G-force

Is five the number of letters?

[bookbinder]

This could be more helpful. Any letters placed? Is there a better clue?

[Mamyalynne]

That's the whole clue.

[bookbinder]

Thanks, Mamya. No wonder that I find modern X-word clues (in the past 3 or 4 years) so difficult to crack. They have become more and more obscure.

[mjhall]

Tanks for this, but not a very good clue is it?! I do not think the expression G-Force was ever used to refer to a German Army Unit. Abwehr, Zug, Kader, Regiment, Abteiling, Gruppe, Trupp, jawohl Mein Herr.

[Mamyalynne]

Unit is the definition.

German - G
Army - Force

[bookbinder]

Weiss ich nicht.

[Mamyalynne]

Unit of measurement I should have said.

g-force, is a measurement of the type of acceleration that causes a perception of weight.

I agree with Mayalynee's parsing.
danny- the poster must have meant 1,5 not I five

[retrocop]

I believe G-Force is the German equivalent to the Uk SAS.

[scorpiojo]

?

[fiction-factory]

Which crossword was it please? (Wondering if it was a cryptic or straight- although G Force will be right whichver it is.)

[Mamyalynne]

Thud!

[retrocop]

Sorry my error. Getting mixed up with GSG-9. Doh

Thanks. I was wrongly assuming Retrocop was also right in his observation.
