The Bolt out of the Blue 10.0 Beta

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

Some location changes for what is called in the game 3 Brigade 1st Infantry Division. In reality this brigade, with whom I served during the period covered in the game, was known as the 1st Infantry Division (Forward)--or 1st ID (F). We were an independent brigade under corps control during peace time, and in time of war our GDP plan (I am guessing this is no secret any more!) was to be under the operational control of the German 12th Panzer Division. In the game, the brigade HQ and 4/16 Infantry start in Boblingen. In reality both were at Goeppingen. Also, 2-5 Arty is shown as starting in Boblingen, when in actuality it was based at Schwabisch Gumund. Minor stuff, I know, but hey, when I play Bolt and 4/16 Infantry gets shot up, I take it personal!!

I'm assuming that is the battalion that served as Tower Guards for our Pershing Missiles at Combat Alert Site.  I was in the Infantry Platoon assigned to A 1/81 FA.  80-82.
