Ahem, I was born within sight of the Liver Building and was brought up in t'West Riding via army brat BAOR Celle....

I work within sight of the Liver Building. Without wishing to sound discouurteous, I think the area may have changed considerably since you first saw it.

BTW the Liver Building is up for sale - if you've got £40m down the back of your sofa it's worth a punt.

Sorry, that's not a Brummie accent, It's Black Country ,quite different to those who live there.

I stand corrected, pretty awful all the same.

Although you will find some peculiarities in it, Lemmy. Some of his data on the armies is just plain wrong, and he is somewhat biased towards the Prussian military machine.

Currently re-reading Sam Mustafa's Longstreet prior to a new campaign featuring Colonels Hiram J Windbag, a Southern planter, and Thaddeus P Zofften, a second generation German immigrant to the Northern states.

I seem to be reading a boatload of rules at the moment...

Currently trying to figure out what will work best for some fastplay WW2 air combat that can morph into Korea (apparently on the basis that I've never had any interest in air combat *whatsoever*)...have got Bag the Hun 2 which seems cool, looked at TAC, had a passing flirtation with Check Your Six and have got Target Locked On (on the basis that the author lives like 5 miles away, comes to club every week and I can knock him off his motorbike with a little sideswipe from the RX8 if his rules are rubbish)

So.. anyone got any opinions on what's the best / simplest / fastest / funnest (not a word) ruleset for air combat a-go-go?

Scramble

Or

Wings of War!

Poseidon's Warriors
Osprey's Galley rules, look fast and fun enough for an evenings game.

Will go look at Scramble, Will

Mate, those are *never* going to work for WW2 / Korean air combat...

Oh, hang on, I see... Yes, you're right - they're cracking
