RE: FT-Cheap minis, and a reply to John A.

On the subject of cheap minis, I picked up some party favors for my kids
--
little plastic spaceships for ten cents each.  Most of them are too big
for FT,
but a couple would make great close air support for DS, and one type
specifically would make a pretty good infantry dropship.  I'm planning
on
painting them up and posting some pics to rottenlead.com or another one
of those
gaming forums.

Now a reply to John:  I didn't realize you were a sapper!  Remember to
plug your
ears when they send you out for mine-clearing.	I was with the 44th Engr
Bn in
Korea, which was a mech unit, although I also wore the Indianhead patch
at Ft.
Lewis, Wash., in the 168th Engr Bn.  Funny, the recruiter told me all
this stuff
about what great job skills I'd get in construction and surveying, but
all I
ever did was clear mines and breach obstacles.	And blow stuff up.  It
was quite
an experience being within pucker distance of a live MICLIC going off. 
Keep you
head down over there!
