Not accepting leaders after 2/28/05

So I don't have to keep adding in leaders to all scenarios, after the 28th (next Monday) I will no longer take names to be put in as leaders. I have had this on since September, so I don't think its cruel to stop taking names after six months.

So, if you want to be a leader in War Plan Orange, or wish to honor a relative in the same way, post your name in a last name, first initial, nationality, and command you wish. Then, give a leadership and an inspiration value.

Thanks

Stevens, H. Aust. Land unit 50/50.

Being my great uncle, who was captured in Singapore and died on the Burma railway.

Or you can have another one who fought at Milne Bay:

McCarthy, S. Aust Land unit 50/50.

He should be an engineer leader - he was an armourer.

If we can add family members....my grandfather was a Lt. Commander in the RCN in WW2 would be nice to have him in WPO.

Joe Cuthbert 75/75 he was an inspiration in my life.

Any Brit or if they are included Canadian warship...he was on the St. Laurent<sp?> in WW2 and spent a few weeks in England on the Hood. Used to love the stories he would tell about the Hood.

Cuthbert, J. 75/75: HMCS Aurora

New, B. - USN - 60/75

My grandfather, battleship sailor on the North Carolina. It was the only thing from his past he ever talked to me about. A guy with a 6th grade education whose company did all of the crane, welding, and steel work on the John C Stennis Space Center down in Mississippi. He inspired me and he was a great leader. Can he have the North Carolina?

On Tuesday, I publish a list off all commanders and their commands. That's partly why I am wanting to get them all in now. That way, if I skipped over any I can get them in, because I need to start revamping all WPO scenarios with changes (Leaders, new ships, new nations, etc).

Okay, thanks alot. How about one more request?

Walters, R - USN - 65/60

How about my Dad? Between him and my grandfather I had no chance to become anything other than a history teacher. And if there's a New Orleans or Birmingham (the two cities of his youth) then how about giving him one of those? Appreciate the hard work and can't wait to see the finished product!

I have a protected cruiser New Orleans (A large 5in armed gunboat), and the Chester class light cruiser Birmingham. New Orleans has 9 5in/50s, the Birmingham 4 5in/51s. Which do you want?

In at the wire,

McNamara, L. - USN 60/60


My grandfather flew B-24's during the Second World War, but since this between wars, who knows what might have been earlier?

Any command would suffice - thanks.

Ok, I'll make him a bomber commander.

On a side note, that's freaky, My grandfather flew B-24s in WW2 aswell. J models, out of Italy I believe.

How does a squadron with Martin NBS-1s (Night Bombardment, Short distance) sound?

Decisions, decisions...... let's give him the New Orleans, city of his birth.
