JimZ Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO ALL ESPECIALLY TO HAUPTMANN. I missed a post updated the wrong score. I am therefore revising the scoreboard as below. Scoreboard update! 24 points - JimZ 16 points - Harvey 13 points - UB6365 13 points - Christophe 12 points - Hauptmann 8 points - Gunner 1 3 points - Valter 2 points - kapten_windu 1 point - Tachel Which makes the struggle for third place even more interesting than before!!! Once again my apologies!! Hauptmann's question 92 to follow! :jumping: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I was the only one of my kind that was built for and entered Soviet service during WW2 that was blessed by a priest. I was to be the prototype for a new class but I was the only one built. What am I? Why was I blessed by a priest? Dan :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Clue #1: My home was in the water. Clue #2: I was painted blue and earned my nickname from this. Dan :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) I'm lost...
