Congratulations Merrick
Congrats!
NEWEST!
The Popular Front- France and the Second World War. December, 1938: France has failed to topple Hitler's government by guile- and cannot yet resist through force...
My apologies, but I needed all the time I could get to focus on my AAR (and reading other AARs). It takes an awful long time just to find someone who hasn't been given this award yet!
And a definite congratulations to merrick. I followed his Burgundian AAR early on, and only left because I didn't have enough time to continue reading it. My other choice to cut out of my reading was "Timelines", so there's nothing to feel bad about losing out to that one.![]()

"I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will -- and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain."- Gene Roddenberry

Thank-you, thank-you <bows> There's nothing like a scroll of congratulation to make writing feel worth while.

Oh...and times up.![]()
(I'd send a PM but you don't seem to be accepting any.)
Well, I had hoped merrick would pop back in to name a successor, but it looks like I'll need to push this one along once again. Fortunately, I have a great name to throw out there. And it is about time and well deserved...
Chief Ragusa
Most of you know him as a reader in your own AAR. Some of you may also know that he writes one of his own. Few of you, it seems, are reading it - or letting him know that you are. I'd like to see that change. The greatest way we can repay the favor of someone commenting in our AAR is to follow up and scratch that person's back in turn. So check out his Born to the Purple and make sure to leave a note so he knows you did so.![]()
Congrats, Chief!![]()
