I'm hoping Shadow will be able to post this weekend - if not, I'll NPC his character Sunday evening to move things along.
Veterans Day usually means a bunch of war films on the cable movie channels, and Friday was no exception: one of my all-time favorites, Battleground, was on yesterday. It doesn't have the flashy effects of a Saving Private Ryan, but it conveys the experiences of men in battle just as effectively - there's one scene, at the railway embankment, in which the razor-thin line between heroism and cowardice is as finely drawn as I've seen in any work of cinema or literature.
Unfortunately Battleground was on the same time as Patton - I'm not a big fan of Patton as a movie, but I love watching George C. Scott preen and wheedle and harangue his way through the film!

WHAT!
Conduct unbecoming? Not only am I not an officer, I'm not even a soldier. I'm a freaking légionaire. And, well, there's little you can do that is unbecoming a légionaire, and Normand hasn't been -near- any sheep.
So.. Has there been any recent addition to the story hour thing? I just realized I haven't been checking on that in a while either.

*quickly thumbs through adventure notes to remove all references to livestock in future operations*
The last installment, which is the fight at the hill, will go up when our current engagement is done - it ties into something that happens during the transition from The Farm to Hearts and Minds, our next engagement.Barak said:
BTW, your characters are piecing together some good information - you have all the clues already to figure out what's going on...

Hey guys, Pyotr's mind has returned to him.... meaning after no small amount of swearing at machines and sales people that are clueless, my machine lives!! I'm going to spend the evening when I return from work catching up and should hopefully have a post up soon. Oh and welcome, Shibata. Look forward to blowing stuff up with you!
