Guest Big Time Software Posted April 19, 2000 Share Posted April 19, 2000 You are both forgetting one important aspect of the Boom/Crack debate. The ending! Something like: crack-boom-bang-HOLY CRAP SARGE!-WHAT?-HOLY CRAP, 88s!-WHAT? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOS was 71331 Posted April 20, 2000 Share Posted April 20, 2000 Don't be too hard on Ambrose for his "Panthers with 88s" error. It's easy to miss errors during proofreading. In one discussion here on great war movies, I praised "Zulu" and then placed it in the Boer War rather than in the earlier Zulu War. I caught the error and corrected it, but not before someone had read my reply and pointed out my mistake. In his "Flight of the Old Dog" novel, Dale Brown had a synchronous satellite over the north pole! I'd bet Brown, a former USAF pilot, realizes synchronous satellites have to be over the equator, but the error still got past him and his editor. As another mea culpa, I also posted a plea for CM in Korea in which I claimed there were no landings to simulate. I obviously forgot Inchon, though had I said "opposed landings" I might have got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
