[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 1956292, member: 26473"] Not even in the bright sunlight of the Sahara. I'm working on the equipment list and I came across a [url=http://www.worldcamo.com/images/fran-2.JPG][color=blue]picture of the leopard camo pattern[/color][/url] worn by [i]les paras[/i] in Algeria - thought you might like to take a peak. (And no profanity in any language this time, [b]Barak[/b], I promise... ;) ) As I was reading through my three books on period uniforms ( :confused: ), I decided to add a homebrewed item for your purchasing pleasure. There are numerous references to French parachutists purchasing U.S. Airborne jump boots due to the fact that the (1) U.S. boots were very comfortable and wore well and (2) the French boots were not and didn't. With that in mind... [b]Corcoran 10" paratrooper boots[/b] Weight: 5 lbs. Purchase DC: 12 Corcoran paratrooper boots are widely regarded as the most comfortable, best-fitting military boots available. These boots are a mastercraft item and provide a +1 to resist fatigue during forced marches and a +1 on Jump checks while landing during a paradrop. Before your characters invest in a pair of Cocorans, keep in mind that you don't know if your company commander or platoon or squad leaders will accept a non-regulation uniform item just yet. Buy them now and take your chances, or wait and see if your CO is flexible - the choice is yours. I'll have a completed list for you shortly. [/QUOTE]
