24/8/85 - No code.

In the editorial Duke announces a new fan club, with all new code book. Only £1 for existing members to join.

7/9/85 - A new code, and the end of an era. I have no idea what this code says, as I was never a member of the new fanclub!


So there you are people... some interesting titbits, tantalising glimpses, and a desperate need to get rid of T Shirts!

If there is anyone out there brave - or bored - enough to take on the task of translating the few remaining codes from the Cobra era using the new codebook and fanclub V.2.0... have at it!

Hope you have enjoyed!
Tim

I have been reading a bunch of the old hard copies over the last week, and was thinking I needed the codebreaker to see what these things say...or I can just look in this thread.

Ok apparently the Black Major lost or sold to the highest bidder my bases copy of the Red Shadow Codebook.
Anybody have a good scan or picture of it, I can't seem to find it here on the site ??

Cool. Thanks for the quick response. I'm just starting to get back into the swing of things.
It's been almost 7 years apparently ! WOW ! Divorce, new marriage, move, rebuilding a house, kids, now some time for Joe/AF again.
