Easy Techno, it's a corruption of 'Association Football'!

I thought American Football was rugby for wusses who couldn't play it without body armour? There again I famously know nothing about sport.

Oh, Blimey !
Of course it is. 

Blame the combination of new painkillers and the other new pills I'm taking.....They're great.

I thought it was 'soccer' because 'bunch of sissies playing keepaway and flopping' was considered too risque? 

So, if I want a bunch of replies to my batreps, all I have to do is insult soccer?

Having said all that, it is indeed a joke.  While 'futbol' is not my thing and I am a huge fan of 'America Football,' I don't really care, I just couldn't help but run my mouth!  In any case, next batrep coming right up.

All,

It's 1500 on 29 June 1990 and Battlegroup Aguilera is pushing ahead towards the Cronistrian town of Pisa, at the northern edge of TF Galban's operational area.  Once Pisa is secured the Task Force will swing west to complete the encirclement of the Cronistrian capital city, Miran.  Battlegroup Aguilera was the first element off the starting line for Operation Chokehold, kicking off the operation with an enemy assault on the town of Kacak.  Lt Aguilera is a bit anxious; his men are ready, but will this be the meatgrinder the battlegroup ran into in the first attack, or will they be victorious, as in the second?

Let's find out


Overview, north is up.  The Cubans will enter from the southwest (bottom left), behind Hill 176, attacking the city, Pisa (top center) and seize its vital road junction.  Doing this will:
1) cement TF Galban's left flank;
2) remove the Dubrovna garrison; and
3) allow TF Galban to move on to its next objective, the town of Stanje.

Hill 150 is at top right, beyond Pisa.


The Cobra rolls in on a rocket run.  To see how the fight went, please check the blog at:

One more fight to post, this one being Battlegroup Caballero's completion of the operation, the assault on Stanje to complete the encirclement of the capital city.  But don't worry, that's not the last fight

V/R,
Jack

Have your hands swelled up like two balloons?

Has your Floyd gone Pink?

There is no pain,
You are receding,
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon,
You are coming only through in waves,
Your lips move,
But I can't hear what you're saying........  

(I'm not taking this combination of pills too often !...Thank goodness it's Saturday tomorrow.. )

Cheers - Phil.

Different song I know, but I was always partial to "...you've got that look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky..."

You reached for the secret too soon...

"...you wore out your welcome, with random precision..."

"Shine on, you crazy diamond."

Non piu andrai, farfallone amoroso,
notte e giorno d'intorno girando.
Nelle belle turbando il riposo,
Narcisetto, Adoncino d'amor.

Real music lovers can play that game too!

Oh-oo-oh, so you think you're something special
Oh-oo-oh, you think you're something else

...
That don't impress me much

Got to love some Shania Twain! 

Real music lovers, eh?

"Je te plumerai la beque..."

V/R,
Jack

My knowledge of Italian suggests this translates as ...

"I have no Andrex and that Amaretto farfalle
Last night is churning my insides grand style.
No belly should hold a turbot so ripe,
Don't be narky, Andrex, my love"

Am I close?

 

Now that's what I call a thread hijack!

Hijack? Isn't the thread title "Something rotten ..."
