Sits humming "Alison" by Elvis Costello as I enjoy another great episode. Exits stage right, to leave them to figure that one out... ------------------------> -
Don't worry about being "awful" for now, the learning process is all part of the fun. Are you playing "Turn based" or "Real Time"?

It might be me, but this just looks like a rehash of other FPS games, e.g. Verdun, Tannenburg. They look great, but they are totally unrealistic in regards to the battles that they are trying to recreate. -

It's something I grew up with. Although the tune was written by someone in USAtia in the early 20th C. The lyrics come from Limeyland. Henry Hall's version featured on Aunty Beeb's Light Programme for decades, it also cropped up on Beeb TV shows regularly, e.g. Dr. Who, Dad's Army, The Singing Dectective, and in Peter Greenaway's wonderfully weird movie "A Zed and Two Noughts". -

"And now children, the moral of this story is... If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise, otherwise you'll get a Devil's Spud Masher in yer fizzog." -

Haha... I did notice the plate. It's fairly new as well, using the Two Three One format, rather than the old Two Two Two. Not that I would know anything about these things given that I am 400 years old. -

Tumbledown Dick tugs at his father's sleeve... Dick :- "Father, I thought Scania came from Sweden." Crooners :- "Shut up, you sniveling little pedant, or I won't let you borrow my comic. Now get back in the TARDIS, and lets get home." -

Crommers had been feeling grumpy all day, missing having a comic to read at breakfast time. Suddenly, the Mail Coach horn came drifting through the late afternoon air. He jumped up from the armchair, and rushed to the garden gate, knocking over his son Richard in the process. As he reached up to take his package, he asked the coachman, "Where have you been today?" "Oh, sorry, Mr. Cromwell. As we came off the Great North Road, and turned on to the John Major Way by-pass a big Dutch Wagon shed it's load of grey underpants." -

It's Sunday morning, and the church bells are ringing. Crommers is performing his morning ritual when suddenly there is a BANG BANG BANG on the privy door. Elizabeth :- "Are you reading the devil's comic again in there?" Crommers :- "Oh no, my sweet. I'm reading the Lord's Holy Bible. The Book of Omar, and the Battle of Normandy." Elizabeth :- "I don't know that one, Wartface." Crommers :- "Oops, I meant the Book of Joshua, and the Battle of Jehrico." -

Oh, dash, blast, and fiddlesticks. I had a Tumbledown Dick scene playing in my head. But, you beat me to it. Just have confine myself to thanking you for another excellent installment.... Exits stage right humming "Breakfast time is comic time..." ---------------------> -

Crommers sits in the privy enjoying his morning read. When suddenly there is a loud knocking on the door.... BANG BANG BANG Elizabeth:- "Oi, noddle head, flush that comic down the lav. I've just gotten the latest John Lilburne pamphlet hot off the press." Crommers :- "Oh no, not him again." -

Elizabeth walks in with some coloured paper scrunched up in her fist. "There's no point hiding it in the brew kettle you oaf, I'm the only one who ever uses it." Crommers :- "Sorry, Dearest. Light of my darkest days." -

Oh, we didn't have those in my day. The Levellers and The Diggers tried it on a bit, so I had them killed. -

Nice one, Bud. Although I expect Old Ironsides would have used the word "Commonwealth", rather than "Realm". -

Yeah, I always had my "Then and Now" at the ready when I was playing Final Blitzkrieg.
