Well if someone can create a proper, detailed War in the Mediterranean 1940-1943 game, then 100,000 will be reached much quicker than that [;)].

When I do AAR’s I try and make them detailed and that means lots of posts. E.g. even allowing for the fact that other people have posted, I suspect that my current Strategic Command AAR comes to over 20 posts a day as I like to detail (with pictures) what is happening.

Of course the odd AB competitions helped push the total up too [:D]

I am just waiting for the congratulatory telegram from the HM Queen Elizabeth [:)]

Is is customary to get congratulatory telegrams from ships in your country?

[shakes head and smiles in a patronising way] Oh my dear little colonial. No, if one were refer to a warship one would say:

I am just waiting for the congratulatory telegram from the HMS Queen Elizabeth That is to say Her Majesty's Ship.

However one was referring to Her Majesty - HM.

Shouldn't you have said 'The Queen' instead of Her Majesty? There is only one queen in England.

Not as far as I am aware - but I am not that au fait with royalty and the etiquette around them. All I know is the Queen Elizabeth is a wonderful lady but that Queen Elizabeth is the wrong name for the aircraft carrier. HMS Warspite would have been good though....
