2, Vichy; 3, the Frogs under the little Corsican bastard; 5, the Yanks, in 1812; 6 and 9, the Kriegsmarine; 7, the Argies; and 8, the Kaiserliche Marine. Was 4 really ours? As I recall, Them took on South Yemeni cadres and the Omani Adoo.... But was that technically 'our' fight?

Yes, well.

I don't mind the SAS, but they really can be rather ... SAS at times.
