I don’t remember what I payed for World at war, its been over ten years. But I think it was worth it. We’ve tweeked the rules a bit and slightly modified the map then added in some stuff from AAE and AAP and its perfect. The games do tend to run a bit long though.

I think I missed somethingposted in General Discussion
What is the story with the two moses’ VI and VII
TG can’t post because he is moving to the south? I know rednecks are famous for being backwards, but some of us have coputers and know how to use them.
Also who is TM MOSES VII?
Confused,

RE: Dice Rollerposted in General Discussion
Before the hack the forums weren’t near as active as now. There were times when you could go a week and there would be nothing new. Now there are new posts nearly every hour.

RE: Racial Profiling in airportsposted in General Discussion
That is just bad security. Paying extra attention to people who fit a profile doesn’t meen you let people through how look like some ones grandmother with no check.
This problem has been in the news lately. I don’t have the numbers with me but it was tsagering howmany weapons were allowed through Airport security.
I don’t think the amount ao security in Isreal will ever be allowed here. You are recquired to fill out a security questionare in which, if you’ve ever been to an Arib country you must explian when were and why. You will also have to pass no less than 3 security check points. They have the right to stirp search you, and there are always a minimum of 2 armed guards on every flight.
But, they have not had a successful hyjacking in like 30 years.

My Kar-98 works great I can keep a 1" group at 100 yards. It is more accurate then my M1 Garand.

Where do you live? In Arizona you are aloud to own a fire arm at any age you just can’t buy it your self. And just afew years ago they passed a law that says you have to have a permission slip from your parrents to carry it. Before that it wasn’t nessaccery. I got my first shotgun when I was 12. I belive I had 6 guns by the time I turned 18.

RE: Coolest Army Get-upposted in General Discussion
I don’t remember where you said you are from, but Walmart here carries Shotgun News. I’d check that out it looks like a newspaper but it is a periodicle that is puplished every 10 days.
I’ll do some looking around and see what I can come up with for you.
Are you looking for something in particular?

RE: Coolest Army Get-upposted in General Discussion
There is a paper called “Shotgun News” that companies advertise guns in you can get all kinds of accesorys there, but you have to have someone with a dealers license order the guns for you.
I have a couple of collectable millatary guns. I have my K98 which is matching and stamped 1941, I have an M1 Garand, a Walther P-38 and an AK-47, not sure if that last one realy fits in there but its millitary anyway.
In one of the battles I went to I built a simulated bunker out of plywood. A buddy of mine and I got in it with an MG42 and an MP40 and two Squads one Brit and one American tried unsuccessfully to “dislodge” us. What a blast. I’m telling you that MG42 is like a buzzsaw, you can rip through a belt of 50 rnds in just a few seconds.

RE: Coolest Army Get-upposted in General Discussion
I only saw one MP44 the whole time I participated. It made me feel all soft in the midle;) Awesome rifle, they are very rare and cost thousands. I have fired the MG42 and the MG39 not quite as expencive although still probably over $1000 for an operable. The price comes down quite a bit for a blank only gun. You can actualy buy a demillatarized MG for a couple hundred bucks but the action has been cut into three or four pieces with a torch. If you manage to get it welded back together you have to register it and get an automatic weapons license. The license is 2 or 3 hundred dollars and is renewed yearly. In order to get this license you sighn away your right to search and seasure. The BATF is allowed to enter your residence to inspect you weapons at any time. This aplies wether you buy the gun intact or rebuild it your self.
This is why I say the fun toys are expencive.
The bolt-action rifles fire blanks, crimped ends with no projectile. The autos have a few options. If you have a “blank gun” the barrel has been drilled through and filled with lead. These guns fire fine with crimped end blanks. They also do not require a automatic weapons license.
If you have an operational machine gun you have to adapt it to fire blanks. One method, used by the Germans for training was that the bullets were made of wood and an adapter was made that was similar to clamping a nail inside the barrel this was called a “bullet shredder”. This was used for the MG 39 and 42.
As for knowing if your hit, well that goes by the honor system or referees. Half the fun is dieing creatively, besides some times you get tired of running and it feels good to play dead for a while!

RE: Racial Profiling in airportsposted in General Discussion
I think that profileing is a good tool if used properly. You don’t lax the security for some one who doesn’t fit the profile but I sure don’t mind if the bump it up a notch for those that look the part.
