BLSTK

Things are about to get really "interesting", really fast.

Well played, sburke.

I for one would love to see a thread from this self-important n'er-do-well. I'm sure the world is a better place for his mere existence.

Pretty rich coming from "Holier Than Thou" Emrys! Must be Sunday.

Then again, when you're dumb as a stump you could use a little company, eh Michael?

@ LUCAS It does seem less than logical to battle against chrono-logical events. After all, historically speaking, the lightning (Blitz) came before the (Red) Thunder. I do, however, understand BFC's rationale for turning back the clock one year at a time. Believe it or not, I even contemplated holding off on any further purchases until BFC released CM: Barbarossa, all in the name of historical integrity. Nah, who am I kidding? Let's party like it was 1944!

Too funny, Mikey. There's a Hetzer at the War Museum in Ottawa, as well. I'll have to bring a camera when I visit in April.

The gun angle would indicate why so few of these saw action. Its "crew" had to assume the ill-advised "hull up" position in order to engage the enemy.

Where's the rest of it?

Apparently, so did the enemy. That's what made them so effective.

With all the talk surrounding German engineering, it seems rather ironic that we have chosen to dicuss a rather non-German piece of equipment. Of course, that may be part of its appeal.

Two problems with that. First, your shoes would be too big to fill. Second, your hat size would seem to be on the small side. When it comes to wit, sir, I have you out-numbered two-to-one.

And here I thought you were giving the order to "March!" "Sir, yes sir!"

Easy now, my feline friend. I'm thinking this forum is full of 'em.

...especially if its team leader is on the "other" side, so to speak.

On a related note, is Port Townsend missing its idiot?

Did you finish school? Or did school finish you?

The bocage also offers enough protection that it alone can prevent the enemy from "surrendering".

Hey Bil, speaking for those of us who are "visual learners", keep those pix coming!

Yes, please. Bil would appear to be winning in the Best Picture category.

I believe the Harrier came much later. And it had wings.

At least there's hope for you, CatMan. They're called Vets.

Let the game(s) begin! Who needs the Olympics?!

Too funny, Cavalryman. "Fixed Light Sabers, men!"

Just because I'll be downloading this baby does not mean I won't be "going postal", if you catch my drift.
