Yeah, but you should do something where Vladimir is born earlier and finds himself in the war. Maybe Medvedev can be his officer.trekaddict said:He is not related to THE Putin, but rather the Character from the book, i.e. Red October's political Officer.

You should also have Sarkozy in the French army, and maybe a Hindu Osama Bin-laden in the Army in Singapore. :rofl:trekaddict said::rofl:
Well, maybe the Political Officer has a brother who will eventually push his son into the KGB...
What prominent Frenchman today could be in their army back then?trekaddict said:Naa. I guess Sarkozy isn't too experienced in running away and waving White Flags, so he won't join the Army. As for that other guy.. who knows. If Singapore comes under Japanese siege things are going to be interesting.

Putin and Medvedev are probably enough though. Maybe you could add some American's or Brits eventually, who knows.trekaddict said:None probably.
Seriously, I am already so annoyed with teh French AI that I probably won't give them any major characters.

Wasnt it a German Merchant Raider that sunk the HMAS Perth?
Ah but the Sydney did at least take the Kormoran with her, certainly not a material draw (I'd rather a cruiser than a commerce raider) but perhaps a strategic draw given the damage the raider had been doing.trekaddict said:A German raider sank the HMAS Sydney, in fact the Kalinin is TTLs incarnation of that very raider.
After many drunken conversations I have assembled a short list to answer this common pub quiz question;Lord Strange said:Hmmmm, i suggest we have a famous Belgian, oh wait there aren't any.
