So does this information mean that the Germans will have an easier or more difficult time penetrating T-34s with the 50mm and short 75 PAK guns? Inquiring minds want to know.

If I may suggest (beg in other words ) the road wheels not be solid colors but camouflaged in a paint scheme the same as the rest of the vehicle. I have never liked the look of solid color roadwheels. Thanks for listening to the opinions of us no-art talent whiners Hanns

More fuzzy like?!? WTF would I want to be more fuzzy than I already am?? Maybe at your age when you get up from a nappy-nap you might discover more hair where you didn't have any before but I'm long past that stage. You're probably noticing changes in your voice and strange feelings for marsupials that you didn't know existed. It's all a natural part of growing up little boy. Now run along and play in traffic. That's a good lad. Twit.......

Very nice! I'll be updating my MDMP version as soon as yours is posted. One thing, would the roadwheels be left plain dunkelgelb? I'd assume they'd paint them also to break up the silhouette of those round wheels from the side. FWIW, Hanns

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>ozziejeff did not spring from my loins! <hr></blockquote> So what ya saying? He was cloned?

It appears that SpazzyDoof err.. ozzyjeff has awoke and crawled forth from his festering orifice that he (it, whatever) calls domicile. I throw down the gauntlet of despise and challenge this putrid, babbling git to a Challenge! An electronic proxy of my hob nailed heel grinding this poster boy for abortion shall be winging it's way cross the ether whence I stumble home from the bar later this evening. Perhaps a good beating will instill the fear that lesser lifeforms feel for their superiors. Either that or an old fashioned extermination should work nicely. Ook, ook ozzyboy. Time to die! Hanns

Boy this SpazzyJeff git makes OGSF look like an eloquent bard and master wordsmith by comparison. At least OGSF's posts have something pertinent to add to the discussion, are more intelligible than this marble mouthed blather and actually tend to make sense when I've got a litre or so of Jägermeister in my gullet. The inarticulate nature of SpazzyJeff's posts tend to be along this nature: <blockquote>quote:</font><hr>ook,ook, penis, ook, fishing, ook-ook feces ook!<hr></blockquote> His inane attempts at witty replies further dig him into a hole of stupidity. Lucky for him, being on the bottom side of the planet the dirts falls out of the hole, thus making his pitiful work easier. Upon more careful examination of SpazzyJeff's lopsided and rectally inverted cranium it is possible to make out the rusted coat hanger that has been lodged there pre-partum. Apparently it is acting like an antenna but only picks up re-runs of "Crocodile Dundee Part XXIV: Paul Hogan's transexual adventures". This might explain some of his more odd pronouncements. Maybe not. Sir Lars I do humbly accept squireship under thy august personage. I willing submit to thine boot but wish to remind thee that I have tasted the lash far more times, by one I dare say was more skilled and much more attractively female. I could reminisce on how I was whipped until I bled by a pair of bi-sexual women, but, well I already have. Oh the wonders I have seen. Anyway, I will submit to thine tutelage and attempt to learn the ways of Kniggety taunting. May my path be a rocky and twisted one that befits my nature. Lord Justicar Joe Shaw, I shall now view thee as my Grand-Liege and sit patiently at thine knee, wondering at the stories and tales you spin. I will not however sit upon your lap and dig through your pockets looking for "candy". To the rest of you sodds, feck off unless you're joining me in a round of "drown ozzyjeff in his own vomit". Toodles, Hanns [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Hanns ]</p>

Oh, pray tell. It must be time for tea and rickets down under. Is it still daytime on your happy little ISLAND? Hmmm... NIST.gov shows that it still is. I'd suggest you little pale, scabby ozzies get outside and bask in it's rays before somefink bad happens. Like this: Rickets \Rick"ets\, n. pl. [Of uncertain origin; but cf. AS. wrigian to bend, D. wrikken to shake, E. wriggle.] (Med.) A disease which affects children, and which is characterized by a bulky head, crooked spine and limbs, depressed ribs, enlarged and spongy articular epiphyses, tumid abdomen, and short stature, together with clear and often premature mental faculties. The essential cause of the disease appears to be the nondeposition of earthy salts in the osteoid tissues. Children afflicted with this malady stand and walk unsteadily. Called also rachitis. I think this handily describes the deficiencies apparent in members of the genus Austaliopithidoltus and species OzzieJeff. Remember to not make fun of them too much fellow Cesspudlians, because they just can't help it. Seeing how this terrible plague (or is it plaque, like that nasty stuff on your teeth?) can be avoided in future generations with sufficient administration of hormones, corrective diet and selective sterilization I hereby demand that Sally Struthers be airlifted (err.... towed behind a bunch of boats) immediately to Ozztraulia where she can film touching commercials exposing the plight of these unfortunates. Please donate all you can to wipe out this scourge of mankind. Oh, and you ozzies, make sure to feed Sally at least 7.62^314159 times daily to ensure that she doesn't go on an eating rampage. She'd surely wipe out all your precious dingos, koalas, 'roos and Mace's beloved sheep. Cheers, Hanns [ 11-21-2001: Message edited by: Hanns ]</p>

