ran

snap buttons? yeah, that's it, thx ralph

My friends and I will summon the superior powers of the great French domesticated mythological animals the frogs and the snails are!!!!!! NO ONE CAN STOP THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not too much into football, but for once, we won a competition game against your team, just leave us this little pleasure, it happened so rarely we always owned friendly matches but always lost the other important ones ;)

beware he's under my protection ;) Excellent, we'll beat up 2 of those damn french ppl tonight! hooray it will be much more than 2 people, read the rough listing made earlier in this thread

I doubt any sniper could spot a subdued front rank patch. (front rank patches are(or were?) completed with shoulder ones for a clear ID as you can seein one of the pics i posted above)

Oh yeah, now that is really going to work. Quite nice for not recognizing rank on somebody in a prone position, or from the side, or from the rear.... this often caused a few probs here, but nothing too critical and, do you know of any rank insigna visible from the rear ? "basic" french military outfit (and no, i'm not on any of these pictures)

what shall we write on your epitaph ?

The british armys had those for a very long time. I think the new uniform looks a bit "Russian" but maybe thats just me... we got them since the mid-late 50's

The mandarin collar sucks big time too, hopefully, it's removeable, but hell ...

the ACU program has the budget of something nearing the one of a B-movie ? -edit-: the more I look at the pictures the more I think you're right .... Believe me, i've worn my share of weird looking uniforms, but this one .... hell, I pity those who will have to wear it. The camo is surely quite efficient, but for god's sake, work on the subdued patches to be more in the tones of the camo.... And what are the pockets down the legs of the trousers are ment for ? And i think that the main pockets on the vest are a relatively stupid idea, they don't look like they can carry much and if you want to, you should wear a quite large uniform (2more size than what you'd wear normally ... and this especially since it looks like an over-adjusted sado-maso accessory ment to make you unable to breath -from the pictures-) and you can't access the pockets with both hands, and this sucks.

beware he's under my protection ;)

extensive use of velcro ? sure ... a zip .... even better .... The french army fielded a vest with a zip once .... gess what ? it's been retired from front-line units within a couple of years and been given to logistics personnel. (it has now been completely rired, but Istill have one of these vests since they are awesome for civilian use and ... quite trendy too) Zips and Velcro are a big joke for any piece of combat uniform. Nothing beats old fashionned buttons. On a side note, the centered torso rank tab looks like a rip-off of the french system. -edit- : had to check, and the battledress uniform in question is the M64, one of the rarest things one can imagine It's quite pratical for non-combat duties withits zip and the ... (how are those metallic buttons called ? you know the ones which consist in two parts, one which goes into the other) for the pouches, but it gets useless quite fast with sand or mud and by cold weathers

you're welcome, PM me to get my physical address .... I need a punching ba.... some physical training i mean I have a pub full of angry, drunken England supporters backing me up I have a whole French CRS compagny, 3 Krav Maga instructors, 2 commando instructors, 8 former legionnaires (buddies from the 2nd REI and REP and 1st and 6th REG), my two brothers (with possibly the first one coming with his Mech Inf. section and the second one coming with a few friends former marine commandos) and my daddy and his friend (former 11th RPC, 1st and 2nd REP buddies) backing me up Maybe my sister will come .. (she's by far the most dangerous of all)

you're welcome, PM me to get my physical address .... I need a punching ba.... some physical training i mean

Hey, cool down, it's not a final, and who knows, maybe you won't even reach the quarters

Luck is what makes life entertaining

I'll have just one comment concerning the ending of this game ..... MWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH EAT THAT YOU DAMNED ROASTBEEVES ! Ok ... now on a more fair-play note : It was a nice game and I have to admit I lost my faith at the end of the first period (sure the game was far from the end, but you know, the thing I said before about French losing to England in all the important games) very nice ending

it's funny to noticve that France wins all of its friendly games against England, but we loose all the games which have some kind of importance when playing against England

Agreed, or a crate of those must have fallen from the back of then truck and the bloke was there at the right place at the right time

generosity ? is that an STD ? You don't give away more recent video cards, you sell them

nice one

about obstacle races, I think we could make 2 different types of races : - the first one looking like a battlefield (barbed wire, sand bags, tank obstacles, destroyed walls, ruins and maybe a few landmines) with maybe one enemy machine gun near the finish line (immediate respawn but a time penality everytime you are shot). - the second one being some kind of drill course like in the first CWC mission with the same training obstacles but on a longer distance (with a time penality everytime you miss an obstacle or don't go through correctly).

What about a alrge marble/rock base with a slight marble slope the tank would be "climbing" and on the rest of the large monument base, a few FIA soldiers statues with a statue of Victor troska posing in front of the tank with a plaque at his feet don't look at me to model it though

well, this could be a something-athlon like in the winter olympics where they do some skiing and then some shooting
