  • My phone broke, so in the last week I read 8 books in the Executioner pulp series from the 70s, Larry Niven’s “Destiny’s Road”, and Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War.

    I love Larry Niven’s writing. In this book he created a lot of world, and there are corners that we never got to see. Good stuff.

    Warthog was a really well-written book based on interviews right after the Gulf War. It’s one of my favorite military planes. I got pretty attached to the pilots by the end of the book.















  • Over the decades of novels and game fluff by 30 different authors, sometimes the head cockpit is super cramped, sometimes it has a jump seat and sometimes it’s almost comfortable for a passenger. There are two-person cockpit as well, for command mechs like the Battlemaster.

    And on the tabletop, rolling the random hit location for the HD can mean the game suddenly swings in your favor. We players have probably all experienced a turn one PPC to the face!
