I did a short four or five hour tour of Arnhem with a buddy five years ago. It was just a one day excursion from the Nijmegan marches. Arnhem was a busy little city. Its war history will not go unnoticed even if you are just passing through.

Special feel isn't it? I stood at that very same spot Mooxe, except I was facing the other way, wiggling on my tows and imagining early morning and an umbrella in my hands... 8)

I'm re-reading Cornelius Ryan's A Bridge Too Far again, it is quite graphic and detailed in terms of what went on in the streets, but I'm betting you've got it on your shelves already. Here's to a jolly release and my thanks go out to the entire team. After all these years, there are still quite some familiar names around. Quite special to see fans/modders and companies merge into something great, good show, goed gedaan  Wink
