UPDATE: Web-Grognards, 14/9/97 From: Alan Poulter <alan@poulter.demon.co.uk> Date: Sun, 14 Sep 1997 00:00:00 +0000 Hi, The 4CDs Challenge has been won by Per-Olof Gromark who was the first to answer correctly that the quote:- 'The scenario starts with the Germans ready to launch another 48th Panzer Korps counter-attack. Both sides have received substantial replacements and reinforcements. The map indicates the at-start Korps/Army locations and their historic axis of advance'. came from the manual for 'Fire Brigade' (Panther Games), designed by Dave O'Conner and recognise the Grognards Challenge game (answer below). A copy of Close Combat 2, donated by the sponsers of the 4CDS Challenge, 4CDs Strategy and Wargame Shop, will be on its way to him! The Previous Grognards Challenge: James M.