I've had soft skinned vehicles kill themselves by firing a HE round too close before. They were either firing at an approaching infantry unit or hit the very edge of a nearby building. Really pisses you off when your Hummel keeps pumping 150mm HE rounds into that 2 story building that you have units hiding in. You sit there screaming "No, you moron! Stop firing, you're not even close!! Ergghhhh" Hanns

Well, well, a whole spankin', shiny new thread without a single alliteration to the only commandment that this 'Pool has ever had. The shame of it really. So to correct this unbalance in the Farce I shall boldly proclaim: SODD OFF!!! There, I feel better already. If it's not too presumptuous of me, I feel that I should be promoted to Senior SSN to differentiate twixt myself and those [shudder]Aussies[/shudder] that have started sprouting like paternity suits against Mace after an all night bender. May the records show that after challenging the gits know as PewterHead ****aake, Turkishbathboy and Lard General M(omma's) B(oy) that all have ceased in their intrusions into the Cesspool. I may not be able to claim a certified confirmed kill on any of them, but their unwillingness to send further turns leaves me the defacto victor. I'll take a feckin' win any way I can!! For my services rendered unto the 'Pool (and having to email those losers in the genetic lottery) I wish to be promoted. I believe that the loss of their inane drivelings has strengthened the fiber of the Cesspool and provided a Darwinianesque weeding of the future DNA of said 'Pool. Verily I shall take your [boots] in stride and I shall endeavor to stop the spread of this ozzies menace forthright. Hanns [ 11-20-2001: Message edited by: Hanns ]</p>

Okay, when will one of you pillocks, oops I mean highly esteemed, defenders of all that is 'Cess Kniggety pillocks send me a setup to crush this SSN with? How can I ever advance to Senior SSN without a feckin' setup with which to stomp this Lard General with? C'mon, throw me a bone or somefink! Hey, that'd be a swank name for a setup. I think I'll send Lard Guzzler a setup by this name. Feh, wankers.

Oh Great Lords of the Cesspool is this where you unchain Fionn Kelly and have him lay waste upon this Lard Greased M(onty's) B(uttcrack) or is that akin to killing ants with a tactical nuclear weapon? If I may be so bold I ask that one of greater stature send a suitable setup to "learn" this Monty's Buttcrack in the bitter ways of the 'Cess. If I am not too presumptuous in making a prediction the only crown Monty's Buttcrack will be wearing is the red ring of his arsehole atop his head when I am finished. Hanns

Anyone offhand know the weight of the Mk82 "Daiseycutter"? I want to say it's 26,000 lbs but my memory is probably faulty.

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Stuka Can you see if they've found my spare undies yet? They were grey, with an extra large frontal pouch.<hr></blockquote> That's just disgusting Stuka! You actually wear hollowed out koalas as underwear? Do you leave the little feet and claws on? What about glass eyes? Does it hurt when you sit on them? I suppose you could stash stuff in that little pouch they have. Do you store you shaved voles, gerbils and other rodentia there? This sounds something like a national phenomena to me. I guess it's just one of those things I'll have to shake my head at and ascribe to cultural diversity. Hanns

Feck! You want me to post links for other pods edification? Well, 'spose I can do that then. Hans der über Pferd Now pray tell me the connection between St. Vitus's dance, ergot, the wonderful compound known as Lyserg-Saeure-Diaethylamid and falling off a bicycle. Let the threads join into a wonderful multi-coloured tapestry of knowledge. Bonus fun: name the four most entertaining chemicals invented by Teutonic chemists during the XIX century. Cheers! Hanns

