good to have u aboard the thread...;)

[General Pain]

Yup added a section called Twilight 2000 Art - The section features for the moment a 3 part series comic releating to a ftf-sessions a couple of years back - the other image is from one of our last sesions this year

The filesize is for the moment huge (23mb) pr image so it is high-res quality - I'm planning to reduce the filesize in the nearest days so the high-res images will only stay a short time....(bandwith and all)

Anyway I hope you enjoy it and any feedback would be apreciated.

I just "updated" my pages. Mostly what I'm doing right now is changing over from MS Office 2002 to OpenOffice.org 3.0, and the two parse DOC and HTML files a bit differently, so the resulting pages look a bit different. But while I was at it, I noticed a few errors here and there in the entries and fixed and/or updated some of them.

[General Pain]

[chico20854]

And, a complete re-write of the Cadillac Gage Stingray.

Bravo Paul!!!!!!!!!!

[headquarters]

new blackpowder artillery piece

swivel gun various calibers doc.

yep - the artillery of everyman in the days yonder -every skip with self esteem would have one no matter how humble his craft and every trading post worth its salt would cover the main gate with one or loose the confidence of customers all over .

As for T2k?

Having a giant smoothbore shotgun like appliance ready to shred whomever tries to assault your little yeomanry or the doors of your fortified appartment block seems like a good idea to me .Ammo is cheap and the technology to make one isnt too complicated .In fact disposable ones can be made from pieces of steel piping -as long as the shooter has a long stick to liight the fuze or a lot of faith..a lot ..hehe

[pmulcahy11b]

I'm not that good at coming up with the blackpowder stuff (TR was, and had several pieces on his site), but you're right, HQ -- blackpowder weapons might make a comeback in a T2K timeline for about 20 years or so, especially among civilians. You might even see some conversions of bolt-action weapons into inlines.

[chico20854]

Ok, I did a long-delayed update to my site (http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeedox4/index.html ): (kato fixed your link)

split the ship designs onto their own page.

Enjoy!

[General Pain]

added a paypal donate button

so if u want to help me and HQ keeping the site open and making future upgrades possible plz send us a buck.

thanx

[pmulcahy11b]

Just did one about an hour ago. Primarily fixes, like I've been doing lately, but also an update of the EE-T1 Osorio, and a total re-write of the British Centurion tank. (It's incredible how many just British variations of the Centurion there were, and I'm sure I didn't account for them all...)

You shold have been with us in the slaughter at Rapid City.....It made the remake of Dawn of the Dead look like Disney.....

[headquarters]

You shold have been with us in the slaughter at Rapid City.....It made the remake of Dawn of the Dead look like Disney.....
It was "the Terror in Rapid City" - and no zombies , just a goverment experiment to chemically control the masses gone wrong - slaughter wrong..

But it was a good one -agreed.

Only problem with "zombie like massacre sessions " is that you have to wait for ages before doing another -or the shock wont register with the players -it becomes routine..

Also a must is to make sure that it only occurs when the characters are relatively low on ammo.

A formula for this would be :
number of enemy targets: X
number of PC ammo/rounds:Y
Number of PCs : Z

formula : Y= 1000X/ Z

did this make any sense ?

hehe

It reminds me of another session that involved "killer-mandrilles" in the sewers of NY, another government experiment...we barely survived that one....HQ do you not worrie that all of this Government Conspiracies Games you are running eventually inspire the US (or any other) to try some of you're ideas.

[pmulcahy11b]

In Czech Pistols, the CZ-45 Tomiska was updated -- primarily a nomenclature and history update.

In US Revolvers - Smith & Wesson 451-630, the Model 460460XVR was updated to account for the plethora of barrel lengths that were or are still offered, and because it can also fire .454 Casull and .45 Long Colt.

Russian Rocket Launchers: The RPG-18, RPG-22, RPG-26, and RShG-2 have been combined into one entry, as they are all evolutionary updates of the RPG-18. The RPG-27 has also been updated (mostly because I originally arranged the tables in a dumb manner).

Small Caliber Small Arms Rounds: Updated the 5.45mm Kalashnikov and 5.56mm NATO were updated. Added -- 5.56mm IOFB. 5.66mm MPS Dart, 5.8mm Chinese, 6.5mm Grendel, and 6.8mm SPC.

And I finally popped into my web editor and put up a few more tidbits and changed one of the pictures and a few other changes under the hood.

Two updated orbats: the Pact overall (at Front/Army/Division level, the regimental and battalion level needs a little more cleaning up but is 95% there!) and the Iranians, both the Army and the Pasdaran.

And two new orbats: the Bulgarian People's Army and the Romanian Army. Both have some mobilization-only units that have never been seen in English! (And, unfortunately, some mobilization-only units that I was forced to use historical unit IDs on due to a complete lack of any information online in any language...).

And the Korean theater should be ready soon. I'm working out one issue with the ROK, and am only part way on the NKPA (which is a nightmare in itself!)

[General Pain]

why no SA-11 under SAM's?

why no SA-11 under SAM's?

Since Paul's site (http://www.pmulcahy.com/) often defines reality for me then it must never have never existed in real life ;)

Seriously though it is obviously an oversight. Paul's site is the most complete archive I have ever seen but the more you attempt to cover the greater the chance is that something will fall through the cracks.

[pmulcahy11b]

why no SA-11 under SAM's?

Some people are never satisfied...maybe that's why I never got married...;)

And don't even bring up chokes!)

Paul,

I noticed the entry for the Enfield Sten is doubled. That said, I was curious if you wanted to add there was a prototype for a Sten Mk IIS with night-vision that was developed but never deployed. Something of a technical curiosity, of course.

