Australian Bases
 

Just what Australian bases will be in the stock game? They used to refit in Fremantle and Brisbane, they used to refuel/provision in Darwin, Cairns, Townsville, Broome.
Which, if any of these places, will be included?

Fremantle for sure & Brisbane highly likely
 

"Approximately 170 American, British and Dutch submarines made a total of 416 war patrols out of Fremantle Submarine Base during WW2."

You guys know where we can get some decent beer?

Anybody know any Sheilas?

Take it easy MATES' there will be what there was...Don't feel left out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ane/comp26.gif

should read "take it easy fellas"

mate is only used as singular except when referring to the group in a manner such as this:
"got a few mates comin over for a coupla quiet ones n some cricket".

when speaking TO a bunch of fellas, you just dont say mates it just doesnt quite gel.

tough language, australian..

Root me thong, you lot sound like a bunch of chooks. Youse can all come Down Under as long as you keep your sticky mitts off our sheilas, give us the aussie salute every now and then, try not to go troppo and sink more than just a few slabs and Bondi cigars.

I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down

Getting back to the topic.....;)

I hope that Sydney is included, even if it wasn't used as a base. I want to go sailing under the Habour Bridge!!!:up: If I want to be evil, I could shell Sydney like the the Japanes did!

Don't eat the Vegimite..... :rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl:

I still remember a trip to france a few years back, where i stayed with a french family in Paris for a few nights. Got out the jar of vegimite n a spoon, n told em to tuck in...

the taste of austraya!:rotfl:

My brother who now lives in usa gets the vegemite out and his american wife dry retches .

It's actually the same product as industrial petroleum grease. They bottle it for different markets. :yep:

You people use it wrongly, first of all, it ain't jam (jelly if you're a yank) so don't spread it so thickly.
Secondly, they used it for greasing the fish in uboats. That wasn't grease on the rag that Hit Lt Werner in Das Boot, it was vegemite. He didn't run off upset either, he ran off to suck the flavour out, and wipe his face with bread

So... if I'm docked at an Australian base am I allowed to hire on locals? Could use an extra hand to toss another shrimp on the barbie in the galley.

Just don't use Brisbane dock workers, otherwise you'll still be there when the war ends!:yep:
