Yep, I'll ask them. One of them told me about György Klapka was 
helding off quite a number of Austrians at the siege of Komarom.
He was defending the fortress. 

Man, it's a shame how I forgot all these things, as history was one of 
my favourite. .. Yet I could quote the hundred-so SW modules I used to 
work on. Work is quite good bleaching out not used knowledge.

If one is interested I'll get and translate some infos about Hungarian 
Generals in 1848-49. Question is, should it be posted on the list..?
(At least good for naming NSL ships. :-) )
