I don't know...last I saw he had more of a jaundice type palor rather than
livid :) [and he must be getting rather careless, losing them all the time.
Maybe he ought to invest in maps for them.]

That's good...The RBR [Royal Brik-torian Regiment] are currently uundergoing
reorganisation, and have currently been divided into 2 companies, with a
third on the way. They are also equiping with a detachment from the 3/10
light horse [tank] RBE [Royal Briktorian engineers] (Who specialise in
proximity minefields...flying craft are not immune, and who have graciously
provided the odd defensive bunker or two) and other sundry corps assistance.
In fact, The Briktoria Barracks are also in the design stages, and will
hopefully have begun construction by the time the invasion occurs.

Sounds good..maybe a dog-fight between the SS and the Briktorian LCS

Meanwhile the RBR are undertaking a recruitment drive...Any Johnny Thunders
or Baron Von Baron [the fig in 5914] would be greatfully accepted into the
regiment.

I take it Ahabs historians are still trying to put a positive slant on the
outcome of the battle last month...
