I need a guideline for how we are doing the dates, and who ever is in knowledgeable in that area needs to post them up along with the unit stats. This card is done except for the date. |
Date is 7/36. I'm trying to do a better job with the dates in the future.
AV is wrong. Should be 1 in first column and nothing after that.
Looks great.

Please take out the commas after "MG" and "hex" in the second SA.

I'm still opposed to Entwicklung.
The term can be translated into different things, unfortunately.
Either :
Envelopment (meant in your wargame article)
or
Development (in a non-tactical context)
Still, Entwicklung / Envelopment doesn't fit what the SA says.
It's more of an Enfilade Fire routine.
Schwerpunkt ( heavy point literally , main focus/point of attack contextually ) , in the same article, fits better to the SA effect. "The unit which formed the Schwerpunkt received the most support weapons and the largest ammunition supply, its success was reinforced vigorously."

I was going to use Cross-Training or try to think about something to do with tactical flexibility or focus. Schwerpunkt is too big for a squad.
How do you say "Teamwork" in German?

Gruppenarbeit (group-labor) / Zusammenarbeit (together-labor) / Zusammenwirkung (working together : fits best)
Gefechtsführung (the way fighting is done) sounds good too, though. But it doesn't mean anything specific.
Gefecht der verbunden Waffen (combined arms) is close, but not quite. Wrong scale.
German is a complicated language  |

Gefechtsführung it is. AoD, do we need the umlaut and the "h" both?
Mr. Buzzkill, please change "Entwicklung" to "Gefechtsführung."
Thank you.

Technically it is as is, but if you ditch the umlaut, I dont think anybody but a purist would mind. It would become :
Gefechtsfuehrung

I wasn't sure. We'll keep the umlaut. Sorry for questioning you.

Yes, please keep the umlaut.
Also, I know it is silly, but can you change July 1936 to Jul. 1936, just to be consistent with the rest of the cards, where it's Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May, Jun., Jul ...?
And a slightly more important one is to select all S.A. text, right click and choose Vertical Alignment: Middle. I've probably have a mistake in that infantry template, because I see Top Vertical Aligment in your card instead of Middle.
And a last one: In AAM it's counter, not marker. For consistency it's better to replace all references to marker with counter.

Done. Is there an easy way to do this? I ended up going to the charmap and copying and pasting into publisher.

Fixed. It was already set at middle, but the text wasn't centering. I found a bunch of text that had wrapped off the bottom and wasn't visible. Once I deleted that, it centered properly.

a with umlaut is alt+0228 (keep alt pressed and type 0228 at the numpad)
o with umlaut is alt+0246
u with umlaut is alt+0252
See for details: http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestion...ional/accents/codealt.html#accent

"Wehrmacht Infanterie" is way too generic, I think. It translates as "Armed Forces Infantry," more or less. The Wehrmacht includes the army, the air force, the navy and the SS! And there was a lot more infantry in the army (Heer), let alone the Wehrmacht, than Mauser riflemen.
Why not call it "Heer K98 Rifleman"? Heer is more accurate than Wehrmacht and only one syllable, and K98 is an accurate description of the rifle as well as not sounding like a "car" to English speakers. |

The Kar98 was more accurate than the Garand at medium and long range. I think you have them the other way around.

I figured number of shots outweighed accuracy. I'll switch it if you want.

Number of shots made a bigger difference in close range.
