        Oh its not just a Naafi anymore then? Strange before the vote it was just for coordination, then it became a small force, now we will have a united Axis Army?

        Nothing to worry about then. Good job we paid off the war loans.

        I don't suppose anyone is going to pay their 2% for NATO anymore?At least Greece & Poland made it.

        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

          Well for one thing, the piss-poor track record of most of the constituent parts when it comes to actual combat. For an accomplished fighting force like the British Army it would be akin to tunneling into the Alamo aligning ourselves too closely with some of the lightweights.

            And they don't use a Lancashire potato peeler.

                Yep, 2 - 0 down so far.

                Mind you, the Germans gave you Dutch a smartening - twice.

                    Without a doubt.

                    What you are forgetting is that the Brits had the will to fight.

                    If it wasn't for the Allies you'd be kowtowing to the Germans - oops, my mistake.

                      Has your arse confused itself with your brain (again)? They've won f**k all, although as the Prussians* they beat the Frenchies in 1870-1, and can claim an assist in 1815 (again against the French).

                      The moral of history seems to be, if the Germans pick a fight with someone, you probably want to be on the other side...

                      *As the East Germans know only too well, if you change your name, the stats reset back to zero...
                      His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
