Spose I was quite lucky, you get the obvious couple of pains up the ass, but a few weeks scrubbing floors does the world of good I found. In general though, the lot I had were pretty decent. We got 'em to the point where they could take apart and put an L98 back together blindfolded. Did work...

Spent 5 years in the CCF RAF section as well, hated L98's. When we did live firing at Stafford bits kept falling off! Luckily I did it more for the flying than the shooting, still, Flight Sergeant aint bad I spose. Off to Uni next year, fun fun.

If you want a true WW2 strategy game, look no further than Sudden Strike II, rate it higher than any other I've played.

It depends how you define the BoB, because 13 Group squadrons did see action across the north sea, usually small raids of individual bombers/reconaissance aircraft. Largely from Norway, but the Luftwaffe stopped that almost totally when the London bombings began. Also, nearly every...

Zeppelin's the one. Would've made things a bit more interesting though, even if it hadn't affected things in a big way.

Germany had completed it's aircraft carrier (the name of which escapes me at the mo)?

Thing that always struck me as odd was the way in which nobody addressed the fact that in the early Marks (primarily I and II) one bullet in the glycol tank under the nose, could bring the plane down. Seems it wasn't that big a problem, still seems like tempting fate to me.

In terms of looks or performance?

Nah, Leeds anyday.

It was also a battle in my book because the positions were more or less static, in a campaign you tend to have movement and then battles in order to extend or keep the ground won.

Well I'd argue actually, that it ranks along some of the most important. If the LUftwaffe had won that, you could forget anything about a defiant Britain and thus any thought of a staging post for liberating Britain. Like North Africa would have fallen as well in that circumstance.

Are we allowed the Battle of Britain? Or are we talking land and sea battles?

Have to say I liked it, was part of the whole massive power image.

Tempests look great too, have to say I like Hawker aircraft (not that that wasn't obvious). What I mean by not a big bomber person is that I do quite like a number of two-engined bombers, but I don't find four-engined aircraft as attractive to the eye.

Cheers, much appreciated :)
