Combat! is on right now. Wouldn't you know, I've seen it. Really! Just two weeks ago after more than thirty years. All those episodes and I get a repeat!Originally posted by Doggie
..... Actually they did progress into the Ardennes later on in the series.
A couple of episodes were set near the Alps:crazy: just so they could put real life Olympic skier Pierre Jalbert (Caje) on skis......
Found this section on a Combat! fan site: http://www.jodavidsmeyer.com/combat/dogfacetales/index.htm. ,consisting of stories based on Combat! by Mary Wright. Not bad as amature episodes, but the writing is a hoot. The first one almost made me choke with laughter.
