I saw it twice.  Same both times.  And both times, the cinemas were to capacity. And it's the first time in many years that I saw people applauding after the film ended.

But it is a demotion. There are roughly 650,000 veterans in Canada.  There are roughly 36,700,000 Canadians.  That is roughly 1.77% of the general population.  It may be an important portfolio, which is why there is a cabinet minister at the top, but don't kid yourself into thinking that it's a...

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

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...

Hey, thanks!  I really liked mucking about with this. Of course!  :cheers:

Well, I *do* drive a Dodge Charger and live in the South, so.....

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...

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...

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...  ;)

Nice distraction from my day job.  Thank you (and submitted)  :2c:

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)

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...

:rofl:

*Bump* Any interest?  *taps mic* Is this thing on?  ;)

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...

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...

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...

Is this the beard committee?

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...

Thank you all. I've reached out to Martel's.
