Thanks for responding Tim.

I pretty much figured that I couldn't get anyone to agree after reading the True Colors of 425/17 thread. They really went after each other there! What I would like, and the reason for bringing up the issue again, is information that I don't have access to that members of the forum do. I can get just about any book I want since I work in a library, but original combat reports and actual photos are out of my reach. I do have an I idea of which scheme I favor, but I'm uncertain enough about it to seek outside help. What I would love is some photos that I can analyse myself, so I can make up my own mind. For instance, if I had a actual copy of the heavily disputed photo from my second scheme description, I could blow up the numbers and make up my own mind about it. The digital copies of the photo that were posted on the True Colors of 425/17 thread were too "pixelated" (is that a word?) for me to make up my mind one way or another. The same goes for the photo from Leaman's book. If I had a copy of the photo I could study, rhater than just a small photo in a book, that would be great. I'm still looking for that one bit of info that will sway my opinion. It basically boils down to a matter of indecision on my part.

In any case, thanks for the imput. I'm going to wait and see what else turns up.

Glenn

By the way, I love your C.G. artwork. AWESOME stuff!!!!!