(I have a picture of a British soldier using one, with an IR lamp under the barrel and a scope mounted on top. There is a power cord of some kind going from the scope to a back-carried battery pack. War Monthly magazine, Issue #34, 1976.)

I fixed the duplicate Sten entry. Do you have a picture for the Sten IIS with night vision equipment? I'll add a note like I did for the M-1 Carbine version with night vision equipment, but probably not an individual entry on the tables.

[helbent4]

Paul,

I don't have a bed scanner, so I took a picture and uploaded it. My apologies for the poor quality!

Agreed, this doesn't require a new entire entry but a footnote at most.

It's definitely smaller than that monstrosity they tried to mount on the M-1 Carbine.

[Legbreaker]

Having the battery in a backpack would help reduce bulk I think. It's also obviously designed for close range only so that would reduce the need for a spowerful IR light.

I was thinking about why they mounted advanced gear on a POS like the Sten, I guess the Mk. II was more reliable than the Mk. I, it would only be used at short range so there was no need for a full-power rifle. Further, a suppressed SMG in tandem with IR night-vision would also allow for a kind of "stealth" weapon, neither seen nor heard at night.

Probably just an experiment, like the one they mounted on the M-1 carbine. The British already had the predecessor of the Sterling, the Lanchester, in limited service at the time, plus the EM-2 was in the preliminary design phases (which I still think was a kick-ass rifle firing a kick-ass cartridge).

Most excellent site so far, I've been visiting it for years, back in the days of pictures even !

I have two questions/requests if you need suggestions (I know, not likely but I figured I'd try):

In German Tanks you mention the Canadian Leopard 1 is highly modified and covered in Canadian Tanks, but there is no such page. I see You did cover the Canadian Leopard 2A6M in the German page, just wondering if you will be adding the C1 and/or C2 Leopard 1's ?

Second, just wondering if you're going to tackle the new German Puma IFV ?

Look forward to all the new stuff and updates, great work !

Oh, I guess I screwed that up. I screw things up a lot.

Second, I don't know. Eventually, I guess.

[Realpity]

No worries, the site is amazing and jam-packed. I'd be lost in seconds if I were trying to keep track of and maintain it all !

[pmulcahy11b]

I'm working now on the C1 and C2, but they'll be part of the German Tanks page instead of a separate Canadian Tanks page, in a separate section of the Leopard 1 entry. Then I have to get some info on the 2A6M version of the Leopard 2A6. Just touching base.

[Realpity]

Awesome ! Wow that's quick !

after re-reading some 80's cold-war fiction I've had an urge to run a Canadian Mech Brigade in Europe type game

Just checked the page, excellent work ! You even covered the C1A1 ! Thanks very much Paul.

[Panther Al]

Question for you Paul on your page:

When it comes to the small arms, where/how to you get your bulk numbers at?

And second, on the M1 section, you might want to add that the Iraqi Army is now the largest user of the M1A1 AIM SA (Or will be when the last are delivered). I was reading an interview of some of the Iraqi's doing conversion training, and one of the officers remarked that the First time he saw a M1 was in the commanders seat of a T72, transitioning to the M1 gave him a very positive feeling.

And second, on the M1 section, you might want to add that the Iraqi Army is now the largest user of the M1A1 AIM SA (Or will be when the last are delivered). I was reading an interview of some of the Iraqi's doing conversion training, and one of the officers remarked that the First time he saw a M1 was in the commanders seat of a T72, transitioning to the M1 gave him a very positive feeling.

Second part first -- Thanks for the information.

The bulk numbers are straight out of Fire, Fusion & Steel (the first one), which is basically weapon length in centimeters divided by 15, rounding off normally.

[Panther Al]

Should have mentioned it on that last post, but it appears that by the photo's of Iraqi M1's they got part of the TUSK upgrades (The add on side armour and the armour for the commanders and loaders station, and what appears to be a M2 mount over the gun tube Israeli style as well as a M1A2 style APU on the bustle.)

[pmulcahy11b]

Well, that's two countries we've given M1s to that could dissolve into chaos at the drop of a hat...

[Legbreaker]

Obviously there's money involved. Somebody made a bucket of it and ignore the potential powder kegs the AFVs were being sent to.

[Panther Al]

Yep, was a 2 billion dollar deal including a whole host of support vehicles, including ODS Brads, roughly 400 I am hearing.

Hello Paul

I ran in the Rooikat ZA-35 today. For once, I didn't find it in your site (I didn't think that was possible;)). If you are interested in it here is a link to its characteristics.

[Legbreaker]

Just happy to be able to help out with your incredible work in some small way.

[Legbreaker]

Paul, I've noted you haven't got the M579 Fitter variant of the M113 on your site. Oversight?
I don't know how many (if any) are used by the US but they were the standard ARV in Australia for Cavalry and APC units (still are in those still equipped with M113s), and looks like a few other nations too (Canada and Israel being just two in a quick search).

[pmulcahy11b]

I do have some "M-113 Fitter's Vehicles" here and there, but who knows what I've missed.

[Legbreaker]

Yes, I can imagine it's very easy to miss a vehicle here and there given the thousands of items you've already got!
No rush to get it done from my perspective - only mentioned it because I'm currently working on an Australian OOB for Korea and want to include M113s and M113 MRVs in the mix. Likely to have been one per squadron I think sent over initially.

What's the New Zealand ARV for the Scorpion? Anyone have an idea? Could the M579 handle it? (my guess is probably.)

[StainlessSteelCynic]

What's the New Zealand ARV for the Scorpion? Anyone have an idea? Could the M579 handle it? (my guess is probably.)

