Also......the new terrain.....hope it won't fudge the map for the scenario.

Positive Waves Moriarty, Think Positive. I would not sweat the terrain, the CMs are on the ball.

The Beaufighter is not in the scenario so it matters not either way. ;)

OK, I'll bite.....what is a Hunnie?

Post by: SKBG Seadog on March 26, 2009, 02:28:48 PM: Slang for German. Such as Hun , Hunnie or Jerry. Used in WWII.

Well, Jerry is obvious. Alteration of German

The term "Hun" is our own fault. ;)
It stems from a very infamous speech of Kaiser Wilhelm II, held in 1900 when the German expedition corps left to help crushing the Chinese Boxer rebellion.

Hun I got. I would never have connected Jerry and German though... "Kraut" just sounds better anyway ;)

Don't Forget the Rat patrol they saw you too. But those little 50 cals would be like BB's to those tanks so they ran off to warn the people of a Nearby village.
