Lord Raglan

Will someone please do a MOD for the Piat crews before they do themselves a serious injury, As I recall, it was always fired from the prone position from the shoulder and rested on a monopod. It was a beast of a weapon, the projectile had no propellant charge and was hurled on it way by a bloody great spring which required two strong men to cock it. Maybe 'Arnie' could have managed it and fired it from the hip!!! A missfire (weapon was not recocked) with an enemy tank bearing down on you, didnt bear thinking about. It did have a couple of advantages over the American bazooka however, in that it did not reveal your position when fired (CMBO please note) also it could be fired from inside buildings without incinerating everything behind it. Along with the Sten gun, which had a habit of emptying its magazine for no apparent reason, they were definately, not'Standard' or 'Deluxe' but 'Economy' weapons, but we got by.

Been a HARPOON addict since it first came out, was browsing web waiting for HARPOON4, came across CMBO demo, looked good, thought I would see how you 'pongos' do it, must say it is very good.

If this theme has been done before, then forget about it, but if not then have fun. Throughout history the clash of arms must have produced thousands of unrecorded last words, for example:- "Look at all those friggin indians!" "CHARGE!!!" "On guard sir! I will spit thee like a chic....!"
