Either Gibraltar or Zeebrugge could be appropriate, although there are probably others (I used Zeebrugge myself for a piece I did on an Independent Troop in Plymouth a while ago and it's also been used for a piece on the etranger website).

Just thinking that it might serve two purposes.

1. Increase the espirt de corps

2. Help operational security by making the unit's purpose less obvious

I like that Dave, I will go with that on the next version. I like Zebrugge Coy but you have used that so will check 43 Commando's history for another name.

Glad you like the idea. My take on the UK in T2K is purely my own, so if you want to use Zeebrugge Company, I have absolutely no problem with that at all - it's entirely up to you...

Expanded version.

Dave, much as I like the name Zebbrugge Group, I found the ideal name in 43 Commando's history which fits better as they have inherited their traditions.

For anyone who gets the really bad joke reference in the portrayal in the media section, I am sorry...

Nice, very nice.

And you shouldn't play jokes on the media, they don't play nice!

Right now in the UK I think you would get a round of applause for shooting certain sections of the media...

Yeah, I heard about the demise of the News of the World (NOW what will I use to start fires?)
