Re: Taking the Tip - Port Said, 1956 AAR -Weeble

This was on test version 1.000, when the Paras still had (the wrong) assault rifles etc. Believe me it was hard even then!

Re: Gun Tube Orientation.

This new "feature" is causing me real problems. I'm ex-RAF not armour, but not being able to face your turret toward an 'anticipated threat' is I believe a retrograde step.
