I'm still trying to find someone to trade their RSR to me on BGG. The closest I've come thus far is a guy that wants either my copy of Star Wars Rebellion or Imperial Assault.  :2funny:
If I've still got Red Storm Rising up in the loft, you're welcome to it. I don't know what postage would be like though. You mean Red Storm Rising by TSR right? I did have it. I don't know if I sold it at a car boot sale of it's still up in the loft. I'll check and let you know.

Yes indeed, RSR by TSR. Well sure, we can certainly look into it if you do, thank you much for looking.  8)

If JD can't find his, I got one you could maybe trade for...  8)


Pretty sure I might have a game or two you'd be interested in, ha.

Sorry BC - I don't have Red Storm Rising. I have
- both by TSR.

I also found the box of components for World War II:Pacific Theater of Operations...but no map unfortunately. I recall it being a huge thing

'Sokay, JD...thanks for looking regardless.

I had no idea Europe Aflame was one of TSR's games, so that's good to learn.

I have/had A Line In The Sand, somewhere. I might have gotten rid of it a while ago though as I haven't seen it and don't recall seeing it during my move.

 Norway has released its investigation report on the November 2018 loss of a frigate because of a collision.

What sank the frigate unexpectedly was slight damage that the ship was designed to handle. But safety features did not work. The collision revealed design defects in these new Nansen class frigates. The lost ship was nine years old and collided with a tanker for some immediately obvious reasons. The bridge watch made several mistakes (moving too fast, misidentifying other ships and general inability to deal with the situation) that led to the collision. The Nansen class ships were, on paper, difficult to sink. But a key safety feature (the stuffing boxes that sealed the bulkhead opening for the propeller shaft during flooding) did not work and the flooding spread to other parts of the ship that would have been watertight if the stuffing boxes had worked. This sort of thing has been encountered before, where ship design features that were supposed to prevent the spread of flooding but didn’t. The loss of the Norwegian frigate had many similarities with the loss of the Titanic in 1912.

"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side."   Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.
