:mad: Man you just totally went on my shitlist.  MAY THE CARDS FOREVER LOSE IN FOUR.


Wow, Valmy went all Murat on Spicey.  A frontal assault that managed to destroy the baggage train too.  Now I wonder if he can counter charge and get out of there.

I always fight with maximum elan! :frog:

Funeral yesterday. They used a 105mm Howitzer instead of a hearse.

105?  They had to use something they stole from our guys??

Surely the Soviets supplied 105s, no?

And I'm pretty sure the US 105 doesn't have a built-in incense burner. :contract:

Soviets never used a 105mm howitzer.

It wasn't a US 105mm, but a ww2 era howitzer, not doubt 11b4v will tell us exactly which model it is, video here:

edit:
I think it was a M30 - 122 mm howitzer M1938

The base gun is M30 or Chicom Type 54 122mm Howitzer. The Ho chi's added the other BS.

All that was an accomplishment, save for the very last part.  It was the French.

I am going to call Art Briles and see if he can go for 100.

Now I regret rooting for Texas last week.
