Greener that is some description on artillery.Those slides are great. I like the examples of expelling charges for antitank mines in slides 34 and 35. The mines deploy, then arm upon ground impact.

Thanks,

Oldman: A battery has (had) six guns and a battalion has 3 batteries. High tech part is getting 18 guns in at least 3 different locations to hit the same target at exactly the same time since they have to fire at different times.

Actually, it's like almost everything else. Do the simple, basic parts of the process correctly and the result is pretty impressive.

Of course putting them all in the 10-ring is just a matter of mastering a few simple tasks. The devil is in the details.

Sorry about the identity messup. Good-looking pup.

Even us part timers get into it. Our uncle gave you all the ammo you wanted but for some silly reason was stingy with fuel and bullets for others.

Uncle Sweetheart always gave me plenty of ammo but didn't let me play with the artillery. :(

He just liked some folks better than others. You got all you wanted. All I asked for was a few hundred rounds, a skosh of fuel to move a hundred or so vehicles a couple of hundred miles and a few snacks for 400 or so shooting buddies and you'd think I asked for the keys to Ft. Knox.
