Positioned in a well protected firing position in the platoon's front-line trench was a weapon that Hargreaves had only read about. She remembered from her time in West Berlin that the British garrison there was supposed to still have them in reserve storage, but had not actually seen any deployed....

Go Poland!!

I was going to be in Gdansk this weekend, not related to anything TLW, but family issues prevented this happening.

Understatement of the timeline.

This is where events get out of Soviet control.

Happy 400th Jan!

Aberdeenshire Council (IIRC) built a really well constucted, well equipped bunker, protected against blast, radiation etc. Then then ruined all the blast protection by including an ordinary window in the exterior of the bunker! :roll: :lol: I bet Balamory had a better designed bunker. Colour-coded,...

Great update, as always.

Just a random thought. Any special plans for chapter 400, when that comes around?

When I put Barleylands into Google, it came up with details for Basildon Council.

Was that one of the helpful clues left unredacted, or a little misdirection?

The article reads very generically. Corporate 'uplifting ' style, but nothing to grab the reader really.

Could be AI created?

“What a mistake to make.” He muttered. “Are the M60s ready to go?”

Bertorelli isn't reporting to a General Erich von Klinkerhoffen, by any chance?

There are no issues with stolen large-breasted paintings either?

While the bunker was being refurbished for its new role, the NEV had tried to convince Bristol City Council to move its Emergency Centre to the bunker so that it could be co-located with their H.Q. However, the council could not be moved (both literally and figuratively) from retaining their existi...

Hauptmann Günter Bock clearly has domestic feline dna. He will only stop respawning after the 9th time... As for the rest. It sure looks like the Korean front is resembling the original Korean War, including hand to hand combat. Will there be a cameo appearance from a certain mobile army surgical ho...

Always glad to see this back.

A cliff-hanger and another potential one being set up.

Also enjoyable to have some AS90 action when the replacement for OTL AS90 is currently trending.

Changing to Rheinmetall L55A1, so yes, commonality with the rest of Nato.

Yes, my 'missing' flip-phone, No doubt projected hence by low-flying PolterCat. Upside, I did not get around to installing / activating spare phone, so that's not an issue. But, CATS !!! Cats. Can disprove the flat earth theory. They would have pushed every movable object off the edge by now if the...

Ahh the Romanians. Fall guys at Stalingrad, the change of sides hasn't done them any good. What happened to the Ceausescu era semi-independent approach to the Soviet Union? Was there a violent change at the top similar to otl, but more Soviet loyalist. Pity about Helsinki Station, but it is very lar...

Putin, 5D chess playing and unfortunate 5th 1st floor open window accidents, hmmm that will end well?

Zelenzky on his Grecian vacation with extreme prejudice. Ukrainian family history? Nascent comedy career stifled?

I enjoyed this chapter.

No question from me.

Well the Militia thing seem bigger than first seen. Not enough rifles for 1 Glosters? What the role the rebuilt 1 Glosters is going to be? Stay well Jan. It looks like the barrel is being scraped with regards to equipment. I guess no massive lend-lease to come to the rescue either as the USA has it...

She's still in better shape than Admiral Kuznetsov

Excellent!

Well over three hundred by now.........

Rumour hath it that he marinaded for a while in the same brandy cask that they brought Admiral Nelson back home in.
