Why would they do this, You shoot a medic or don't. Why would they wait for him to finish what he was doing before opening up on him? | Well to be honest if you saw an American running out to one of your men who was dieing in a field, would you fire at him with the possibility that he is a medic trying to save your mate?
It differs to be honest. For example i'm sure that on D-Day medics would have been killed by the German MG's raking the beaches or if in the Bocarge the Germans saw a head (without knowing it was a medic) they would shoot as it posed a threat. To the Germans at Brecourt Don Malarkey seemed like a medic. When they realised that he wasn't they fired at him.
Bunker this looks like a good game (I am one of the main gamers on the forums by the way) but just a point on the Sgt model.
I thought that in the main Sgt's didn't have stripes on the front of their helemts, they only had the horazontal stripe at the back and it was only Officers who had their ranks on the front.
Correct if I am wrong.

Poem found on the body of a British Soldier killed in Northern Ireland:
"Do not stand on my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush ....
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die."
Berlin Cemetery:
Berlin Cemetery's a funny place,
there's seven graves and then a space,
I thought a while, and then I knew,
those seven were a bomber crew.
