Hmmm, I was under the impression that the european theatre would not be considered "open". Isn't it europe (in the german area, specifically) that there is an average of one town/city every 1000 meters? That seems to indicate that the only open fighting would occur in the 1000 m between towns (that are frequently filled with forest, etc). derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG || ..!uunet!s5000!hawkmoon!det work(612)681-6986 voice(612)683-0413 data(612)683-0516 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
