Hoooray! Even the last Episode of Series eleven can sustain me even that long. Spitfires+Battle of Britain music+Clarksons humour = win.

Oh and don't the trailers look good :) . There was what appeared to be truck racing (in the vein of the MPV racing they had before)

Nice up-date C'est Moi. Im hungry for what comes next.

Tanesis,
 
We could put them all in as Leaders, Tech Team etc.

Suggestions so far:

Leaders -
FM (Skill 1, Old Guard) - Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett
Gen (Skill 2, Logs Wizard, Def Doctrine) - Kevin Darling
Gen (Skill 6, Logs Wizard) Michael Palin
Mj Gen (Skill 4, Offensive Doctrine) - Prince Harry (Prince William could be, simultaneously, a Rear Adm, Mj Gen of air and Mj Gen of Land)

And I'd love, (completely randomly) for Gen Sir Harry Flashman to make an appearance

Tech Teams -
Virgin (or Richard Branson) - specialise in electronically style stuff
Gordon Ramsay
BBC?
Some gloriousl hopeless British venture, like Rover MG or Network Rail
 
Is that a Le I see in your name sir?

And a Jones!

You evil French/Welsh hybrid get off my AAR at once!
:p

Update soon and it won't be in the annoying transcript format I've been using so far.
 
If you include these guys (or at least the one in the middle) as leaders I have no choice but to follow your AAR :D

I'm as British as Queen Victoria! (Cue Blackadder comments). As for the French:

What has this fellow done? Apart from pop over to France to grab a few French nobs from the ineffectual clutches [tosses pimple into the fireplace] of some malnourished whingeing lefties, taking the opportunity while there,
no doubt, to pick up some really good cheap wine and some of their
marvelous open-fruit flans...

Doesn't anyone know? We hate the French! We fight wars against them! Did all those men die in vain on the field at Agincourt?

Was the man who burned Joan of Arc simply wasting good matches?

Blackadder III :rofl:
 
*Subscribed*

Punishable acts that would require immediate attention from the UBRA

Not drinking tea at least 3 times a day.

Not sleeping in pyjamas.

Saying americans, french and so on. Each different nations population have an according name (Yanks, Frenchies, Ruskies etc.)
-------

I also suggest our scientists begins researching on a possible rain/fog machine. They would be installed all around the country

Why? Isn't England rany/foggy enough?

I thought that Sade was French, but I see I was mislead. :rofl:
 
For those of you still watching this, it's not dead it's just I screwed up MDS somehow and haven't yet got round to reinstalling it.
I'm also going to be adding in a load of stuff to British the entire thing up.
So sit back and play the waiting game.
Or read other AARs for a bit.
Your choice.

Hurrah! It lives!
 
I just noticed this. Hugh Laurie is the Foreign Minister? I have to follow this, now!

I thought this was dead and now I've been told it's not Grrreat.

Tanesis,
 
I just remembered somebody that must not be missed.
If you ever get into a tight spot, unable to sell or buy resources, there is ony one company that can help you:
TIT
OnlyFoolsDM_468x371.jpg


I've just watched that Fools and Horses episode when Dells seling to that Asian fellow that stolen paint, and came to this idea when Dell started explaining to Rodney the deep impact stealing some paint can make on countrywide economy.
 
Some of you might think I've been delaying and will never get around to doing this.
I will but my version of the installer is corrupted and my computer won't let me download a new one.

So, for all you fan(s) out there, AS SOON AS the new MDS is up this will be starting again.
You have my terribly British word.
 
I'm bored so a short non game based update.
Also a taster of what's to come.
:D

Lord Fry said:
People of Britain, collective dears to me! Today is the 28th of September, henceforth known as Britain day!
*Rapturous Applause*
I trust you are all seated with tea and biscuits?
Good, then I shall begin.
Too long have we sat on this damp little island dreaming of days past!
On this day we shall go forth from our damp little island and bring tea, queueing and sarcastic wit to all in our path!
*More Applause*
And where better to start than with a nation who is against all we stand for?
They drink coffee, don't know how to queue in an orderly manner and think eating frogs is the height of hilarity!
These people are of course the French!
*Boos from the audience*
So I urge you dear Britons, take up the crumpet to beat down the croissant!
Tomorrow we go to CALAIS!

But that's all in the future, now, dear people, the games shall begin!


*15 chavs armed only with knives enter the middle of the arena. Each one has a teabag tied to him. They look around them, bemused.
15 tea deprived criminals (who are otherwise perfectly British) enter the ring and form a queue.
The screams and cheers can be heard in the bombed out ruins of Milton Keynes.*
 
Milton Keynes Gone!
Chavs slaughtered! Our glorius Lord Fry attacking the French! TEA!
A dream of glory and hapiness has come upon us!
 
They drink coffee, don't know how to queue in an orderly manner and think eating frogs is the height of hilarity!

Actually we think it's the height of gastronomy.

To confuse gastronomy with hilarity is, I am afraid, the peculiar curse affecting Britain. Britain, the land where they kill animals twice : they kill them once in the slaughterhouse, and then they defile them in the kitchen.

:D
 
AHHHHHHHHHHH!
'Tis a frog!
Kill him before he leaks our plans!
:D

Good to know I don't just have English people reading this and imagining/planning what it might be like if this actually happened.
A bit of diversity in the audience is always good.

Lets just say, this time no Spitfires will ride to the rescue if the Panzers roll again. :D
 
The continued lack of MDS has caused me to be bored and write up some more non game updates.
ENJOY!

Chapter Eye Vee: Expect the unexpected. But not too much.

Top Secret Government Planning Room.
Discussion of Operation Hush-Hush - The invasion and taking of land in France.
His Britishness, Sean Bean - Chief of Army, Paul Merton - Chief of Navy, Ian Hislop - Chief of Air Force and Field Marshall Alan Davis are present.
Everyone is gathered around a table observing a map drawn by the Field Marshall.

His Britishness is first to speak.
"Umm, Alan, this appears to have been drawn with crayon"
"Yep, I had trouble staying in the lines, sorry"
"Oh that's ok dear. Oh, but look! You've rather cleverly drawn the divide formerly between East and West Germany!"
"Ummm, actually I ran out of yellow."
"Oh. Well proceed with your report."
"Righty ho. The red areas are Britain and bits that used to belong to Britain in France."
Sean Bean cuts in, "Yes and these are our objectives for the war. We will land in Calais, Normandy and Aquitaine then demand these pieces from the French."
Ian Hislop interrupts, "Why don't we just take the whole place? The French will surely surrender when they see Alan at the head of the 1st and Only Pointed Stick Division!"
Paul Merton confirms this but then continues, "Yes, but why would we want the rest?"
Everyone murmurs their agreement.
His Britishness interjects with the wisdom he is renowned for Britain-wide.
"This action will surely anger the EU, we'll have to use clever diplomacy and espionage to stop them from opposing us."
"Poison the major leaders under a guise of showing them a new healthy eating campaign?" asks Merton.
"Exactly, I'll go get Mr Oliver and Mr Connery."
A small voice from the corner, it's Mr Connery's.
"No need, I'm still here."
