On This Day... |
 1939Less than 1 month after the start of the war, the German government issues a statement claiming that all organized fighting in Poland has ended. It states "The Polish Army of a million men has been defeated, captured, or routed. No single Polish active or reserve division escaped this fate. Only fractions of individual groups were able to avoid immediate destruction by fleeing into the swamps of eastern Poland. They succumbed there to Soviet troops. Of the entire Polish army only an insignificant remainder still is fighting at hopeless positions in Warsaw, in Modlin and on the Hela Peninsula.". [Polish troops surrendering to Germans] 1944In the Yap Islands, part of the US 81st Division occupies Ulithi Atoll after naval reconnaissance suggests it is not in use by the Japanese. Work begins on converting the atoll into a major American naval base. [Ulithi naval base] [Sorlen Island, Ulithi] |

Poll Results |
|
Thank you to everyone who voiced their opinion and thank you for playing ET here at the Chickenbucket. The question and answer choices for the poll did cause some early confusion which did lead to some people voting YES when they should have been voting NO. No was the option to kill the server off due to limited/negligible player connections and based on comments alone this should put the No result clearly 5 to 8 points ahead of Yes. So this means that the server will be closed down soon. But we are looking at all new gaming options and if enough people get behind a game they want to play a new server will rise from the ashes. The forum will remain for everyone to keep in touch |
