It is fun!
I may not be completely sane, but at least I don't think I have the power to influence the weather.

I had two different people email me about this website today.  I wonder where they get the idea that I like artillery?

It may be a cannon, but it is firing at mortar angles.

Nope not  mortar---modern howitzer.  This is a bit addictive...gotta be careful down here I buy my internet access in gigabyte blocks and this thing is a on line game.

FROM SCROOGE:

Hey, no fair, no fair!  I put pix of black-powder-firing bowling ball mortars here and they get axed or moved, but we do allow cyber-weapons that shoot electrons and digits???!!!!!

Bah, humbug!

 It's more fun to pretend it's a mortar, plus i like the way i can cut down or add to the powder charge,that's the way i'm playing it ;D ;D ;D

     I tried it for the first time last night and managed a 171400.  So, you have me beat, Terry.  I have NOT showed my son this game, because if I did, my score would really look like "chopped liver"!!

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!
