@LordsOfTheGreenLeaf I agree, but I was concentrating on the often mispronunciation by English speakers of the "ei" & "ie". I tell people that to pronounce a German "ch" sound try sounding "h" whilst also sounding "k". Alternatively the "ch" in German is like the "ch" in the Scots word Loch. Thanks for the reply.
I've been a wargamer for 35 years and it never ceases to baffle me that gamers will spend an inordinate amount of time researching & painting their armies. But when it comes to getting the pronunciation of the units, in this case German units they never seem to research how to say the names correctly. Leichte Pioneer is not Lickter as Casey mispronounced but Lyekter, strangely similar to the English word light. In German "ei" is pronounced like eye whereas "ie" is pronounced like ee. Leib=Life
@gozzaoz Also, the CH isn't pronounced as a K. It's pronounced as a gutteral sound, as in Ahmed, more like a an Arabian KH than a hard K. And Infanterie is like infantry, only with longer sounding vowels. Een-fahn-ta-ree.
The whole north africa fight was by far my fav. The North Africa book is the shit and now early war north Africa I love it. I run a 16 M3 honey army and its nice to see i can get them in early war. I love early war to due the fact of no tigers/ king tigers. I love low tech early mid war flames of war. FYI i have a huge DaK force for mid war and i dont use tigers. You dont need them to win.

@n1cko1551 I agree, but do them as you play, not after each turn so we can see some of the crazy rules.
