Charles Carpenter, a captain in the US Army, who got to Europe in 1944, found himself in a very interesting situation. When he volunteered for service two years earlier , it was assumed that he was a pilot and would fight. But he was sent to investigate. In a light Piper L-4 Grasshopper, he flew ahead of the troops of Patton's fourth armored division and scouted the location of the Germans. Everything was fine, but Charlie wanted to fight - and he did not accept "peaceful" military work.
A tiny airplane with a 65-horsepower engine flew almost silently, literally walked over the heads of the Germans, who simply did not have time to react to the plane that slipped at arm's length (well, from the roof, yes). And, purely for luck, with the help of mechanics, he screws first four, and then six Bazooka anti-tank grenade launchers to his airplane. It would seem that their range is ridiculous for aviation applications - but not for the tiny Carpenter's flying craft. On it, he attacks German armored vehicles from a "pistol" distance, for which (inappropriate use of equipment) he almost gets court-martialed. Patton personally saves him, and he has already got Major Carpenter even a reward
The inspired major rushes into battle with renewed fervor, and by the end of the war, the Charlie Bazooka has six destroyed tanks, a bunch of light armored vehicles and participation in several ground battles. He just plopped down next to the soldiers who were in a difficult situation and helped them, with a bunch of bazookas on his shoulder. For such heroism, he was hanged a Silver Star and an Air Medal, and even made a lieutenant colonel.
However, immediately after the war, he was dismissed from the army for health reasons - but the experience was not forgotten. Ahead were Korea and Vietnam...

Cool very pleased that the mod is being updated and not abandoned )
Love the photos used for the big pictures

To die when landing on a minefield. Become a victim of the propeller of your own plane. Give up the ends, getting under the distribution for nothing. Many Axis commanders died on the Eastern Front under very complicated circumstances. In our selection — the most "distinguished" shots: those who were unlucky in death. And it serves you right.

The shot was took on the 9th of August 1942
The tank in question is a:
Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf J. (the late war version with long barrel KwK39/L60)
Heeresgruppe A
1 panzer armee
XXXX Panzerkorps
23 Pz.Div. II/201 PR
6 Kompanie
3 zug
3 panzer
Also all another tanks from the same Panzer Regiment had no any camo (summer 1942).
So the whole tank regiment had the same paint-scheme - Panzer Gray (RAL7021).

German anti-fascists. The White Rose Society. Autumn of 1942. In the picture, 23-year-old Christoph Probst (soldier, author of "Message to the Germans"), 24-year-old Hans Scholl (medical student) and his sister, 21-year-old Sofia Scholl (biology student). After their capture, Sofia was the first to have her head cut off. Their last words were " Long live Freedom!":
https://www.facebook.com/worldwarincolo ... e_internalI found an international community on the Internet, which has already put up about 5,000 colored non-staged pictures from the Second World War. The pictures were taken by military photographers from both sides of the front. I was attracted not by the colors, but by their uniqueness. In addition, each picture was accompanied by an explanation in English, what, where and when it was taken.
I'm not Uzbek, but it seems like a lot of progress has been made. I'm pleasantly surprised how many photos in color your team has managed to dig up.
Interesting photos with a description.Colleague_Boyd_From_The_CIA wrote: ↑Mon Sep 27, 2021 2:30 pm

The mod is still brilliant.
A little contradiction:
Minesweeper unit without minesweeper capability...Gazala Line - Afrika Korps
That is correct.terminator wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 9:23 amI picture that it takes a lot of time just for an aesthetic aspect of the Mod...

This mod is amazing and I am learning a tremendous amount of information (like the Polish Armored train carrying draisine tanks! It was like a little armored base). I have been looking up so many units because you gentlemen took the time and energy to name everything historically.
The map is a work of art and seeing the parts of a Corps go into action together and then watching a follow up Corps push through their breach is amazing. It is every bit like looking through a window into history as the great vintage movies you have attached. It is a wonderful strategic exercise and illustrative of how things can function at this high level of operations. You have combined a high level strategic viewpoint with an incredible amount of highly detailed work. It is stunning and you men really know your history. I noticed my 121st Kampf Geschwader had 2 stars compared to my other Strat Bombers who have 0, I haven’t been able to find the unit online but I know they must have fought in the Spanish Civil war and that is why they have more experience... you guys are just so knowledgeable and detail oriented that this makes sense. It is a great feeling to be able to trust your knowledge/attention to detail and just learn while playing the game (instead of having to verify if things being presented were factual/historical).
I have a few questions that I have not been able to find the answers to:
1) nachtritten, do they serve a practical purpose in the game or are they just for entertainment/looks?
2). Is there a quick and easy way to see if a unit is a core unit?
3). I have lost three core units (so far) in Poland but I don’t know what they were. When I get to Norway, is there some easy way to know what to buy to have a historical configuration? Example, should every named available Jagdgeschwader be purchased and in my core?
You gentlemen are incredible historians who can also make fun historical games. That is an impressive and very rare combination. It feels like I should be getting college credit for playing your mod (learning about history, strategy, equipment and engineering, etc.)!
It is getting harder to spark this old brain of mine so I want to say; thank you very much (playing your mod gets my synapses firing).
And as for details of maps, google maps is useful;) After all, this mod is to give players the joy of playing, but also some learning of the history of the Second World War. Hello fgiannet,fgiannet wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 2:49 pm Excellent! Thank you for the casualties hot key. I never knew that hot key but will be playing with the “show enemies moves/attacks” going forward. In fact, now that I have started to play this I am going to refrain from compulsively hammering through it like I have always done with every other strategy game I have ever played. It is too beautiful, too much of a masterpiece for more then one turn a day (“muuust....reeeesist....preeeessing......End of Turn button). All of that incredible detail and education should be appreciated like the great work of art or 40 year old scotch it really is!
Thank you for the unit strength panel info as well. I spent some time trying to find a difference but think I may have just been visually overwhelmed. EVERYTHING is so impressive (even “little” things like the street signs or the rail yard by Kolberg). My father was a craftsman and would repeatedly (apparently he had to...) tell me “a true craftsman only has one standard of work”. This mod is beyond even that. It is an elite level of design and attention to detail (as a former recon soldier I am very happy with the changes you have made to spotting ranges). The level of detail and care evident here is equivalent, in modding terms, to the level of a Mozart or Beethoven creating a great symphony.
You do a great service to the subject matter. You guys must really have a few spare cylinders in your head to be able to put such intelligence and hard work into this side project after knocking out your day jobs!
, we are pleased that we exceeded expectations.
