Status: offline 		I thought I'd begin a service where we all can store the great names we think up for AARs that we may or may not ever get the chance to use. I mean, that's the whole reason we play this game, isn't it? We start a campaign game with someone so we can start an AAR for it that we can give a great name to. But what if we think up a great name but never get the chance to use it? This way we can think up the name, place it here for storage so we won't forget, or maybe someone else can use it instead of the lame name they come up with on their own. So here's my first entry, and hopefully not the last:

"Hit me with your best shot - Fire Away!"
... perfect for a game with no HRs

You come on with it, come on
You don't fight fair
But that's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again
Hit me with your best shot
Why don't you hit me with your best shot
Hit me with your best shot
Fire away

Actually on the hills holding the oil/fuel to take advantage of the gravity to help move the liquids.

A StuG was not a tank. It as manned not by tankers but by cannon cockers as a mobile artillery piece. Sometimes also known as an assault gun.

Status: offline 		That vehicle is camouflaged - it was either already there when the parachute came down or came afterward - like at Arnhem. I did air drops of graders and bulldozers and I can tell you that parachute is wayyyyy too small for the job.

Also, weren't the air transportable vehicles mostly carried on gliders, rather than air dropped? We had to put about three feet of honeycomb cardboard under the vehicles we dropped to keep the engine from tearing loose and the tires from collapsing.

You're correct, of course! The picture caption mentions a British parachute in front of a StuG, but it was the only way I could fuel my dumb drop tank pun. Phew, tough crowd here...
