[quote author=Cranialwizard link=topic=3603.msg37188#msg37188 date=127608392 Oh, it's on  I send in 2 Strelky squads to hide behind a stone wall and fire at the engineers with their rifles. They kill the engineers and wound the riflemen before disappearing into the fog of war. Meanwhile, I was upgrading a mortar, and now that I have it thanks to diversions, I open fire on the bridge, with Strelky leading the way, and the Mortar blowing apart the edges. Then the strelky and the mortar hide behind sandbags. My loosely held bridge! [/quote] Effective attack my friend.

Good deal! If you ever get a chance, get an M41. I only have 2 but the average price for a decent original is $150 at the moment. Needless to say they're a good investment.

I build 3 squads of engineers with flamthrowers, 2 infantry with BAR's, 2 M16 Halftracks, and 4 57mm guns. I spank the forces on the bridge, partially destroy the defense just enough to let my men through, rebuild the defenses, place 2 57's on each end with an engineer, infantry and M16 on each end.
My textbook defense bridge!

I kill the socialist in charge of the bridge, I then proceed to sell it to a small business who can, without government regulation, toll its use then use that money to pay workers to maintain it so those workers can support their families and the bridge is always maintained making it the optimal choice for crossing that river. The process repeats from the toll, thus a very positive move for the COH economy!

Just to let you guys know, school NEVER ENDS MUHAHAHAHAHA! No really, it doesn't. I graduated from High School and was like YES!!! Then I went to Basic Training for the Air Force, then tech SCHOOL for my job and I was like NO! Then I finished and was like YES! Then I'm gonna move down to Brazil for two years and have to LEARN a new language and I was like NO!!! Then after that I will go to college and I was like NO!!! All in all guys, put total focus into your schooling. I wish I had. Learn good habits now so your future can be easier.

I dont collect much, simply because it expensive, but i got some good stuff.
An American feild jacket made in 1943.
An original WWI doughboy helmet.
DDR officers hat.
Spanish-German helmet.
Russian Fur parade hat.
Mosin Nagant.
Confederate money.
not to mention all the belts, ammo pouches, ammo boxes, and other small stuff.
Amen on the expensive part, I paid $350 for a pair of AN6530 flight goggles  ! The American Jacket you mention, is it an M41 'Parsons jacket' or the M43 jacket? Post pics if you aren't sure. Hey there, outstanding list of ecuipment you guys have. I do not consider myself a colecter but i have a couple of so called war merit crosses, from Germany stored in a box somewhere on my ceiling. could be awesome if you guys posted some pics from your collection.
I'll wrangle up some photos of some of my collection.

Here are few of my pride and joys!        These are some older photos. I've added a British Type C helmet, B8 goggles, AN6530 goggles, A-14 oxygen mask, and an M3 Flak helmet. You can see all those partially in this last photo.  There is of course a lot more, but that would require a lot of effort to drag out.

Hi, gents, I'm curious if there are any other militaria collectors besides me in the forum. This does NOT include those who buy a reproduction 101st 506 easy company impression then claim they're are god. I'm talking about collectors that buy REAL, ORIGINAL militaria. What do you collect, when did you start, and what started it? Just basically, as well as any tidbits like fun or rare pieces that you may own. I'll start off. I collect World War 2 Army Air Forces memorabilia. Mostly flight gear i.e. helmets, oxygen masks, goggles, high altitude leather jackets/pants, flight suits, etc. as well as Class 'A' dress uniforms wearing any AAF patches, preferably named to an actual individual. My most prized uniform is a Enlisted tunic with the early 'Pinewheel' insignia as well as 18th pursuit group DUI's that was owned by a gentleman that was stationed at Wheeler Field when it was attacked during December 7th, 1941. I've been collecting since I was a young kid, mostly motivated by my dad's service in the military. I was further motivated to do specifically AAF now that I'm in the USAF myself. Feel free to post any pics of ww2 militaria that you are unsure of and those of us here may be able to identify it for you! I'd love to hear others. Even those who have hand-me-down equipment and/or uniforms from fathers or grandfathers who were there!

Hmmmm..... You always learn something new. I always thought the Gebirgsjäger was a division sized unit, I didn't know it was more like a corps. Good info, THANKS!

I was thinking more of a hypothetical combat scenario. Who would come out on top? Both units fought in Italy yet they never fought each other. I'm mostly curious on who people think would win. I had an argument with a german friend of mine on the same subject. I wonder what others think in a hypothetical situation involving two of the most trained mountain warfare units in history!

What's the 10th mountain division? The US mountain troops or something?
Yes, they both pretty much the exact same thing (I'm sure people can argue the crap out of this though) 10th mountain is a US mountain force and of course the Gebirgsjager is a German force.

I see where you're going, however this will take conscript spam to a whole new level. The only way I could ever see this come to past is if the upgrades also decrease the combat effectiveness of the squads.
