	Wendell Fountain in WW2
		Operation HUSKY was the largest landing prior to the Nomandy Invasion.
		However, the defense of the invasion at Salerno was so intense at one point that the general in charge, General Mark Clark, had to arm as infantry two artillery battalions, the regimental band, all the HQ orderlies, and the cooks in order to avoid getting surrounded by the Germans at the Battle of Ponte Bruciato.
		Originally, this operation was called ANVIL but the name was changed because it was believed the German’s had discovered the significance of the code word.

	Operation Nordwind
		As the army group slowly made the transition from offensive to defensive operations, its commanders recognized that their long curving front lines were particularly unsuited for the new mission.
		Under the operational control of the First Army, one panzer grenadier and one infantry division would punch a hole in the American Sarre River valley defenses, while four refitted infantry divisions would push off from the Bitche area along a southwest axis of advance through the Vosges.
		On 1 January, as NORDWIND began, he informed General Touzet du Vigier, a emissary of Juin, that SHAEF had required the 6th Army Group to fall back to the Vosges, thus temporarily relinquishing Strasbourg to German control.

		NORDWIND was intended to provide a synergistic complement to Army Group B's efforts in the Ardennes, by distracting the Americans' focus away from the Ardennes, and by physically and politically splitting the Franco-American allied efforts in Alsace.
		Nordwind was a German offensive made at the same time as the more famous Ardennes offensive.

		Nordwind: Again, another nice map, although I was in back-flag duty the whole time, so no real comments.
		Nuenen: I had fun on this map, actually, except when it got hairy in the city, as that's when storms of lag would overwhelm me. Although having to walk all the way to the city from main base only to get shot was annoying.
		Nordwind was a blast, and it did seemed pretty balanced.

		I substitute traditional washes with an operation that might be described as "post-shading".
		I spray a very thin mix of XF-64 Red Brown and XF-1 Flat Black (70/30 ratio brown to fl) in a fine line along edges of panels and camouflage colours, and into all the areas of shadow and shade where a wash would ideally flow.
		The key is subtlety and a fair amount of control, as well as a degree of confidence in your airbrush.