The Scorpion weighs approx 8 tonnes while the M113 typically weighs 12 to 13 tonnes from memory. I don't know what the specific recovery capacity is of the Fitter's bucket but I'd say we're safe to assume if it can recover another bucket then it can easily recover a Scorpion!

[Legbreaker]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I'm still on the fence about sending Scorpions to Korea though for reasons I've already mentioned elsewhere.

[pmulcahy11b]

I've toyed with the idea of putting vehicles with a large amounts of variants (M113, HMMWV, AK47 and M16) on the same page.

[Legbreaker]

I think where the chassis is the same (M113, M577, etc) that's probably a good idea. With vehicles having to be stripped for replacement parts, it's nice to know the suspension components from a Gepard for example can be used on a Leopard.
Of course that opens another can of worms doesn't it - AA vehicles such as the Gepard aren't exactly in the same category as a Leopard MBT... :confused:

Seems that may require a major reworking of your categorisation methods. :(

Perhaps a note or two in the descriptions might be better at this point? I'm sure you really don't want to rework the whole site.

[Panther Al]

I've toyed with the idea of putting vehicles with a large amounts of variants (M113, HMMWV, AK47 and M16) on the same page.

For what it is worth, I've been fiddling about doing just that for my own use, might clean it up, finish it, and forward it on.

Here's one I did a while back, but forgot to post here:

16 Jun 11
Turkish Artillery Support Vehicles has been rewritten and updated. US Artillery Support Vehicles has been rewritten and greatly updated.

The Izhmash AK-9 was added to Russian Assault Rifles.

The Ukrainian Assault Rifles page has been added, with the RPC Fort Vepr.

Italian Semiauto Shotguns D-Z has been replaced with Italian Semiauto Shotguns F-Z. The page is essentially the same.

The Best Handguns That Never Were page has the Webley Mars added to it.

It should be noted, or even obvious, that the Twilight 2000 stats on the site are in a state of enourmous flux. This is because I am updating basically everything little by little, correcting stats and updating the information, as well as adding on new stuff and new versions of old stuff. Therefore, newer stats do not necessarily gibe with older stuff. In general, Tanks, APCs, and Artillery Support Vehicles have been fully updated (as much as possible with my current knowledge), and there is a peppering of fixes for other things throughout the site. I'm sorry for the confusion and possible irritation, but it can't be helped.

Argentine Mortar Carriers, Austrian Mortar Carriers, Brazilian Mortar Carriers, and British Mortar Carriers have been updated, revised, and rewritten.

Note that I still consider this page to be in heavy development, particularly the blackpowder rules at the top. Any input is welcome.

Some updates and fixes have been applied to Czech Autocannons, Italian Autocannons, Russian Autocannons, US Autocannons, and Yugoslavian Autocannons.

The Autocannon Ammunition page has been replaced with a new one, with a new format and with much more information. I do recognize that at this time, the page is still missing a few entries; I'll get them in there as soon as I'm able.

I've created a monster! The GDLS M-1002 Miller AGDS was added to Best SP Antiaircraft Vehicles That Never Were.

An experimental page, AR-15 and Clones, has been added. I view this page as experimental since reader feedback will determine if the page remains on the site. I don't regard it as finished yet, by the way. For the most part the page is reiteration, but there are some new goodies like the Christensen Arms CA-15, Alexander Arms AR-17, some new types of Ruger SR-556, the new Barrett REC-7 Carbine, the JP Enterprises JP-15, and the Centurion Arms version of the Crane Mk 12 Mod 1 SPR. If I get favorable feedback, there may be other such pages posted (such as the the M-1911, AK, AR-10, and perhaps some others).

[Legbreaker]

All good stuff as usual.
Have you got much info on how the SPAS-11, -12 and -15 is able to fire rifle grenades? All I've found is there is an adapter available but no info on how it works in relation to 5.56 or 7.62 type weapons (12 gauge is much larger obviously so I can't see standard BTUs working all that well without some technical trickery).

[pmulcahy11b]

Not long after the last update, I got into updating the Winchester M-70 rifle. (You're all probably familiar with it, by experience or reputation.) The M-70 update has--well, turned into a monster. There have been a massive amount of variations and types of the M-70 (especially what I call the 3rd version, the one between the USRAC takeover and the current FN ownership; USRAC took the design and really ran with it).

It's become a huge amount of work (though interesting), and I may end up devoting a web page to just the M-70. But it may be a bit till I finish, and get back to other things.

[ArmySGT.]

There have been a massive amount of variations and types of the M-70

I got a guided tour of H&S Precision in Rapid City. Their core rifle is an updated Model 70 selected for the breech style. They have been building rifles for the FBI and the Israelis for a while now.

https://www.hsprecision.com/shop2/


Interesting thing there is' that the have their own broaching machine and rifling machines, along with several CNC machines.

Every part is made on sight. They don't sub contract out. Well, not in 09 anyway.

[pmulcahy11b]

I'm not even thinking of the variations made by manufacturers other then Winchester right now. The worst part is that, even after I finish the page, it will probably be incomplete.

[pmulcahy11b]

27 Sep 11
This update is, at first glance, going to appear to be minor. It, in fact, began as a simple update to the Winchester M-70, but it sort of ran away from me, and I've been working on it for the better part of a month. (And yet, I'm sure there will probably be some incoming corrections and modifications that need to be made -- but I do believe I got the major portion of the page correct.) This page does not include modifications of the M-70 made by other companies or local modifications, it is actual Winchester-made versions. As might be inferred from above, the Winchester M-70 is now on a page of its own, US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles - Winchester M-70 since it has grown so large. Seems like a minor update, but when you see the page, you'll see it wasn't really.

