Warts 'n' all

I don't wish to quibble, but "Endeavour" cannot be taken seriously, they called Double Diamond a lager in one episode. Pass the sick bag, Elizabeth.

Never mind the emoji. I can't read the writing. Too small for my old eyes.

I think the reason was CMFI's starting date in 1943 when it was felt that "tank riding" wasn't a common practice. And although I'm no expert I assume to have introduced it in Gustav Line, or Rome to Victory would have created problems.

I feel your pain, but rules are rules. Hopefully you'll have better luck next time. At the moment The Committee of 100 have yet to decide on the format of the next competition, although the word on the hopvine is that it will focus on the USatians, rather than the Limeys, and the Canucks.

Anyone who actually had to "win" a scholarship deserves respect. About the only thing I ever won in the '60's was "Pass the parcel".

Nice try, better luck next time.

@altipueriA great photo. A shame it came too late for you to win.

In the "uk". When you were "a school". Ah, that sums up life in Murdoch's Dictatorship of the Semi-Literate.

John Martin's Guinness Gold Cup So as the competition closes without anyone grabbing automatic victory by posting a picture of a vehicle belong to the Inns of Court Regiment, we shall have to check the table to find a winner. Warts 'n' all - 15 Points Wicky - 0 Points Vacillator - 0 Points Falaise - Minus 15 Points John Inman - Minus 5 Points PiatPunk - Minus 5 Points DerKommissar - 4 Points altipeuri - 2 Points Erwin - Minus 5 Points Field Oggy - Minus 5 Points 3j2m7 - Minus 5 Poinst Of course having won our previous competition Noddle Head is not allowed to win this one, so our winner is @DerKommissar. And his prize is a hogshead of Elizabeth's St. James Infirmary Stout.

Entering the last day of competition. No, 8. - A Vickers MMG Carrier in Deurne, Belgium.

Looking at the last two posts the plight of Sweet Fanny Adams comes to mind. And as we all know, she met her end a long time before WW2.

As for the "Commonwealth" that came to an end in 1660, when that idiot son of mine tumbled down.

I didn't think you'd been there, but I thought you'd be the person to ask given your "Lions" campaign. I did a bit more digging, and there had been an operation called Ottawa postponed earlier. So probably a staff officer from the state of Ontario sticking pins in a map

I've always assumed that it was named after the city in Ontario, rather than the racecourse. Where's @Ithikial_AUwhen we need him?

Now, that it what I call a two-pointer. It's great seeing pictures I've not seen before.

Nice try. but it doesn't belong to either 2nd British or 1st Canadian Army. It would have scored you two points in our previous competition as mules can get a bit wild from time to time.

I think the "special relationship" ended in September '45. But, I think that that is outside of the remit of a war gaming forum. I'm off for a pint with my old mucker Clem.

@DerKommissar Although you haven't quite gotten the hang of the rules, you are actually meant to name the vehicles. You gave us the locations, and you made an effort to find some interesting pictures, so you get the full four points. Well done.

No. 7. - A Ford in a ditch in Beveland. Note the lopsided Allied star. ...

Damn! I thought it was a long shot given the fact that he died 8 years ago. I only saw three of the World Cup squad play (Stiles, Cohen, and Charlton). Ho hum.

@Falaise You are a great modder, for which I thank you. But I haven't the faintest idea what any of your posts in this thread have been about. You still have two days to boost your ranking.

The advantage of having been dead for about 400 years, is that you have nothing else to do all day other than look for typos. In the meantime would I be right in thinking that your name is a reference to John Connelly, the only "John" in the England World Cup squad in '66?

No. 6. RAF Humbers in Middelburg ...

Swearing at the screen is something I do far too often. When playing as the Germans my expletive of choice is "Unter den Bloody Linden".

The building shown on page 1, which was posted by Lt. Bull back in 2015 only came into the game with the MG module. So we must be talking about different buildings. Perhaps you could post some screenshots of the ones that are giving you trouble in Normandy.
