well in any case I guess I'll look up the various areas in TW2K that I have information on and then work out a few NPCs. I might even create some Improvised munitions if Krackow decides to produce more than just mortars.

in any case Charlie Mike everyone.

Welcome aboard!

Just your description of this player of yours that's ex-USMC smells of a sh*tbird. Intelligence...medically discharged...Somalia. I've got a friend in USMC Intelligence. Doesn't get anywhere near any action.

So definitely ask him to tone down the rhetoric during the game and if he can't, show him the door.

As far as your games...I think you'll find there's quite a number of people here that can provide just about any idea you'd ever want for games. And answering questions won't be a problem for us, either.

Marine intel in Somalia, yep.
They never left the U.S.S. Wasp, and certainly never went field.
Sounds like a typical fobbit claiming more then he should.
Until I see peoples dd214 I don't trust many strangers stories as almost all turn out to be nothing more than bullshido.

Figures as he really doesn't have the demenor of the confirmed combat vets that I know. Those guys don't feel the need to prove anything to others about how badass they were. Heck, it speaks volumes then you have a 60 year old man outshoot you with your rifle and ammo. Said old man has congestive heart failure, emphisima, and neropathy in both hands to boot.

I'll let him keep spouting his bullshit as sooner or latter my players will get sick of it and call him on his BS. It's not like the garbage he's been spouting isn't hard to look up and some of the things he's said run contrary to every other source. Stuff like the Millitary replaced the M1911 with Berettas because 1911 slides crack and injure the users and Colt never figured out a fix in 80 years.

Yeah that sort of stuff cracks me up.

I wish I could agree 100% with you on that one.

Different circles of friends I guess. Most of the people I hang out with on a daily basis are Vietnam vets. Of the guys I know with time in the sandbox they tend not to be the guys who make combat sound like it's fun. It's probably something to do with my personality.

I am reminded of this cartoon:


The caption, IIRC, is "That ain't no combat man. He's lookin' for a fight."
