Hey, who can object to Swedish fish?<br/>

How is this not all over the news channels? Your opponent must be extremely subtle and clever ...

Surprised nobody's mentioned the Masters of Rome series by Colleen McCullough in a thread like this. My favourite historical novels. Read every one of them at least twice.

Flashman and the Mountain of Light by George MacDonald Fraser for my sofa read, and Wool by Hugh Howey for my commuting read.

Ok I finially got it to work. I downloaded that beta patch and now it works just fine. The only thing wrong now it is not full screen. There is no lag when I play now. If you have windows 8 I would download the patch.<br/>

Thanks to ...

I seem to recall being able to designate "out of range TF's" and do it often now, maybe it was an earlier version that you could not as I seem to recall? Maybe there is a range limit on just how far out of range? Farthest I have designated out ...

You can choose a task force that's in range too, very handy when you need to supply or reinforce a contested hex.

Problem is you can't designate such a task force that is just out of range, but will come in ...

As an ex-coffee brewer for very senior NATO naval staff, what I see is a bunch of counters on an exercise table, some of them larger than others...

OK, the Germans swallowed the hoaxes in WW2, and I still swallow them now... What do the say about twice fooled..?

Hehe, yeah, I know the frustration. As the Allies I've been blasting everything that can conceivably harbour a Jap torp bomber, but no matter what I do, some Betties always manage to sortie from somewhere and invariably sink any important capital ship in any formation I have nearby...

<r> And I'll be down some suitably dingy pub here. Anyway, now that the Germans are out of the picture and happily can't win any more (sorry Germans, nothing personal- feel the same for BRA, ARG, ITA), I find I don't <B><s>[b]</s><I><s>[i]</s>really<e>[/i]</e></I><e>[/b]</e></B> care who wins ...

Gamey-Schmamey. The Japs are putting up Zeros against my Buffalos. Talk to them about gamey.

Hmmm, yeah, More firepower in one narrow-angle camera shot than in my entire WITPAE map. What is that monster in shot 2? Must admit I'm not updated on new stuff. Anyway, I'm sure flak losses would be even lower than what I have now in AE if I could deploy that thing...

One of my grandfathers was a mine-clearing sapper in the Royal Scots 1939-45, receiving an MBE for his service (and also an iron cross as a personal gift from a German he rescued in France), but due to his reluctance to talk about the topic of the war ...

England would have progressed to the quarter finals if that were so...

Paul was young and rash and fresh out of his egg for his Euro 2008 predictions, so he probably just went for the largest clam. Now, by Octopus standards, he's old and wise and less likely to give in to temptation and bribery.

OK. Shame I can't have her around in AE, as I love oddballs for adding flavour. What's CHS, by the way?

<r> Was this old lady ever considered for inclusion in the game?<br/>
