That was fun.
Reminds me when I was in high school.
My brother and I took some plastic model ships,
put them in a pond and shot BB 's at them with out BB guns.
Our version of Battleship. lol

With me it was Britain's Legionnaires Etrangés and tuaregs. We built whole shanty towns of wood and rock which was blasted in the air and burnt to the ground like Atlanta in "Gone with the Wind".

I knew a pair of brothers who were model airplane fanatics. They and their father built kits constantly. Once every few months they ran out of room to store them so they would take them to the big open hillside bordering the lake, load them up with smoke bombs and fireworks, light the fuses, and launch them while filming it on their super 8 home movie camera.

The sniper in the tower part was really well done.

Very cool. 

Now that we all know what a brutally effective weapon the flamethrower really was,m I'm sure we'll see a lot more of them in our games.

Too funny.  Plus I'm glad to hear that I wasn't the only kid who took a BB gun and some fireworks to army men!

It was fun!
