Thank you gentlemen !
Gets my vote, for sure.
Thanks a lot !
Firstly wellcome aboard
Secondly. I have a similar scenario where the Arras counter atttack succeeds and cuts of the advanced German panzers. So France fights on.
Thirdly I was only thinking about a French P-40 myself on the way home yesterday from Telford. Great minds think alike ;D Really like yours :thumbsup:
Thank you very much !!