I did manage to squeeze in one other update: Canadian Mortar Carriers, which has been almost completely rewritten.

Did you guys catch in the news that the US Army is purchasing several hundred or more Carl Gustaf Rocket launchers. These will be used in place of the far more expensive javelin system for engaging insurgent positions in hardened shelters.

I believe the thermobaric round is going to be the primary vs. HE or HEAT.

Technically it's a recoilless rifle and believe me, you do NOT want to fire one with a hangover!!!

Guys, I'm tired. Between the medication for mental illness, Tricare refusing to approve Nuvigil for me anymore, and pain and lack of quality sleep from pain of fibromyalgia and ostoarthritis (and a little dog named Winston who has to be let out 1-4 times a night due to his diabetes, I'm just beat. And it goes beyond the physical; I'm emotionally and mentally exhausted.

I'll still do site updates and the occasional special request (I'm doing one now), but they'll come fewer and further between and will probably contain less data. I'll probably skip around and update or put in what new information interests me at that time, instead of slogging through the site updates in order. If you spot an error, it may be fixed immediately...or fixed whenever. That doesn't mean you don't hold my feet to the fire anymore; it just might take a while before I make a correction.

I need to learn to relax and do things just because instead of slogging through the site updates like there a job. With my own illnesses, taking care of my elderly and often erratic mother, and day to day stuff, I have my hands full. So as far as my site, things will slow down considerably.

[Targan]

Paul, as a result of you mentioning fibromyalgia a number of times over the years, my curiosity pushed me to read up on the condition. It seems to me that having it must really suck. And it's such a complicated, hard to pin down syndrome, it seems. It must have taken years and years for you and your physicians to firstly correctly diagnose it, then many more years to find a treatment that works for you. You must be one seriously tough individual to continue caring for your mum and your animals while dealing with your own, seriously debilitating illnesses. You sure have my respect, man.

[Raellus]

No worries, Paul. Take care of yourself. You can rest easy in the knowledge that you've done more than just about anyone else out there for the T2K community at large. We appreciate you. Thanks for everything.

I have a friend with fibromyalgia so I understand the situation you're in. It's a crap way to be with little hope for long term relief.
If you need help with anything Paul, all you've got to do is say the word and virtually anyone here will be there. We all owe you for what you've given us.

[Rainbow Six]

No worries, Paul. Take care of yourself. You can rest easy in the knowledge that you've done more than just about anyone else out there for the T2K community at large. We appreciate you. Thanks for everything.

What Rae said...thanks for all that you do and take care of yourself.

[Legbreaker]

Hey Paul, noticed you've got the Italian PRC-738 Secure Manpack/Vehicular, PRC-638 Manpack, PRC-447 Manpack, and PRC-677A Manpack/Vehicular Radios listed twice as well.

[pmulcahy11b]

Well, it's been a while, but I did some updates. As usual, check them for correctness of code as well as correctness of info.

And Dang me, I still haven't fixed what Leg spotted on the Radios page!:mad:

14 May 12
*
Canadian Wheeled APCs and Finnish Wheeled APCs have been somewhat modified; basically most references to mortar carrier or mortar support versions have been removed from these pages, as they were put into the Mortar Carrier and Mortar Support pages of the countries involved. While I was at it, I took the opportunity to make a few more tweaks in the vehicles on those APC pages.

Chinese Mortar Carriers, Czech Mortar Carriers, Finnish Mortar Carriers, and French Mortar Carriers have been updated, expanded, and tweaked.

In US Antimateriel Rifles A-L, details of the Barrett XM-500's barrel and construction have been added, and some of the stats have been tweaked.

In AR-15 and Clones, the Mossberg Tactical .22 was added.

In Indian Assault Rifles, the IOFB INSAS has been tweaked and has had some information added (and will probably have to be altered again very soon; the INSAS has, in fact, been the subject of mixed opinion on the part of Indian troops, especially special operations troops).

In South Korean Assault Rifles, the Daewoo K-11 Composite Infantry Weapon has been added. The Daewoo K-2 has had some information added.

In Blackpowder Rifles, the Indian Trade Musket, JP Murray Carbine, and the Kentucky Rifle have been added. It's been pointed out to me on Juhlin's forum that there are no links to Blackpowder Rifles on any other page of the site (though you can find them in the PDFs made from the pages on the site), so I have added one on the home page. Further note that the Blackpowder Rifles listed are for the most part modern reproductions of the old muzzle-loaded weapons (some are modern inlines), as the reproductions and replicas are the types of weapons I have the most information about. I've tried to choose the reproductions that are as faithful as possible to the original. (I'm working on beefing up my library with books about real weapons of the period.) Handguns and more modern guns firing blackpowder propellants in cased cartridges will hopefully come later.

The Taurus PLY has been added to Brazilian Pistols.

The Para-Ordnance PXT SA Long Slide Limited was added to Canadian Pistols.

The Chiappa Mfour-22 Pistol was added to International Pistols.

In Swiss Pistols, the Scorpion variants of the SiG-Sauer 1911 and P-229 have been added to their respective entries. In addition, a little more information has been added to the descriptions of both pistols.

In US Pistols M-Q, the Nighthawk Custom Falcon and the alloy-frame version of the Nighthawk Custom Lady Hawk were added. In addition, more information was added to the description of the Nighthawk Custom Lady Hawk.

The Smith & Wesson SD has been added to the US Pistols - Smith & Wesson page.

