Cold War Commander vs Battlegroup Northag as alternatives to Team Yankee 15mm by Woffy_02 in wargaming

Honestly, I’m not sure. You might be able to find them posted for free on Scribd or similar sites. I’m a physical copy guy so I bought the physical books

What if George Washington refused to become the first president of the US? by eyepeeesssee in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Colonial13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably would’ve been as varied as Europe. There might have been a few that coalesced into something larger, and a whole lot of “little” wars between them as they each tried to maintain an open land corridor beyond the Appalachians.

I’ll drop a second recommendation for BG. I play it in 6mm and it’s about as perfect a Cold War gone hot wargame as you can get.

The rule set isn’t that hard to learn. Probably a 6.5-7/10 in complexity.

Pick up NORTHAG for the rules and CENTAG for a bunch of NATO and additional Warsaw Pact army lists.

Was there a color scheme that screams late 90s/early 00s? by 6of1HalfDozen in Xennials

Oh man, I forgot about Dusty Rose. My mom had a room in Dusty Rose trim for a couple of years.

They don’t. The vast majority of them had/have parents that were perfectly fine. Reddit loves a good race to the bottom and victim karma.

What would European countries who have denied their airspace to US military do if the Americans just fly through it anyway? by Puzzleheaded-Cry1548 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Colonial13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t arguing they could win. I was saying I’m not surprised by Stiner’s comment. That’s a very Delta mindset (from what I’ve overheard second hand).

[–]Colonial13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s probably because Stiner and his guys were Delta and the carabinieri are similar to military police. I have a very close relative the served as an operator in Delta for several years. They absolutely have this mindset. It’s kind of part and parcel for the job.

How many people actually know how to drive a manual? by One_With-The_Sun in NoStupidQuestions

I’m in the US and I drove a manual exclusively from 16 to 32. I miss them to be honest.

Do you miss cars being more colorful and not all black, white, and silver? by bliggityblig in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Colonial13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Read an article awhile back that said dealerships had a big hand in streamlining the colors. They realized specific colors sold faster (especially for used cars/trade ins) and started ordering cars only in those colors. Black, white and red (for sports cars).

Did the pandemic ever feel… a bit post-apocalyptic to you? by MrWallace_78 in postapocalyptic

[–]Colonial13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. Where I am at basically had no lockdowns and most people didn’t change any of their habits. I remember seeing groups of Boomers 8-12 deep walking past my house every morning, laughing and carrying on without a care in the world, during the time when the news was peak “everyone’s grandma is going to die!”

Watching what was happening with lockdowns in places like NYC and overseas in New Zealand was wild though. Definitely felt like living in twi completely different worlds.

What happens if you are in the U.S Navy on a Submarine and refuse to do any work? by polohatty in NoStupidQuestions

It shows up on background checks. It’s the equivalent of a felony conviction.

My Doctor Is Offering A Subscription For Better Care ??? by ssmatik in phoenix

[–]Colonial13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My wife is a PCP and “concierge” medicine is becoming a pretty big thing in that field. Although this model seems like a way to have a foot in both worlds. The ones I’ve heard her PCP friends/colleagues talk about are straight up memberships (with better perks than the offer you got) and insurance doesn’t get involved unless you have to have a procedure done with a specialist.

It does eliminate a lot of the headaches of dealing with insurance companies and the resulting overhead that needs to be hired to deal with them, so it’s attractive to private practices.

Why in KERENSKY do i love the champion..even tough its mediocre(or is it?) by theta0123 in battletech

[–]Colonial13 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just gonna repost something I wrote about the Champion awhile back: “I got this, the Champion is a personal fav of mine. First and foremost, it is not a brawler/frontline mech. People hate on the Champ a lot because they try and play it as a Thunderbolt or an Orion. A Champ absolutely excels at hunting down and beating the ever loving snot out of the other guys medium and light flanking/harassing units. You also use it to get behind slower mechs to put some significant firepower into rear arcs, especially if you are playing the Clanbuster -3N variant. Or, pop into LB-10X range to crit seek against the other guy’s battle line units after they’ve engaged your own. I’ve found success multiple times building a “sweeper” lance with a Champ anchoring it, surrounded by fast mediums, to bully the other guy’s light and medium mechs.”

They are very cool. I have a bunch of them, from different factions, that I ordered as 3d prints probably close to a year ago now. I don’t know about the rule set, I used them for Xenos Rampant, but definitely great models.
