Not sure the grunts would be too terribly happy with the Decurion falling out for morning formation after his squad of cavalry was standing around outside the front door to the barracks.......the horses might have left the legionnaires some "morning surprises" as they exit the building and form...

Now that my older two kids have moved away and the youngest leaves to college in August- BEDROOMS have been commandeered for Toy Soldier deployments......... Andrew's room has now become Ancient Rome, Iraq and Omaha...the "Game of Thrones" Dragon attacking the Vikings is in a display case...

Snagged the iPhone from the wife to snap some shots tonight.

Sorry- I have never been to Normandy or France for that matter. {sm4}{sm4}

Jill and I will definately be there- we hit our 30th anniversary the following week so this will be a nice pre game. Great to see you went with the WW2 American Experience as the venue of choice- make sure they can reasonably accommodate everyone. The Bulge conference back in January was...

Hey Sammy A little difficult to read but it does show he had service in Northern France and the Rhineland so at least that provides some starting point- it also eliminates the PTO and CBI theaters. Im also thinking the 896th was his training company and that he most likely deployed with a...

Not sure I ever shared this video fantastic remake of Motorhead's 1916: SABATON - 1916 (Official Music Video) (youtube.com) Bismarck SABATON - Bismarck (Official Music Video) (youtube.com)

This is a direct reflection of the state of music these days- If he were up for induction in 1988 or 1990 before the God awful grunge invasion then it would have been a no brainer. Now it's all rap and R&B. Hard to get a nod from that crowd.

Im about 30 pages out from finishing "The Rifle" by Andrew Biggio. This isn't just an amazing WW2 book, it is a book that everyone should read irrespective of their interest in history or warfare. My wife is reading them with me- she bought me both books a couple weeks ago. These books are a...

Looks like everyone is getting some cool stuff!!! I'm awaiting delivery of a TCS Normandy Sherman Tank. Fingers crossed, I was told it shipped Friday.

The seemingly rapid influx of LED headlights on every single vehicle on the road. I get it, it helps see in the dark, I enjoy them on my dads truck but I know they play hell with the dude in the other lane.

I think CMC was dealing with CTE/ concussion issues during the SB run. He took a rough hit landing on his head and looked to contort his neck against the Pack or lions- I dunno- it was against somebody in the playoffs. Then in the SB I think it was the third quarter he got tackled out of bounds...

Agreed- but to be fair, I don't ever recall Brady or Mahomes or these guys advertising themselves as the "GOAT"s- it's just hype to sell talk time and that sort of thing. Im not a Mahomes fan but I do respect his effort and determination. I always have to check myself whenever the GOAT...

Yeah Brad, I got like 4 inches. I was on a conference call with people from Pittsburgh and Erie- they said it was nothing but blue skies out there- go figure. ^&grin

Hello and thank you for your interest- I just cleared out my inbox. I do not have ROM082 but you were correct- the CRUSADER figure is CRU098.

That Norman standard bearer is just the bee's knees. He is super!!! I have seen him a few times on their website and for whatever reason, always thought he was a Saxo....it wasnt till I looked closer yesterday and was like "Whoa, wait a minute......" Has Britains tackled Normans in recent...

Our 18 year old son joined us last night. He commented "Whenever I come to these things with you it always smells like the military"...I laughed and said "Nah kid, it's probably more like a lot of us old guys collected in the same room" During the Q&A session, he stood up and told the presenter...