Virtually of the Smith & Wesson Revolvers pages have been replaced. The reasons may be something as little as that items that were once on a page were moved to another, or it may be because the revolvers on the page have been tweaked or corrected or in a few cases have been greatly updated, expanded, and essentially redone. The Smith & Wesson 10-30 page has only the Model 10 entry updated; I'm still working on the pages.

In Italian Semiautomatic Shotguns - Benelli, the Benelli Vinci has been added.

In Italian Semiautomatic Shotguns F-Z, the rarely-seen 16-inch barrel version of the SPAS-15 has been added to the SPAS-15 entry.

In US Bolt-Action & Lever-Action Shotguns, more information has been added to the C-MORE M-26 MASS.

The PGM Precision Ultima Ratio has been moved from International Sniper Rifles to French Sniper Rifles, for reasons that are explained in the text of the entry. The rifle's entry has been greatly expanded and updated. The Mini-Hecate has also been moved to French Sniper Rifles, and renamed the PGM-338 (it's current market name according to PGM); however, the entry is only partially redone.

The Les Baer Monolith SWAT was added to US Sniper Rifles G-L.

In the CZ-550 entry, the variant CZ-557 was added, in Czech Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles.

The Marlin X-7 was added to US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles L-M.

In US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles - Remington, the Remington Seven Synthetic, Seven CDL, and Seven Predator have been added, while the Remington 700 BDL has been updated and expanded.

The Browning BL-22 Micro Midas was added to the BL-22 entry in Belgian Lever-Action Sporting Rifles.

On the US Lever-Action Sporting Rifles - Marlin page, the Marlin 1894SBL and 1894CBSL have been added to the Marlin 1894 New Model Entry.

The CZ-512 was added to the Czech Semiautomatic Sporting Rifles.

The Mitchell's Mausers PPS50/22 was added to International Semiautomatic Sporting Rifles.

A new page, Armenian Submachineguns, was added, with the Grozniy K6-92.

The Uzina Mechanica Cugir was added to Romanian Submachineguns.

The Brugger & Thomet APC/APS was added to Swiss Submachineguns.

An updated C-47 entry has been added to the US Cargo Aircraft page. A really updated page. In fact, the other entries on the page look stunted by comparison. (Please note that the AC-47 and DC-3 are not included on this page - the AC-47 will be put on another page, and if I ever do airliners, that's where the DC-3 will be.) Than damn entry took me forever it seems, but I was doing it in response to a very kindly and politely-worded email. Sometimes I'll do that.

[atiff]

Paul, fine work as usual, and put yourself in for a Congressional Medal of T2K! :)

[Legbreaker]

Paul, I've noticed on your site a number of weapons which have a Pen equal to their damage dice. For example a weapon might do Dam 2, Pen 2-Nil.
Given Pen is the number of dice lost per level of armour, how does that differ to a Pen of simply nil?

[pmulcahy11b]

No, that's more of a stupid mistake and lack of attention to detail on my part. ARRRRGGGGHHHH!

[Legbreaker]

Ah, that makes sense.
Damn, I think I've given you a bit of reviewing to do... :(

[pmulcahy11b]

I'd shoot myself, but the most powerful thing I have around here is a super soaker.

[Legbreaker]

I think that's the most you'd warrant, just as long as it's not filled with some nasty chemicals.
With the amount of work you've done, it's no surprise a few issues have snuck in here and there - it's not like you've got anyone helping you and checking facts, figures, punctuation and calculations! (besides us ungrateful slobs taking full advantage of your generosity :cool:)

[StainlessSteelCynic]

Just adding to what others have said Paul, your site is immense and has obviously required an incredibly amount of time and patience to build it to what it is. With all the other work you have to do in your own life, people will understand that errors or oversights will creep in.
It takes days to just read through various entries let alone properly review them and as Legbreaker said, it's not like you've got a crew of proofreaders and editors assisting you.
So basically, I'm saying don't stress too much about it, with the years of effort you've put into your site, nobody has a right to whine that you might have a typo or suchlike.

[Legbreaker]

Exactly right, and I for one would be happy to help if I can in even the smallest way.

[Cdnwolf]

Do you have it backed up somewhere just in case?

[pmulcahy11b]

Do you have it backed up somewhere just in case?

The pages get made as Word DOCX files, which I keep, and then get converted to HTML files in word. Then, I backup up using Retrospect, and also use Backblaze.

[Legbreaker]

If you'd like somebody to spell check and edit before publication, I'm happy to put my hand up.

[pmulcahy11b]

I know I have mis-types here and there, but I think I do alright. Usually, mistypes happen to me because I'm thinking faster than I can type.

[Panther Al]

Paul -

With the proliferation of super short AR style 'Pistols' and extra small SMG's, have you considered making a Machine Pistol category?

[pmulcahy11b]

Paul -

With the proliferation of super short AR style 'Pistols' and extra small SMG's, have you considered making a Machine Pistol category?

It's a thought...but I have lots of thoughts that never get on "paper," or sufficiently gel into a fully-formed or even half-assed idea...so many ideas...too few waking hours...

[Panther Al]

I understand that feeling.


I went and did a copy past into a word file the firearms I rate as a machine pistol (PDW's are not in that list) for personal use form your files. If you ever get the urge to generate a list, be happy to forward it on to you to save some workload.

[headquarters]

Added S&W no. 3 model 2 top break DAR added.

3 different calibers.

[pmulcahy11b]

Some days I feel like something George Carlin once said, "I have a lot of great ideas! Problem is, moist of them suck..."

[pmulcahy11b]

30 Aug 12

The German Mortar Carriers page has been heavily rewritten, updated, and corrected. While all entries have been expanded, M-113G Mortar Carrier is a new addition.

