Well the idea for choosing the Drakelow Tunnels should be obvious due to it's similarity of use with the tunnels under Berlins Tempelhof Airport.
Both site were built during WW2 as underground factories.

Drakelow Tunnel history
F&O have informed me that some new parts of the tunnels will be open to us since the last game :D
This is one of the most exciting fun sites in Britain and also a piece of living history.
Please take the time to look into the info on this great site.

I have been asked what is wrong with German SS camo?
In principal I don't have anything wrong with the odd person wearing it but the problem seems to arise that everyone turns up in the stuff :roll:

It just seems so wrong wearing camo in a city but I accept maybe the SS only wore camo but it still looks wrong to me and such a shame when field grey looks so much better.

I think I will go and watch Down Fall again and see if that changes my mind :D

However I did just find this 2 part video on youtube to put people in the mood for the fall of Berlin and yes sure enough in part 2 there is quite a bit of SS camo :roll:

I think the Russians with the field gun in the Berlin underground looks good so maybe I may be lending Porta my M3 for the day :happyswing:

Anyway watch this awesome video.
