At least thats what i thought until the battle was over and the screen changed and annonced:
Captured staff
Your position was overrun by the enemy.
Some of your staff were capturd.
You will be assigned replacements for your lost staff. No harm done Vebber has been replaced by Hauptman Heidrich. The kampfgruppe will still have the name Kampfgruppe Vebber in honor of its first leader... A strange way to lose my leader dont you think? Voyrep

Easy to pass them by and then have them pop up behind you - the designer keeping us on our toes. This is also very much true of the second battle, the one where you shoot a lot of NCO candidates - perhaps not such a bad idea after all - suddenly a fairly fresh Svoiet squad will stumble out of the woods and start shooting. I make a sweep thru all hexes I can get to as a routine action, almost always I find some nasties in the woodpile. Oh my God, Heidrich!! Bing PS. Not to worry - I had my commander killed. And he still kicked butt according to the after report. Haputman Vebber's ghost prowling the battlefield, quite a mental image it is.

We must immediately petition the Russians to ensure that he is being treated properly in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.

Hauptmann Vebber has already acknowledged the crime of the aggressive war against the peace loving people of the Soviet Union, and is trying to make good as much as he can by contributing to the success of Great Mother Russia in a Siberian labor camp. AC

Perhaps we will be permitted to send him some Spam thru the International Red Cross.

I do not belive that the Red Cross will contribute to the torture of a POW.

And I thought Texas was a hotbed of culture compared to Louisiana. Spam is one of the greatest inventions in human history. It is a wonderful delicacy (Best sliced and fried in pan with little or no grease, BTW.). Spam and pork n' beans makes one of the most wonderful meals imaginable. Sending him Spam would certainlly raise his spirits, especially if he could find a way to thaw it out.

Indeed a guilty pleasure. "Sliced thin and fried hard," Mom used to say. I'll have the spam, spam, eggs and spam please.
