Mike Solli suggested i repost this from faber's AAR:

As per fabertong's request... i figure something in a minor key is appropriate (i will leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out the tune):

Aah, look at all the lonely penguins
Aah, look at all the lonely penguins

Fabertong’s penguins pick up the rubble on the field where the battle has been
End of the dream
Stare out the window, holding their guns that they keep in a rack by the door
What was it for?

All the lonely penguins
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely penguins
Where do they all belong ?

Fabertong penguin writing the words of a speach that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working: piling up gold bricks when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely penguins
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely penguins
Where do they all belong?

Aah, look at all the lonely penguins
Aah, look at all the lonely penguins

Fabertong’s penguins fled from the scene and swam out to sea to escape
It won’t be the same
Fabertong penguin wiping the wine from his mouth as he straightens his cape
The leader one was saved

All the lonely penguins
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely penguins
Where do they all belong?

Congrats Speedy.  It's been a lot of fun experiencing the game with you guys. 

I don't know much about the campaign series.  Tiller?

Thanks Mike. Feels weird it being over after 2 years of my life invested in this.

Aye. Tiller[:)]

Not sure yet. Any of the Western, Eastern Front and Pacific front options are good with me. Something that is suitable for 2-player[;)]

Do you have Berlin 85?  I've considered getting that one for years now.

Congratulations Speedy!

Watch out - scuttlebutt has it that intel is deciphering several strange sighting reports. An object is believed to be headed for frozen space. One radar operator swears it returns echos in the shape of a gigantic Bob's Big Boy! [&:]

Nicely played game Speedy. I'm going to miss the AAR.

Nothing like a good penguin beating. [:'(]

The spoils to the victor and all that. [;)]

Speedy,
 
Excellent AAR.  Are you now not going to play any WITP until AE comes out?  That could be a long wait to go cold turkey.

Check out the Threadwar 3x3 - Speedy is Commander in Chief for the Good Guys(tm) (that would be the Allies for the uninitiated).

Hi Alfred[:)]

Thanks and also thanks for all of your comments throughout this.

No worries there. I still have 3 x WiTP games going (Dadman, Pompack, my Dad) and a CHS Thread War as R mentioned[8D]

Where I live, the Good Guys is the name of a whitegoods retailer that sells product for a discount if paid in cash rather than credit card.
