Congratulations warspite1 on making more than 30,000 posts.

I read most of them, and they have enriched my life. Thank you.

I wish we had a room. Then we could get a huge table for it and have the perfect place to play World in Flames. You could join in if you want.

To mark the occasion, I have sold a friend on a WiF purchase. Hopefully, he will become an active PBEM player, unlike me

What a nice surprise to see this thread yesterday.

I must admit I've been so engrossed with the Strategic Command AAR I had no idea the post count had got to 30,000 until I saw this

Thanks for the thread Orm and the nice comments from the usual GD suspects

I am just waiting for the congratulatory telegram from the HM Queen Elizabeth

Now that GD could be interpreted two ways.

30,000 posts in under 9 years...that's more than 9 posts a day. In 20 years you'll hit 100,000!

Well if someone can create a proper, detailed War in the Mediterranean 1940-1943 game, then 100,000 will be reached much quicker than that

.

When I do AAR�s I try and make them detailed and that means lots of posts. E.g. even allowing for the fact that other people have posted, I suspect that my current Strategic Command AAR comes to over 20 posts a day as I like to detail (with pictures) what is happening.

Of course the odd AB competitions helped push the total up too

[shakes head and smiles in a patronising way] Oh my dear little colonial. No, if one were refer to a warship one would say:

I am just waiting for the congratulatory telegram from the HMS Queen Elizabeth That is to say Her Majesty's Ship.

However one was referring to Her Majesty - HM.

Shouldn't you have said 'The Queen' instead of Her Majesty? There is only one queen in England.

Not as far as I am aware - but I am not that au fait with royalty and the etiquette around them. All I know is the Queen Elizabeth is a wonderful lady but that Queen Elizabeth is the wrong name for the aircraft carrier. HMS Warspite would have been good though....
