What's in a name?

What the **** do I call this thing?

I've been struggling to come up with a pithy title for the Bag the Hun scenario, which has been given the temporary but rather uninspiring label of 'Channel Clash'. This was in part due to the illustrious Mr Backhouse himself, who titled it 'Channel Dash' on the Lard Day Facebook page. While I'm always up for a challenge, I don't fancy scratch building the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen in 1/285th scale, so I thought a change of title might be a good idea. I'm narrowing it down to a couple of possible names, from the unlikely ('Exploding Perspex') to the more prosaic ('Alarmstart!') but it might just end up being called 'Buster, Buster!', if I can't think of anything more inspiring?

  1. In true Lard tradition don't you need something a little 'Carry On...' for the title?
    "Rumble in the Channel' or 'Bandits up the Channel'?

  2. How about Kanal Kampf or something based on the codenames for different RAF mission types, Ramrod, Circus, etc. ? I can't remember which was the name for a fighter sweep with bombers...

  3. I used to love me some Down in Flames. Left mine in storage in the UK and recently nearly bought it again at the local game shop.
    In a Lardy tradition, how about 'Sneaking up the Admiralties back passage'
