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.  ;)

Ah.  It is like "Tommy" or "Yank," but directed at us superior and mighty Germans and Italians. :)

I've always wondered where those nicknames came from. Why was a VC called "Charlie"? And "Jerry" for the Krauts?

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 ;)
