What is with that purple cammo on the Jagdpanther? Is it one of those new teletubby Jagdpanther secret weapons that lull you into submission with a bunch of mumbo-jumbo? WELL IS IT!!! Maybe it is 5 Cartoons of cigs? (Please note: I used 3 or a multiple of 3 !!! when needed). Erick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 Oh wow Babra, the Haunted Tank? If you're old enough to remember that Stuart that was haunted by the ghost of JEB himself you're old enough to remember ... ta da ... Sgt. Rock of Easy Company "It's never easy in Easy Company." From which I learned my store of German ... "Das Amerikaners ist Kaput!" ... and the knowledge that an ordinary hand grenade tossed onto the deck of a buttoned up Tiger could blow the turret off the tank. And how about Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos? Ah, those were the days. Joe ------------------ "I don't want them brave, I want them dead!" Thomas J.

Lorak Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 Yes... the old "ghost tank" and "sgt. rock" comics. Whats sad is remembering how me and my friends would try and draw pictures from the comics in school. Hell we even tried to make up our own WWII comic. Maybe your just born a wargamer?

Doug Beman Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 The Royal Armor Museum in Bovington (is that right???) is said to have a tank that is haunted by Hermann the German, who is believed to have been a member of the vehicle's crew who won't leave his post.

Zamo Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 "Eat hot lead you Nazi Buzzard!" Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat KA-BLOOM! Sgt. Rock, his sleaveless uniform in smoking taters, downs another 109 before escorting some French kid to the bombed out church to meet his papa, unknowingly slain by the afore mentioned 109, while a platoon of Tiger Ie's lies in ambush submerged in the lake they must cross... Ah, they don't make 'em like that anymore... Zamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Shaw Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 And then there were the truly bizarre WW2 comics that even I, as a ten year old, couldn't quite believe. The ones where the Nazis created the three story robot who had 88's in his fingers and death ray eyes. They finally killed it by sneaking into an access cover (which, of coure, was clearly identified with a swastika), climbing up his legs and blowing up ... whatever. Or the two GI's (it was always two of them) who got flashed back into time to battle T-Rex's. OR ... sorry guys, I'm in full blown nostalgia mode here ... the ones where the artwork didn't quite match the story ... you had some rugged 2nd Lt. who had this big smile on his face saying something like "It's a real shame we lost half the platoon on that attack." But I think you're right Lorak, the roots of my wargaming addiction can probably be traced to those comics. Let's face it, we were the only kids on the block who could tell the difference between a 109 and and 190 ------------------ "I don't want them brave, I want them dead!" Thomas J.

ColumbusOHGamer Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 I thought *I* was the only one who was Sgt. Rock fan. He was the Arnold Schwarzenwhatever of the 70's comic books. Too cool for school! COG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Babra Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 Born a wargamer? I think so. My most prized toys as the very weemost sprog were my green army men. Many a war was won and lost in the garden. There's probably still a few unknown soldiers buried there ( & the first movie my parents took me to at the drive-in was Kelly's Heroes.) ------------------ When I die I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
