Don't think any garands where issued, I guess the US needed all the garands they could get. There were some thompsons in western europe, but these were probably troops not wanting to swap them for a sten gun after the African campaign. Again, the us had to stop selling them to the brits because they needed to equip their own army.Out of interest - did Brits etc. ever get issued with Garand rifles or Thompsons in W Europe? I have a feeling at some point they did trials with the M1 but found they could achieve an equally high accurate ROF bolting their enfields - can anyone shed light on this?
One question for you Aeneas -- why don't you guys update your front page? If it wasn't for the RO forums, I would have NO IDEA that this mod was so close to release as it actually is. I mean, the newest update on the site page is from October... no mention of beta testing, and none of the later press releases.
Am I missing something? Is there some updated website in some hidden magical land that I am not aware of?
Well, to be completely honest, there is no reason at all why you guys should be letting this happen... it's been since October! It's kind of a kick in the face that all the hard work you've done on this project is kind of evaporating because many people don't know about any of it.It was a lack of communication from the website crew who aren't around very much. Myself being one of them
We are planning on moving over to a new Joomla site and work had commenced a few months back. However it seems to have stalled for the time being. However the old site hadn't been updated as certain people weren't made aware of the stalled progress
I'll be making temp updates to the old site now I know over the next few days and will continue to do so until our new site is ready to go
Don't worry I've been stripped and flogged by Aeneas in person
