While not vehicles, when playing CG's allowing 2 snipers I often name my Snipers Bob and Doug, the McKenzie brothers from SCTV played by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. I never have much luck with snipers, perhaps I should pick better names.

Personally, I max out on infantry first, always 2 coys... a rifle coy in res and the scripts up front as speed bumps to preserve your good troops, occasionally I'll go for dug in KV's but you have to know they are Stuka bait on day 2 should they survive day 1. Toys are nice but CG, RB...

If it was possible, it should be allowed. In a RB CG, one could use an armoured blitz and grab the Commissars house on day 1 (holding it on day 2 is a different story). This goes against history but it adds an almost operational lvl tactics to the game. To me, this is the attraction of a CG, the...

Im embarking on a long trip of sorts, morphing a photo onto a vasl hex grid and then doing the artwork all while using GIMP. Honestly, its not for the faint of heart but so far so good! Photo found, layered with a hex grid and somewhat lined up. Q1. As I understand it, in order for VASL program...

Thanks. I just bought the module online so it'll likely be a couple weeks before it arrives.

If I had the DTW map scanned... At this point Im uncertain if I can get it scanned locally but Im hopeful a) could someone VASL it to replace the VASL 3.0 era version we currently see? b) if someone is willing to do this, what file format is best for ya'll to work with? I dont need all the...

In relation to the other buildings on the map, some of which have 5 floors, the Comm's house should be a 1st lvl building, the Comm's house is much closer in height to the row of one hex 1st lvl stone buildings on P Lenina street. Inside the building there is a ground floor and a second floor as...

The map which comes with the book certainly shows a different look than we are accustomed to with the RB map. Mostly less roads, more railways, one RB factory is actually multiple buildings close together. We now know the Comm's house is actually a 1st lvl building, the x24, x21, z25 buildings...

8-0 to 8-1 for certain, more bang for your buck. The 9 ml unit also comes with the peril of a lltc/mc when stacked with 8 ml units. RB and other CG's are a game of accounting IMO. Kill ratio's and cpp kill ratios (for instance, a 6 CPP OBA has to kill, cause to be killed and/or save your own...

Heading back to Stalingrad myself, once again after a closely fought and bloody affair VotG CG1, this time its RBIII as the Germans using Leaflet House Rules. I think the LHR is a bit rough on the Germans with the 838's losing 2 DC and their 5 smoke exponent, but we'll see how it pans out.

- VASL version 6.6.1 - Extension BFP_v431 (1) v4.3.1 loaded - Bad Data in Module: Unable to open board file bdRBv3 VASSAL version 3.5.8. Any idea what Im going wrong?

Its a shame there arent many more photos from this fly over, pretty certain it was a Russian. Taken in Apr or May 43.