In Hungarian Mortar Carriers, Hungary's two nifty Vasilek carriers have been expanded and corrected.

The Indian Mortar Carriers page has been corrected, expanded, and updated.

German Artillery Support Vehicles have been expanded, updated, and corrected. In addition, the FMC/Rheinmetall M-113G1 AOPV and the Rheinmetall Wiesel 2 FDC have been added.

The AC-47D Spooky has been greatly updated, expanded, corrected, and rewritten; in addition, the aircraft has been moved to the US Special Aircraft page (eventually, all of the US fixed-wing gunships will be on that page).

The AR-15 and Clones page has been removed; all rifles that were on that page have been moved to the appropriate places in the regular pages. Experiment over.

In US Assault Rifles A-C, the Alexander Arms AR-17 has been added. In addition, the Alexander Arms Grendel has been greatly expanded, rewritten, and corrected.

In US Assault Rifles D-F, the Daniel Defense Ambush and the DRC Custom Tactical Mini-14/Mini-30 have been added.

The JP Enterprises JP-15 and Kurt's Kustom Firearms P109 have been added to US Assault Rifles G-L.

The Mossberg MMR and Mossberg Tactical .22 have been added to US Assault Rifles M-Q.

The following weapons have been added to US Assault Rifles R-Z outright or have been expanded, updated, and corrected: Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle, Ruger SR-556, Smith & Wesson M&P-15 and M&P-15 Enhanced Rifles, and Stag Arms Rifles. In addition, the Wilson Combat Tactical Rifles section had been modified due to later developments for the Tactical Rifle by Wilson Combat; the section is now listed as Wilson Combat Tactical Rifles (1st Iteration) and Wilson Combat Tactical Rifles (Current Iteration).

In US Battle Rifles A-L, the Alexander Arms Beowulf has been updated and rewritten.

In US Battle Rifles M-Z, the Red Creek Tactical Tomahawk has been added.

It is probably obvious to you readers that some stats to not gibe with each other. This can be the result of mistakes (for example, I got an email recently letting me know that, with the same horsepower engine and almost the same weight, the M-1A2E1 Abrams and Leopard 2E should have about the same fuel consumption. On my pages, there is a wide discrepancy. Another email I got recently informed me that the person who emailed me has an Arminius HW3 in .32 caliber, something I missed. I reiterate, that if you spot a mistake, let me know. I might not get to fixing the mistake immediately, but I assure you I'm working on and off on the mistakes, and hopefully I fix them all sooner or later.

Just to keep you apprised, I decided to get a second opinion on my joint problems. Dr Duncan has pretty much thrown out Fibromyalgia, though she's keeping that diagnosis on the back burner. She's putting me through a battery of tests, including balance (including on my left and right foot), vision, lifting capability of my left and right foot/hand, footstep (I strike hard on my heel with my toes raised, then roll through on my foot, which she tells me in not the kind of step most humans take). I have taken a nerve study on my lover body, and on the 21st will take one on on my upper body.

Her guesses so far are 1) "Paratrooper's Back" --she's treated a lot of soldiers, and PLFs can do a lot of damage to the spine like pinched nerves even decades later; the answer to that can be, depending upon what procedures they use, up to 2.5 years of surgery and recovery periods 2) Multiple Sclerosis, 3) Scarred nerve channels, probably related to military service, 4) and of course, the original diagnosis of fibromyalgia. And it could be a combination of those and even more (for example, why to I have much more muscle mass on my left shoulder than my right, even though I'm very right handed?)

All it adds up to right now is all-over, sometimes agonizing pain that often keeps me at home on a high dose of muscle relaxers and Tylenol 3. I can't drive on those, so when I go places, I normally take someone with me to take over when necessary, so I can take the pain medication I keep with me.

[Legbreaker]

I might not get to fixing the mistake immediately, but I assure you I'm working on and off on the mistakes, and hopefully I fix them all sooner or later.
And your work is GREATLY appreciated! The world (both real and T2K) wouldn't be the same without all you've done and I hope will continue to do for many, many years to come.

Dr Duncan has pretty much thrown out Fibromyalgia...
EXCELLENT! That's about the suckiest diagnosis you could have had.

1) "Paratrooper's Back" --she's treated a lot of soldiers, and PLFs can do a lot of damage to the spine like pinched nerves even decades later; the answer to that can be, depending upon what procedures they use, up to 2.5 years of surgery and recovery periods
Doesn't sound great, but at least it can be treated...
2) Multiple Sclerosis
Ok, I was wrong, this is probably the suckiest. :(
3) Scarred nerve channels, probably related to military service
Next worst I'd think since nerves have a disturbing habit of not being able to heal...

All in all though, it sounds like you may have some hope for relief and improvement? :D

[pmulcahy11b]

I personally think that while I don't know what's wrong with me, it's causing an ever-increasing amount of pain. And I don't want to be doped up all the time; it means I can't drive and the Texas DPS section on painkilling drug exceptions to the normal driving rules reads like something a congressman or senator wrote deliberately so ordinary people can't pull any meaning out of it. I am hoping Dr Duncan has more knowledge on the subject. I can actually claim disable veteran's plates; I just don't think I've gotten quite that bad yet

Paratroopers Back: Have you ever seen a jump unit? You'll note that some of the older troops (COL and above, or SGM, CSM, and sometimes even 1SGs) are walking a bit hunched over and seem to be in a lot of pain. Even when you do a proper PLF, vertebrae, discs, and the nerves between them will get crunched. Add being a light infantryman (once I hit the ground), and you will be often be carrying 50-120 or pounds on your back.

