Warts 'n' all

"I'm telling you, there's a fat bloke and a reindeer in that barn."

I was never in favour of seeing anyone's bones. But Charlie the Smug, was asking to have his napper taken off. As for being down on Crimble that was just politics. Once Elizabeth's "Old Noddle Head Extra Stout" started flowing, we were rocking St. James's Palace for 12 nights.

Just bear in mind, that a lot of people who enjoy creating scenarios, need BFC to give 'em the tools to do it with. So stop chafing at the bit, and wait for those guys to give you Chaffee's to play with.

Glad you enjoyed my take on things. And thanks for great screenshots.

I don't anything about Hollywood composers. My boys go into the Ardennes with Basie's "Jumping at the Woodside" to fire 'em up.

The commentator mentions both the Greyhound and the HMC in his preamble. But from that point on when using the name "M8" he clearly means the Greyhound, and obviously knows the difference. Whether the video is accurate isn't for me to say. But according to family legend, Kay said to Ike "Give me one tonight". Ike said to Monty "I'm too busy to sort out the Ardennes, you'll have to do it". Monty said to Jorrocks "I'll be buggered if I'm going to send good Anglican boys down there to help out those non-conformist colonials, who have you got to spare?" Jorrocks said to Paddy "Stop the Jerries on the Meause tonight." Paddy said to John Martins, "Give me five Bedford loads of yer'se strongest Guinness, I need to set it alight and roll it down a bone dry hill in the middle of the desert, so that dumb movie goers in ten years time will think that it is how we beat the Gerry in the middle of a Belgian winter".

It wasn't a bore for the poor ****ers who died there. And your argument for BFC to concentrate future efforts on other theatres might carry more weight if you took that fact into account.

I have had to give up on this. Getting my vehicles through La Gleize proved far more difficult than taking the place. Partly because a knocked out jeep was blocking the main road, and also, I think some of the buildings a too close to the road itself, and my vehicles are veering off all over the place. Hopefully other players are having less trouble than I am.

Only one "like", and that was mine. You deserved more.

Yes, a 4-man crew is standard, the missing crew member problem just seems to crop up in a couple of battles.

Problem is whatever decision BFC make someone will slag them off for it.

With puns that bad you could get a job with a certain tax dodging Australian megalomaniac. But, at least you have the excuse that English isn't your native language. In the meantime I have been paying more attention to my Flak boys.

Bilko tended to get repeated every ten years or so here in Limeyland.

Poor old Cromwell, he never got to have a decent curry. We didn't even get our greedy mits on Mumbai until Charles Stewart Mark 2 married some Iberian Catholic bird.

Happy Days was shown over here. Very funny for the first few series, then began to disappear up it's own 'arris with too many guest stars etc. I've never heard of McHale's Navy.

Another enjoyable episode.

That was God's punishment for you treating it as a tourist attraction. No hang on a minute, monasteries belong to the other lot don't they.

I'm just over half an hour into this. And I'm enjoying it. Although one of my Flak guns decided to get involved in an infantry firefight, swung it's gun around 90 degrees and killed four of his own mates.

This is going to have me humming Bow Wow Wow's version of "Fools Rush In" all day.

Also, from what I can tell from some of the guys in the nearest pub to our local barracks. When the Gurkhas found out that some arrogant plonker liked to come on to BFC's forum spouting neo-Nazi garbage, they asked the M.O.D. to inform B.F.C. that they didn't want to be included in Rome to Victory. Of course, that might be just the ale talking.

My nearest takeaway is called "The Gurkha Kitchen", and of course features a pair of crossed khukuris on it's logo. I have yet to ask if they do a discount for CMers.

@John Kettler This is the scene that @Wicky's previous post referred to. The signature belongs to Ian Lavender who played Private Pike. I once saw him play cricket in a charity match, but I wanted the other side to win. The show ran for about ten years, beginning in 1968. And is as much about the British class system as it is about WW2. You might be able to track it down on the net or on DVD either way it is well worth watching.

When I first fired up the game I put the TRP in La Gleize. But, after getting hit by the bridge bug and restarting, I forgot all about it, and left it in it's original position. Silly old noddle head.
