Out of interest I priced it... holy shit.... before hotels it would cost just for the flight £1100 which equats to $1747. Bit pricey. Im thinking a booking for tankfest week at Bovington Tank Museum would be cheaper or even a trip to Normandy.

Don't know what exactly you're looking for, Bootie - but my search-fu came up with a lowest price of € 870, which is not quite £ 730. This is for Glasgow-Atlanta on Aug. 16, Atlanta-Glasgow on Aug. 20. I recommend checking on www.swoodoo.com.
By the way, I would love to come but that kind of trip would be outside my budget even if it were a third of the price...
But I wanna see pics and hear steaks and Shermans sizzling!

I was looking for it from Aberdeen to Atlanta. Still outside my budget now a trip to Holland or France is doable.

I'd come to a meeting anywhere in Europe, no sweat. You know, if we organize a gathering somewhere in Europe concurrent with Fredrock's, we could a play a real-time Axis vs. Allies tourney. Now THAT would ROCK big time! lol
Seriously, anybody interested in a FGM Europe meeting?

I meant playing CMBN, actually. You know, the European gang as the Axis and the US gang as the Allies or something. Kind of a live tourney.
Anyway, Holland would be fine with me. Last time I was there was with my parents about 20 years ago. So, are you inviting, then, DG? ;-)

Hey DG, Cuijk is strategically located: close the Overloon War Museum as well!
If this European get-together goes through I will do my best to be there. But don't know if I'll play. Perhaps just get my head around the corner to say HI!

I am still having a party on the Dates August 17,18,19 (Fri-Sun), I will provide all the food (Friday Dinner through Sunday Lunch) and booze, etc, have a nice inground pool and excellent deck for entertaining...and there are plenty of Motels within 2 miles of my place for people to stay (House isnt big and got two kids and a grand kid so no room sorry).... so anyone and everyone is welcome...

I'll go ask my wife for a european gathering. We could visit the Overloon museum and Arnhem.
I would remind you of that old military saying, DG...."Tis better to seek forgiveness than permission."
