New Recruit

STAY FROSTY !!!

Ghost Horde Member K.I.A / M.I.A

As of Monday the 4th of April , Seniorgrave's Xbox was shot down in enemy territory resulting in the RED RING OF DEATH.

Ghost Horde members have been despatched in a fleet of Humvees to try and get him back up and running again in time for our push into Pacific regions on BF 1943 and the future operations in OF2. We are missing a critical member of Alpha squad and our best Tank commander / TOW missile specialist.

Here's hoping we see him again real soon with a new kitbag and rifle

Generation Kill on HBO

New to us in the UK but a few months old in the US is Generation Kill a series set in the Iraq war of 2003 that follows an embedded reporter from Rolling Stone with the United States Marine Corps' 1st Reconnaissance Battalion. It has a Band of Brothers flavour to it and is the mutts nuts. Thanks to Superbad Mc Nab for the heads up on this one. One recurrent storyline is the "Tache" growing competion that results in some genius scenes :

My fave character is the speed pill guzzling driver Cpl Josh ray Person who talks 24/7 bullshit as he's driving and ends up in an amphetamine frenzy :D
