And the lord spake, saying "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

It looks like the Hatfields and McCoys. I never knew Europe in WWII looked like Eastern Kentucky, houses and all... Ah well, whatever floats yer boat..

That guy is VERY talented. I highly recommend all go check out his craftsmanship.

I thought it was a fully laden swallow.

You keep hitting the ESC key to minimize a program in Windows.

It would be great for my computer to store my password locally and remember it. I play almost exclusively PBEM. None of my opponents have access to my computer. A locally stored password would be a nice added convenience.

It would be great to have Quick Operations in addition to the Quick Battles. Allow us to input the parameters and select forces via point allocations, and then let us go at it.

Nick Park is a genius and he's British too. It's a real pity The Patriot has turned out the way it did. It smacks of some of the propoganda war flicks made in the 40s, and that is NOT a good thing. Hollywood, and Mel Gibson in particualr, should be ashamed for putting out a piece of crap like this.

Wesreidau is a great friend of mine and my post was in jest as a response to his original post. You know, the one where he was talking about being like Frost stranded at Arnhem without his CM. Mine then meant it was on the way, but had become delayed in transit. The Bromhead reference was to Michael Caine, who played Bromhead in Zulu and the CO of the Irish Guards in ABTF. If you thought that was anti-English, then you are completely off track, and might need to calibrate your sensitivity meter. Allons

I'd subscribe.

That "Running HMG Squad" thread takes the cake with me.

We're on our way old boy. We've just crossed the river at Nijmegen. Wot? Tea you say? Right!! Sorry Frosty. slight delay you see. We're going to halt and have some tea. We will get moving again after that, I say say. Cheerio Gonville Bromhead