The nerves -- well it depends upon whether they are stretched (can't be fixed) or the channels they go though have scar tissue (maybe can be fixed).

[Cdnwolf]

My wife has diabetic neurophy so I know all about the different ways of dealing with nerve pain. Right now the best is a drug called Nortriptyline which was originally developed as an anti-depressant. The doctor also suggests Oxyneo but she refuses to take it because of fear of being addicted.

This Norotriptyline would be great, because those who have schizoaffective disorder (like me...great selection of disorders I have...I even have a receding hairline) do not respond to antidepressants. I take Cymbalta, but that's because it knocks out about 40% of the pain -- it has no antidepressant effect. Do you know if it's approved for use in the US? I'll have to talk to Dr Duncan...

Although not approved by the FDA for neuropathic pain, a large number of randomized controlled trials have proven the efficacy of tricyclic antidepressants for the treatment of this condition in both depressed and non-depressed individuals. Recently, an evidence-based guideline sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Pain recommends nortriptyline as a first-line medication for neuropathic pain

Nortriptyline is a second-generation tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) marketed as the hydrochloride salt under the trade names Sensoval, Aventyl, Pamelor, Norpress, Allegron, Noritren and Nortrilen.

Hope it helps.

[pmulcahy11b]

26 Dec 12

In US Assault Rifles D-F, the Del-Ton Carbines and Rifles entries were added. The DPMS Panther Recon Rifle was added to DPMS Panther 5.56mm entry.

In US Assault Rifles R-Z, the Rock River Arms LAR-6.8 Coyote Carbine was added to the LAR-15 entry.

In US Battle Rifles M-Z, the Teppo Jutsu Spectre was added.

In Canadian Pistols, the Para-Ordnance Black Ops was added to the TAC-S LDA entry. The Para-Ordnance GI has been added. (Yes, I do know that Para-Ordnance has shortened it's name to just "Para;" eventually, I'll get around to fixing it. But not now.)

In US Grenade Launchers, the Sage Industries Deuce has been added, and the 25mm entry for the Manville Gun/MM-1 has been fixed. (I found out that there is no 25mm version; the actual caliber is 26.5mm.) A little more information has been added to the entry and it's use in the Dogs of War movie.

The Grenade Launcher Ammunition page is in the process of going through a major change; however, I had to post it partially finished, since I needed to provide ammunition data for the 37mm grenades fired from the Sage Deuce, and change the 25mm grenade rounds to 26.5mm, and fix a few other things. The top of the page and the 40x46mm NATO Low-Velocity entries will give some idea of where I'm heading with this page.

In Best Shotguns that Never Were, the Woinchester Wabbit Hunter has been added. (Possibly the most ludicrous entry I've ever come up with!)

The Israeli Mortar Carriers and Japanese Mortar Carriers pages have been rewritten, expanded, and updated.

On the PDF Page, a new fanzine edited by Grimace, Good Luck, You're On Your Own, Issue 1 has been added. Be sure to check this one out; it's a group effort and a good job.

Several of the damage and penetration figures for firearms. In sort, any weapon that has a Damage Rating of 2 and a Penetration of 2-Nil should actually have a damage rating of 1-Nil. This wasn't a mistake when I first started doing it, as I was using a variant damage system, but it has for a long time a mistake and I'll get to working on it.

Hmmm...I see Dr Duncan on the 18th; I'll bring it up.

And wish me luck; I see Dr Casillas, rated as the best foot orthopedic surgeon in the southwest, to let him is he knows how to fix my foot (without losing the arch). He worked on my foot in 2002, but left the city for a while, I'm glad he's back, because he knows about the strange architecture of my feet.

[pmulcahy11b]

18 Jan 13

In US Assault Rifles D-F, the Franklin Armory XO-26 has been added. (It may be moved to pistols later, but the entry text will tell you about my confusion.)

In US Assault Rifles R-Z, the Rock River Arsenal LAR-47 has been added; to the Rock River Arsenal Tactical Rifles Entry, the Tactical Operator-L has been added.

In Swiss Pistols, more information has been added to the SiG-Sauer P-210 entry, filling it out a bit more.

In US Pistols M-Q, the Olympic Arms Wolverine has been updated to include the 2004 version and the features specific to it.

In International Revolvers, the Chiappa Rhino has had the new barrel lengths have been added, as well as the other chamberings now available.

In US Revolvers - Colt A-P, the Frontier has been added. (The New Frontier was already there, so I decided that the revolver upon which they were based should be there as well.)

In US Sniper Rifles A-B, the Alexander Arms GSR was added.

In US Sniper Rifles C-F, the Colt/Cooper M-2012-CLR was added.

In US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles - Remington, the M-770 was added. Some additional information was added to the M-710.

In Best Assault Rifles that Never Were, the Knight's Armament SR-47 was added.

In British Cargo Aircraft, the De Havilland Rapide was added.

After doing some researching, I have concluded that the .25-06 Remington round should be treated as a magnum round. I'm in the process of changing this. If you you run into an entry that has not yet been converted, increase the penetration of the round one step (for example, 2-Nil would become 1-2-Nil), and increase range by 20%.

He worked on my foot in 2002, but left the city for a while, I'm glad he's back, because he knows about the strange architecture of my feet.

I saw Dr Casillas, and I see him again on the 31st, after being X-Rayed, MRIed, and CTd from every angle possible, I think. He doesn't think a simple ankle cleanup will do this time. It's either going to be ankle resurfacing (they sand off the arthritic bones, resurface them with teflon and titanium, and replace some the missing cartilage with silicone and ceramics.

