Yes. If we did El Alamein Sod’s law says someone every couple of shows would just go “right, here’s what Monty did”. Ditto the OTL BoB.I hadn't thought about the point Kingston makes there about the other reason for it being different from OTL - not just to make an invasion more plausible, but to stop people defaulting to what was done in OTL. That never really came up in e.g. Time Commanders but here we are dealing with a situation much more implanted into our national consciousness.

A bit, but we’re in control so you can’t do that. “Build thousands more tanks now” meets an answer of “that will take months, sir”. You can withdraw everything to London and make the city into Stalingrad, but tbh that’s actually kind of cool.How often have people specifically tried to "munchkin" (play in an unfair, unrealistic way designed more to 'win' then just enjoy the spectacle) the game as-is?
I was actually wondering about that before I arrived, possibly combined with the gas thing.You can withdraw everything to London and make the city into Stalingrad, but tbh that’s actually kind of cool.
Thank god this is not in America. I would be depressed by who shows up in a MAGA hat.
It isn’t a huge spoiler to say there is an opportunity to vote on a ceasefire and agreement with the Germans in 1940, however it has only ever passed once, and in that instance we had a plan in place to keep the war going - and explaining that would involve spoilers.We have a tendency to disinvite those sorts from academic exercises like this. Basic literacy and arithmetic being requirements of this type of thing, however, means I can't imagine many scenarios where the audience of 1940 can avoid the post-occupation State of Affairs in 1944
Thankfully we’ve never had anyone explicitly advocate Going All Nazi. We have had a member of the IRL armed forces try to order our troops to begin carrying out mass rapes in the field (despite the fact we were fighting on British soil, on top of everything else) but that proposal was, shall we say, robustly rejected.
Without doubt, we have. Why do you ask?Umm, hate to bring controversy on to my head, but have you had any Little Englanders or Leave-voting Brexiteers as the audience. I know you would not have asked them if they were, but I'm only wondering.
Cracking stuff @Meadow! Wish I was able to come down for either 1940 or 1944.
@Other Non London Politibrits, organise a meet up for Crisis? What Crisis?

In all seriousness, I suspect he was trying to have a laugh, but slightly worrying if 'fuck the enemy to death' is his answer to an invasion.
