Ground Zero?

Did we ever figure out where Action Force's new H.Q. was located in Europe? I just reread the beginning of the series and how there was supposed to be a "Big Cash Prize" for the one who guessed correctly where it was located in Europe... Heh...

So, anybody privy to where it was? Maybe someone cornered an editor at one time back in the past?

Wow. Did everybody die, or what?

Ya byil v kavkazkaya plennitsa.

So at least I'm not dead yet, back in civilisation picking over its bones.

On which note I have no idea where the base was apart from a huge anti-climax when it never seemed to be revealed.

Some people thought it was in Kent.

Dover? I remember cliffs in it at one point...

Yep, oh the irony...

Otherwise, Tromso. Bit fkn far from the central front though....

I remember desert too.

Maybe it was Gibraltar.

I remember Stalker getting a ride in a Skystriker from Africa and he crossed a desert and the ocean. The base was located near a large body of water! The hints said it was in Europe somewhere...

In which case let us consider the evidence more closely... and the options are (in no particular order):

1 Dover
2 Rosyth (?sp? apologies to Scotch)
3 West Coast of Ireland
4 Ascendancy Island (buggers took it from

when made redundant)
5 Gibraltar
6 Saxa Vord
7 Tromso
8 Reykavik
9 Sorrento
10 Count of Monte Cristo's island off of Marseille
11 Crimea (CCCP cooperating after Gorby's ascendance to the Politburo, according to the Fourth Protocol of the Helsinki Basket)
12 Smyrna
13 Corsica
14 Crete
15 Santorini
16 Lebanese/Syrian border on the mediterranean
17 Dalmatian Coast (Tito's heirs cashing in on their real-estate to buy small arms and villas in Montenegro)
18 Montengrin Coast (if not already Dalmatia)
19 Taranto
20 Ibiza

Not that Duke-esque AF excites any emotion in me.

Always thought it was Dover somehow, I'm sure in one story they flew over the White Cliffs to get to the base.

so I guess it was never confirmed?