Or, we go for a complete ankle replacement -- they're out of the experimental phase now, and a total replacement can be expected to last 10-12 years as long as I exercise semi-gently. No martial arts, but medium-distance walking, yoga (which I already do), taking one of my dogs to the park, etc. is OK.

[pmulcahy11b]

Here's something for everyone to Google: Grice-Green Procedure, and see how it is screwing up the options for my ankles.

Anyway, I posted some stuff and didn't tell anyone:

01 Mar 13

In US Assault Rifles G-L, The Les Baer Special Tactical Rifle was added.

In US Battle Rifles A-L, the Colt LE-901-16S and the Colt Elite and Pro have been added.

In US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles T-V, the Thompson/Centure Venture has been added.

In Finnish Sniper Rifles, more information has been added to the Sako TRG.

In Belgian Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles, the new .375 H&H chambering was added to the Browning X-Bolt.

Portuguese Mortar Carriers and Romanian Mortar Carriers have been rewritten.


30 Mar 03

Russian Mortar Carriers and Saudi Mortar Carriers have been updated and rewritten.

In US Fighter-Bombers, the F-16 Fighting Falcon entry has been totally rewritten and updated; I basically updated my research and threw out the old

entry. (BTW, there is still a glaring error with the Kurnass 2000 version of the F-4 Phantom II; I hope to address this sometime by the end of May, though the F-4 Phantom II will require even more research than I did for the F-16 entry.)

All of the Sporting Rifles entries have been fixed in reference to the 2/2-Nil" error.

In US Assault Rifles M-Q, the Mossberg MMR Hunter has been added to the Mossberg MMR Entry.

In Austrian Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles A-So, the Merkel RX-Helix has been added.

In Czech Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles, the CZ-455 has been added.

In US Bolt-Action Sporting Rifles J-K, the Kimber Mountain Ascent has been added to the Kimber 84 entry.

I just went to your big book of war. My anti-virus program went NUTS!!! It would not let me any where near your site. I also get a message that the site does not exist.

I am running Windows 8, I.E. 10, and Avast Anti-Virus.

Something strange is definitely going on. After you mentioned this I checked out the site.
I'm also running Win 8 and Avast (the Internet Security version) but I'm running Chrome and I get no AV warnings at all and no restrictions on access to the site.
At the risk of sounding like a smart-arse, is your IE 10 up to date and is your Avast up to date?

Mike

[StainlessSteelCynic]

Hey Mike, good to hear you can get access to the Big Book again.

While the General points the finger at IE I know that Avast and some of the other AV programmes can get screwy at times when working with the built in security of various web browsers. Also, they sometimes deny access to a particular site due to their use of reference libraries of potentially bad domains so if a site is hosted on a dodgy domain, even if the site is clean, the AV denies access.
Sometimes the downloadable content on a site can cause problems because if something looks like a potential virus (say a patch or a mod for a game which sometimes have similarities to a virus), the AV can go apeshit.

So yeah, it's not always IE's fault!

[General Pain]

Is anyone still having AV issues with www.thebigbookofwar.50megs.com ?

I'm trying to do gear for Dark Conspiracy's Protodimension Magazine. I have resolved to do the work, not just rip you off. I even acquired FF&S! When statting the Austrian HG86 minifrag, I could not find any packing data! Is there a site with this stuff on it? Even the big Janes only has individual specs.
I didn't mean I steal your work, it's just a safe bet you've already ben there, done that. I wanted to actually research and stat out equipment.

[Tegyrius]

In response to a fan request, I've added Reflex stats for the Chieftain FV4201 (http://www.de-fenestra.com/personal/2013/2013wiki/doku.php?id=vehicles:chieftain) and its L11A5 main gun (http://www.de-fenestra.com/personal/2013/2013wiki/doku.php?id=vehicles:l11a5) to my 2013 support wiki.

I didn't mean I steal your work, it's just a safe bet you've already ben there, done that. I wanted to actually research and stat out equipment.

I have some copies of Jane's, as a veteran I can go to the military library on Fort Sam Houston or Lackland AFB (or Randolph AFB, but their library sucks -- I'll bet they hold back the best stuff for the pilot trainees and the ANG Squadron), I have I-don't know-how-many physical and electronic books, I do Bing searches as recreation -- it's just a lot of research -- and I'll bet I'm quite a bit older than most of those on these boards and I've just had more time to accumulate stuff. I've just scratched the surface of the material I have available. I still have the old military habit of continually improving things, which is why I'm going back through everything again. And, as I've said in the past, it is in a way therapy -- gives me a purpose and reason to get up and do something (which is contrary to what the antipsychotics are telling me, which is go back to bed). And I need to at least try to keep current -- my .com address is currently paid up until June 2020!

Really, it's just a lot of reading and researching. It helps if you're having fun. I've been coming up with new stats when all I had was a typewriter and a calculator; I started doing it almost from the time I got my first copy of T2K v1.0.

As for the HG86 -- I think one of my old Jane's has an entry...

Luckily the wayback machine archive is nearly complete and was done 3 weeks before it was taken down.

I'm about halfway through building a new replacement site. I can't get it to be as pretty as the old one though!

[chico20854]

Ok, the new site is up!
its at https://sites.google.com/site/chico20854/

Along the way I've put up updated orders of battle (especially Soviet, but also US and Romania off the top of my head), refreshed the links page and cleaned up a few things. Its not as pretty as the old site :(

The next 2 steps are to put up the Third World War wargaming rule mods and the resource list and maps.

Let me know if you find any dead links or other issues... I think everything works but you never know!

Please update your links...

Enjoy!!!!
