The more that I think on it, The Orthodox Clergy would be very colorful and a great subject. I don't know about the British and German State's Clergy. I can't imagine the French Army having a Chaplain's Corps. For the Peninsula, a Spanish Priest would be cool, but we would have to have the...
To misquote Life of Brian, Rifles! That goes without saying! And French Dragoons! Very yes!! Like I said, it was just a wild thought. We also need German cavalry and another artillery set. I would like a Bavarian Artillery piece or either a mounted British or French. Also since it is Christmas...
This would be most awesome. I don't how Matt feels about Club Figures, but some different clergy would be interesting. Especially an Russian Orthodox Priest would get my interest. Maybe he could be in the act of blessing either troops going into battle or a canon.
You could also do a two...
They have Harriers, Hornets and Cobras for sure, but in these days of inter-branch and international operations, the Marines have access to much more. Although, a Cobra tearing through a bunch of zombies would be awesome!
An A-10 could very well be called in, Like HSN said, usually it is what is in the neighborhood. Could possibly be NATO allies. It used to be that the Forward Air Controller would have been briefed prior to the patrol of what air assets were scheduled to be available.
The one in California obviously has American themed sets and I have not been to the one in Denmark but, I think that one at Windsor has better displays. IMHO
Go Tell The Spartans was in the mid '70s. There was China Gate with Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra made in 1957 was about Viet-nam. There was also "A Yank in Vietnam" made in 1964, I remember seeing it as a kid.
It was a later movie that the Green Berets, was the Australian film, The Odd...
Just a "gee wiz fact, They filmed a lot of the Green Berets around Fort Benning Ga. I heard that one of the deals that the production company made with Army was that the sets would be left in place for training. One of my brothers went through helicopter school at Fort Rucker, Ala. a few years...
They did go through the the California hills for We Were Soldiers. It was at Camp Roberts (A National Guard training area) or Hunter Liggett which is next door. I wandered through those hills quite a bit while I was in the Reserves. A California Army National Guard Ch-47 even makes an appearance...
I don't know about no good modern war movies. The ones that were made just don't seem to get the notice that they deserve. I think that The Great Raid is an awesome war movie in which the director did the soldiers involved justice. I also thought that "To End All Wars" was well done but didn't...
