Am looking to have a bit of fun on my day off so here goes. If your interested the prize is True Crime streets of New York for the PC, used, will ship media mail at my cost and includes manual. Being a former Artilleryman I thought a bit of Artillery trivia would be fun. First one to answer all 5 questions will get game and game will go until we have a winner.
Questions:
1. Who is the patron saint of artillery?
2. What is a redleg and why the name?
3. What is the Army time standard to emplace an M-198 howitzer from Prepare for action to when the spades are dug in?
4 Who stated?:"God fights on the side with the best artillery" ?
5.Weight empty of an M-109A6 Paladin?

1. G.R.I.T.S
2. Becuase of the red stipe on the pants from the Civil War( Jayhwakers would be those evil Kansas border ruffians who also wore red leggings)
3. Way to long
4. A leader that had no Rangers
5. Non issues, they are never close enough to help.

As a former FO I am just glad I didnt spend any time around the artillery

Not to be Johnny Raincloud here, but...

Your other offer, although equally generous, was moved to the "Gadgets & Gear" section.

Please take that as a hint for future posts regarding non knife item give aways.

Happy Holidays!

Where are y'all getting 32 tons for an unloaded Paladin? The number I got is a lot less. My reference source being my Ft. Sill redbook if anyone needs a hint.

1-Saint Barbara
2-bands of guerrillas in western Missouri and Kansas. They were called that beacause they wore leggings of red or tan-colored leather
3-No idea (7 mins?)
4-Napoleon I of France
5-approx 28.2 tons

People are posting combat ready weights, not empty weights.

I'm going to pass on this since I'm going to get Left 4 Dead soon so I'll be pretty preoccupied with that.
