Attention All Unit Commanders! Your HQ Location is requested.

As a fun little exercise, I think it might be fun if unit commanders check in below by posting a photo identifying the location of their respective HQ's so that Kamiko and Glynnis can post it on the big map.  Please note that if the exact location is a closely guarded secret, that's okay; we understand. Just let us know the country, real or imaginary and the approximate timeline.  If your HQ is not on Earth, then you need to supply your own map as well.

"And no, Middle Earth is not an acceptable location."

If I were not already character-crushing on Capt. Penny-Farthing, that line would have sealed the deal. Middle Earth, how I loathe thee!

I imagine Erika would see no problems with Kamiko's map.

I'll send out the word to my command and encourage them to respond... in a timely manner. (If procrastination were a strength, we'd all be super-heroes around here!)

Excellent lighting on Fräulein Erika. Love the '40s style curling cigarette smoke.

I have my suspicions as to where Stahltruppe is based: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/german-pow-iron-cross

To make anyone look sinister, light them from below. Stahltruppe is much further to the north and west of Roswell, which is firmly in control of the the regular forces of the His Majesty's United States of America and the New Mexico Guard.

Ah. That makes sense. Germans from the North Africa campaign were housed here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Albuquerque

What a fantastic idea! I will have too see if Jenna can dig out a map, so the the Agents of BAM can join in too

No Middle Earth maps. Remember that.

Not sure I got it all and surely not the pun about "middle earth map".

Anyway, here is one of the boys exploring the deepest south of Belgium :

Great looking figure D!

Oh, you're in Belgium? One of my longest-term online contacts, going back many many years across several online forums, lives in Hasselt.

And one of my long-term doll photography friends lives in Ghent.

Neither of which are in the south.

Woburn abbey is about 10 minutes away from where I live.

Um...I've never actually been to the abbey. Although I visit the safari park on a regular basis

Visiting the Abbey is well worth it. I was 12 years old at the time and didn't much care until we got to the basement. Then my attitude changed.
