That is the first time I heard the whole 'never before in the course of human history speech'. Churchill was a heck of an orator.

My thoughts and respects therefore do go to the Few.


I agree. Isn't it charitable enough that we let the attackers disappear into obscurity?

I wasn't talking about who killed who being unimportant in strategic terms.

New vid highlighting the low level features for BOBII patch 2.10. Period objects and buildings, forests, and Aces bomber multiskin mod which gives every bomber in the game historically correct skins, markings, emblems, spinners, and ID codes!

The update is in final release testing and on track for release this month.
