Likely more grenade practice accidents, and accidental shootings on the range. One of our guys was asked a question in basic, answered by swinging around with the rifle and got slapped so hard his helmet went down range, but he knew he had screwed up aiming a loaded weapon at a officer.

i think that is a fair reaction... when we had uzi practices as the range... all officers had been really jumpy for the turn around of us fellas... if we got a real good see to before hand that wouldn´t have occured tho... but allas... our commander was a wee whippersnapper... so no hard yelling then...

Well, in the US Army, the Officers are jumpy enough due to the Viet Nam era and "Fragging"

I have a strong opinion of VietNam because of my Father. He was Drafted into the US Army on his 18th Birthday and spent his Senior year of High School (after the Tet Offensive) knowing exactly where he was going and he didn't have a say in the matter. He was an Engineer in VietNam and had been in Cambodia clearing LZs when Richard Nixon said on TV that The US wasn't in Cambodia. To clear LZs he sprayed Agent Orange and who knows what else. His officer sent him out with a Bucket Loader and no support when an RPG whizzed between the seat and steering wheel. He always loved kids because he was a big kid himself, and would give young Vietnamese kids chocolate and extra rations etc. often. Once, one of those kids threw a satchel charge at him and he had no choice. He died at age 54 of a Brain Tumor.

Originally the practice of sneakling a frag grenade into a place that the officer would move something, and the pin would come loose, thus fragging him.

I dunno, I think I'm in love with it as-is to tell you the truth.



The Bren-looking stubber makes me think it should be Praetorian or perhaps Mordian or even Valhallan??

It's not glued, just popped in there for the moment like the hatches. I magnetized the Battle cannon, and the housing rotates freely, however strangely, the one sponson sticks while the other moves freely. I couldn't see any warpage or anything that would cause it, but the tread assemblies have an inward slanting stance that is different (probably pinching the action), but I like it.

I'd say Steel Legion, but Mordian may be better. If you go Praetorian, may be good to have some guy looking out of the hatch.

I first thought Steel Legion too, but their fluff is mostly chimeras.

LOL drinking tea- that would be funny. What other British stereotypes should it have? And would a Pith helmet be worn by a tank crew while operating it? Or would they use a leather-type helmet?
