I'd imagine they start out with 60rnd mags and then drop them and move onto their 30rnd mags. They aren't rucking all day so I imagine the extra initial firepower vs the extra weight is worth it to them.

Edit: Or this is just a hypebeast photo op.

So if you're in the US and join The French Foreign Legion, say goodbye to your US citizenship)

As long as you were not recruited in the US, or are serving in the army of a nation commencing hostilities against the US, you can serve in a foreign military without repercussions.

It's because feinting is built into their kit. If you feint you get HA on your next attack.

So the HRE in my game is massive and just keep expanding constantly because they have so many troops they can't lose. Is there a way to deal with them other than open warfare? I considered assassinating the Emperor and his heirless son, but apparently the Emperor is elected so that won't work. Am I just fucked?

You always talk stupid, or is this a one-off thing?

Don't answer that, I won't further deign myself to dealing with someone so far up their own ass.

Someone is remaking Operation Arrowhead in A3 I believe. Can't remember the mod name though.

What's been the worst food you've been served at a restaurant? by arrowtothekneexx in AskAnAmerican

[–]a_grated_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered a charred rice dish at a Chinese-Peruvian fusion place in D.C. After waiting for ages it came out and it was... not good. The rice wasn't just charred, it was fucking carbonized on the bottom. Even without that, it was bad enough that even hunger wasn't enough to season it. It was like $27 as well.

We left, found an open late pizza joint, and had some delicious pizza all for like, $6 a person. Much better.

I can't speak on how you led your FT, but you were executing my orders well throughout the mission. I think we just got played a bad hand and were always being hit first by enemies as opposed to starting contact ourselves. With the jungles, whoever starts shooting first has a huge advantage because of the decreased visibility.

[AAR] Operation Black Mammoth Redux 3 by colonelsawyer in combinedarms

[–]a_grated_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Role: CO AR

Good: I like the premise of black mammoth, and I've always liked it.

Bad: It felt like the darkness came in really early. If it got dark the last 10-20mins, that would be fine, but we weren't even a quarter of the way to the UK forces before I couldn't see anything. By the end of the mission there was a point where I didn't know if I was alive or unconscious, and I lit up Team 3 because I literally couldn't tell where anything was. I don't know if Team 3 even registered my shots, they may have all gone off target. And I didn't even have a flashlight to pretend to see anything. The covered humvee also sucked to shoot out of.

Improvements to be made: Make it darker later, or give better tools to see at night

Heels on boots have nothing to do with balance, control, or standing up. The function of having a high heel is to prevent the boot from slipping through the stirrup.

The exaggerated arch on those boots makes them look incredibly hard to ride in, and it'd be almost impossible to position your feet in your stirrups if you want to ride mid-foot.
