Warts 'n' all

Just don't tell the Limeys that Persil originated in Germany. They will mess their whites.

This was fun. Although a pedant might grumble that it can't be used in Red Thunder as the station was blown to bits in Feb '45. Of course, they'd also moan that we can't enjoy this as it came out in 1946. ...

These look really good. Although the "112" is reversed at the right end of the tram in the middle picture.

Paddy nudges Monty. "Field Marshall Sir. will yerse listen to them there feckers, youse an' me both know that there was nowt artificial about it. Even an Anglican like yerself will admit that it was my Catholic God that created Monty's Moonlight. Now will yerse be staying on the mineral water, or joining me in a pint of the black stuff?"

You might well be right. But the key phrase in my post was "waiting in the wings".

45minutes left on the clock. Johnnie Lenin and the Bolshevik Beat Boys have taken the Limey House, and are closing in on the Propaganda Ministry, and the Barracks. Someone in the ranks was mumbling something about wanting to go back to the USSR, but he was swiftly handed over the NKVD boys who were waiting in the wings.

Meanwhile back in Berlin. I've managed to secure The Poison Dwarf's Villa and am closing in on The Limey Embassy.

Elizabeth scowls, "Noddlehead gets venison pasty, and quarts of Whitehall XXXXX every day."

I might run that healthy lifestyle regime past my doctor sometime.

In the meantime I'm about 30mins into my replay of "Neues Reichskanlei". And it is certainly more fun without the flyboys bombing my own tanks.

Don't worry about not grasping it because you're German. It an obscure reference to Limey punk band the Sex Pistols. Jamie Reid was a graphic designer who did the covers of their singles and album "Never Mind the Bollocks".

"Never Mind the Flags. Here's the Bolleaux." As Jamie Reid, almost said.

Yes, there are dead dobbins in Red Thunder. And I think they might be suitable for the streets of Berlin. I think that the Swastika flags were discussed earlier in this thread. My own tuppence worth is that I can't imagine any nice clean ones were getting hung up once the Russians were in the city. If we have to have them at least make them like they have been torn to shreads.

Maybe a bit too grim for a game. And that is coming from someone who has previous when it comes to politically motivated killing.

I think that Loco Ono needs just a bit of weathering, other than that she looks great.

"I don't care if you call me Loco, I'm not listening."

I did take another look at the Scenario Editor having gathered up some of my wayward marbles. I managed to work out how to delete the flyboys altogether. So, I won't have them bombing me when I give it another go. I'll still probably lose the battle but that is another story.

I didn't create the scenario. It is @NPye's work. I wouldn't know how to make any of the changes that you suggest. It was as much as my old brain could manage editing out some of the private cars.

I was playing as the Russians against the AI. Maybe if a few more tweaks can be made I might give it another go. I'm not sure my editing skills are up to the job.

No, I remember the same thing happening in a Stalingrad mini-campaign some years back. The first few flyboys on the scene attacked the German positions near the Kanzlei, but this one decided a large mass of Russians would make a better target. In my experience planes and built-up areas don't mix.

Yes, I was giving my slight reworking of it a go, having removed a lot of the private cars. Which I entitled "Neues Reichskanzlei". And I was enjoying it up until my reinforcements arrived, and my flyboys started attacking my Set-up zone. I was not impressed.

Whilst it is always good for the ego to get a mention on these pages. The good Lord above would like it pointed out that I had been abiding with him since 1658. So, that coin is just a tad after my time.

Still early doors as footy managers say. Sniper fires at a German HQ over 500 meters away whilst kneeling and misses. Reloads, and lies down, calming taking out the HQ with his second shot.

"A federal archive? All state papers should be my personal property."

Elizabeth lifts her eyes from her Whitehall Gazette and shouts "Oi! Noddlehead get in here some bloke forgot to make his copyright payment."
