I had an idea a while back about Squad merchandise (hats, T-shirts, coffee mugs etc.). The profit from those could be put towards the hosting cost, and it would be fairly easy (and free) to set up through someone like Cafepress.
I know my old squad (11th hussars) got a lot of trouble with some old vets about there name. After some long e-mailing they agreed on a proper name that wouldn't conflict with real life squads. They got virtual11th.com
We all admire and respect the real dambusters - and we can NOT pretend to be one of them. If you all understand what I meen...

True enough Thor. I guess if we had some way of showing that we are only playing a game, that'd be good.
I have someone else who knows html. We will need to change our site this year, March time frame I think. That's when the alamo-scouts fee is due. We can work on this together if you like.
Nice work by the way.
