I'm taking advantage of the fact that I have a T1 line at work, and
downloading military field manuals (from http://www.adtdl.army.mil/ )
which
might be applicable to SG/FMAS.
Right now I've got:
FM3-0 Operations
FM3-90 Tactics
FM6-30 Chapter 4, Call for Indirect Fire
FM7-7 Mech Infantry Platoon
FM7-10 Rifle Company
FM17-15 Tank Platoon
FM21-75 Combat Skills
FM90-10 and FM90-10-1 Combat in Built Up Areas
and also the CIA World Factbook
This is about 145MB but I'll be burning it on a CD so I've got plenty of

How about:

FM 1-114 Air Cavalry
FM 90-13 River Crossing operations
FM 90-3 Desert operations
FM 90-5 Jungle Operations
FM 100-20 Operations in a low intensity environment

"okay, come one, come all! Getcher CDs, fresh CD's! Only $1, and that's
cuttin' me own throat ! (that's Ankh-Morpork dollars, of
course--exchange
rate with $US to be determined, this figure does not include shipping and
handling, taxes, tag, title, underbody coat, warranty, extended warranty,
depreciation, insurance, etc. Sausage-onna-bun also available)"
Between the CD's, envelopes, postage and whatever I've overlooked (<vbg>and my
professional rate, which when last I heard from Accounting was slightly
less than $0.06 per five minute increment </vbg>), let's assume the
total will be something like $5 a copy (to pick a figure out of the air, I'll
provide more accurate figures when I get them). Of course multiple copies
shipped to one location would be cheaper (or, if you have a CD burner handy,
you can get a single and duplicate it). Assuming my out-of-pocket total
is not unreasonably high, I would mail them probably next week, and you send
me
a check/money order when you get it. Or I can just bring them to
GZGECC, if you're willing to wait and Life doesn't interfere with my ability
to get
there--in that case, you're only talking about the cost for the CD
itself.

I was wondering who'd be first to notice that. Yes, that's in there. This way,
when you destroy your opponent's lead tank platoon, you can smile sweetly and
say "Now Joe, don't go grinding your teeth, you

I think I've mailed manuals to everyone who has asked and provided an address.
Speaking of mailing addresses for the Field Manuals, I suppose it would be
helpful if I gave mine?
What Field Manual, may I ask?

I'm currently painting up a flight of Future Wars Attack VTOLs. They are done
in a boring olive green with Vallejo khaki for drybrushing. I've kept the
windows black. Does anyone og to the trouble of embellishing the windows with
gloss varnish or a few lines to give it that reflective look? Are there any
other nifty techniqies I should know about? Also what have other painters done
to their VTOLs (or aerospace fighters for that matter)? Thanks very much.

Coming in a bit late, but while he RAFM HO scale Heavy Gear stuff is OOP, the
1/285 line DP9 does now has weapon packs (p/n: DP9-242, DP9-243). I
think this will work out about right for 25mm scale infantry, give or take a
little.

http://www.dp9.com/Products/covers/Dp9-243.gif
They've got two more weapon packs planned (DP9-256 and DP9-265).
