The Loach was suprisingly good at surviving crashes, and my fiance's dad was shot down 3 times in a Loach and survived all three crashes with nary an injury. The problem was not the crashworthiness, it was the fact that the small arms fire often killed pilots and co-pilots. He himself was shot twice while (well during two incidents, he was actually shot 4 times) flying Loaches. He also lost at least 10 pilots/co-pilots during his two tours in Vietnam and all my research indicates that the only remarkable part of his experience is that HE survived, not that he lost so many crew partners. Additionally, Loach pilots who survived being shot down were often lost behind enemy lines and in the close vicinity of enemy troops. Loaches often operated alone and at extreme low altitudes where their exact position was not known by friendly forces (unlike with jet pilots who are tracked by friendly radar). That makes for poor conditions for recovering downed pilots.

I don't care if you put Imperial Tie-fighters in the battle. Its still a couple of guys running around holding a pole, and paintballs break the same as soon as the ref says, "LETS GET IT ON!"

Have Thumper let me carry a SWAT shield that can be used for blocking paintballs. Now that's an advantage I can use. HA!
Those of us who are contributing are enjoying the discussion. There is no requirement to stay on topic here. You are, of course, welcome to not read this thread and I think I speak for everyone when I say we won't be offended if you choose not to read it.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away

I don't mind, every one can express there opinions here. He didn't say any thing bad. Off topic, but if we did do a star wars thiem at TT or something, then I could probobly be "the leading historian" on the matter

Vietnam Game was done at Triggertyme around April 2004. Had some guys come all the way from Michigan and Delaware to play but none from Veitnam so we had to improvise.
