I probably should have put this in the manual but 'pranged' = 'crashed'. It's British slang, that was used here in Australia as well.

I once read an account of battle in the Pacific Theater written by an Aussie and he used the phrase "sly grogging"????
 
I had to ask Dave O'Conner of Panther Games (an Aussie) to interpret for me.
 
It is a term referring to the reselling of U.S. booze rations at exhorbitent rates reaping obscene profits.
