I was just teasing you. Dying in Poly's game will put you in good company. The Plynkes LAF Death Toll includes Grimm, Rich, Howard, and myself. :)


Seriously, I had actually hoped to feature one day. Just hope it´s suitably amusing. Such as getting gripped by an enraged elephant and tossed over a cliff... if I´m lucky. If he´s in a bad mood, I´m sure it will a love-mad, short-sighted elephant.

Sorry. Still recovering from a bout of flu which hit me on saturday night as I returned from the LAF meet, so my jokes are off by a mile.

Worry not, my undying enmity usually only lasts about ten minutes.

Chris is already on the muster. Kapitanleutnant Westphalen has survived one battle so far (the same one in which Rick Rattrap was killed, and von Zoogla ran off screaming into the jungle, never to be seen again). Perhaps he needs to be transferred from his current cushy posting in the Kaiserliche Marine to somewhere a little more... interesting.

Something on the Western Front, perhaps? I hear there are some vacancies for Chartered Surveyors in the Verdun sector. I take it Chris has no objections to setting up a theodolite in the middle of no-man's land? Anytime after 21st Feb 1916 will do, there's no rush...


Well then, here he posts quicker than the speed of light.

I say, jolly decent of you, old chap. Vorwärts! I´m right behind you! :lol:

[EDIT]

Damn! Just re-read that battle report, and there I am, and a Uboat Commander to boot! Huzzah! How could I miss that one?!?

Interestingly enough, it seems there really was a U-Boat commander called Westphalen, though he served in a different war:

What happened to Howard? I can't remember that one.


Didn't he command an armored car or something? It was that game where the plucky Brits attacked entrenched machineguns for Albion, the same game where Rattrap Rick bought it. If it hadn't been multiethnic and palm-treed, you could easily have mistaken the setting for Western Front.

Checking my meticulously catalogued collection of index cards...

Aha! Major H. 'Squinty' Whitehouse was indeed present at that engagement, in fact he was in command of the Entente Powers' forces. But he survived unscathed. The other LAFer to buy the proverbial farm that day was Sgt. M'Mala Mute of the KAR, God rest his soul.
