Hello Scott,
With “all due deference” I admire your unbridled zeal, and your “seniority by virtue of sheer volume of message traffic”, but even though we equally share a common Scottish ancestry and enthusiasm for the King and Country Market Garden Series, think we will have to agree to disagree over a fundamental premise. As I have previously expressed on this forum regarding the theme of the series, believe it should be “Defiance not Defeat” regarding the action of the British 1st Airborne Division at Arnhem. Further, would certainly prefer see a figure depicting Maj Richard T. H. “Dickie” Lonsdale DSO,MC,(Lonsdale Force), rather than either LtGen Frederick Arthur Montague "Boy" Browning GCVO KBE CB DSO, OC 1st*Allied Airborne Army, or for that matter, Field Marshal Sir Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st*Viscount of Alamein, KG GCB DSO PC, OC 21st*Army Group. Even think that Antony Beevor OBE, would strongly concur. If you may have forgotten where I'm coming from, you may want to scan; http://arnhemjim.blogspot.com/p/operation-market-garden.html .

Even if as the “Creative Director”, Andy Neilson graciously condescends to a reprieve of the series, hope he doesn’t inject any further “artistic license” into either “the historically accurate” figures or equipment. With all the best wishes for Hogmanay and the new year.

When it comes to 'graciously condescending', Jimbo...I tip my hat to you in that particular department...
Adios for the moment,
Andy.
