        Perhaps my posting it wasn't very Nice. *tiddy-boom*

        I didn't think the town names were very good, either, but the highways made me laugh out loud.

          The highways are somehow worth it and educational (I didn't know there was a guderian bypass right through the Maginot line in 1940, and I didn't know the 1940 attack on Paris used the same route as the 1870 one).

          But the city names are pathetic.

                  I liked the highways . The towns became too corny to read after half a dosen or so.

                    I guess I am kind of simple minded but I liked Spareus. It reminds me of a gambling city in Nevada called Wendover. The locals from Utah who frequent it call it "Bendover."

                      It would be better if they would actually use more french words, such as Aperitif pour l'allemagne.

                      That provoked a chuckle.

                          I like Ix's map.
                          I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
