  4. I still can't look at those guns without thinking 'THRUSH'. I guess it is one of those tests of era.

    Like hearing the William Tell overture and thinking instantly of the Lone Ranger.

  7. The Americans had a IR rig that was pretty much a copy of the Vampire called the M3 "Sniperscope". It was actually deployed during Okinawa and kicked the Hell outta the Japs. Nothing says you can't have your 82nd "All Americans" hunting those Ratzis with a copy of their own kit. We play to do a couple "Sniperscope" US Airborne someday so keep your eyes peeled.

    Here is a pic of it.
