As much as Medieval Polish Armies appeals, I'm going to have to go with B-25 Mitchell Units of the MTO.

Why not both? Or all five?

Got in this morning.

*except I can't check out.
Says, "The address you have selected does not match the store you have selected. Please switch your store to continue."

I'm not sure what that means.

You're probably defaulted to the UK store instead of the US store.

I'm seeing it reported that when you create an Osprey account, it defaults to UK. If you're then trying to log in from a US address, it won't allow you to do so and you'll never be able to log in. Try creating a new account and make sure you select US as part of the account creation.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

I didn't realize it was an account-creation issue though. Or how or why it wouldn't allow you to log in and then change your location. Programmers are the worst. :wink:

I’d disagree with you, but I’ve seen the shit that I and other programmers have written.

That's great, except that while I was trying to get logged in it started disliking my password, so I requested a password reset. That was last night and I've still not gotten my new password :grund: . So I give up. Since these are free, if someone can post the PDFs from weeks 3 & 4, please PM me with a link. And week 1 if you have them, since I missed the start of all this :roll:
