10-16 goes to Vichy France.

@General-Hicks said in Second stand in france:

so hypothetically if the germans have a very poor turn one and lose lots of ground units in the capture of Paris and even maybe lose a plane or two in wiping out the British navy. has anyone tried to support the remaining french units in normandy, you could stack 3-4 allied fighters and move 2-4 land units into normandy aswell. so i am just wondering if this scenario has ever happened to someone or just your overall thoughts on the idea

I’ve consider it before but have not applied the move in a game. I played a 1936 Global War game where I stacked Paris with eight to ten AA guns to discourage German planes from tipping the scale of the battle.

@captainwalker Thanks for posting. It’s my father’s favorite chapter of WW2.

@CWO-Marc The publicity of the Channel Dash and the embarrassment of the R.N caused the English Channel to become off limits to German Commerce Raiders.The raider Togo was mauled attempting to run the Channel.
