After that excellent narrative I've got to scratch build me one of these.

How about this for a name:

1:st советский Полк Артиллерии Свиньи Народов (Сухуми)

1:st Soviet Peoples Pig Artillery Regiment (Sokhumi)

Even if accounting for all the madly efficient Teutons, the world couldn´t survive if it wasn´t for American tongue-in-cheek games designers and heroic Soviet Porcine Kosmonaut Aviators! :

Wonderful.

Comrade Cannon Pig is about the weirdest of weird war things I've seen. It's even topped the anti-tank dog.

Was there a good reason behind firing a pig out of a cannon?

Early space exploration?

Rapid bacon delivery and cooking system?

Or just because they could?

It is for Glory of Agricultural Advances of Soviets of Peoples Republic and make benefit international struggle of working classes!

I'll denounce you as a counterrevolutionary if you tell us what it's really for.

It's all becoming a scenario for Amazing War Stories in my head now.

One of our gaming group has a nice range of WWII Russians already, I just need to find a pig and build the, well, pig launcher.

Front runners for the pig so far..

I'll risk it. My sources within the Kremlin has told me that it is a reformed capitalist pig who is to be launched back via steep trajectory into decadent Western society and wreck havoc among facist swines by handing out pamphlets containing superior Marxis-Leninist arguments.

That's cunning, that is.

All animals are created equal. Some are just more equal than others.

While going through old posts I came across the almost deadly Russian Pig grenade...a good laugh like this one needs to be seen by a new generation of readers...all hail the brave pig artillery of the Motherland.
