[quote=Gen. Sandworm][quote=Gen. Sandworm]So what things do you study exactly?? I know you study wars but to you study indepth tactics. For instance the (example) British Raid on Deippe. What was successful and why it didnt work. Or do you study much larger operations?? Is it rather basic or very indepth and to the point. Just thinking it might be a good thing to study one day since im interested in it.

Just curious

I really didnt see any good response to this…could someone help???[/quote]

Do we study in any great detail? Yes and no. We’re supposed to look at ww2 strategically i.e. the bigger picture. However we are expected to make presentations, about one a fortnight, on a specific operation for example i did Monte-cassino, Kursk and stalingrad, the Arctic convoys, North Atlantic and others which i can’t remember. So, you can do more tactical stuff if you want but definitely not until 2nd year.[/quote]

Well you might be interested in a book that i have called “Collins Atlas of the Second World War” ISBN: 0-681-97062-6

I’m a Master of Engineering as of today! - I get ‘MEng (Hons) AMRAeS’ after my name. I’m also struggling to type this, thanks to many pints in the Darkley. 2:1 for me, hooray!

Do you like Lincolnshire Inbreds then? :twisted: Ritzy in Sleaford of a Saturday night is the local meat-market (since they closed the Ag College at Caythorpe) and the George at Leadenham is a damn good pub as is the Hairy Mound (Hare and Hounds) at Fulbeck. Oh and the cafe at Byards Leap does the best post-session fry up. :lol:
