Texas is short of beef? The South is limiting pork? The USA is in deep trouble.;)

Given that China is punishing Australia on every trade and tourist front for us daring to request an independent...

A manager of a local supermarket told a customer with a trolley load of baked beans etc that the limit was two cans etc a person. Customer arced up and ended up throwing cans at manager, which hurt...

Same here, with no refunds on the panic bought items. Some people will probably have their toilet paper disintegrate before they get around to using it many years into the future. I hope it...

Different to preparing for armed Armageddon, a mate in a huge hardware chain told me today that their sales of vegetable seedlings have gone through the roof in recent weeks.

Seems that there's a...

I’m not aware of that sort of conduct here, but I consider it about the same as looting after major disasters like hurricanes and bushfires. Buying ridiculous quantities of food and other supplies...

TG.

Thanks again, old friend.

I recognise the bottom gun in your picture, but not the top one. Is the top one a hand held version of the 105mm howitzer? ;)

Back to the original topic on...

Thanks, TG, my grand old friend.

I'm glad that your and others' experience supported this handy gun, which somehow manages to fly under the radar on our bans on semi-autos.

I like it because,...

Seems I can’t start a new thread, but can remain logged in to this thread.

So I apologise for hijacking this thread to get TG’s opinion on what was to be a separate thread.

TG may recall...

Similar down here.

Matter of opinion whether shortages are due to fu**wits panic buying or, in my view, more due to mixed messages coming from medical and government officials who started this a...

Yup, the basic posting features are, as the Americans say, SNAFUBB.

Similar problems on visiting and posting tonight, after a long absence. And difficulty editing on a fractured edit page.

Seems like admin isn't bothering to keep the forum operating properly.

Fair enough for a forum that's nearly dead but, if...

Off topic, but moving towards a modern vaguely related event.

Chevan, me old mate: Looking at the current situation, do you as a Russian feel that the West is pressing unreasonably against Russia...

You might be confusing the successive corrupt governments of SVN with hungry apes.

Or maybe not. :evil:

Fair enough, but whose side were they on? :confused: ;) :D

Our structure was that what I called above 'mechanized infantry' (technical term 'assault troop') were part of our armoured corps and, we thought, somewhat superior to mere infantry. Surprisingly,...

I was just mechanized infantry in an armoured unit, which was cavalry rather than tanks. The nearest I got to a driver was being flung around on top of and inside an M113 on tank courses, which was...

In many tanks is the reverse also true? That is, if the turret isn't in the correct position the driver (and I think is some cases and or other crew members) can't escape?

If so, seems fair enough...

Thanks for that.

Good idea to grab the grease gun before exiting as shown in the photo, which allows a small arms battle just like Fury. Or, more realistically, gives the crewman a slightly...

Common sense says that the escape hatch and mount would be reinforced to ensure that it wouldn't be a weak spot if an anti-tank mine went off under the belly. Is that correct?

I think it was feasible for Japan to leave America out of its southern advance and take only British and Dutch assets, in the hope that American isolationism would not result in any American response...

I missed the panzerfaust shots.

Must have happened when I went to the toilet, which was an unavoidable event in a film that was giving me the shits.

There were so many other things wrong with...

Free to air TV just showed Fury here, so it's not necroposting but just an update.;)

FFS!

Where do I start with criticism?

At the end, to keep it short.

Supposed SS column marching to the...
