From: Marshal Petain, Premier of France To: Jean de Lattre de Tassigny, Commander of Vichy forces in Tunisia Recent developments in Tunisia and the Mediterranean have presented our Vichy Government of France with problems that require immediate action. Under strong diplomatic pressure, military acc...

As you say, the flexibility of the 88 AAA gun is what make...

II/JG54_Emil You can take this as firing at targets above 3°, including aircraft. Do the targets above 3° include ground targets, such as tanks, vehicles, artillery, etc. ? If I had to choose which application to use the 88mm Flak 18 in this campaign, then it will have to be for its anti-tank role....

G'day, In positioning my units upon the template, like many of the Axis WW2 commanders, I have historically used the 88mm Flak unit as a "keystone" to my defence. Upon review of the guns capabilities in the technics file, I note that it has a "+3 pitch" notation added to a field ...

That would be close to ideal. It would be perfect if you could make slight adjustments to improve the turret traverse speed in the techniks file, but decrease the operational range by 30 kilometres in Navicat.

Thanks,
Warg

G'day, Upon review of the template in SEOW, I noted that the PzKw IVJ's, which I used, were replaced by PzKwF2's. Whilst acknowledging that the template author specified the F2, there was valid reason why I went with the J model. This is based upon armament, frontal armour charcteristics and histori...

Thanks 4Shades, Your post has confirmed my fears. I did not realise that this scenario starts "mid campaign" and at a fluid stage of the battle. Some of those unit dispositions on maps shown in other posts are already obsolete. Mr Ikey, I hope you're reading this, interpreting it correctly...

If Veprem salient is included in operations, then there should be inclusion of defending German forces in the front line that runs from the right flank of the 7th Panzer, east to at least Veprem.

G'day, Before starting to lay down objects in my designated area of the template using the full mission builder, I'd like to clear up some queries that come to mind when assessing the order of battle. These are: 1. I note on the map, that many of the artillery, tank and vehicular types do not show ...

G'day, Ah, "old blood and guts", General George S Patton. Armoured specialist, soldier, leader, historian and great humanitarian. Actor George C Scott really nailed the role. Is nice to see you back on the forums Brandle. Haven't seen you about lately and am sure Patton would be just the m...

Yeah, go the whole front. Will be interesting to see how the troops perform in the face of a full on tank assault.

I wouldn't say that using a heavier tank as a command tank is making the most effective use of that type of vehicle. The heavier armoured vehicle, which usually had a more potent weapon is much more effective in the gun line. A headquarters tank (or Bef vehicle) had enhanced radios communication gea...

G'day 4Shades, Just a note following our earlier discussion on TS3. As Faustnic mentioned, those Pzkw I's are probably Bef HQ vehicles, though I'd guess that the Germans might be using outmoded Pzkw III's with dummy main gun armament for the same purposes. Personally, I'd be making all the Pzkw I's ...

Unfortunately, not just a quick fix, am up for a new computer.

Afraid, we'll have to wait another fortnight or so before I'm back and up and running again.
