New Zealand is like a small island off the coast of New Guinea right? Where is my atlas...

hmmm, I work with a bunch of kiwi's. Usually they are plotting how to bring back real chocolate into the states. They'll think I'm really odd when I tell them to pick up a computer game for me. :)

More like off the coast of Australia. They are clearly in Australia's sphere of influence and as such will need to be drawn into a greater Australasia

. My Kiwi mate Chad doesn't seem to understand this but it's all part of our inevitable expansion into Oceania.

I've always kind of considered Australia to be "Texas" on a global scale.

I actually have a couple of Kiwi friends as well. I've always wanted to visit but you can see almost the entire country in just a few shots in LOTR :)

Thank God NZ is not convenient for most Americans to visit. Have you seen what we have done to the coastal towns in Mexico or the Caribbean? Ahhh...

They should make a wargame where Giant American Cruise ships lauch amphibious assaults with fat white tourists destroying beautiful towns on the coast in some unspoiled country.

There is a reason the term :"ugly american" exists, being from the States and loving to travel, it shames me to see the abusive attitudes of these offensive poeple and businesses... and then there are the French oops... wrong thread

are we there yet?

As a stop-gap till I get BIN, I bought Steven Ambrose's D-Day book. Unfortunately instead of helping to tide me over until I can download this game, its only making me more anxious to play BIN!

I'm making it through all the chapters on the commanders and the armies and the planning. Now I'm up to the chapter on the decision to go or no-go.

Really, REALLY hoping that when I get to the part describing the battle that BIN's available right at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a volume of this series, and it is the best source for reading up on the battles beyond the beaches (Breakout&Pursuit). I think everything is on this site as well.

I know what you mean about it making you want BiN even more!
