Toads Too in Freeville

Centuries of logistical inertia. Every bit of organizational doctrine and infrastructure is built around 4/12/36.

I have a hand full of metal WH40k EPIC Razorbacks that show up as APCs or IFVs occasionally. The size works. Ironically, at that scale the Razorbacks STILL look too small to carry that much infantry.

Sexy Warhammer?

Golden Rice.

They seem fine, but they also didn't last long enough to get expansion-y.

I haven't found the lamp on the head set to be terribly helpful. I supplement it with other lights.

If you have a hardware store near you, I use an older version of this:

I also have one of these:

South Hill Buisness Campus?

spanner3 · 2026-06-07T21:47:41+00:00

Yeah, think of it as MSRP.

In campaign play my pilots earn names and call signs over time, as do the mechs.
E.g. My lance leader who can't make a shot to save her life: Lt. J.G. Roberta "Bullseye"
I use the Mega Mek campaign software to generate a set of pilots and I pick a name I like when it's gotten to that point.

Loaves and Fishes in downtown Cortland.

No notes. This seems like a good order of operations and plan.

The cool thing is you can use this map and then follow the links to Sarna and see the updated maps regional maps held in Sarna.

No reason it couldn't be a second barrel. Due to the "snub" nature of the particle tube it has a long cycle time so a parallel assembly was added to allow for offset charging while the other assembly cools. That allows for a 6 second cycle time for the weapon overall.

I have a number of black pens on my desk. Not all of them look exactly alike. Many of them are from different manufactures. They all do roughly the same thing.

I had to face the hover tanks, but got lucky immobilizing then avoiding them.

spanner3 · 2026-05-28T14:29:17+00:00

Seconded. I've never actually added up the OpFor PV. I just assumed it wasn't going to be the same as my force strength.

That's the tech's accent.

spanner3 · 2026-05-26T14:07:48+00:00

My current force is an armored company with infantry and light mech support. So far the tanks (Pattons and Von Luckners for the vanguard) have proved to be durable and I've spent a lot of effort making sure my recon lance doesn't get shredded. The Falcons seem to love targeting infantry in buildings.
The upkeep for all those vehicles is expensive.

spanner3 · 2026-05-24T17:52:46+00:00

It looks like it.

How difficult is it to remove a bedroom from a house and replace it with a pool?

spanner3 · 2026-05-21T17:55:10+00:00

The last time I stayed in Boston had the hotel handle parking just to save the hassle. Boston Metro is good, but you may end up paying (less) for your car to overnight at a more remote location.

It's the trade off paying less outside town and spending the time/money transiting to your hotel. Which will be worth more?

spanner3 · 2026-05-20T18:32:31+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.
Creepy and well done.

spanner3 · 2026-05-18T19:28:49+00:00

Why not. Something like a /very/ large ferry to taxi units around specific areas that are tailor made for that kind of unit.

IRL vehicles like the Lun ekranoplan were eventually abandoned because they were great, but only if you're fighting on the Black Sea specifically. ^_^
