Everyone wants the Apache because of those 16 Hellfires it can carry - the thing is though it's so weighed down by them all that it can't get out of its own way.<br /> <br />Also in other news I started the proof of concept for the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle platoon and finished the first quick-build M2 Bradley today and all my US GIs are now based.

Not bad at all. I plan on buying 2 or 3 more of them :)<br /><br />Got a great Hind story for you from Iraq.<br /><br />As a young platoon leader in Iraq I watched a platoon of US Army engineer D-9 bulldozers push an entire squadron of Hind gunships all the way down the runway, destroying all of them.<br /><br />I had tears in my eyes.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-31334318595272380502015-10-29T18:46:43.028-04:002015-10-29T18:46:43.028-04:00What the flock!
