Why Swindon??

Does anyone know why Swindon is on my map? (GWX, don't know if it is in stock too)
It's in-land, does it have some historic WW2 significance that I am unaware of?

In Stock, Cardiff is labelled as Merthyr Tidfil which alwasy made me chuckle, seeing as Merthyr is on top of a bloody great hill. :DL

I actually have a lot of cities that have no significance on WW2 on my map. Why should Swindon be of any difference?

Because that is the location/residence of the Grey Wolf who scripted it into the GWX campaign layer http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

As GWX is so great, I'll forgive the indulgence, but is does make me chuckle.

Nope, no Spaniards were harmed during the development of GWX :DL

There are a few more locations but I can't remember them right now...there was also a one for me, it wasn't on the doorstep but it was a submarine base during the war.
