Ah Ove! You are most welcome.
An SPG means Self Propelled Gun. Usually its a large gun mounted on an open or fully enclosed structure on a tank hull. An example might be Soviet ISU152, SU76 or German Hummell or British Bishop. They are good in street fights because the gun is usually much larger than an ordinary tank carries and its effect on buildings is dramatic.
See you Monday!
Jagshemash!

Thanks for the explanation Steve. Yes, providing nothing unforseen is happening I'd like to join in the frolick, not too bothered about which side I play on, I'm equally comfortable with being called Comrade as with Mein Herr ;D!
Give me a gun and point me in the direction of the Enemy...

Right Ove
You can be in charge of the Panzer grendiers of the 3rd company of the recce battalion of Panzer renadier Division "Nordland" as this unit was almost entirely made up of Swedes!
Although you might want to be a Swedish communist unit in the Red Army!
Jagshemash!

In that case I'll have the Panzer Grenadiers, on the pure principles that my grasp of German is a lot better than Ruskie!!
Looking forward to this, thanks for the opportunity Steve.

Thanks for letting me participate. Sadly my forces got totally annihilated by too good dicerolls... Ah well, now that I know how the rules work a bit better, I'm up for giving it another go sometime.
Cheers Steve.
Vorverts!!!
