The M-1 Garand was officially adopted 9 January 1936 as the "U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1" ------------------ alea iacta est [email]sooperduk@hotmail.com[/email]

RE: M-1 as far as when it was in service, here are some numbers. Total produced: 1937 945 (5 months) 1938 5879 1939 16431 1940 79213 total 102548 (to date) So, as far as SPWAW is concerned I would think 1940 would be a good year for the M-1 to show up in Rifle squads. There were NEVER enough M-1's to go around, so M1903's should be seen in support units throughout the war esp. Engineers and artillery and MP's. The M-1 Carbine should show up in late '42. Primarily in gun crews and such, but they invariably found there way to Infantry units. Hope this info helps. ------------------ Semper Fi! Overlord

First, let me say, great game. The Matrix team should be proud of how they have undertaken such a formidable task as producing this game. Second, Thank you Seth, Voriax, and all others for your research, knowledge, and time; you make the game better for those of us who play it. Third, I have a suggestion to make that I feel would greatly enrich the gaming experience for those of us who are not experts on WWII military equipment: I have noticed that while the text files corresponing to various equipage exist in in the 'enc' directory of the game, none of these texts are displayed in the encyclopedia. I would hold it a good fortune if these texts were visible in the encyclopedia in future versions of SPWAW, as this makes the units seem less as a collection of numbers and more as actual objects. Further, as several people who have posted on the OoB topic display an in depth technical and historical knowledge of SPWAW's equipment, it might be quite useful to have some of them write some of the text for the encyclopedia. Just a suggestion, I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. Cheers, ------------------ Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus
