Actually, I'll let it sit for now, at least I didn't spell panzer as panzur..lol.. I don't know who Andrew is by user name. I'm trying to learn German here in Germany and it's easy to get jumbled up with spelling and grammar between languages; some things are very similar in the languages but it's very easy to get thrown off course. Nebelwurfer/nebelwerfer was a totally random decision for a user name and actually have never used the unit in my PG games. The German translation means something like "fog thrower", and I remember it mentioned from 'Sgt Rock' comic books in my youth, where they seemed to have a section in almost every issue listing German units by name. I know I can't be the only one to have had a collection of 'Sgt Rock' comics along with 'The Unknown Soldier' and 'Weird War' from DC comics.... then there were the Charleston comic series such as 'Fightin' Army', etc.. the funny thing is that "wurfel" actually means cube or dice in German so perhaps there is a joke in the mispelling itself.
