    Yes, that's what we'll do. Good idea.

    I promise not to write a ten book trilogy.
  5. Designated Targets discussion ww2.2: contains spoilers

    Well they won't be 'in use' by late 1942, just in development. Even with all the processing muscle the Allies now have, and the expertise of all those engineering graduates they brought with them, you still have to retool factories etc. Targets takes place about four months after the...

    LOL. You know, you would've had to wait until Oct 25 whether you won the cricket and rugby or not. But I can't blame you for revelling in it. It was such a long time between drinks.

    I remember thinking as I was watching this movie that, yes, Paris was feasible, but that New York was not. The 10 second incubation period rules out transmission vectors such as airlines or even global shipping. It is entirely possible, and probable that the speed of infection would see it get...

    Hello Odin. Spoilers follow. I take your point about Himmler. It's reasonable. I should have made it more obvious that the SS controls the exploitation of all future technology and thus all future information (plus that info is patchy, not perfect, which I did point out a couple of times)...
