Not everyone would agree with you, Rob.

That's an urban myth.
It's nice to see that David Fletcher found a new career after the the acting parts dried up. He is his magnificent Mr Walrus from 1932.

Dash, blast and fiddlesticks. That's one of my future pictures nabbed by Ciderboy.

"Did any of you see Private Parrot at the E.N.S.A. party last night?"
"No, Sarge. He was at his D.S.A. meeting."
"D.S.A. What's that?"
"Dummy Spitters Anonymous."

No, I don't. The tome you mentioned was called "A Spaniard in the Works".
And I don't accept "cheers" from people who collaborate with the Dictatorship of the Semi-literate.

First soft drink, later some acid at the Abbey Road while recording.
Is that when Brian and Jeffrey recorded "(We all live in a) Brown Envelope"? Or are you alluding to a different recording session?

I can't find any pictures of the Archer's travels around Italy. But here is a lovely shot of Dan and Doris cruising the streets of downtown Ambridge.

If that's the best drinks and nibbles they had to offer I'm surprised anyone turned up

The clean cut soft drinks image suited both Epstein and Archer, who already had his sights firmly set on Westminster. Of course Lenin would sometimes throw a spanner in the works, like the scene from A Hard Day's Night where he puts a finger up to his nostril whilst holding a bottle of coke.

Archers don't hunt, they ambush.
"It wasn't an ambush. I simply wrote a letter. "Dear Jim Could you please fix it for me to have The Beatles come and play at Brownnose College?"
Oops, that should have been "Dear Brian"

In the meantime. "And now" it might be time to follow Mafioso Frank's advice.

In the same way that Mad Addy is the correct way of describing a certain Austrian nutjob. The person that you are referring to is The Milk Snatcher.

- It is however described as 'an adapted version of a training mission' so perhaps the opposition is different.
That sounds plausible.

I can't remember the details of the Demo. But, in the stand alone battle you begin with some Shermans, on map mortar, and a full platoon of infantry. Whereas, in the Task Force Raff Campaign mission you just have some scouts and a couple of armoured cars, as shown up the page.

Yeh, I have the Task Force Raff stuff. This was another one, and by far the toughest. It a much bigger map with two, maybe three companies of US troops against dug in Wehrmacht who are decidedly not inclined to fail! Its Briefing is a long one, going into the exact tactics developed by a certain US army officer (can't remember the name) for dealing with German hedgerow/bocage defense, so that the player can employ similar tactics. I was not doing well to say the least, and figured I'd try again once the full game was installed; however...
The battle you are describing is called "Busting the Bocage". It takes place on 11th July and includes "Rhino" tanks which are of course not available in battles set in June.
And just to clarify, there are three different versions of the "Roadblock" battle. The demo version, the stand alone battle, and the Task Force Raff mission.

Nah, Zloba, and don't listen to Warts-all-over about enjoying the game...Just get those Vids out so we can enjoy them for you :-)
Who is this "Warts-all-over" imposter?

I don't remember "The Road to Berlin", although the demo may have changed over the years. I thought that "Busting the Bocage" was included in the demo once upon a time.

I can't help think that ForgottenWeapons.com should be done under the Trades Description Act. Even with my marbles rolling around on the floor I haven't forgotten seeing footage of it in a documentary back in the early 1970s.

Mad Addy was a junkie. Well would you Adam 'n' Eve it?

That is certainly the one that I was thinking of. I first encountered it in game when playing the CW Module battle "Linking up and Breaking out". On moving a HQ unit close enough to give it orders during the Set-up Phase, I then watched in dismay as every round in the opening minute hit a tree.
