I believe you are correct, and we are hoping for a similar result - any cooperation you guys could provide in that vein, would be greatly appreciated.;)

By "similar result" I'm assuming you don't mean the fact that a few meager Paras (those that were actually dropped close to Arnhem) while completely cut off and without supply, were able to hold off for over a week and seriously damage two whole SS Panzer Divisions?

Yea, somewhere in Hades old Pyrrhus of Epirus watched those legions of baffled landsers come straggling in and guffawed, "You boys make me look good!"

Would that not have been a "Pyrrhic Defeat" rather than a "Pyrrhic Victory". In a pinch, I'll take the later...

Come on you Germans!
Good game is a fast game eh.
Surely one of the five of you can play a turn?

They're scared. I'm up next in the rotation.
Hide your panzers and your girlfriends! I'ma puttin' on my blue suede combat boots! ;)
(No, really. ;););) I mock my own hubris. I know someone out there is sitting back thinking, "My that fellow is full of himself.")
