THEIR CRACK OF "bATTLE sHIPS!" aNOTHER NEW GROUP HAS BEEN FORMED IN gERMANY,
IT'S "the wanderer group" WITH speedcracker (eX-tRIANON) AND starline (u KNOW).
aLWAYS BE CAREFUL WITH THEIR CRACKS 'CAUSE THEY PROMISED ONLY TO CRACK
(UNREADABLE)
"rEISENDE IM wIND 2", "sCHATZJAEGE" AND MANY OTHER gERMAN RUBBISH! aND ALSO BE
VERY CAREFUL WITH the fantastic crew FROM gERMANY, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE
BLOODIEST RECRACKIN' FUCKERS ON EARTH. tHEY RECRACKED laffen'S (rdi) VERSION OF
