                        We can call it a "Muse Break" then... "Muse at 11"?... "In the Muse"... "Evening Muse"... "Not Nessessarily the Muse"...

                        I'm glad to be of service. It should be a neat one to see. Ironic, I take my middle name from a hunting goddess, not one of the Muses.

                        The guys would have cleared each building so they probably were in a lot of china shops.

                        Actually, it inspired me.. A 34th ID Sherman from the 1/194 armor crashin' thru the wall of a china shop in Livorno... I can see it now.. "Red Bull in a China Shop"...

                        I have a pretty  off sense of humor.  Well you did say it was a street. I'm sure most neighborhoods had someplace that sold china in the days before Chinette, from cheap white ware to good stuff.  The guys would have cleared each building so they probably were in a lot of china shops.

                        I thought about "The Matador", but it didn't seem right.

                        Yes, it would.  The shelving, counters, and crates would makes good makeshift barricades, plus the troops could raid the inventory, plus the large windows would make the front prone to collapsing large enought for a tank to fit.

                        Bear and bull makes me think stock market or when they used to have a bear and a bull fight in a ring.
                         

                        Yeah, some play on "Bulls and Bears" was my first thought, which may end up in a mixed scale shadow box yet... I'm kinda partial to the 34th Infantry Division, so my US Armor tends to focus on the Red Bull Division from N.Africa to Anzio to Southern Iraq (17 of my 30 years in the Army and Army Guard, I wore the Red Bull on m' shoulder)... 

                        "A Bear Market" would work if I make the bottom floor of the building a grocery store, wouldn't it...

                        Bear and bull makes me think stock market or when they used to have a bear and a bull fight in a ring.  What unit is the Brummbarfrom?  Maybe play off that. I threw in a Latin (I don't speak Italian and that's as close as I could get.) suggestion and a German one.

                        "A Bear Market"

                        "Ursa Major"

                        "The Trojan...Bear?"

                        "Bear Essentials"

                        I'm currently working up a Sturmpanzer Brummbär dio that I need a title for... It's in an Italian urban setting, hidden inside a two-story bombed-out building.  Two crewmen are in the hatches with a Panzergrenadier squad leader up on the fender talking with the crew and all are looking down the street with the squad leader pointing in the direction of the expected Allied avenue of approach, or perhaps pointing out where his grenadiers will be positioned with Panzershreks and Panzerfausts... It doesn't matter...

                        I just can't come up with a clever title...   "Urban Grizzly" "Bear Cave", and "Don't Feed the Bears" were the lame ones that rolled around in m'head, but I don't like 'em...  It's sister dio, with a 34th ID scout unit in half-tracks coming up the same street a few blocks down was easy, "Bulls on a Bear Hunt" is the title... (34th ID is the "Red Bull" division in case you were wondering) 

                        Any thoughts?
