No wonder I didn't get it. [:)]

Which WIF (all options in play) land unit am I? - I am an army unit and have a counter in WIF - This famous corps counter appears in the force pool of the country concerned two years after this unit was formed in real life. - WIF has me designated as an armoured corps, although in most of my campaigns and battles I was largely (and in some cases, entirely) an infantry corps. - I am a British Army corps

warspite1 -> RE: Next quiz (3/27/2011 12:14:33 PM)
XXX corps is the correct answer [:)]. No doubt ADG used the armoured symbol due to the corp's make-up in the last campaigns of the war Inc Operation Market Garden.

Braedonnal -> RE: Next quiz (3/28/2011 1:47:20 PM)
Skipjack is a good guess but not correct. 1a. I am named after a fish that is called by several names including: cisco, lake herring, chub, northern cisco. No, my name is not listed in there. b. Hell, I don't know what else to add. Rhymes with sea? 2a. I'll give you the fish. Blackjack. Figure out the Spanish name and you'll get it. 1 and 2. Three syllables. Note to self, don't get overly obscure![:o] Hard to come up with clues for these two as they aren't very well known except to a submariner like me.[;)]

Braedonnal -> RE: Next quiz (3/28/2011 2:09:02 PM)
Yeah I was thinking Lexington, Akagi or Kaga but with the clues given it could be a few ships. I just want to clear up point two - built between the wars or rebuilt? I just want to rule out a whole lot of ships!

Which Ship am I? (all optional rules in play) Hope this 4th clue hasn't made it too easy... - I have a counter in WIF - I was built between the wars but failed to survive WWII. - I was designed as one type of ship but was soon modified and became another type. - Had my modification not taken place, then I would not have had a WIF counter until fairly recently. However, thanks to my update, I have had a counter since ADG introduced Ships In Flames.
