Ok I know it set up early but since being asked to create these threads, none have been posted (and I couldn't wait )
So this is how it would be set up and the title format is how any subsequent thread titles should be formatted

The Warrior Fv510 Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Awesome bit of kit and a much needed improvement on the AFV432.
Its has better armour and speed, the latter helping it to keep up with a faster moving armoured group.
Add the Challenger tank, the Artillery AS90 and this beast to the equation and you have a fighting fit force.

Great pics

I like the idea of this thread/forum
love the Warrior photos

THANK YOU.... I have been lost without the weekly thread from MP.net. This former Platoon Leader and current police officer looks forward to many more weekly threads.... Now if only BD Popeye returns to the fold.

Glad to have you aboard and welcome.
You will find things a little slower than MP.Net was but in time and with the help of our members we will soon become a lot busier. MP.Net was undoubtably one of the busiest boards I had seen and we lived in the shadow of their success for many years.

Ah yes the weekly photo thread, not sure exactly how that worked over at MP.net but I hope we can get it running as it was there.

I can see the attraction with this thread. Awesome idea.
Welcome Kosherdeputy

Great idea bombardier
What kind of military photos can we post here?, I assume anything we like

Like I said Bigbird, Im not sure exactly how it worked over there at MP.Net
It was as far as I can tell very popular though. It wasnt my idea to create this thread I was asked by another member from MP.Net if it would be possible so here it is.

So the type of pics?, I would suggest anything as long as the rules are followed

Heres some information

Great pics, I particularly liked the Light gun being hooked up to the chopper. (ex arty )

The photos of international forces were always a lot more interesting than US stuff.

What sort of stuff floats your boat, Kosherdeputy?

There were several posters at MP.net that frequently posted images of central and south American forces. One gent must have been former Greek military as he posted every exercise conducted. Here in the states we don't get great news coverage of the conflicts in Africa so I was overdosing on Google last week trying to find images from Burundi. I am hopeful that the most prolific posters work there way here. BD Popeye was one of the best even if he was US Navy centric.... Hope he sees this soon.

Has BD Popeye moved over to the new site?. Sounds like he would be awesome over here.
Hopefully we will be able to find some usable images fitting your interests kosherdeputy.

Will take a look when I return from work later
