CrashbotUS

Was that deployed with the Russian ground units or is it Syrian? I've always liked that particular piece of hardware. 

Dang, I had some 25mm and 30mm casings I'd have given you had I seen this thread before my wife chucked them. 

I was a die hard AMD guy since the 90s. I finally sucked it up and switched to Intel and couldn't be happier. AMD seems to have dropped the ball when it comes to being competitive in the consumer PC market. 

Sriracha is a good Bloody Mary ingredient. 

US, UK, Latvian, and Romanian units training. 

Joint US and Polish training. 

Has anyone tweaked Stellaris with any mods yet? I see a bunch of stuff on Steam but still running vanilla. 

I can tell from that background image that the History Channels classic attention to detail in regards to historical accuracy is in full effect. 

I got on of these a few weeks ago.

The rules were a bit more nuanced than "only a knight can carry a sword". It depended on the period, the person, the location, and current "person on the throne". 

1st and 3rd Infantry Divisions. 

Ooops.

Grabbed an Asus MG279Q last Christmas, 1440p, 144hz, IPS panel. It's goddamn beautiful.

Well that is a nice looking monitor. Anyone else have any favorite?  Once I figure out a way to make my current one "not work anymore", I can run getting a new one past the Mistress of Finance. 

It was all the rage to carry a weapon (if you are one of the classes that was allowed) all out in the open and letting it make as much noise as it could rattling around on you. The plebs had to hide theirs. 

I really do need a new monitor. My 21" 1080p is just not cutting it now. 

Yeah, best to find a good local HEMA group or something. Due to the level of actual level physical activity, training and fitness requirements, there are significantly less neckbeards and the like. 

 

As far as sabers go,I have been playing around with learning how to properly use the shashka. I haven't cut my own leg off yet, so I guess I am doing OK with it. 

That guys needs to work on the spear counter a little more. 

We have some former college fencers in our group. It's been both an advantage and disadvantage depending on what we are doing. Helpful with body mechanics and muscle memory, a little less helpful with other aspects of early medieval period European martial arts. 

I always have the chat turned off. Turned it on tonight. Holy crap that place is cancer. 

HIMARS live fire from the 27th FA regiment.

These truck mounted field guns really do not seem to take ease of use into account. I get they are cheap, but if it takes 5 minutes to reload or the the loader falls off the truck and gets hurt...
