Heck, I know that guy. He is a tool. He could have better hygiene too.

He just paid for the stuff and left. I guess he wasn't in the mood. I met John Astin once. He played Gomez Addams on the old Addams Fanily TV show. Patrick Stewart. Richard Kiel. He played Jaws in the James Bond movies and lives around here. I saw Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston but didn't...

I met Chuck Norris once. He seemed like a decent sort of guy. It's not a very exciting story. I was working at Housekeeping Camp store in Yosemite. He was staying at one of the (now gone) River campgrounds. He came in to get some groceries and firewood.

The M60A3 is a very popular tank with such armies. It's not a Challenger II but by most standards it's a very good tank with the various modernizations.

If Mongoose were worried about it they could easily shut down or remove this thread. Apparently they aren't Whether or not I get AT-43 next month won't have any impact or whether or not I get SST Evo six months from now. I will probably buy both and Battlefield Evo as well.

5.56 mm light machinegun...armored columns No, I don't believe it.

The PLA squad comes with two anti-tank missile launchers. The MEA get an RPG for tank killing. The USMC and British Army squads don't seem to have any anti-armor capability. The British don't have the next gen LAW or the Javelin which shold both be in service well before the time frame of...

They seem to mostly have American and British equipment right now. They are a pretty well organized, effiecient and well equipped (by most standards) professional force. They aren't a militia force like the MEA at all. There was a major reorientation towards a a more professional army and...

Oh well. The GW forums were never good for much except a laugh now and then anyway.

Whether or not the tanks are precisely to scale or not doesn't really concern me. They look close enough to me. I am more concerned with how the game will play and whether it will be fun or not.

A simple UAV is just a radio controlled plane on steroids. The technology isn't that complicated. I can get everything I would need at the local hobby store. Adding video capability could easily be done with off the shelf equipment. IR and low light vision gear is readily available to anyone...

The situation here is much the same. Stores aren't stocking it because no one is buying it. The games stores that carry it all have lots of unsold backstock that isn't moving. None of them ever got the newer Skinny stuff because the line was essentially dead. It must be selling elsewhere or...

Starship Troopers. Responding to this I don't have the rule or anything for Battlefield evolution. Besides, with that game not being able to get painting done wouldn't be an issue.

There isn't a whole lot else to field at low PLs.

For the RPG? A unit of 8 Centauri Royal Guard with what looks like an identifiable leader is more what I would expect from a tabletop wargame. It's a bit odd for an assortment of models for an RPG.
