Really! :shock: What about: 5 Cougars 2 Grizzlies All unpainted. Opened the box set of four Cougars to make sure they were complete, one is in mint in blister. The Grizzlies are out of blisters, but complete, no Plasmic/Thermal Lance. Thanks!

Thanks for answering this!!!

Something I have discovered, the new cover rules (w/Armor and Kill Number bonuses) make cover absolutely useless for MEA non-government troops. As MEA insurgents have no Armor Save, the 4+ Target Number is a kill. Being in Heavy Cover with a +2 Kill Number bonus is worthless. Since they have...

At Fort Knox, Kentucky there was an old M114 hull used as a "hard target" during live fire exercises. The M240 (7.62N FMJ Ball) coax on my M1A1 bounced off, the M2 HB (.50 cal FMJ Ball) penetrated one side (and bounced around) and the 120mm aluminum training rounds went right through. Range...

So, is anyone running a RQ campaign in Thieves' World? Or am I just showing my age?

Fine, but historically a US Infantry Company's Weapons Platoon had 2xM1919 LMGs and 3x60mm Mortars (another weapon missing entirely). The battalion Heavy Machine Gun platoons were equipped with M1917 HMGs. No M2's there at all in the TO&E. Additionally, the stats for the BAR look out of line...

So I'm thumbing thru my new softback copy of Order of Battle. Am I reading these Master Aircraft charts right? A bunch of fighters for the Royal Navy and Kreigsmarine are shown to have bomb loads as standard, not optional.

Rebel Minis Acquires Mighty Armies

So walking through my local Wal-Mart store, I found this little beauty in the discount toy aisle for $7 (normally $10 for a set, it also came with a cargo Humvee). It's from New Millenium Toys and is 1:48 scale, so it is just a bit larger than the ~1:60 scale BFE minis. I figured...

A complete, stand alone non-D20 RPG. (sniffle) Joy! :D Mac

Actually, with LT having the SCION Military Intelligence Training, I get to use PL 2 choices while staying PL 1. Other than that, my LT is dead weight IMO other than.... That's the one reason I have the LT. I plan on using the Promotion Special Action to keep my CoC operational. The one...

Hi there! So I've been waiting for SST:Evo to come out before doing any major purchases. I've picked up a few things here and there, and it's finally happened: I'm almost at a 2000 point army, all at PL 1. Right now my core MI army looks like this: MI LT w/MILINT, Trenchsweeper (175pnts)...

That's not bad at all. I know of a company that has changed it's "flagship" game rules about every six months. So, four times in the past two years. Kind of like rotating your tires :D

I think Mongoose should put out a set of Fantasy skirmish rules using the SST:/BF:Evo game engine.

All games are a balance between "Playability" and "Realism" (yes even in a fictional setting). The IGOUGO system is the easiest way to determine who goes first. I've seen too many games that use an IGOUGO system end on the first turn, when one side goes first and shoots up the other side so...
