Ok, folks. Wheels have been turning, fires have been burning, offerings have been made and drinks have been consumed.
We're going to get you folks to vote in a whole bunch of units again, so get your thinking caps on and open your favourite research materials to find units you'd like to see.
Remember that just simply nominating a unit is enough, but it's far far better to write up a bit of history with your nomination to show why it would be a good pick.
There'll be more to come in the next few days regarding format.
Talk to you soon!
To you from failing hands we throw the torch be yours to hold it high. -In Flanders Fields. John McCrea

German
U-99 - One of the most successful boats of WW2 and was captained by Otto Kretschmer - ace, honorable officer, and was later the a flotilla adm. in the West German navy. 35 ships sunk at 198,000 tons, 8 War Patrols, 2 wolf packs - but Otto was more of a lone wolf and would make a good anti wolfpack SA.... giving a 1 dice advantage if she U-99 is the only sub.
U-177 - Type IXD submarine and was equipped with Fa-330 rotary-wing kite that successfully spotted the Greek steamer Efthalia Mari and sunk it. She had 3 war patrols, 14 ships worth 87,000 tons.
Catapult Ship - per. suggested by WaratSea.
Togo - night fighter direction ship. She participated in the night fighter direction for the protection of Helsinki.
Sperrbrecher - a ship class used in both world wars to explode mines. It also have extensive AA and Barrage Balloons - they where used to escort many different types of ships but mostly u-boats.
Finland
Me-109 - 158 flew under Finnish control - 667 confirmed victories and only 34 loses.
*This is a living document and I will be adding more.*
In 1942 the German Kriegsmarine ordered two catapult ships, the "Bussard" and "Falke". These ships could launch up to 3 heavy flying boats like the BV 138, Do 18 or DO 24. They served as a forward bases in Danish and Norway waters for recon and surveilance missions. Booth survived the war. Set of 2 with 6 additional BV 138 flying boats.

The second will be controversial but I'd love to see a Team card for the Tillman Class IV-2 Maximum Battleship. Who wouldn't want to see that going up against Yamato!
