Re: US Marine vs NVA Soldier
Would that be a PAVN soldier? 
As NVA has an entirely different meaning over on the commie side of life.

Re: 'Have a Caaaaaare!!!'
I've never thought it to be anything other than a reenactorism designed to make other people aware you're about to fire a piece of ordnance. Translated into Mummerset because 'Fire in the Hole!' would be difficult to explain outside the late C20. Nobody told me this, incidentally, it just seemed the...

Re: Weekend Warriors
IOne of the big failings of much WW1 and WW2 re-enactment (as many service people have pointed out) there isn't enough shouting and being horrible down the chain. Not all officers and nco's were like that, but you don't make omelettes without telling the eggs to line up straight and bloody well get...

Re: Newbie saying Hi
Are you on Facebook? If so search for Combat Forces 89 you should find plenty of like minded people thjough perhaps slightly earlier than your chosen operation. Also I think they're mostly based slightly north of where you are but not a million miles away.

Re: The Musketeers BBC
I've yet to find an adaption that tops the Michael York/Oliver Reed ones of the 1970's. Two of the few films I can watch again and again. Great fun. Recommended x100. MacDonald Fraser's scripts are absolute gems, the look is spot on and in every outside scene things are always going on in the backg...

Re: Webbing pattern dates
Have you checked on karkeeweb? It's a good question incidentally. While it's not my direction of interest, for example, I am aware that the 1944 pattern was not issued during the war.

Still to watch the last episode but I've enjoyed the first two and it being outside my main directions of interest has been refreshing.
