  1. Whitby gets closer to my home town of Newcastle, do you known it's twinned with Port Stanly in the Falkland Islands, a nugget of info that comes with so much travel LOL.

     

    Getting back to that date is a super effort, preceeds the break with Great Britain and therefore you have done well

  2. Hi Durka,

     

    Try these guys,

     

    http://www.ancestry.co.uk

     

    There are some more focus sites dependant upon the county that Masongill is in, [googled - North Yorkshire] looks like it is on the border with Lancashire, maybe you ancesters were caught up in the war of the roses ?

     

    http://www.yorkshirefamilyhistory.genealogist.net will probably do the work for you but I have no idea what their fees are

     

    http://www.originsnetwork.com looks like a promising site

     

    try this for some info on the areas http://www.ingleton.co.uk

     

     

  3. Ebden, I found the wiki link really useful, thanks. Anyone try ther tracer rounds for the DMR - very tasty - now I can see why I am missing [i can't shoot straight] lol

  4. Chiefredcloud, hello, please be advised that I shall come across and discuss a get-together with you, so that we can assess together the feasibility of a Sparta - AGE match

     

    Could I ask you to post your TS IP and forum link for me.....many thanks

  5. managed to connect to luggage directly, it is a very simple version of ARMA, they do call it lite

     

    - short on the graphics front

    - like to give it a go with a squad

  6. Iam downloading it now, 2.3Gb, seems to be the training module UK forces, from BIS, will advise

     

    What I know now,

     

    Online play via Hamatchi or Tunngle, no dedicated servers

    Max 8 players coop

    Ability to write missions

     

    Will advise further

  7. Thanks Luggage for the comprehensive report, interestingly I thought during the game that the Southern Probe might have been there for distraction, as there was little movement North towards to AO.

     

    Yoshi played really well, but left early, so I concentrated on the West after he left, catching that squad in the trees was satisfying, I only wish that I could get the artilliary on target - as I know how devastating that can be.

     

    Kalxen was welcome relief part way through - and helped enormously to stem the tide. Kal guessed that Durka might go firm inside the castle and swept in, killing the majority of the squad, how we laughed when Scorpian shot Kal, and then Durka shot Scorpian - Priceless.

     

    The D30's played a blinder by themselves, they were really good, I felt no need to jump on one and start pounding away.

     

    This was the first time I took Smaws and used them against dismounts - I think they sounded better rather than being effective.

     

    The use of the MG cannot be under-estimated I retreated twice under sustained supression - I didn't make it once and had to sit for 3 years to re-spawn.

     

    The AO was a tough one, being a mountain crest and being surrounded by woodland. This made using the squads real easy and most of the vehicles were paper-weights. Although I got two out into the East to try and protect the radio-tower.

     

     

    Enjoyed the game as Opfor Cdr, it does make a difference having two in redfor - you can have some craic along the way.

  8. Durka, great thread

     

    I really enjoyed the games, even though they were on very late, I did stay up to watch some of it and caught the highlights at other times

     

    I specifically enjoyed the curling [ I knew I would] aerial sking - never seen that before [OMG they gonna crash] all the stuff in that mincer of a course for toboggans and skeletons [and UK got a medal - hip hip] the ice dancing - only because of the rivalry of thast Canadian coach - what a story....and of course the ice hockey - only ever been to one match myself

     

    Great Games - well done Canada - London 2012 - must start training for the sitting on a sofa and watching event, probable medal position

  9. Weight limits -

     

    British Forces combat fitness test - 35kg - 8 miles - two hours

     

    Running 1.5miles 9 minutes

     

    I would suggest that an infantry patrol will hump 40 kgs, and would conduct the patrol walking, if engaged the load is dumped and belt kit used.

     

    My 2 cents

  10. so after downloading for most of the evening, I have finally got ACE, started at 3Kbs last night and finished this morning at 175Kbs - what's all that about - pesky downloaders.

     

    Spent my time watching Mama Mia - great film - but not ARMA

     

    So I have it now and I am keen to rock and roll, when next young Jedi?
