Now that I am finally retired I have decided to accept Geezerhood ....... I have practised being grumpy for years but now I can finally shout at the TV to my hearts content (so long as it's not something the wife wants to watch!). I am informed that when spring returns the dogs and I shall be spendi...

Thanks for the update and all the hard work!

I shall give the PC game another go this weekend.

But, but, but.......... I need to know what happened! 238 pages and ends in Jan 1944.

I hope both are fit and well.

Many thanks Chris21wen, I have been playing for years and never knew what some of these actually meant! Doh

Britain is made up of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and England.... the blue in the Union Jack comes from the Scottish Saltire, the red crosses from N Ireland and England, and the white from all three flags.

I don't think he has made part two yet. I am watching out for it.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: RangerJoe<br/> <br/> I think that he means that the Allies will take their entire battle fleet as well as a lot of divisions to invade somewhere.
