Gadje- a thoughtful idea, I'll admit

At the end of the mission we will still get the bluescreen point display, I think. I agree with Mike that 'tis better/more interesting to fly vs. Humananese, but we rarely have enough lads to fill all the slots. And I would'nt say the AI blow; not at this point in Nellip's campaign.... COM(please no...

MY 2-CENTS......

Online Gaming Teamwork- These thoughts have been tossed around the squad since before I joined. (2003) The Squad has definitely improved over the years; from both playing as a 'squad' to removing icons/padlock, or just more realistic parameters. This has created only TWO working pairs of players in ...

coincidental, AB

When I met Icefrog at the Chino airport last year, the historical topic of the day was 'Forward Air Controllers'; there were about 30-40 Viet Nam pilots who flew that Cessna at the Museum that day, discussing their missions. (a dour and crotchety bunch to say the least)They had a few versions of it ...

:FI:Book Review:'Carnage&Culture'.

Gents- I know every mate is reading SOME kind of scribble on papayrah. My latest is 'Carnage and Culture', by Victor D. Hanson, Anchor books. This Military Historian cites five separate historical battles- from Cortez to the Tet offensive, that reveal, since the Greeks, Western Civ's obsession with ...

Well said, Dan.

I love drugs and the perspective they provide our modern society. Cud-chewing Anna is the perfect metaphor for popular American kkkultur, or lack thereof. Bring on the sweet rage, Dan!

Sounds wonderful, Nellip! (though I'm skill-less to help ye)

This way there'll be less post-traumatic-PtoJ-mission symptoms felt by the Laddies- count me in for Sundays. In closing, I wish to thank Vin and Greg for creating a fluid, cohesive, historic set of missions that really helped solidify this drunken, I mean this great squadron, ahem.

TIME (The Reaper) WARNER CABLE

Geeez.....It was only an eighth of a mile but you'd imagine it to be a Carl Sagan 'billions&billions'....lots of cash, four equadorians, a big truck and yours truly and I'm back. Thanks for your concern! ~S~

Moving Downtown/Glitter and Doom

The Missus and I are packing up the computer, unused wainscotting and empties closer to downtown- 16th street, to be more exact. We actually startled the agent by genuflecting on the fact that we would now have to "buy our first couch". Hhhmmmm. So, I will be absent from the squad for a du...

I have a feeling.....

these things occured more often than what is often duly noted in the annals of supposed "History". At the risk of sounding pink and fluffy, of course. Strange to imagine seeing pieces of the top turret gunner littered along the fuselage; IL2 doesnt have the 'full-gore" button, thankfu...

:FI: Book review: "The Unknown Darkness"

As I begin to type this blather, I feel a tinge of the creep that is part of me begin to leak through my pores; I've always been taken by serial killing- go to your local bookstore and I'll be in the 'True Crime' section. "The Unknown Darkness" by Gregg O. McCrary, Harper Books, 2003. Not ...

Well done, Ultor.

Gunnery, Gunnery, Gunnery. Play quick mission builders vs. numerous bogies/bombers; adjust their skill levels as you move through different AC, concentrating on your shooting. Your chandelle was good- you're just sweaty playing against humans. (meaning you're playing the right game) continue with yo...
