One more question:

What are the green and red marks in the upper left sky? Are these some sort of waypoint markers, or something?

I have looked at this picture for 5 minutes, zooming in in photoshop and scanning around....


WHAT red and green marks are you talking about, or are you trying to make people like me insane?????????

Yes! We must have more and better clouds!

The clouds we already have are really pretty inadequate for launching ambushes or ducking out of a fight. They're too small and often scattered. Some of my favorite fights have been ducking in and out of the clouds playing hide-and-go-seek. GVs have plenty of trees to hide in, so let's have more clouds!

Oh, and while you're at it, can we have clouds hide icons entirely, not just make them difficult to see? Sort of defeats the purpose of ducking into clouds in the first place if an enemy can still track you by your icon.

Aye, the image was Skuzzified. Or was it Pyrofied? Or maybe Waffle-fied? No, no, "Waffled".

Indeed, it has been "fixed"

Here's a cople of links to the text about the Hedgerows fighting and the final solutions that were implemented to accomplish the breakout. There is also a picture of the Rhino device constructed for the Shermans. I also linked a larger pict of the device. It took about 20-30 minutes to find specific info about the device, but it was well worth the effort. Really some interesting reading. If we're going to have hedgerows in the new MA terrain, it would kinda be necessary to have these devices available for movement, or we're gonna see a lot of bottlenecks everywhere, just like happened in RL untill Cullen and his Rhino came along. Omar Bradley gave him a medal for the solution to the Allies deadlock.


"Culin's device soon got the attention of the chain of command within 2nd Armored Division and V Corps. On July 14th, General Bradley attended a demonstration of Culin's hedgerow cutter. Bradley watched as Sherman’s mounting the hedgerow device plowed through the hedgerows "as though they were pasteboard, throwing the bushes and brush into the air." Very impressed by the demonstration, Bradley ordered the chief of the First Army's Ordnance Section to supervise the construction and installation of as many of the hedgerow cutters as possible. The First Army Ordnance assembled welders and welding equipment within the beachhead and from the rear areas in England to assist with the project. Welding teams used scrap metal from German beach obstacles to construct most of the hedgerow cutters. In a remarkable effort from 14th to the 25th of July, the First Army Ordnance Section produced over 500 hedgerow cutters and distributed them to subordinate commands for installation. By late July sixty percent of the First Army's Sherman’s mounted the hedgerow-cutting devices. Though the most famous of the hedgerow-reducing devices, Culin's rhinoceros was only one of many such contrivances invented and employed throughout the First Army."

Won't see Rhinos ever because they'd require deformable terrain, and that's just not possible in AH.

We'd just have to allow the GV the ability to go thru the hedgerow IF it was equipped with one of these. Could possibly be a Perked item for the GV's? Just speculating ya understand....
