Excellent work Chavez. Certainly makes 'Firefights' hard and causes teams to use co-op instead of run & gun.

I believe that the Swiss have not used that camo since the mid 90's. They have a woodland type pattern now very similar to those in Darkgivers mod. his ones seemed a little too dark.

I think this one is destined for the 'stan mod.

They'll be people wanting bottles of 'health' laying around the map next

Wolfsong has a great AT-4 in his "King and Country" mod. Or should I say superb AT-4.

If you can't get it mate I'll put it up on the 151 site and you can d/l from there. Let me know and I'll send you the link.

to simulate some real battlefield stresses that squad leaders go through.
Never been a TL in an Alpha or BAD co-op mission have you Budgie?

You manage all this mate and I'll have a word with Mrs Windsor (HM Queen) about getting you a knighthood! Great work.
I may even take back all I said about you and your mines

The trouble with this type of thread is the fact that it is pure hypothesis. Most of the posts are basing their opinion on a TV documentary they saw or an adventure book they read. Added to that is the nationalism and or patriotism of the writer. Either of those two can blinker the best of men or women.

Shuffle Button : When you are moving press the Alt key at the same time. This slows your move rate but makes you quieter and keeps the reticle pips close. Think of it as the 'sneaky key'

Two good friends of mine were jumped by the local heroes in an underpass. Our guys gave a good account of themselves until the local police turned up and arrested the lot of them. All were found guilty. The two soldiers were thrown out of the Army, career over, and the local pond life got a fine! And they wonder why we get bitter!

Excellent work Chems. Looking forward to this one.
Nice to see something something without made in the USA or Sweden on it

Soup its been this way since man first formed an army. When peace comes they won't even want you in the same bar. Was ever thus my friend.

This is a nice thread. This way you can out find out who the spawn campers are and avoid them in games

"nade spammer" is normally someone that just sits and fires grenades from, usually, an OICW. They normally have a collection of team kills because they do not bother or care where the grenades are going. Another give away is the "I'm elite" or variant message they keep typing on screen. They are about as popular as a hornet in your underwear.

Nice one Jack

I agree, after all I believe it was the Duke of Wellington that said "the cavalry is only there to bring class to a bloody brawl"

This is a good place to start your search into the various Regts of the Army.

@RS: It was a combat zone mate, be serious, the scarf was DPM.
@Zebb: I see you and the jarhead have joined forces. Which one are you? Beavis or .............................
@Mamon: First up I apologise for hijacking your thread. The headgear of the British Army is worth a book on its own. Each individual Regt has its own, distinctive badge (or motto in my case), there is also a wide variation in beret colours plus, as Argyll says, the Scots wear Tam O'Shanters or Glengarrys. If you are doing a skin wearing other than a helmet you are going to have to get specific on which Regt you are modelling. Oh and we have not got into badges on jackets yet

Never write the Jocks off!
And thats from an Englishman!

Soup you not got some crayons and paper? It'll be easier for the old jarhead if you use pictures. Use bright colours to keep his attention.
<One down. I'll move on to that old drop short Zebb next, muhahahaha!>
Remberance Day Poppy
in Real World Military

PLEASE WEAR A POPPY
"Please wear a poppy," the lady said
And held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.
A boy came whistling down the street,
Bouncing along on care-free feet.
His smile was full of joy and fun,
"Lady," said he, "may I have one?"
When she's pinned in on he turned to say,
"Why do we wear a poppy today?"
The lady smiled in her wistful way
And answered, "This is Remembrance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for
The gallant men who died in war.
And because they did, you and I are free -
That's why we wear a poppy, you see.
"I had a boy about your size,
With golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
Free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by he learned and grew
and became a man - as you will, too.
"He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
But he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away.
I still remember his face that day
When he smiled at me and said, Goodbye,
I'll be back soon, Mom, so please don't cry.
"But the war went on and he had to stay,
And all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it still in my dreams at night),
With the tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire,
And the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.
"Till at last, at last, the war was won-
And that's why we wear a poppy son."
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said, "Thanks, lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your son - did he come back all right?"
A tear rolled down each faded check;
She shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
And if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, if oft delayed,
Thought our freedom was bought - and thousands paid!
And so when we see a poppy worn,
Let us reflect on the burden borne,
By those who gave their very all
When asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy! Remember - and give!
