23:03 - Perperations for the 2 new Conning Tower sections are going along nicely. They are WWI section (all 442 WWI commanders and other niceties) and the new huge Allied Warships in WWII (over 5000 ships at least when launched).

In addition to the items shown here above we made some 640 additions or changes in our databases during October 2002.
