Do to the prompting of Tim G and others about the thrill
of doing the 54mm Little Wars, I remembered this page
Some of the games here CRY OUT to be redone as
Funny Little Wars battles! So Tim (and all other likely
lads) take a look at this page! Sadly the Ouargistan
Colonial Gaming Group is no longer active but their spirit
lives on thanks to the way back machine Internet archive

Tanker's Tuesday: They Were On Drugs!
I know we've talked about this one before but, the madness of this idea has
made me do a few (what if) mental scenarios.
*********************************************
One: how many M4 Shermans or T34s would it take to kill this beast?
*********************************************
Two: What would the MTO or what other vehicles and support elements would attached to a Landkreuzer Ratte unit?
*********************************************
Three: How many of these things could have been built, I'd say two maximum.
*********************************************
Four; and most important of all, why doesn't
Don already have one? ;-)

All Quiet on the Martian Front, Miniature Tanks vs Tripods
THE WORLD OF ALL QUIET ON THE MARTIAN FRONTThe Martian attack of 1898 brought terrible devastation to the city of London and set the course of human history upon an altogether unexpected path. Amongst the ruins of the greatest metropolis on Earth, the Martians had - in the end – faltered and perished. Everyone now knows that these invaders were overcome, not by the might of Queen Victoria’s armies, but by nature’s own forces of disease and decay. Against these mere microbes, the Martians’ superior minds could muster no defense. Where mankind had failed, the smallest and least significant of all Earth’s organisms had triumphed.
Although the Martian invasion shocked the world and caused widespread panic in the days that followed, by the early years of the twentieth century, many influential thinkers were eager to proclaim the aliens a spent force. Fear of further alien attack was gradually displaced by the humdrum concerns of life and commerce. It is sobering to reflect that most people were happy to accept this misguided notion, as we now know it to have been. All over the world, only a few visionaries continued to warn that the first attack might have been a scouting foray, the precursor to a full-scale invasion. They urged humanity to ready itself for war or risk extermination. These men were openly ridiculed and all too often dismissed as alarmists and cranks. Few even noticed the arrival of the second wave of Martian cylinders that fell to earth sometime around the end of 1908. By the time the Martian presence came to the attention of the governments of Earth, it was already too late.

Armored Force - 1950's United States Army Tanks Educational Documentary
The United States Army "Big Picture" television series shows us there is nothing as mighty and bold in "war" as the tank. The role it plays in combat and in training is spectacularly pictured in "Armored Force."

A Bridge "Pretty" Far
Got this in from the Royal Engineers by way of
Forbodia courtesy of King Boris III (also known
for security reasons we're sure, by the rather
innocuous name of Tim Gow) The Forbodian
army had this splendid piece of British technology
sitting in a store house since the last war unused
largely since there are no major rivers in Forbodia.
The Brazos Evil Empire on the other hand is of
course named for the major river that bisects it.
This gift from the Forbodian government is quite
warmly accepted by our government and we look
forward to seeing the other side of the Empire very
soon! As shown in the photos our engineers of busily
training on the tarmac behind their barracks in
preparation of setting up the bridge on the river for
the first Imperial picnic on the east bank in many
years. In conclusion we would like to express our
hart felt gratitude to his Royal Highness King Boris III,
and to the Forbodian Royal Engineers to include the
two highly trained professional technicians sent along
to train our Engineers, who once sober were extremely
helpful in the success of this operation.
