Here's Something for the Artillery Guys

Gentleman,
As your appointed tour director, allow me to introduce you to your new favorite low-tech computer game...

Better graphics than that airplane flying game. :D

All right, now I will be up all freakin night! Actually I do pretty good at it. That's scary since I was not artillery.
I was damn good with an M79 though. Kentucky windage!

Video games can not give you that slight overpressure feeling when standing just a little to far outside the trails. It also can't clip you in the shoulder because you did not get far enough to the left when loading. Nothing like pulling the tail on the real thing.

Stage 11

Score 101800

Hitting the helicopters is a real chalenange, especially when they are in flight. you get 4K in points when you hit them in flight though. Cool little game.

Having said that, my wife sent it to me a while ago and I played the hell out of it.

Seabee. NEVER say repeat to an artillerymen unless you want more explosive projectiles delivered. I think you mean "say again". The artillerymen will all cringe when they hear "repeat".

Maybe you knew this and was wanting to make me cringe.
