  8. 12 men was enough for a re-enactment they used a 1-1 scale for the Finnish Forces and 1-10000 for the Soviets. the uber Finns only needed less than 12 men to defeat the Soviets, and only some of the Finns were issued tooth-picks as they wanted to keep the fight fair.
  9. iirc its because of laws in Germany so they cannot refer to the SS and other Nazi terminology. CDV distribute the game there.

  16. thinking like your enemy thinks is the sign of a good military leader which is something that Hitler etc were never known for remember the Panzer Divison sent to Greece to defend against an allied invasion, the prospect of fighting from Greece to Berlin makes Cornwall seem like a good way to get to London

  20. I too had the pleasure of visiting Crete in 1996, and had a great time even though it was my 30th birthday. Part of the reason to visit Crete was to go to a place with lots of history as well as good food and friendly people. The med was gorgeous, crystal clear and a pleasure to swim in, coming from me that is a big recommendation. Normaly I can only spend a day or two of a fortnight holiday sunbathing and swimming as I get bored and get sunburnt very quickly. What what I remember, Malia was full of Brits (too British), Hersonnisos full of Germans, and Stalida (otherwise known as Stalis) was half and half and I think was a good choice of place to stay or visit. The locals were friendly and great. Food and drink (Amstel was everywhere) were cheap and good. Suda bay was a very moving place to visit, a haven of green lawns and immaculate headstones overlooking the sea. One thing that struck me was the headstones were from a variety of time periods and nationalities. Along with the comments from other posts I would recommend visiting Chania (Hania), the old capital. Much prettier than Hekaklion and has a variety of archtecture including turkish and venetian. Heraklion does have a great venetian fortress overlooking the harbour and is definitely worth a visit. Try the raki and the retsina !
  21. Thousand Oaks, California just up the road from Los Angeles born and inbred in Bristol (UK)
