Ken, y’all work things out with Mark C. I’ll be out in the weeds doing a little scouting and handling overwatch. Send Buddy to find me, by that time I’ll have an overlay for your maps and updated intel. He’ll bring that info back in. Keep your heads down. I’ll be in touch.
And most of you realize that a big bunch of us will dress up in camouflage and climb up in a tree and wait all day to kill a deer. All the while quiet as a mouse
I will bring you my copy of " the anarchists cookbook" and you can make plastique for dinner (I prefer det blocks / compound ...
I have had all of those anarchist series books from paladin press since the 1980's - anybody remember those books???
We have several great and one noted professional chefs on the board - I expect miracles from MRE's and drive through take out (no taco bell - like Mr. Grenade once the pin has been pulled Mr. dysentery is not your friend)...
Tannerite and tidepods into fuel air mines and napalm???
Unit patch logo suggestions???
Unit standard logo and flag design???

I still have a copy of the Anarchists Cookbook gathering dust: I wonder if anyone ever tried using the book's recipes for manufacturing explosives and drugs...and if they survived?
I have enough 06 to feed all Marks Garands and mine plus another 1000. I will bring the ammo but for goodness sakes someone bring a lot of enbloc clips because I only have 10. I don't want my * shot off while reloading clips. Thank goodness the judge in Western NY overrode King Cuomo on the seven round limit. If we are going to start this war we better hurry before I forget where i hid my ammo. I can tell you this, it is not hidden in NY State.
Heck I could still equip a unit of 100 members with a military surplus rifle or carbine and two sidearms (one revolver and one pistol)
Each would be issued a bayonet and at least 120 rounds of ammo for the primary long arm...
10 proper military sniper rifles are available - a good force multiplier for irregular troops...
Call me Centurion - pick one senior NCO per decade of troops (platoon or ten) we would make a decent rear guard or sacrificial holding force in defensive position - especially an urban environment...
Heck I bet we have easily 100 qualified snipers who could bring their own MIL spec equipment including several .50 bmg rifles or machine guns as heavy weapons section troops or anti vehicle troops...
Perhaps we have a handful of cohern mortars or reproduction Civil war era light field pieces and off-road capable technical support vehicles to transport them and the ammo and support staff...
Each sniper would get a spotter and a loader - effective 3 man teams.
Mark Christian with twenty garand armed troops.
A canine Corp and sappers or ied mine specialists.
Tractors available and useable in the toe???
A gunclub member in town has a restored half track and an M113 APC circa 1980 national guard set up...
Air assets might be doable.
Mike
I used to say I could arm a platoon. I still can. Nowhere near what I am sure you could do Mike.

I remember all of those books.......used to have them. sadly.....not now.......RIP Paladin Press.
Suspect Buddy would make a great sentry on top. My little "Willie" may look harmless but he is a Terrier and any one trying to hide in a tunnel will learn the true meaning and purpose of a Terrier.
Forgot to mention the main reason for allowing my dog to come along. I can easily hide my white cane over a forum keyboard but it glows in the dark if we must muster in at 0500!
Look, you can count me in but I am early to bed and early to rise. As long as I can get a 30 minute nap sometime in the afternoon it will be doable. I will need ammo bearers as my lack of strength will hinder me carrying much. Also please make sure air conditioning is available because the heat and humidity of summer makes it uncomfortable to sleep at night.

except for the ocassional cough, fart, wheeze and snore............

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Wasn't it a bunch of nobodies and farmers that got together around the 1770s and did some drinking and shooting?
That was back when the nobodies and farmers had the same weapons as the military. We've managed to let the government ban those types of weapons from us.
Probably destined to be a great GBGD Topic Classic.
Can you imagine for a second the big brother that is watching and taking notes. He must be a nervous wreck by now and thinking these fellas are a bunch of violent psychopaths. They are well armed, expert riflemen, and snipers who honed their skills by shooting the enemy and whitetail deer. Hell they even have a suicide squad. They also have a K-9 squad comprised of a Pit Bull that will tear your butt off, A Terrier that is a great tunnel rat and a Golden Retriever that is rumored to lick the enemy to death with out firing a shot saving tons of ammo. Not a lot of Armor but I believe there is a half track someplace. All other areas appear to be pretty well covered. A bunch of farmers and nobody's that will fight all day if they had their meds, a stiff drink, a cup of coffee and a bowl of possum stew and never complain. Most are expert at Psychological Warfare which is a big plus.
If, a big if, Big Brother reports to his superior he probably will say do not mess with these guys or we will be sorry.
Yosh, I think it is awesome you have "Volunteered" to be our lone Kamikaze Member. Maybe we can get Bpost to drop you out of his plane, sans parachute. We save the chutes for the Airborne.
It could be like that Classic WKRP in Cincinnati episode.
Surely someone , BSR maybe , can “ procure “ some d9 cat dozers that forge monkey can modify with some some armor plating . I still have the keys to all the hangers at the airport I used to work at 🤣
I think we could manage a 37mm anti tank gun or 75mm pack howitzer or 57mm recoiled rifle or 20mm lahti sled or 20mm orlikan or 40mm bofors or .55 cal boys atr - a few vintage M79 40mm single shot break open grenade launchers - a Carl Gustav 84 or a 60mm mortar...
A small nebelwerfer or some type of light truck bed mounted ersatz ate frame pvc tubed katusha launching rack...
A vintage parrot gun or dahlgren rifle - a potato digger or two...
In the gun shop days we custom made by hand salute and display charges or the main gun turrets on the Olympia - even produced some full spec dummy practice and display rounds - I bet a team from our force could get the primary and secondary batteries operating again by hand loading some ammo - I bet somebody here knows how to lay and sight that type of gun and mount...
Of course the BB NJ is right across the river and if reactivated by some retired old men and a few docents she would lay waste to all sorts of stuff with the 16" guns and 5" dual purpose mounts - and the Olympia would not scratch her paint...

That is very offensive to those of us that ARE violent psychopaths. But the grandkids love me, and the other people leave you the hell alone..... :P
The scumbags are coming.
Be prepared.

Yes Chris.
He has asked to be referred to as ACIC.
(A $ $ Chewer In Charge.)
We're a bunch of Nobody's that drink and shoot. We might qualify.
However, we might be somewhat better Armed overall. 😉
We may not be the most disciplined outfit Mark, but try to find more guys with walkers anywhere. We got the hardware.

A few of us might have some laying around. 😉
I meant Tactical Battle Shields.

I'm pulling for you Yosh. (And bpost.)
Fly like a Turkey. Use your arms and legs, angle in to the target. Make it count. 😉
Your somewhat close to Nancy Pelosi's house, aren't you?
separate loading, bagged charge
Caliber
155 mm L/39 caliber[2]

360°
Rate of fire
Maximum: 4 rpm/3 min.[3]
Sustained: 1 rpm[3]
Effective firing range
Conventional: 18 km (11 mi)
RAP: 30 km (19 mi)
Indirect fire support for brigade sized mechanized infantry units or task focused armor brigades...
Effective use as an area denial weapon to interdict enemy troop movements out to 18km...
Seems a bit much - a tad excessive...
But sure why not.
