only two months till the tenth anniversary of the start of this AAR. I wonder if pippy is going to give us a nice B-day surprise?

Goddammit, Dury! Why did you have to start a new page.
Now we have to wait another 17 comments before I can get my update on the Short Sunderland and international soccer.

I can see it now: "THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT! AN EPIC TALE PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE GENERATIONS!!!"*
*I am not sure if the upper caps are really necessary, but it does make the sentence sound more epic.

In the fullness of time, I think.
Good old Pippy is the master of the "slower than time" AARs, so...

Okay, I can't wait any more. I am going back to start re-reading from the beginning in the hope that an update will be ready by the time I reach the end, again. At least I get to re-learn the merits of Christie's suspension on British tractors. And those songs were very witty.

Wait, sorry. You're saying there's an actual story in here somewhere?!?
My god, you're right! I'd plain forgotten... TO THE TANK PORN!
Dury.

To borrow a quote from Johan Andersson:
"An El Pip update is never late! Nor is it ever early. It arrives precisely when El Pip means it to do!"

The 10th Anniversary coming up next weekend, 23 January. As a reminder, we have covered roughly 18 months of game play to mid Summer 1937.
In the week leading up to this momentous event, it would appropos for us to recall the many obscure facts and "facts" which we have all learnt from our time in the Pippian world. I for one will be forever indebted for the education which I received in the history of the Christie suspension and its use in 1930's agricultural machinery.
PS Also vale Alan Rickman. Call me crazy, but the Butterfly Effect sounded so much more impressive when read in his voice.

I remember that Alf Landon is President and that I voted for things.

Hello, it's me,
I was wondering
If after all these years you'd like to meet to go over everything
They say that time's supposed to progress, yeah
But the AAR ain't done much moving
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in South America dreaming about World Cups which will never be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the updates stopped their feed
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello from the Armoured side
I must've spammed a thousand times
To tell you Landon's sorry, for everything that he's done
But when I check you never seem to be home
Hello from the Armoured side
At least Eden's still alive
To look for new votes, for new pages to start
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about tanks, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that tractor update where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret
That the both of us are running out of time
So hello from the Armoured side
I must've checked a thousand times
To re-read all the chapters, for planes in Spanish airdromes
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the Armoured side
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm miss naval pron, but you're breaking my heart
But gun calibres don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Ooh, anymore
Ooh, anymore
Ooh, anymore
Anymore...
Hello from the Armoured side
I must've posted a thousand times
To tell you it's still 1937 after 2 years, but time takes longer on the inside
But when I call, the Butterfly seems to be quiet evermore

So it has come to this. If there was ever an AAR that delurks people, it would be the far, far slower than time one.
As both a student of History and of English, this is a great piece of work and though the gratuitous tech porn was sometimes overwhelming the attention to detail was deeply impressive.
I have no idea when the good Mr Pip (Senior now, as I understand it) shall post again but I hope he is well and that there might be greater things in store for us all.
So...just to say hi, I exist.

Jésus Christo, I thought I updated my AARs slowly. This takes the cake. I'll slowly read this AAR, since there is a lot of it to read.
