Cool, I'll take a battalion or two of M1917's and give them japs hell til you fellas can drag them big ol' cannons half way around the world. [:D][:D][:D]

Luckily I got one in the back yard to get us started.

Your neighbours must love you! Don't hang out the laundry to dry though. There was this officer I served with, Capt. Fraser...bit of a psycho moron (ate spaghetti with a bayonet...you know the type!),but he owned a farm near Kenora, Ontario and had quite a collection of WW2 vehicles, many running. Has a Bren Carrier for a hay bailer, a Kangaroo for a GP farm tractor etc. Like I said...bit of a gung ho weirdo that might blow a la "Falling Down" anytime.

...

Then, there must have been more HMS London Link: WW2 Cruiser Operations (Ships - Cruisers - Allies - RN - Cal-Ar - London - London (C69)) (note: many great pics for Bradys use here [;)])

Oh, now I found 'yours': Link: HMS London (Bulkward Class BB) (check at the bottom) well, well, 3x6" might still scare some innocent chickens. Seems it got scrapped 1920, though...

Now, while searching on... Link: HMS London - I would like to be the version with 96 guns

Anyway, HMS London is fine with me...

Not on your list, bur she could have been there...the inevitable Warspite.

But if she ever gets added to your mod:

You've already got a Henderson, so how about

Roskill, SW - L70 I 70

He wrote a great book on her that I read when I was a kid...been my favourite ship ever since.

My grandfather was in the merchant marines before and during ww2. a nice american ak with "J.B. Starr" in command would be nice. Of course ak commanders have relatively low skill, but that's okay, I'm sure he would settle for low ratings considering he's being promoted to the bridge.

All Five QE's are in the game. Just not sure which ones will make an appearance, but the Warspite just amde the top of the list.

Hi Tankerace.

If there are any Royal Navy posts left, can I get a capital ship or cruiser. Stuart, G.P. HMS Anything L 60 I 50.

For extra kicks, if possible can you give my PBEm opponent a shout in the old RN as well. He's only a lurker around here, name of:

Bell, G. HMS Anything L 55 I 55.

Cheers!
