Binchois
Too many words...
I think I was doing the same thing, right around the same time (somewhere between '79 and '85 :waiting. In fact...I used to set up a card table in the living room and play SL, COI, COD and G.I. each night I got off work. Used to put on old shows like Combat and watch and play at the same time. Multi-tasking. This was about 1982-83. I have been into the game ever since, and even still after AH/MMP made it the most confusing wargame ever created. Threw in a little Panzerblitz and Panzer Leader in the mix from time to time. Ah, memory lane.
I'll always recall when a member of "the Patrol" blew up (Kaboom!) some German tank by throwing a wooden barrel at its turret - ridiculous! Unfortunately, I was playing SL at the time!... the memory may be totally apocryphal!! Regardless of whether it ever happened, it will remain the signature image I have of that show.Next you're going to tell me that Rat Patrol isn't realistic!!
Ahem...so in conclusion: Yes, "Operation : Schmidt"
