Ahem, yes Phread, there is still space, there is indeed.
The question is, will you still be there when the new Colonels arrive?
Also, no pets allowed.

Given DoW's lack of haste at providing us with an update/upgrade it seems quite probable that we shall be Brigadiers for a while longer, so I probably will be there.

I was in no hurry to become a Colonel, I just wanted to play and enjoy the game but after almost 1 year of being a Lt. Colonel and some help and inspiration from Phread and Jeronimon I can now buy a round of Patron Tequila for all you guys.
Salute!!!

Four french players in a row !!

Of course you, friends from across the ocean, must know that the beret myth is quite old fashioned : I've only ever known one person who occasionally wears a beret. Then again I'm not from the "Pays Basque".
As for the wine, cheese and baguette, guilty as charged.

I am also not from Pays Basque, but from les Pays Bas.
And I also do not wear a beret but for wine, cheese and baguettes, count me in.

It's not that important, but both Colonel Caverne and me have the same number (# 134).

I guess it's because there was another general promoted, and it caused a great disturbance in the Force !

Thank you Phread 
Kellogs_10 is motivated me to achieve this grade.
So I made a list of battles missing and there was a lot  (despite the fact that some battles do not count for obtaining the rank of colonel), including the Mediterranean and Pacific fronts that I like a little less  .
It has not been easy but I was helped at the end by the inexperience of cadets  , since we must also face 25 cadets! 
The next grade seems very far...

The journey from Colonel to Brigadier doesn't have to take too long if you work hard at it. 
It took me 18 days from the announcement of the new rank to earn the promotion.

And since Phread is probably still sleeping at this hour I would also welcome #140 Colonel Corregidor
Who won his promotion at the Liberation of Successful Defense of Paris as Axis.
Quite an accomplishment!
Tell us about your journey if you are so inclined, but be sure to get a drink first. Although in Paris I am sure the drinks were plentiful.

Hello, blow your trumpet away and welcome to
"Melissa pour a drink for Colonel Geeza Dude", the first on is on me, after that he will have to parasite on someone else.

Are you sure you're Dutch?

Yes I am dutch. (Just checked my passport.)
But from Limburg so that might explain my generous and Bourgondische lifestyle.

I think you got it almost right Dieder.
Rank has it's privileges and perks though, and that light was really to bright :
