Again, Albert Speer himself said those weapons didn't exist. At his trial. Where we were hanging Nazis like Christmas lights. If anyone ever had more reason to come clean about a secret I would be surprised. His claims that such a project never existed, he would have known. Ockham's razor dictates we scale back the wide-eye dreaming a bit here, kids. Really? Those rotten Nazis misled us? They didn't produce 'Buna' at Auschwitz? Or is it possible that 'Massive Extermination Plant for Unwanted People, mostly Jews, Gypsies, Gays and Russians' would A) not fit on the sign out front or call too much attention to what was going on? Seriously. meh Long way off from a nuclear bomb, if it's true.

Damn, the Gamer Dragon thingy looks pretty spiffy at a mere $1800. -

Last comp I had slapped together was done by the guy who did IT work for the company I was working for. I played ALOT of DAoC on that thing with little to no lag on a cable connection. Do you have any IT kids around the office? -
I am actually disappointed I didn't know that there was a 6.8 round. Guess I haven't been gun shopping enough lately.

Hrrrrummpppffff. Neat concept in the XM8 but if the M16/M4 is still chugging along why develop something new? LT Mike, is 6.5 or 6.8 a cartridge that is in use or would it have to be developed? Is .223 too small? How much weight would that add with an average ammo load?

Same background, different take. I like the AK-47 and the AR-15 but don't think that inside of a structure they would be all that great. Gimme a 9mm pistol, or, if money is no object, a MP5. Even on full auto that beauty is easily handled. My ex, who had no firearm experience, had no problem with that little gem.

Looks like Heckler-Koch USA is working on a design to replace the ole M-16. Interesting concept. How do I get to be a beta tested for this thing?

Doesn't leave much to the imagination, does it? But do you think you should be smoking and drinking like that? Not very healthy, doncha know?

No wonder Marines get recruits to join.

Isn't that more a British naval tradition? -
Touring around the US, the [url=http://www.collingsfoundation.org/cf_schedule-wof.htm]Collings Foundation offers rides.....starting at $425 per person. Yikes! Can't quite bring myself to drop $425 for 30 minutes on the B-24 flight. Maybe next year when/ if they come back around. Any of you been up in the B-24, B-17 or both?

I think that is crass and uncalled for...but to each his own. -

JonS, was that supposed to be funny or a slam on the US military? I didn't find it funny and to paint the entire US military with that broad of a brush is a stretch don't you think? -

What a waste. I am sadden for the Corps and I hope the Sergeant enjoys his new 'posting'. The two recruits are morons, but if they were that easily led astray then what kind of Marines would they have made? -
Because I like to share...

Any news on Combat Mission Normandy?
mike_the_wino replied to Vanitas's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Last update of any substance revealed the following: -calender 2009 release -CM:N (shortened CM:Normady, for a lack of a real title) and follow on modules cover Normady landing through the fall. -CM:? (second family of games) will pick up the winter months to war's end. -Likely that the two families will be stand alones, so no campaigns from Normady to Berlin. But not entirely ruled out either. Just very unlikely. -Water but no amphibous vehicles. Too specific and very limited use not worthwhile for this scope. -No horses or motorcycles. And definitely no horses ON motorcycles! -New terrain features and doo-dads to dazzle your senses. Hhhhhmmmm, I think that about sums it up. Sure I have forgotten 9 or 10 items that others can bring up. -
was sent to me. I don't know what I did to deserve it. Now you too can enjoy.

Although I love Thai, green curry and I don't really co-exist well. Actually I am okay with green curry, it's others who suffer greatly after my ingestion of green curry.

hhhhmmm, interesting. Have to try the roots in something. Got some going in the garden this year. I have used the some of the stem when cooking but I normally use the fresh bits as a finishing touch on tacos and such. In this way the stems are less desirable because you get woodsy bits in your teeth. To be honest, here in California there is 'cilantro' year round in the fresh cut display but the only 'coriander' I had seen was in the spice section. I did wiki after my response and was suprised by how wide spread this herb is used around the globe. Learn something new every day.
-
RVES, That list sounds like a damn good reason to go to Sydney! But I am thinking a pure 'sausage run' may not pencil out. Perhaps bundled with a vacation......hhhhhmmmmmmmm. Um, if we are picking nits.....cilantro to you, IS cilantro to me. Cilantro is the fresh leaves of the herb and coriander is the seed of said herb.
-
Well, that also includes some horseradish, and 2 dozen pirogis....so the unit price drops.

A co-worker happens to have the same last name as a sausage company back East, Cichocki (pronounced sigh-hockey). As such, he ordered a ham from them and reported back that it was pretty tasty. So I go and check out the website. To my joy and amazement.....Buffalo Wing Sausage. The shipping is killing me....$45 bucks on a $40 dollar order for a grand total of damn near $90 bucks all in. Expect an update soon after the grilling!* Anyone else have a favorite sausage purveyor? *as I was typing this I got an email that they are out of the Chicken Italian Sausage because they are focusing on the Buffalo Wing Sausage. I take this is a positive sign and therefore anxiously await it's sausagey goodness to arrive...all 4 lbs of it.

Brits followed by Nato question
mike_the_wino replied to Wodin's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
sfhand, very important consideration. Would we, the customer, be willing to wait longer for each family to allow BFC the time to complete a 'bridging patch/ module". My vote would be "No" unless the work could be done in parallel with new game development.....but that's just because I would much rather be done with the whole desert thing and get into CM:Temperate (or whatever it's being called). That being said, if I could then import all the work/ units from the CM:SF family into a CM:Temperate......hhhhhhmmmm, that would be pretty sweet!
