Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers.
While October is the traditional time of the year for Stone-free wordage on THC, I thought I’d publish this piece on UoC2 add-ons kindly submitted by Martynas “JcDent” Klimas while it’s fresh.

Stretching from The Wash to Portland Bill, England’s sash of grass-topped chalk is emblazoned with dozens of huge hillside geoglyphs.

Scanning the notes I penned while playing HQWW2 this week, I can’t find anything resembling an aggro anecdote. There’s no chunk of shorthand reminding me of that bit in Mission 4 of the US campaign when I spent an absorbing half hour hunting a Tiger with nothing but a green bazooka team and a singed/scared Greyhound, or that spell in Mission 2 of the Brit Campaign when my Red Berets, using smoke, pluck, and Sten guns, overran a German position, then used the Pak 40 they captured to see off a counterattack involving a Panzer IV and several halftracks.
Apologies, a family illness has scuppered my plans to deliver a Headquarters: World War II review today. If you’d like to know why Slith’s risk-averse newcomer has failed to dislodge the likes of The Troop, the Battle Academies, and Second Front, from the upper echelons of my pop WW2 TBT top ten, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until Sunday.
