Missed this... But, the only WWII 'site' I've been to is the Blockhaus in France. I've also been to places in Italy like the site of the San Terenzo/Bardine massacre, Fosdinovo castle (it lost a wing due to allied shelling as they pushed through the Gothic Line) and Castello Malaspina in Massa, which was a prison in the 20th century until the Nazis emptied it of all prisoners just before they withdrew from the city.

As far as that goes, I still like this version better.

Slight nitpick, the SAS didn't exist until July 1941 and even then it operated in North Africa.

Surely you didn't mean the SOE?

Still kind of hard when the first SOE operative didn't drop into France until May 1941.

Personally, I'd like to know how he got his hands on a pre-production Sten and a limited-edition Welrod...

I was thinking that those weapons became his specialties as the war progressed, not that he started with them. For an SMG, I'd think he'd originally have an MP-40, while for pistols an Mle. 1935 would be expected. As for the SOE/SAS, thing, you're absolutely right. It would be a bit of a logical jump for me to have that. Perhaps a captured Marine Commando that the maquisards freed, and whom Lamarche brought back to England over the channel? Then he could just stay there and fight with the RAF.

Fair enough. I don't think Tiger ever specified if they had to be current weapons of choice.

I can't wait until Smythe can get a sexy, wooden-stocked SMG with a side-loading 50 round magazine and a bayonet.

I was classifying it as something where the primary draw to it is its WWIIness, but it's also an actual 'site', not just something in a field and abandoned there. So, because the Bardine/San Terenzo thing has a museum, it's probably also a 'WWII site'. The others are castles which have a bit of a 'this happened in WWII' section to them.

Well I've been to the Muckleburgh Collection, the site of an anti-air training camp during WW2 as well as RAF bases that were part of Bomber Command.

Can Smythe be really horrified at Page's new attire too? :p

As for the theme music discussion of a few posts ago...somewhat to my surprise, given how hard I've tried to fuse WW2 with my own rock/roll sensibilities, I don't think I've ever come up with such a thing for either Page or Alix. There are certain themes and motifs I associate with their overall characters, but nothing that...condensed, yet. I don't know if I'll ever decide on one, either (with one possible exception).

Apparently Iron Maiden knows a Spitfire display team, even got 'em to do a low level flyby for the opening of one of their gigs.

I've seen that on Youtube, and it kicks much ass.

Friend of mine was actually there, though I was disappointed that they didn't open with Aces High as the Spits flew over.

Also, one of their roadies owned a pub in my neck of the woods where they did secret gigs.

Pat missed Carter too! On a side note, I just got back from Okinawa, and I got to tour some of the battle sites, such as Sugar Loaf Hill, the Japanese Navy Underground Tunnel, and Hill 89, where the Japanese Army made their last stand..
