When I originally designed the Soccer tournament, I considered
having an early version of it, which ended up being cancelled. This
also lets us focus on one tournament during that week.

good chance that the Soccer tourney will go long enough to overlap
with the beginning of the Skirmish.

The_Chieftain: Odd. He's my Midway/Saipan captain. Got sent a list
of proposed USN names about two weeks ago to expand the options.
They wanted us to check that there were no lewd or unfortunate name
combinations. Didn't see any, but I did ask how many 'Nigels' they
thought were in the US.

the British would tend to employ the Fireflies as a 4th tank in a
troop of 4 Shermans, the other 3 being 75 or 76mm tanks. They also
tended to get picked off 1st. Check out the disruption pattern
camouflage on the barrel of most Fireflies - they tried to deceive
the Germans into thinking they were 75mm guns.

of the European Theatre of the U.S. Army on 'how long it took a

historian Dominick Graham sounded the alarm that memory 'is
particularly unreliable after a subject has talked to other peple,
compared notes, and repeated his story many times. By then,
he may no longer tell trugh from fiction." (pp. xvi xvii of the
introduction to this book)
Furysghost, on Jun 09 2016 - 01:58, said: While many authors like to lay the blame for armored losses on
Patton and his refusal to develop bigger gunned tanks, that blame
lies with McNair and his shortsighted policies (he was more
concerned with the logistics of an additional vehicle and caliber
to support) that did not reflect the current state of combat. This
is an excerpt from a letter by General McNair to General Devers who
strongly pushed for M26 production and deployment: (Pershing)
" The M4 tank, particularly the M4A3, has been widely hailed
as the best tank on the battlefield today. There are indications
that the enemy concurs in this view. Apparently, the M4 is an ideal
combination of mobility, dependability, speed, protection, and
firepower. Other than this particular request—which represents the
British view—there has been no call from any theater for a 90 mm
tank gun. There appears to be no fear on the part of our
forces of the German Mark VI (Tiger) tank... There can be no basis
for the T26 tank other than the conception of a tank versus tank
duel—which is believed unsound and unnecessary. Both British
and American battle experience has demonstrated that the antitank
gun in suitable number and disposed properly is the master of the
tank. Any attempt to armor and gun tanks so as to outmatch antitank
guns is foredoomed to failure... There is no indication that the 76
mm antitank gun is inadequate against the German Mark VI (Tiger)
tank" It is clear that McNair did not understand the realities of
armored combat as in the Bolded section he both shows ignorance of
the reality of M4s facing the Tiger and that he was strongly wedded
to the tank destroyer doctrine in that a tank to tank duel is
"unsound and unnecessary". The tone of the letter is also
insulting in that it insinuates that Devers is promoting the
"British view" versus Devers's deeply held views. While many people
mourned his death via friendly fire in 1944 during a bombing raid,
I truly believe for the reasons stated above he was the worst US
general in WWII as he had an influence in training, selection of
leadership, and equipment selection that worked to the detriment of
US forces.

anti-tank infantry teams, teller mines, or towed AT guns like the
Flak 88, in all fairness. (and arguably would have been worse
against two of them). When I did my assessment of crew killed per
lost tank in the video, the 'loss' was for all causes, not only
panzers. I suspect that the crews in question weren't all that
worried about the minor detail of just what it was that killed
their tank, as much as the question of 'well, we just got knocked
out, am I going to survive?' And, of course, the figures for
Armored Force personnel losses in general are also irrespective of
cause.

that fireflies were, in practice, shot at first. Certainly the
firefly crews may have held that opinion, and camouflaging the gun
barrels certainly wouldn't have hurt anything, but if the Germans
agreed with it, remains to be proven to my mind. Outside of Italy,
British forces didn't use 76mm M1 tanks, though Polish forces did
later in the war, so could find occasional firefly with 76mm tanks.

The_Chieftain: I don't disregard eyewitness accounts. I evaluate them, and
disregard those which seem unreasonable. To quote my article on the
subject: "It is up to the reader to make his or her personal
determination as to the accuracy of anything in the book. It is
likely that the things he personally saw are somewhat close to
fact. But statements about machinations seven pay grades higher
than him and several hundred miles away are a little more suspect."

review the next day. Had we written our memories separately, and
had a third party compare them, one would think we had been
involved in a half-dozen different battles.

little evidence to support the fact that those opinions had a
significant effect on the realities on the ground. He never stopped
Ordnance from developing new equipment, his position did not seem
to cause any significant delay in the implementation of M26. I
think your last line is contradictory: Considering the task the man
was faced with, and that he was overall responsible for training
and equipping the US Army which did so well in the war in the
Pacific, CBI, Africa and Europe, I submit he did an
outstanding job. His opinion on tank combat may have been wrong,
but it seems to have not caused significant problem with the one
exception of HVAP ammunition, and focusing on one single issue
(that of the tank gun) when his responsibility lay on everything
from fuel trucks and shower tents through artillery
ammunition and tanks is disingenuous.

think they are cats, may be exceptions. You may have the best armor
in the world, but unless presented with a good reason not to,
you're still going to add more, just because you want to reduce
every chance possible. As mentioned, both German and allied
tank crews were inclined to add armor as they could, despite the
recommendations of the engineers. The difference is that the
Germans generally followed their engineers' advice, and Americans
generally did not (exception of Patton, who enforced it
vigorously).
