I was thinking the other day and came up with a new thread, maybe a new forum? What I have in mind is this.
Everybody here knows their stuff when it comes to their own ordnance. I am thinking that each person can either give us a written comment on how the ordnance was used by giving us a taste of a battle in which it was one used in. Maybe it changed the war, maybe it was decisive in a battle, or maybe it was carried by such and such personally. It would be nice to say, here is one of my 12 pounder shells and it was used extensively here and here, this is what it shot, and this is how many crewman it took et., etc,.
We often know that during WWII the Mk.2 "pineapple" was used quite a bit. But, do we really know of any one battle in which it was used so exclusively that it turned the tide of a battle, small unit action, or individually.
I hope you you are getting the meaning I am trying to say? I will be the first one to admit that I have a problem with putting my thoughts down faster than I can type. So if you are not sure about what I mean ask me again or tell me here if you'd like to comment on the idea or not.
Also, I am leaving the first few stories and devices for you guys to give it a sort of "Test Run" to see if it interests others to do the same.
I would also request that all stories be "Non-Fiction" in nature.
