Speaking of unrealistic Movie Great War air combat (which we were just now, on that other topic over there), what do you reckon one's chances would be of taking down an Albatross by throwing a grenade up in the air as it flies overhead?
Slim to none? Do we need to factor this into our Great War rules?
I would have thought that throwing a grenade straight up in the air above you would just be a good way of blowing yourself up. But what do I know? I've never been in a war and I don't work in motion pictures (apart from that little contribution I made to Saving Private Ryan, but you hardly notice it, so it don't really count).
And while I'm on the subject we need a range of 28mm Tina Lombardi figures, so we can play out her attempt to seemingly kill every French officer above the rank of captain, all the way up to Petain. She so cool, she deserve her own series of 28mm scenarios.
Copplestone does a great "lady with gun in her undies*" that would do fine, but I've already painted her in pink with blonde hair, and I don't want to paint another one as Tina Lombardi in black undies and with red hair. Need one of her in her sinister outfit where she kills the guy in the tunnel with that weird revolver rig thing of hers, too.
And who knew Jodie Foster could speak French, eh?
I love that film, even though it's a big jumbled Froggie mess of a thing.
*I think I should have said "lady in her undies with gun", as the gun is not in her undies. I think I implied that it was. It's not a Broomhandle Mauser either. Neither in the film nor on the figure, which it should have been (in both cases).
