    And remember to like Vogon poetry

    I hope you are right, but I am trying to manage my expectations. I am so looking forward to this....I just don't want to be one of those "why isn't it out yet!" types.

    Regretfully, I think you are probably correct.

    I don't remember many diesel locomotives in Germany when I lived there. The ones I saw were electric - (one of our sister battalions lost a guy who climbed on top of his GOER during a rail trip to Hohenfels). I am sure there were some diesels, but I don't remember seeing them. I bet that adding all the wires to the map would be a real hassle, though, so I am sure we will be getting petro powered.

    There are a lot of us Cold Warriors out here waiting for the same thing. Not sure how realistic the whole thing is going to be, but I am hoping that the old stomping grounds are going to be shown in some detail. The buildings they have shown in some of the preview vids are at least VERY representative of the type we had, so it won't be too far off. Not sure they could go all out, though. I mean, in Ffm alone, there were a LOT of Kasernes, and then the outskirts like Eschborn, Hoetch etc. We need the major places where the heliports were.....

    This is SO true. Give it to us, we wants it, oh, wait, it isn't perfect!

    Will the church steeple in Marburg still be crooked?

    Genau....

    Some of the things that we are missing from the "ground pounder" point of view: mine fields and anti-tank ditches. Without the ability to channelize the attacking RedFor, it makes it harder to get the invading forces into the kill boxes for the air component. (Of course, the whole GDP depended on three days of prep work by the combat engineers to dig the ditches, lay the mines and build our berms - not sure whole realistic that whole plan was.)

    The M60A3 is appropriate for most NATO units up until about 1984 or so. For those of us wanting to do late 70s (ok, yes, I am an old man reliving my youth) other than the RedEye I think we are fairly well covered.

    As a guy who has driven a 577 around the Vogelsberg area during December, in the freezing rain/sleet/spitting snow, trust me. Winter in Fulda is NOT a fun time.....

    I have put money in savings so that whenever it drops I can buy it straight away.

    We would really need Bad K. Those 8th ID guys need somewhere to be when the alert sounds....

    I was looking forward to Hohenfels, Grafenwoehr and Vilseck....but I guess I'll have to keep waiting.

    I think most of us would be interested in VERY VERY early access! Patience has never been my long suit. I will be honest though, and say that my main interest is in the actual Fulda Gap region and flying helicopters. Retired Army, so I spent my time on the ground in the Gap, not flying over it. I am really enjoying the videos that have the jeeps driving around....it is looking SO good.

    I was assigned to the Clinic at Yakima Firing Center. Permanent party at a firing range is always "fun"....

    The road from Bad Hersfeld to Fulda would be a great chopper flight, or Alsfeld to Lauterbach. Take a Huey down either 7 or 27 at about 500 feet....When I get the map, I'm taking a jeep from Friedberg on 275 to Lauterbach, then the 254 to Alsfeld. I want to see how close it is to what reality was....

    I would love the TOW Cobra (NATO USAREUR 70/80) since we are getting the Gap map. Or an OH-58B. (As long as I am dreaming, let's ask for a F-105D as well...it IS Easter Bunny time!)
  20. OneEyeRoss
    Oh, just jump in like the rest of us and buy it straight away. If you are a F-15 jock or A10 driver, it is THE war they were made for.

    How many GI's dropped a lot of their paycheck on Kaiserstrasse? I only went to see what all the noise was about....you know, to observe the locals & stuff.
  22. OneEyeRoss
    Wild Chicken. Only went there a few times. Once as a tanker, once as a medic with a Combat Engineer battalion. They were blowing stuff up, so we had to bring the band aid box.

    Alert? Lariat Advance! Send the GOERS to the ASP and get loaded! Heading to the GDP! Break out the small arms. (APR 1976, 3AD - when we started breaking out the small arms ammo I got worried.....just an exercise to judge how long it took us to get combat loaded).....

    Ausgezeichnet!! Vielen danke!
