An Officer’s Answers

00:51:00 – Timothy Anderson asks “Why did the Brits stop painting camo in normandy. Look at the greys tanks in Italy, then they go to Normandy and don’t bother, even though apparently the paint was available?”

01:10:40 – Luke Daley asks “Do you think Swedes in TY will be a good army if they’re ever done by BF? I personally think they will be quite defensive but will lack quality in certain areas (lack of AA, poor choice in artillery, no dedicated attack helicopters). Mediocre infantry and nice sneaky-but-vulnerable tanks.”

01:13:00 – William White asks “Kangaroos, yes or no?”

Military Operation or…

Look, my misspent youth was Sea Cadets, Plane Spotting and Wargaming, not ornithology… – Lee
