See incoming PM for an explanation of how this has changed.

Interesting way to look at it with battalions of a regiment being broken down more, but I just can't see it headed in that direction. Without the Reserve tribes I think we already would have gone to a much cheaper and easier system of numbered regiments like Australia has done. Then it...

I'm not convinced on the compass and I don't think you need it in order to learn Nav anymore than you need to learn a bow and arrow in order to use a rifle. As per one of my original posts, it's the fundamentals of navigation that people need to understand, not the compass. I agree that a map...

Last time I checked, a dismounted soldier didn't require tens of thousands of litres of fuel to go on an op.  Or a fighter jet. NVGs and flashlights use batteries too, but just like a GPS the benefit you get from them is worth the weight.

Mr Campbell, That is how I was looking at the BP one as well.  Someone did some digging and found a couple small "facts" that were taken out of context and don't show the big picture. A lot of people buy and sell massive amounts of shares all the time and shift their money all over the place...

Have already asked for that in Reply #2, as soon as I realized how dumb I had been with my placement of the points early on.

Okaaaaaay, reeling this back in. Some interesting reading: http://www.tactical-life.com/online/tactical-weapons/combat-proven-militarized-atvs/ Added: What I had in mind when I started this thread: Not what I had in mind, but still pretty sweet:

This one specifically is bad, but overall I find them amazing: http://www.google.ca/images?rlz=1C1_____enCA342CA342&q=sidewalk%20optical%20illusion&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1366&bih=651

Personally my favourite, even above and beyond things, for entertainment value was getting letters from school kids. Not high school kids who may have their own a-hole agendas, but young kids who draw hilarious pictures and ask questions like "Do you use jetpacks" or "Can you please kill...

*Note* I know there is a thread on the spill, this is different than just the leak and dead fish. I was reading a news story this morning about BP spreading the blame, and on one of the poster's comments it is mentioned that all sorts of sketchy things were happening in the months and weeks...

Personally I haven't seen that much benefit to Reputation in the game, but I don't let it sit half-squashed for days either. I don't start on one until I know I can get it in one level or two and then I go to town before I do whatever mission/HVT will push me over the edge. So I don't think I...

Me:  Do you work overtime? You:

Not sure, I looked up the key words on the Army Electronic Library search engine and nothing is coming up.  Feel free to check: http://armyapp.forces.gc.ca/AEL/SearchPage.aspx I can send you the staff officer handbook from work tomorrow, but I'm not sure if that's what you want.  I know every...

Not worth it on this thread old chap.  I made my comment; some agreed, some didn't. The new and improved me picks his battles  :-X

All of the numbers on the Int Dossier medal bars seem to be +1 IE, the medal for the first one shows 2/2, the medal for 10 shows 11/11, etc. Not a big deal now but my head will spin when I collect my 25th and it's only showing 25/26  ;D

BDave, I don't know if this will work on all browsers, but I use Google Chrome and I have found that for any "button" on this game, it will allow me to click the mouse many times on rapid rate and it will "count" all of those times before reloading the page. In the case of the insurgency for...

Wow, a bit of irony in that statement. You're using a stereotype to broadbrush Americans from the South as white trash who stereotype Muslims as Jihadists.

There is: Paying $$ for them. That is no different than any other online mini game like this; you either put in the hours (in this case posting) or put up the money if you want to be equal.

I agree early in the game, but there is an element of diminishing returns compared to what awaits you when you find Int later on. Once your CR gets in the hundreds and you cash in the first medal that gives you 500 Int, you'll see how valuable Int is when you go after HVTs (it will get to the...

While I can't speak for everyone, I don't think the GoreTex paste ever took off for the majority. I can't see any reason at all to use it on the M3s because there certainly isn't any GoreTex on them. I even ended up using regular black Kiwi polish on my boots that are GoreTex, and as far as I...