Boy, an insult about sheep coming from Mace is like the lütefisk calling the gefilte fish white! Amateur......... [Edited to include this pic I found of Mace with his very own "Love Ewe". Enjoy!] Mace and his Love Ewe P.S. You'll have to look for it [ 11-06-2001: Message edited by: Hanns ]</p>

I don't consider myself clever. The only stomping I do is on other people's heads while at work at the bar Or are you referring to my physical umm... stature as horselike? Wait, you're not an Ozzie, you can't have seen that video from Spring Break '93. You still didn't answer my question about the relation of St. Vitus' dance and ergot. Google not working tonight? Besides I saw the history of the "Gunpowder Treason" in an episode of "Highlander: The Series". I think Duncan Mcleod should have blown up those nasty Brits

JEBUS KRISPY!!!!!! What the Hell is that???!?!?! The illict lesbian love child of Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana? If you Ozzies think she's hot no wonder you're so into sheep. At least sheep don't have that XXY chromosome smile! Not that I'd know anything about sheep mind you. Hanns

Soddball, !1A-b14: I'm giving ya $hit! Do I need to incude smilies? 6.9 (what's that you ask? It's a period in the middle of a good thing ) Do you know what St. Vitus' day is. Ergot? Back at ya mate! Done the research? I'm dropping the "ball" in your court Hanns

What the Feck!!! I post a nasty little response to Soddball's whining and it's nowhere to be seen. BTS is censoring my words! ACLU fix or do somefink! For those that are wanting to bask in the glow of my magnificent words take heed! Soddball, it's not that us Americuns don't care about your little holiday, well, it's that we've beaten you in two wars and saved your @ss in two others. Please don't mistake out apathy for a lack of interest. For the rest of you, happy belated St. Vitus' day. Enjoy a nice loaf of ergot infected bread and watch the pretty colours. Have you hugged a Swiss chemist today? Prösit! Hanns

Who could forget the American volunteer units? C'mon all dozen of them (or whatever) POW Americans that were convinced to fight against those Godless, communist Russians. They must have kicked some serious @ss armed with M-1 Garands, MG42s and Bren tripods all topped off with superior German optics. BTS, fix or do somefink! My '45 Ami SS units don't have jetpacks, lasers or nukes. WTF????? Hanns

Panzerwerfer, No, the nickel coating on the brass cases is not harder than a steel case. It's a very thin layer used to "lubricate" the casing. Also holds up better to hostile environments such as concealed carry, outdoor use (hunting) and the like. Not sure how well the nickel plating holds up to being cleaned for reloading. I'll have to ask one of my buddies who reloads a lot. The black color on bullets you may have seen is a molybdenum-disulfide coating that is used to increase muzzle velocity and decrease lead "plating" of the barrel due to it's superior lubricity (IOW slippery-ness). I've also seen it used on cast lead bullets in IPSC matchs for this reason. I'm not sure if they're supposed to be used for hunting though. I've seen them for long range varmit rounds (mostly 5.56mm) but not a lot for big game or deer. Not sure if the Moly coating is toxic or not. Need to do a little more research I guess. BTW Pz42 we should go hit Bill's or Armored Fire some time. Hanns

Regarding the substance of small arms cartridge cases. There are three types of cases in general use. First is the common brass cased cartridge. Some cases have been nickel plated to inhibit corrosion and ease extraction (Federal Hydra-Shok rounds come to mind, nice shiny cases). The second is cheap, crap aluminum cased rounds by the likes of CCI/Blazer. Most are a dull, off gray color due to the aluminum oxide that forms on them from exposure to air. In the 3 failure to feed/fire I've ever had with my HKs all three were with CCI/Blazer ammo. The stuff is absolute crap. Dirty doesn't even begin to describe it and I've had one case that partially ruptured. The third type is the cheap, steel cased ammo usually from various Russian manufacturers. Wolfe ammo has lacquered steel cases usually for pretty cheap from various sources. Only big problem with steel cases is they are more likely to wear the chamber and internal action of the weapon due to the hardness of the steel case. Brass is a lot softer and easier on the gun. If you shoot expensive weapons or actually care about your weapon I'd advise using brass cased ammo. Pay a little more but the quality is worth it, especially if you reload.

