No, it's just that a lot of my senior naval officer friends seem to end up in cushy defence jobs when they "retire :happy:Quote:

I had a glance at it Db, but I am a bit too busy at present to give it the attention which it deserves. As soon as i get a chance I will digest what you have suggested.

Bonjour, monsieurs. :salute:
Need to get familiar with my new titel and read about the meaning of this.
So if I understand right in terms of a few cannonballs more or a new mast for your flagship, a kind of paper need to cross my table, first?
:wink:
Assuming my band of scaly scalawags doesn't Midnight Requisition it first... LOL :DQuote:

Didn't say a word about timetable :) and that includes the four we already have which I'm leveraging for reprints and restats. :) Hopefully they at LEAST give us some new Wave 1 decoes alongside the re-run Starter...Quote:
