I thought you were an Athenian Tim? Must have been wonderful growing up on Crete.

Quieter is definitely better as far as I'm concerned, but the other half is a bit livelier than me so we'll need clubs and decent restaurants.

Thanks for the Tico, Gareth.
Assuming you are interested in historical sightseeing (knightly castles, ancient cities) and have a romantically minded other half (butterfly forest?) I d'say Rhodes. The sea is perfect and the nightlife is wild. But it's a bit too popular for my taste. Kos is smaller, even nicer nature-wise but a little less intense and without the sites. Along with Kerkyra, thats where most Britrish go.
However, in the company of Englishmen and especially women things can get a bit out of hand (then again you probably don't mind, right?)
I am most likely going to Scopelos, once I arrange my leave.
Crete is absolutely the best island by far and wide, but you need a car and alots of time because its so big and different. I am Cretan and I haven't been to lots of places...
Say Curt, I'm just curious if you have one or two modern looking infantry unit from that modern day apocalyptic scenario to share with the forum? It might come in handy for afew idea's I have but if you'd like to keep them under raps for now I'd more than understand
Love the SAM site, Erika! Good work

I recolored a few carriers here. Gave them darker decks and some better landing lights.
btw, does anyone have an Invincible-class English Helo CV nemo/fairline style?
i love 'em!Originally posted by Art of War

Would someone be so kind as to take a crack at an A-1 Skyraider? It was designed during WWII and first flew in March of 1945. It was a workhorse of the Korean War and provided torpedo bomber capability and close ground support. It was such a good aircraft that the military actually thought of reopening production in 1966, 9 years after production was ended. In short, it was the predecessor to the A-10 Warthog.
Your refering to this lovely little bird Harry? Man I'd hate to be whatever target this monster set its sights set on. Is this intended for AE2 Harry? If you don't mind me asking. Aparently it was the only bomber of its era that was capable of delivering 8,000 pounds of bombs with dive-bombing precision.

Spend four months in Crete with the army. Can't say i liked it. Heraklion isn't that nice a place and nightlife is a bit limited. Although that impression may have to do with us having to get back to the barracks before 21.45.
I suggest going to Rhodes rather than Kos. An army buddy of mine says it has better beaches and the night life is truly something. Unfortunately you will also get in danger of angering that other half with all those sluty foreign women around.

Excellent units, Typhoon
Have a break from multi-billion dollar military units, with this more local unit, the thug
Nice stuff everyone.

(just some useful notes about civ2 unit making there, in code though)
Yep that's right, I plan to use it for AE2. I made one for AE1, but I don't think it's up to snuff nowadays or for that matter to accurate. It was a really mother to the Chinese and North Koreans I hear and was able to stick around a battlefield long enough to provide some heavy ground support.Originally posted by Sarsstock

i need a Challenger I british tank...anyone have one?
Fairline, as usual
ooh! that has everything i've been looking for. thanks jim and fairline.
Nice!
And those advanced jets by Typhoon are the business!
Strictly in honor of its 50th birthday still in service (I have no currrent project using it), I think someone should do a rendition of the U-2 spyplane. I'm not demanding it; just a suggestion. After all, it's had a longer active military service period than any aircraft but the MiG-15 (there's still a few of those flying around North Korea).
already did one, on the other page :-D
i'm sure somebody can beat it, though.

can someone make me one of those planes from that movie Stealth...the ones that the people actually piloted.
Merkava anyone?...?
I'm not sure if any of these are a Merkava are not, but it's a good collection of Israeli armour.
Out of curiosity, what's it for?
STDs are like pokemon... you gotta catch them ALL!!!
that's a really good collection- every Isreali MBT since the Sherman. i had a few of those already, but it's good to have them all now.
here's the Merkava from the above collection, along with a green one i pulled off of this site a while ago, that i shrank a bit so it doesn't take up so much of a grid square in the game.
correction- HERE'S the one i shrank slightly.
i'm contemplating doing a scenario about Israel...but i don't really know what I'd do it over. just like the look of the unit, too.Originally posted by our_man

yes, the Merkava is a very attractive tank. i've been using that shrank one as the armor in all of my civ games for the past 6 months or so.
it's one of the world's best as well, though i'm partial to the Abrams as world's best.
