"Theatre" is considered somewhat pretentious for use on this continent.
"English, U.S." is considered pretentious by the rest of the world. :lol:

Early desert for me as its got the ramshackle/lashed together aspect i like once the germans get involved and it gets all organised i lose much interest :)

If you say so. Bear in mind that half of the US English you find odd is actually proper English originating from before 1776. Since then, you folks have drifted off the beam as much as we have.
If you are citing only the term "English, U.S." as pretentious. I don't know who coined it, but it does seem to serve a rather useful purpose since spelling, word meaning, and idiom differ significantly from UK English. We're simple not allowed to add those superfluous 'U's into words like "honour" and "colour." I know; I lost points in spelling tests as a lad for including the 'U' on some words. "Napkin" also apparently means something dramatically different here.
As Shaw said, "... divided by a common language" and all that.

1939-40 here. All sorts of historical actions, plus what ifs of Sea Lion too...
Though Winter War is also up there (even if subsumed into the massive Eastern Front option).

Surprised no Crete/Greece option (especially given PoD's liking for Greek Napoleonics), which would have been my first choice. Nice combo of air, naval and land ops; plus all the mini-Dunkirks.
Alternatively, Finland '39/Norway '40 (Finland still go through on away goals), and the early, early North Africa campaign (O'Connor v Graziani).
Tardis- 06-19-2009
Whilst I would say I have a penchant for early war
Abyssinia
Arab uprising
SCW
Winter War
Poland
Blitzkreig, low countries, France, Denmark etc
I have read mostly about the North African campaign...from Italy's adventures to the fall of Tripoli
So I picked Early desert
I can still like the Italian campaign and the slog across Northern Europe to defeat Germany
Cornet- 06-19-2009
I have read mostly about the North American campaign...from Italy's adventures to the fall of Tripoli
ahem, North African campaign?
Giles- 06-19-2009
Tardis has a point - I forgot the Aleutians.
Cornet- 06-19-2009
Perhaps, but Italy wasn't invited. And Tripoli is a bit of a hike.
Ronan the Librarian- 06-19-2009
I thought it was a reference to the Sopranos episode where they bomb Gadaffi.
doug- 06-19-2009
Alternatively, Finland '39
The Russian/Finnish dust up has an interesting 'what if' as British forces were on their way to aid the Finns when the war ended.

That's what comes of typing and talking to someone else
Why do women always think men can multitask?
Eccles- 06-19-2009
I aways find special ops really interesting.
Peewee- 06-19-2009
Llamas can multitask. I can burp and fart at the same time.
I could so easily have chosen any one of these, but since there's not an 'all of the above' option I voted for DAK. Nice to see there's a some interest in the Italians in N. Africa.

Well you've certainly had a few in your time, haven't you! :haha:
