Nice job!

Thank you Der Kuenstler, it's only a way to show my gratitude to PoorOldSpike for his very instructive posts.

By the way, INFANTRY MOVEMENT ORDERS.pdf have been added to the list and to the big archive too.

added Guns_vs_Tanks.pdf to the list, and to the zip file.

It is illustrating the requirements for a leader to boost a gun's accuracy.

best regards

Holy mother of god, that is awesome!

I'll be using this for something someday, and everyone will get credit for the reference!
