Be careful, because the Holy Howitzer is a static unit, and you will no longer be able to move your Holy Infantry once it upgrades.

Midnight. The Japanese Task Force under Admiral Tanaka increases its speed to 30 knots as they swing into the final leg of their approach to bombard Cooktown.

Little did they know, their ships had been spotted by a radar-equipped PBY, who had alerted the Allied defenses.

The Dutch gunners grimmly made final adjustments to their Heilige SchwerePüfferGeflingers. Soon, they vowed, they would have vengeance for their defeat at Balikpapan...

Slight textual errors may have occurred, as I translated this from the Dutch translation of the original Folderol.

Hmm....I will check my research but I'm pretty sure it was Terminus I, King Of Folderol who wrote the original Book of Armaments.

M. Arglebargle is Nik's lawyer.....of course, I wouldn't be surprised if Nik's lawyer *did* claim authorship of the sacred text.

He said Terminus I was King of Folderol, not the Netherlands, and clearly stated that it was translated INTO Dutch from Folderol.

King of Folderol: i thought that description fit you quite nicely![:'(]

NOTE: editted for clarification, but Terminus quoted me before the edit was in...[:(]
