DU rounds are the best current solid shot rounds. The best US version can penetrate about 1400mm RHAe. The best armored Russian tanks have about 1200 RHAe armor, so angle of shot matters a lot. Most of them don't have any where near that armor. The A-10 is worthless against the frontal armor of most tanks. On the other hand, it doesn't attack the frontal armor of a tank, just the much thinner top armor. -

Going for that golden BB effect. An resident of Kyiv is trying to shoot down a kamikaze drone this morning -

Given that the characters are most likely 1st level (could be wrong) a possible explanation of why Rich's paladin wants to adventure with this motley group of people is that they are the only adventuring party in town right then, so it's them or don't adventure at all. -
"I'm not 100% grumpy right now. Just about 50%" - Explorer the Cat.

Yeah, the tip your trilby "Go day m'lady" sort of twit. -
I ordered an 80 count pack of PGTips "Strong" tea. I think I have my new favorite tea bag tea.

Pretty much. The offender's direct report writes the statement, the offender signs it, a copy goes to the company clerk and the 1SG and maybe the company commander review it. As military "you are a dumb f*ck" things goes, it's not that much paper work. -

He might, that would sorta fit with his personality as we've seen so far, but I'm having a bit of problem with seeing him having any chivalry at all. -
"I don't like the lumpy blanket as much as the fluffy ones. Why don't you put some of those on the bed?" - Explorer the Cat.

The US Army doesn't do KP even as extra duty any more. If in garrison you have civilian contractors do that and if in the field you don't have any thing that needs KP for. You can get written "counseling statements" that would cover things like that. It's unlikely that you would get any thing worse, unless your 1SG or company commander was a real dick. -

Rich's paladin is reluctant to join the all fem adventuring party because "women can't adventure", but right now it's the only one in town. -

Hmm. Back in my day if you were asleep while in a place that could have alerts you were expected to wear something close to uniform colors. Green or black tee shirt (depending on which year) and you slept in your uniform pants. They may have changed the rules. And yeah, can't fault his readiness. -

No, they respond to HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) rounds. Shape charge that makes a hyper-sonic slug of copper heated to plasma that penetrates the armor. Missiles and RPG use them, as well as low velocity cannons. They don't care about the speed of the projectile vs "kinetic" attacks which are based on the speed, hardness and size of the attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-explosive_anti-tank -
Here is. And even before the game start Rich has found a way to be a pain to the party.

Here is. And George reaches the wrong answer via good logic

Yeah, Rich is about to get slapped down hard.

Depends on the ERA, but most of them don't respond to kinetic attacks. And none of the respond to small arms fire. Yeah, "Some other solider is going to loot this" is the best option. -
"Gonna run fast. It's running time!" - Explorer the Cat.

I'm not sleepy or in any major amounts of pain, but I want to read in bed for a while. I'm sorta liking the feel of the weighted blanket. Might get one for use while I'm on the computer. Of course I could move the one I've got around, but then I would end up making the bed more times than I like. I end up making it in the middle of the night several times a week. Gonna read the WEG or Traveller rules until dinner time.

Of course it's sweet. It's brown liquid sugar. I end up putting about half a cup of sugar in a liter of ice tea (while it's still hot, so it dissolves). That about 6 time the amount I put in hot tea.

I normally use lime instead of lemon, but there are some places where lemon is good. On white fish for example.
