Yeah, and it will still be us PBI who get sent in to clear up the mess your big guns make.
We'll hunt your mortars, you keep them panzers off our backs.

You all leave lt Techno's hole alone.

"Hello Yankee. Ve are vaiting for you here. Ve haf lots of machine guns and mortars and haf to send some Panthers away because ve haf so many.!"

I just posted the order of battle on my blog! Gentlemen, take your places, please. If you have a 'different' user name on a forum, and you're looking at one of the names on the OOB and you're thinking, 'I wonder if that's me?' it is.

Battalion Commander: LtCol "Black Jack" Mac

Holy sh!t you guys are killing me!  I just shot coffee all over my living room; this is going to be even better than I thought!   

Well, since he's the only one that asked, I've swapped Lt Ithoriel with Lt Drakenganer, so that Ithoriel now commands his beloved M10 Wolverines.  But no more griping, and no more transfers until we have vacancies due to casualties, and it will be on a first-come, first serve basis, with the caveat that humor/creativity as to the purpose of the transfer wins you extra points as well.

Nik - What most folks don't realize is that the good Gunny there is an amalgamation of characters, which is why they only had one Drill Instructor.  In real life he would be the Senior Drill Instructor (wears a shiny black belt), and have three or four 'green belts' under him.

Tecno - Having a working radio is no more likely to give you a clue as to what's happening than reading tea leaves.  And I'm sure your hole will be fine 

Lemmey's getting into it, I dig it.  And for that, Lemmey becomes the first lieutenant to get a picture (just updated on the blog).

And FSN looks to be volunteering to be the leader of the dastardly Hun, and you are now my counterpart, Oberstleutnant...  How do I 'German up' FSN???  Fischneckt?  Fitzensump?  Flectschnizzle?  Fasignuggen?  Have to work on that.

Well, this certainly brightened my morning, thanks fellas, and hopefully I get this kicked off tomorrow morning!

V/R,
Jack

BRILLIANT !!

You mean we'll all be going after fsn !! 
Don't worry about the humour. I think you can rely on us for that....
Looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Cheers - Phil.

Sir,
I wish to report the louses at HQ have lost my i.d. photo. The MPs keep demanding to see it, they won't buy an '403 access forbidden' notice!

I would think Oberstleutnant Franz Sophia Nikolaus Hundertmann has a nice ring to it, and it would do the trick. FSN might even like it.

Seer Gut. I shall go and polish my jackboots, the better to stamp upon your overfed American dog-faces.

(Apologies again. I read far too many "Commando" comics as a child)

*lights another Lucky Strike with his battered old Zippo*

Well, boys - time to get our sh!t together again. I want everything saddled up & ready for the off in ten. Wazowski, make sure you've got enough belts for the .30cal. Jones, will you get rid of that f*ck!n dog? I do not want a repeat of the chicken episode.

On me...

Remember guys, Harwood got transferred from the cavalry...

"Germaning up" fsn - Oberstleutnant Fritz Sonder Niemand - translates as Lieutenant Colonel Fritz (because in Commando comics all Germans are "Fritz") Nobody Special 

The German counterpart of Lieutenant Kije perhaps?

Me and my boys are ready !
Just waiting for the signal !
Cheers - Phil.

Dammit, another beverage shooter!
"I shall go and polish my jackboots, the better to stamp upon your overfed American dog-faces."
No apologies necessary, but what did you do, find a (current) picture of me?

And Amen, another tip of the hat to the comics of our youth: Oberstleutnant Fritz it is!

I'm glad you've got your boys standing by, it looks like we're crossing the line of departure early tomorrow morning.  Not sure when I'll have it written up though, I just finished a 5 and 1/2 hour solo game of Black Powder (modified).  Thanks for everything guys, this has already been a hoot!

V/R,
Jack
