FWIW, I would like to let DD and AC know that, as much damage as I was able to do while working more or less solo, the ranks are swelling by the day (especially with your predictably-stupid response to what is transpiring in Europe -- Chambery is LOST to you...accept it).
Sure, this war has lasted longer than I would have liked, but the end result will be as I, the PLD (LOL), have always 'predicted' -- you are TOAST (which is the word Germans actually use, by the way, Tony). Mark, now would be an excellent time to make the first good and right decision you have made in many years, my friend -- ditch the VoV, once and for all...for the next leg down cometh, quickly and strongly...
