How long have you been a member of the Blitz?
Far too long :) August 2000, came over from Grognards merger
What War interests you the most?
WW2, but I'm interested in all of them for some reason. :P
If you could choose to be present at one historical event what would it be? Hard choices to make here..
Cowpens, Gettysburg, Isandlwana, or The D-Day landings, depending on the war.
What is your favorite War movie?
Oh boy... tough call here
Kelly's Heroes is the most watched, but Saving Private Ryan is awesome on my home theater system
What do you snack on while gaming?
More than I should be, used to be carrots dipped in peanut butter w/h Diet Coke, now just Iced Tea (gawd who drinks that stuff hot anyways?) or Ice water.
What is your favorite and least favorite aspect of the Blitz website?
The best thing about The Blitz is that it allows you to meet people from all over the world that you could never normally meet. The world is indeed a small place, when we can all gather in the same "room" (forum, chat program, etc) and talk to each other.
Least liked: Those who demand, complain or stir, but cannot lift a finger to help.
Do you own any war memorabilia?
Used to have a bunch of WW1 Ammo boxes and some old greened up brass ammo, and the bayonet from some sort of German Rifle. Sadly, I pulled the bullets out of the brass and lit the powder off during a table top wargame party and the ammo boxes got tossed out due to decay.. the bayonet..well the local police took that.. some law about carrying weapons in public...
What is the best military book(s) you have read?
Like Wolves on the Fold ISBN 1-85367-659-4
How Can Man Die Better ISBN 1-85367-656-1
Both by LtCol Mike Snook
I highly recommend reading both of them to anyone interested in the Zulu War, very good books on Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift.
What do you think was the single most important event of WWII?
Pearl Harbor Bombing, it got America officially involved in the war.
What is the most interesting documentary you have ever watched?
I don't watch many "Docus", but I did like the one about the Wolf Packs and how allied technology helped to defeat them.
What is your favorite version of Steel Panthers?
MBT and WW2
Are there any war games catching your eye at present?
After the recent fracas with CM-SF, I went and picked up GRAW2 and am thinking about the Silent hunter series.. Oh and that new HPS MC game.. whenever it comes out :)
What piece of wisdom would you like to pass on to your fellow Blitz members?Take it one day at a time, Life's to short to worry about tomorrow. :cool2:
