  9. Airpower at Omaha Beach

    10,000 Gomens, Should have spoken about FFAR/HVAR 5" Some 100/100 CAS would have done the job
  10. Airpower at Omaha Beach

    LVT's Totally agree with CalBear on LVT's at Omaha would have reduced casualties on the beach, would have to look at beach exits/slope for use inland. Would the height of an LVT (any variant) help in the hedgerows in spite of the minimal armor protection. (Ronsons?) Regarding the original...

  16. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    10,000 gomens Sorry Calbear, Instead of getting off the debating the moral issues track, we appear to have gotten now on the whole Regiment/Bn track, having read all you have written, I wondered if it could be explained by your personal experience in (whatever) service you may have. Like the...
  17. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Identity CalBear you have ID'd yourself from CA and a Giants fan (at least you are not a Cubs fan). However, from all of your timelines I have a strong guess that you have stood on the yellow footprints at MCRD. That would give you a different perspective! You should team up with Tsouras...
