Subject: A new member... Me!

Hello folks!

I am, as far as I know, only the second Swede here... Tjena Örjan...:)

I'm the proud owner of a small but slowly growing Stargrunt force, and I'm in
the process of setting up a Dirtside mechanized battallion of the Varangian
Guard...
(New Romans)

I would like to try Full Thrust as well, but I'm having a hard enough time
trying to get my GW indoctrinated friends to try two new games at the same
time. :)

But, I have a small problem that someone might be able to help me with...
Pictures of the various GZG Future Wars vehicles? I cant find pictures of more
then maybe 10 in total, with the best being at eureka... The catalog is very
blurry and isn't of much help at those
scales... :-/
Please help, someone?

/Johan

Some of us are Sweder than others--some of us are not very Swede at
all.

You know, of course, there's Norway you'll get away with that pun. You'll just
be Finnished off, because this group just doesn't Lapp puns up.

OK, OK... nice Narn, nice Narn... just put the club down and I won't have to
get hur...OW!

As bad as you get sometimes, it would seem to me that the Narns come
over, make some small talk, ask you about your family/friends... then
shrug and pick up the bats after politely asking if you're ready...

They were much rowdier than that when they used to live here--kegs every
weekend, staying up until all hours, loud music. Eventually the puns got
bad enough that they gave notice and moved out, though--I guess you'd
say I repelled a Narn boarding party.

Oh, and people... The narn that showed up at my door as a preventive measure
could be bribed off with cinnamon PUNs... Might be worth a shot. (ok, so that
sucked, but I'm a newbie...:)

When you make a pun, a squad of Narns (from Babylon 5) armed with bats has
a conversation with you--a one-sided conversation, mostly consisting of
*THWACK*THWACK*THWACK*THWACK*

When you make frequent and atrocious puns, they upgrade from a Narn Bat Squad
(NBS) to 2 squads, a platoon, a company, then either a battalion or they start
using Kra'Vak squads instead. Or sometimes they skip straight to a Narn
Orbital Strike.

Now that is a big bat!

Does someone want to work out the size of the impact crater based on hitting a
planet with a gravitational field similar to earth?

Hmmm why has the sky gone dark? (run baby run.......!)

And even if you give me these, I'm not volunteering to work it out.  ;-)

Well, Agents of gaming make 10mm Narns for their GROPOS game (I think
these are now out) - but I don't know of any in the scales you mention.

You could use New Israelis instead, they're troops from Zion's Friction...

Easily done!   No crater!
Pull of gravitional field is null at midpoint of the
field generators.   (not bothering to note other
possible effects of reduced gravity on the rotating planet.)
