Cowabunga dude.And thus ended the second Battle of Cowpuns.
No dangling paratroopers. 1 glider landing scenario. No paradrop scenarios. One of the CGs has a glider landing also.What about the paratrooper that got stuck in the church steeple like Hutch mentioned? Is he depicted in a scenario/CG?
Damn, there should have been a SSR where he is used like an E1.23 Recon DR to any American unit adjacent to him in a scenarioNo dangling paratroopers. 1 glider landing scenario. No paradrop scenarios. One of the CGs has a glider landing also.
several of the scenarios are remakes (5 if i recall). The others are new scenarios.
I'm reading Sand and Steel and the author states that the John Steele dummy is hanging from the wrong spire on the church.Damn, there should have been a SSR where he is used like an E1.23 Recon DR to any American unit adjacent to him in a scenario
Yeah, how do you work the paratrooper dummies into the game as a mechanic?I'm reading Sand and Steel and the author states that the John Steele dummy is hanging from the wrong spire on the church.
Flip back and see post 75Perry question, I once heard something about a strategic campaign game being worked on for this module.
Is that true?
The thread kept moving along.Missed that post amongst the cow jokes.
You don't. They were not dropped near SMEYeah, how do you work the paratrooper dummies into the game as a mechanic?
That's correct. Visited there a few years ago. He actually got snagged on the other side of the steeple, which is along the adjoining street. That side of the steeple is not very visible (for tourist purposes), so they made the decision to put him on the more visible side (central parking area). It makes for a better picture, and most folks don't know the difference. If he had actually landed as the dummy is currently placed, he probably wouldn't have survived, being in plain view of most of the town square/center. I believe a restaurant named in his honor is also still there.I'm reading Sand and Steel and the author states that the John Steele dummy is hanging from the wrong spire on the church.
Random Gunflash is all I can think of. IIRC they were meant as a diversion dropped away from the actual LZs. Were they ever in an area with actual troops? Cool to speculate on their use in the system. Chrome is especially nice at Night.Yeah, how do you work the paratrooper dummies into the game as a mechanic?
Nah, I know, I meant into the game in general for where they were. How did the dummy get to SME if they weren't used there?You don't. They were not dropped near SME
Thought you were talking about the dummy paratroopers that were dropped. My badRandom Gunflash is all I can think of. IIRC they were meant as a diversion dropped away from the actual LZs.
