The Etta Girl II
The role-playing stage of my life was memorable. We didn't have any wimpy swords and elves games. No funny dragons or goblinos. No way. We fought World War III. In 1988, the closing days of the Cold War, we were fighting a losing war in the year 2000 in Kalisz, Poland. We, a motley crew of soldiers of fortune, fought, adventured, stole better looking guns and defeated (for the most part) the enemy. We shot each other's horses and pulled out long pistoooools from holsters while shuddering from recoil from Automags and M60s. We piled the Warsaw Pact's stock of Kalashnikovs on a trailer and never worried about fuel or ammunition. And we rode the Etta Girl out of Poland into Germany. We had the Etta Girl, a modified Marder IFV, and Jake, Elwood, the Alicer, the Maru and the Ginggoy went on to become legends. Pretty soon the Simpliciano Marauders with DARD Baby joined their ranks. Good stuff. By the way, don't pick up that stray rifle if you don't have a helmet on. And hey, that is a NICE gun.

Bwahahaha! Man, what a BLAST FROM THE PAST! The way you describe it almost makes it seems I ran your games correctly (instead of most it it just degenerating into a series of running gunfights). It is just thrilling to see the Etta Girl in US Army colors. I guess it looked like that shortly BEFORE the 5th Mech got plowed under at Kalisz in July 2000.
Very nice. But may I suggest (if you have the time for it of course), some figures representing our n'er-do-well cast sitting on the AFV and a fuel trailer?
Nice to see you're back to blogging with a blast (and a series of just awesome models)!
