Happy Birthday Widowmaking - It is now official you can now partake in 'old Dad dancing'!

'Hey....I used to be an Adventurer like you....Until I took an Arrow to the Knee' Milk Drinker! Better get to it - I have done enough Lollygagging.

Lothar This is excellent - thank you for sharing it with us.

Just a quick Hi and hope alls well Due to work and a broken computer I have been away from OFF, although I have kept an eye on the forums. I now have time betwwen jobs and a new computer to begin an OFF campaign and of course carry on trying to skin.

Thanks I will start with a campaign as I have not played for sometime.

Another favorite of mine I don't want to join the army, I don't want to go to war. I'd rather hang around dear old London town, Living off the earnings of a lady typist. I don't want a bayonet in my belly, I don't want my bollocks shot away. I'd rather stay in England, in merry, merry England, And fornicate this bleedin' life away. A good book on the subject is: The Daily Telegraph Dictionary of Tommies' Songs and Slangs, 1914-18 by John Brophy & Eric Partridge

'When this rotten war is over' is my favourite - it was my tank troop smoker (drinking beers around a large fire) song!

A belated welcome also from me

' To the Gentlemen at the top I couldn't agree more and my thanks also go out to the Combatace administrators for letting you weirdly wonderful chaps in here... this is without doubt the only WW1 Forum I will ever need... all of you make this feel like a special place to visit. So I am in definite agreement... to Widowmaker Lou Olham and all you who are too numerous to mention dont forget the wonderful developers for creating this madness... the Combatace guys and girls et al... and last but not least that old timer in the corner of the mess that is UncleAl' I whole heartily agree - you only have to visit other site forums to realise that this forum is very special!

Totally agreed

Excellent - Thank you widow for sharing with us. Hasse Wind - 'However, all too often you could replace 'politician' with 'general' or 'admiral' in a poem such as that' As a British soldier of 23 years, I also had my fair share of incompetent junior and field offiers.

Excellent bit of writing - look forward to reading more - keep it coming!

Excellent historical skin Keep them coming!

I would be happy to skin any type, although most off my skinning to date has been on German fighters, I have started to skin Nieports,Pups, Camels and RE8's

At last, I now have the time to start my DiD pilot and would be happy to share my limited skills

A belated congratulations from me also

Agreed Thank you for uploading them

Yet another great skin - keep then coming!

One for Widowmaker and the other Brits........ Just been outside and got hit on the head by a lasagne, a black forest gateau and a garlic baguette?!! Must be the fall out from Iceland!

Agreed. Look after yourself - you will be missed

Still a work in progress - another paint job for my Jasta 6 DiD pilot

Work in porcess Albatros DVa Jasta 77b 1917 - Unknown pilot Based on Albatros D5385/17. Original aircraft had a much more simplified version of 'Moritz' - a popular cartoon character from the 'Max und Moritz' comic strip by Wilhelm Busch (many say is one of the fathers of the comic strip).
