@unclejimmy Stolen Valour Seals are some of the dumbest people on Earth. Don Shipley (before he got banned from YouTube) did the world a great service exposing them.

Oh really you’ve got a Medal of Honour even though only have a small handful have ever earned one. Oh you were captured even though a SEAL has never been captured. Whenever he says “Do you have a Class number for me?” then “Can’t seem to find you on my list sir” that’s when you know you’re in big trouble. “Oh it’s a Secret Navy Cross” is probably my favourite line someone tried to tell him.

I got my Moderns start using a friends 20mm Soviets and Afghans. I only got these in 28mm because they were rediculously cheap at a Convention.

1. I’d recommend giving 12 Strong the Movie a Miss.

3. Big Lez is a true National Treasure. The thing that makes it so great is that the characters are only barely Caricatures. A lot of people actually talk like that over here although it’s more of a ‘dodgy’ Tradey type speech. I’m glad the rest of the world finally knows what ‘Winnie Blues” are. Yeah Nah Yeah Mate is something you could hear from anyone on the street.

“How’s work mate” “Yeah Nah it’s alright mate”

In other news we had some Aussie Kids steal a car, pack some fishing rods and drive over 1200Km (Paris to Berlin, NYC to Houston Texas for comparison in Australia he didn’t actually get far he barely crossed the Border). The oldest was 14. https://www.themorningbulletin.com.au/news/urgent-search-for-4-gracemere-children-in-stolen-c/3779548/

5. It’s not that kind of channel it’s more like a Lindybiege/Shad Educational channel. I’m not interesting enough to have a ‘personality’ channel and a lot of the funny stories I have are still within the statute of Limitations.

6. @oriskany has been introducing me to Modern stuff. We’ve played Vietnam, Arab Israeli Falkland and tomorrow at 8pm GMT we’ll be in the skies over Vietnam.

@limburger I’m not a fan of reboots or sequels either especially when you read about all the brilliant stories like Flashman, Historical Memoirs and Wheel of Time (although Wheel of Time is getting a TV show) it makes me wonder if writers and directors are too lazy or too scared to try new things. Then again Flashman would NEVER be allowed to air even if it was made the public outcry would be enormous.

So my Hobby will now be reading these rules Jim sent me ready for tomorrow morning when we’ll be streaming over at Stirep’s Twitch Channel.

@cpauls1 the Paras are for Arnhem and my Project goes into the colours used (mostly Army Painter) while the Russians are painted using reference Material.
