Blog, Blog, Blog… October 10th 2007

Filed under: From the Studio — billy @ 9:31 am

Hello everybody! It’s been a very busy period work wise for me. The Rock script is coming along very nicely and I’m now on issue #2. I sent #1 off to John for his review. I’m really proud of it. I had a good photo shoot with Solof on Sunday for the Issue #1. I’m also hoping to set up a shoot for the cover to #3 - Rock and the Tiger Tank. Though I took pics of my Rock (you know who he is — maybe) I didn’t have the bazooka. I might have to pose someone else with it. I’ll just have to see. Anyway, I’ve got a bunch of running around to do, finish the new Hellion today and do 3-5 pages of script.

The trouble with writing from historical events is to keep them interesting to those that aren’t really into all the details. I love the details, but aren’t sure if regular folks would care to know the following German Strength during the battle:

Units Supporting the 7th Regiment at la Haut Jacques:

10th Field artillery
Reconnaissance Company, 601st Tank Destoyer Battalion
Company A, 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion
Company D, 3rd Chemical Battalion (4.2 mortars)
Battery b, 441st Antiaircraft Battalion

German Armored Units Defending Bruyeres Sector
(detached from 21st Panzer Division)
Staff of Panzer Regiment 22
1st Battalion, Pz. Regiment 22 equipped wit h12 Panzer IV tanks
1st Battalion, Pz. Regiment 192, and 1st and 6th Company, Regiment 125, with 2 Panzer Werfer (rocket launchers) and one multiple rocket launcher (Screaming Meemie)

21 Panzer Division Strength in October 1944

19 self-propelled assault guns
19 Panzer IV
14 Panzer V (Panther)
1 to 3 Panzer VI (Tiger)
77 antitank guns (among them six to eight 88mms)

I’ll use this as a basis for the a coming Hellion and will go into much more detail on it. But of course what’s more important in writing this is what you leave out. It must be interesting and exciting, states yours truly, Mr. Obvious.
