The Marines were surrounded at Chosin during the Korean war.

Uhh....................Why not play /use the Star Wars minatures game? www.wizards.com/swminis

There less than 30 min away from me.

How about Casca the eternal mercenary.

Old Harrier story. About 20 years ago when I was stationed at Lejuene, I was heading out the back gate when a road guard came out of nowhere. A Harrier landed in front of me and was refueled and rearmed right there on the spot. It took off and everyone went back into the tree line. One of the...

The Oil fields were pitch black. As in it was pitch balck at 1200. the only lights you could see were the oil fires.

Bagdad and Newark(as in NJ) still suck!

The USMC still separates men and women in bootcamp! and there is not as many WM's as female soldiers.

In the Corps we had a saying "It's not the dope on the rifle it's the one behind it". A Marine is taught how to use the max effective range on his weapon. (Shoooting from 500 meters, w/ sight allignment, sight picture, and by calculating proper windage at that range). Qualifing at 200 ins't the...

WTF!!!!!!!!!!

With first hand knowledge and by inspecting T-72's up close (I couldn't fit inside) they SUCK!!! It's a P.O.S! A 25mm w/ DU ammo should be able to kill one no problem. DPICM destroyed them wholesale, no questions asked.

Just for note, On the BE boards I posted an AAR about a ww2 reenactment I went to. The Germans fielded a Tiger. Now back in the day we had little to stop the threat, even less as reenactors. Any way the plan was simple, draw the enemy into the cover were the Tiger couldn't follow thereby taking...

I know it's a game and we like to be good sport's about it. BUT, in warfare you want to destroy your enemies ability to wage war, ASAP with min losses to yourself. So if your opponent always choses opt #3 and you lose with the same tactics / forces. DOOM on you! Adapt. I remember back in the...

Ever see a regimental Time on Target from the hill. A-10 couldn't do that much damage a once. By the way 16'' shells weigh about 2100 a piece x 9 barrels + 5" guns!

Just a couple of things: yes the A-10 is a bad plane but there is no way it can carry more ordinance that a Battleship. A ww2 bomber yes, BB no. Also the USMC is going to phase out the Harrier witha VTOL version of the JSF.
