ran

that's not what they sign to do , that's what they sign for

we should ask them to make apologies , and in their next issue to put the unedited photo with a little text about the context of it

tasteless ....... especially considering how and where these men died ....

This question totally depends on who you would be killing and why. I dont think any soldier who accidentally shot a civilian would think "Hmmm...thats a wasted bullet". depends under which circumstances (talking about the extremes there)

heh .... no way i risk my neck for somebody else if it's nt really absolutely necessary , gallantry has its limits under fire (i'm one of the really few who thinks that gallantry toward females is a sticky remain of the sexist behavior of the end of the 19th century). -edit-: i always let the women pass first though ...... you never know if there' are stairs , holes or even tripwire mines i'm gallant when i need something , otherwise Mrs can open doors as good as me and she can take her coat to the clothes hanger wiythout any problem , if she needs another coat because she's going to catch a cold , it's all her fault for not hinking about it and there's no way i give hermine because i took it with me for a good reason ............. well , this can change under certain circumstances ..... but generally , that's how I do it , my wife agrees because she has the same opinion as me (but she still likes when i'm gallant with her .... but i don't have any hope of seeing her hanging my clothes , giving me a coat , taking me my daily journal , opening me doors ....)

heh , i agree with you on this one

heh that's sure well ........ lucky women sleep in different quarters with MP's between ours and theirs .....

if it's about that then , it has to be done in the best possible conditions ;) well , more and more women apply for army , here at least

flying pancake ? Hasegawa made a 1/72 model of it

absolutely NO lowering of the physical standards for women ... if it was up to me .... for years , feminists have wanted to proove that women are equal to men ..... why not let them proove it ? I remember of a warrant , squad leader , she was taller than me and could break me in two if ever i did something wrong , she had huge leadership capital and she was well appreciated by her men , she had seen combat in Kosovo and had experienced enemy fire , with an exceptionnally good conduct a really few men are able to achieve under such conditions now , i also remember when on a tour to Bosnia , a couple of nurses (late teenagers generally) we met (of the army health service , who had the same basic training as male grunts) went totally down the toilets in 2 weeks due to "battle" fatigue (notice the "'s) i'm not complaining about women in the army , it's a good thing , but we shouldn't let everybody go on a battlefield under the pretext of sexual equality , a good selection process would be that only the most able ones should go in , no matter if they are men or women

CRAP...mm'kay. threads are ment to be read before posting any reply

we can ship guillotines to our british friends if needed

Reuters page -edit-: could a mod please correct the mistake i made at Sharm El-Sheikh

CRAP is no more , it's been replaced by the GCP

edit : i've found the box-art of thesemodern russian troops , i'll try to get the references when i'll have the time but here you go : (those are cheap plastic figure of relatively good quality you can find under the DML/Shanghai Dragon/Dragon/Italeri brands) -edit-: sorry Warin , but all my skills came with the years and with some flawed models finding a basic painting tutorial shouldn't be that hard , i'll look into it asap

i've also seen a 1/35 decals set for tanks enguaged in chechnya war , by MIG i think and i found this , by Zvezda : i'm not familliar of the brand , the picture looks nice ,but i'd like to see what's in the box you may check Shanghai dragon too , i've spotted some VDV and Naval Infantry soldiers

for the M1 , maybe you could get some Italeri modern US troops and make some random dio about the modern russian figures ...... well ..... i've never looked much into the subject might be something to look into : Russian tank crew they actually depict troops for the 1979/1988 period but with some work you could make them look like more modern ones Hornet white metal figures a bit old ut still possible to find , ERTL/ESCI 1/35 Paratroopers

since when do you choose what aircraft you fly in when you reserve a ticket ? since compagnies tell you about the type of plane used by each flight CSA and Air France for exemple inform the users about the type of plane used i never fly on charters and second-zone compagnies , only national flag carriers and military transports

OT55

an OT55 wouldn't be a bad addition i remember of this Pre-Resistance flamthrower scripted addon , it didn't lag much .......

is OFPMAN1's YAK141 any good ?

you tend to feel these things .. especially seating when in a 15 degrees descent

(un)productive you mean ;) but if it wasn't for the submissions Acecombat , Mr. Burn sent me and the ones Hellfish forwarded , i would have nothing to build my top 10 on

don't worry , but if we get so few submissions ............. there are so many awesome pics in this thread which could be submitted .......... with participation , noting can be done

french equipment is on its way
