So from where are you again?

woops, didn't even check to see if you had Africa in there, just figured it would be bypassed as always

done now, repping west-Africa

I just found out i'm living right on one of the contested areas in the battle of Gabon between Vichy forces and Free french

makes you realize how this truly was a 'world' war....

 

Now that is interesting. Other than in Algiers, we here nothing about Vichy French and Free French forces duking it out. Do you have any details?

 

Britain won't be on that list cos we're in the EU now and Johnny Foreigner wants to see an end to us.
