Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.
The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.
The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.
One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/
There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.
Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.
Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.
All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.
Carentan was of strategic importance to the Allies, as the link up point between Omaha and Utah beaches, and was the most hotly contested area on the invasion front between June 9-12, 1944. Frederich Von der Heydt’s FJR.6 formed a latch plate astride the main road into Carentan, effectively blocking the Utah and Omaha beachheads. Von der Heydte set up his Regimental HQ at Ingouf Farm, deployed his 3rd Battalion and set up MG and mortar positions in the fields, hedgerows, and nearby orchards east of the N13 road from Dead Man’s Corner to Ste. Come du Mont.
I really liked this one Wayne. The background fits scale and the theme "perfectly". Now where are those Paratroopers? You know, the ones that ambush the MG?
