at the bottom of the page. Wish Foundry wasn't so pricy; that's a difficult
pack of figures to pass up!

[Tomb] The best part.... they call Dirk Benedict's character "Starbuck".
Now I've got somebody to take on the "One Eyed Robots":)

I'd love to write the B Team up for FMA; unfortunately, despite their ability
to produce vast amounts of gunfire, they appear to be virtually incapable of
actually *hitting* anyone. Fortunately, "Mr. Z" can force his foes to make a
leadership test simply by bellowing "I pity da fool!" at the top of his lungs.
Failure of the test causes the pitiful fools to flee the table.

Not to mention that even jury-rigged rockets made of duct tape and
acetylene tanks are as accurate and effective as Precision Guided Munitions,
and no
one EVER dies in Letter-Team episodes.  Ever.  The most amusing/bemusing

instance was the time they were engaged in a helicopter chase scene (car

chases having been done to death, plus the producer had some new stock footage
he wanted to try). They leaned out of their chopper, and fille the enemy
chopper with lead. It lost tail rotor power, went into autogyration, hit the
side of a cliff, dropped 100 ft down the cliff, and upon hitting the slope at
the foot of said cliff, rolled downhill another few hundred feet. The badguys
climbed out, QUITE dazed.

I want that brand of chooper for MY airmobile forces.
