I sometimes find quite repellant in works of WWII military history,
the extent to which self-serving lies by Wehrmacht generals are
accepted & obscure the fact that the Wehrmacht as an institution was
deeply f.cked-up.

I was waiting for something like this after playing "Airbrone Assault
- Red Devils Over Arnhem", when I saw the map for Operation
Battleaxe/Crusader. Too bad, I heard that they are going after Bludge
instead. I am aware of Torbuk '41 but I did not get into it very deep.

and will it come with copy protection that makes it unfeasible to use with
a laptop on the go?

    As you may know, in the next few weeks the new computer version of
the classic "Empires in Arms" (Napoleonic warfare on a strategic scale) is
due to come out. Of course, the manufacturer says it will be the greatest
thing since sliced bread. ;-)   I'd be real interested to hear ...

Until I can get more time (my son's wife arrives today and I will get
my computer back....) to go into details of the game I am playing now,
let me make this considered statement: Across the dnepr (requires
Korsun Pocket) is hands down the best operational wargame I have ever

their appalling exchange system with AA - until I saw their shipping
charges. $49.99 for the game and $39.95 to ship to Europe and with the
implied threat of adding taxes to that sum. The age of the $100 game

At one point, I had a mod for CMBO that printed a contour grid over the
terrain.
Is there a similar product available for CMBB/CMAK?  The desert maps,
particularly, are difficult to appraise tactically without plotting each

Two great games, especially for fans of maneuver warfare. I got HTTR
on Friday and downloaded Across the Dnepr today. I have an AAR of
sorts for an HTTR scenario on the Matrix forums site (when you wnat to
move a division, make sure you click on the right HQ...), and I have

I still have one game running under WOTY, but after upgrading to Win
XP (a clean install), I find I am unable to install the program from
the CD.  When I try to install it immediately takes me back to the
desktop.

Am very curious, as I have been designing some basic scenarios (Mostly
"Brushfire" wars in Africa), but am about to start a much larger project,
Larry Bond's "Cauldron", updated a bit to 2003.
The thought of designing all the European maps from scratch is daunting, and

Looking for something along the lines of Panzer General, but more
modernized.  Either turn or real-time, more or less historically accurate,
and fun without a ton of micromanagement.  Thanks.

I am trying to play an old game from AH called Stalingrad that came
out in around 94.  I am having problems with stabilty, where the
program crashes part way through the first round of the scenarios.  I
am using XP to play the game.
