Then, when you actually have the game you could, I dunno, play the game?

Ice burgs, whales, largest moose I ever saw... etc etc... anyway.. the generation growing up when we where there was the first to have.. electricity, paved roads, reliable phones..that was on the western shore.. eastern has St. Johns.. I think thats it .. surely they had all this earlier...
So being from Scotland is not any reason to not have seen Tora Tora Tora..... dvd and vhs.. probably beta too if thats your thing... but really how old are u ?? ok.. I'll even tell first, I'm 42 ur is it 43? no 41.. thats right
has anyone seen my marbles, I knew I had them here when I started reading this thread....

Well, I am always happy to see young un's playing this game. (New blood) Not all of us are advanced middle age flatulent couch potatoes. (I got called a smart a$$ for saying old fart)

I will refrain from any sheep comments, but will gladly raise my Laphroaig to you, and the islands in the north of Scotland. (One of them in particular, I'll let you guess)

Do you lads also say "Slaynte"?

If you've got a lot of time there is always the 26 hour World at War series! It has a fair amount of coverage of the Pac war although being Brittish it tends to focus a little more on the Euro-Theater. Still, best documentary I've ever seen. Tons of great footage and narated by Laurence Olivier. Doesn't get much better than that!

I do think the Japanese got off light. I mean with all those Arliegh Buke , Ticondaroga and Aegis cruisers there in Pearl Harbor, I mean how did we even let them drop a bomb?

hhhmmmm...my guess would be orkney or isle of skye! or maybe even the shetlands!

it will probably be 'neds' who say slaynte, i usally try to avoid 'neds' at all costs particular when going to a celtic game!! where i come from theres not really a special word that every one uses!, the only i can remember livingston having was minted!!

Oban is from Skye IIRC. Actually it would be Islay.
If War in Europe is ever done, I will reinforce Islay heavily, since I need their product to keep my strategy plans flowing!