A figure strides off a beached landing craft and into the knee deep surf of the 'Cess. He wears a pair of dark sunglasses and a crackpipe jauntily dangles from his mouth "I have returned!" "Cut! We need to do another take, there's not enough dead Japs on this beach. Can we get some more?" "Sir, those are dead Americans. It doesn't look right when you've got you foot on their chest like that." "Whatever private. I think those waves splashed my pants in such a way making it look like I wet myself. Get me another pair of trousers, light starch, nice ironed creases with the crotch let out a bit so I can have some more breathing room...hehe!" Fade to black........ Well, you get the idea. Got done working the Fetish-o-rama Marathon Ground Zero 8th Annual Halloween Ball. Open till 3am mind you (on a week night no less in this Lutheran Scando-Land) seemed pretty late. One drunk Columbian guy must not have learned any physics because he picked a fight with myself and three other bouncers. F=MA is a m*therf*cker when applied to a little git by someone my size. My compatriots said it was amusing to watch me grab him by his head, hip chuck'em and bounce his noggin' off the sidewalk when I pinned him. It's nice to know I've still got it..... where was I? Ah, yes the scantily clad females in their seemingly endless parade of naughty nurse and schoolgirl costumes. Feckin' A, what a wonderful place. One of my Favorite Lesbians brought her sister down with her and introduced me. Hmmm.... the mind wanders at sheer number of prospective recombinations capable with my current blonde bi-female paramour, 2 lesbians and one sister of said lesbian. Penthouse, eat your heart out sucka's. Anyway, my PBEM game with TurkishBathBoy goes slowly. I haven't seen a reply from him in 2 days. I will endeavor to check my email tonight if I am sober enough and not otherwise "occupied". Obviously I've had better things to do, but I cannot fathom his excuse. Maybe he got locked in the steam room with a big, hairy Turk who took a liking to him. Feh, I care not as long as he shuts his inane yap and dies like a nice little boy. Maybe he could find himself a nice man-friend on the order of John Wayne Gacy or Jeffrey Dahmer. Maybe SlapHamster will volunteer. He's got look of a repressed serial killer to him. Ever get that Kübelwagen icecream truck up and running Slappy? I've read that most serial killers wanted to be cops. Does anyone who has played Slappy know if he is fond of lighting things on fire or ordering POWs to walk back and forth across minefields? A pattern is emerging me thinks. To the rest of you gits, may you drown in a pool of your own vomitted up Halloween candy (Lord only knows how much vomit it takes to fill an entire pool though) and be subsequently infested with a plague of crotch crickets (the Australian variety with the little sticks and knickers). Sirrah, Hanns [ 11-01-2001: Message edited by: Hanns ]</p>

If I may be the first to post upon the third gathering of the Olde Ones in this metropolis of Minneapolis. It has gone well if I may say so. No one was arrested or beaten to a pulp by the bouncers of Glüeks. Many pitchers of dunkel bier flowed into the gullets of Olde Ones and kniggets alike. Entertainment of the young and female nature was curtailed due to the actions of one dreadlocked German that I shall not name. Apparently Peng, Berli and Seanachai were not up to my offers of Third Reich shots. Much to their loss I'd admit. As I am fond of saying concerning this concoction of Jägermeister, Rumpleminze and Goldschlager, "taste the schannpsie gutness"! Bah, apparently they prefer bier in large quantities (and qualities) in favor of not waking in the morning. I believe that the tethered goat at the bar was the "frosting on the cake". Mace and his Ozzy compatriots might have been more excited if it was a sheep but alas, it's the best they had to offer. Last but not least I shall recite a poem although rather old (I wrote it as a Senior in highschool) is rather germain to the affection held by Ozzies for their flocks of furry female substitutes. It is entitled The Passionate and Lonely Shepard to His Flock I like sheep fat and thick, shaved and smooth with oil slick. Their furry butts turn me on, for the days are very long. They never bitch nor disagree as I pose my rear entry. "Bah Bah" goes their song as I release my swollen dong. Very lucky yes I be, never pregnant are the sheep. Sodomy's my middle name sheep and women are the same. This has been a test of the Ozzie Seductive Sheep Dispersal Board. Had this been a real emergency the Angolan Airforce would be airdropping prophylactics and rohipnal addled sheep at this point. Please return to your homes, pull your trousers back on and hope that your "date" didn't have anthrax. Thank ewe! [ 10-25-2001: Message edited by: Hanns ]</p>
