    VAdm Norman - Supply Ship contract: Legal fight

    I've been out of the country for a few years and am just following this quite peripherally.  Something is quite rotten

    MBT With 140mm gun

    A larger calibre does not equal a greater ability to perforate a target.  Unless, perhaps, you are using a shaped charge to do so.  But if you wish to have accuracy and perforating power, then you want velocioty and lots of it.  Hence the previously-mentioned L55.  Combine that with a very dence...

    Peter Jackson documentary on WW1: They shall not grow old

    Agreed.  Their sense of humour, their shenanigans, how they mugged for the camera, etc, was all just like today.  And their comment on the sedentary civilians having to be made into shape.  And I guess their tooth brushes must have been used to clean their buttons.  Ha! I think the reverse is...

    Peter Jackson documentary on WW1: They shall not grow old

    The guy who wrote that article very obviously did not stay to watch the final bit with Jackson speaking exactly about that. Oh, wait, he did.  And he still doesn't get it.  And the critic can frig off and go make his own frigging film.  I guess anyone can be offended by anything... Anyway, I...

    Milnet Decision Game 4: Seize the Far Bank

    I was hoping that this problem involved crossing the river, so that I could explain how I was going to build ramps and run the APCs on them at full speed to reach the far bank...  ;)

    Seeking Advanced Squad Leader players

    I've only had three matches so far this month.  I'll be at Albany at the end of the month, but I'm used to 10 a month (about half online using VASL)

    Seeking Advanced Squad Leader players

    Yes, there is quite an active ASL group there, and in fact, next year's Canadian Advanced Squad Leader Open (CASLO) will be in Ottawa. Some links: http://asl-battleschool.blogspot.com/p/contact.html Chris is not as responsive for the past little bit; his wife has been ill. Here is info on the...

    More and more funnies.. vol: something...

    So there's this guy, and his friend meets him on the street.  "Dan!" he says.  "Your head!  What happened?"  "It's a giant pumpkin, I know, but you see, I found this magic lamp and I messed up my wishes." "Oh?  How did you do that?" "Well, first I asked for a hundred million dollars. Bam!  I'm...

    Seeking Advanced Squad Leader players

    They introduce Off Board Artillery in Decision at Elst. Now, there is a way to play via Internet.  Using a program (freeware) called "Virtual Advanced Squad Leader" (VASL), you can play in real time or even via email.  It uses a base program called VASSAL (http://www.vassalengine.org), and then...

    Seeking Advanced Squad Leader players

    Howdy. Tactical wargames, the kind played on tables and not on computers, appeal to me to the point that I've invested several hundreds of dollars in them, primarily into the Advanced Squad Leader system. That said, do you play ASL?  If not; why not? ;D Anyway, if you play or are interested in...

    CAF Beard policy-CANFORGEN 158/18

    I personally believe that the conditions exist (largely, not solely) due to people not knowing how to shave.  Commercial razors are crap, people don't know how to condition their skin and they do crazy things like shave against the grain! Get a brush and dish of shaving soap, some pre-shave...

    Medal Mounting

    I am on a posting in the USA.  I can look to GOOGLE to check who does medal mounting; however, I wish to poll people here: Whom would you recommend for mounting of my medals?  I received a bar to my CD and wish my medals (and minatures) to be mounted.  Primary criterium is quality, tied with...

    Posting Policy-Out of Canada (OUTCAN) [MERGED]

    Your mileage may vary, but in my own personal experience, TD was the better option.  I booked off the first morning of my House Hunting Trip to set up my TDBank account (the US account).  I walked in when they opened and then walked out with my account all set up, bank card and check book in...
