DOS

Post by Rattlesnake road »

Denial of service, blow up tanks with PE.
Tasked to blow off the final drive, yes just a little more PE, and that will do.
Retire to a safe area behind a bit of earthwork.
Fired the electrical charge and a very loud explosion was heard.
Back to the tank, final drive gone, big hole that’s not getting fixed and the turret had lifted out of the ring.
Whoops a little bit too much PE.

Moved on to doing pretend tree felling, old telegraph poles.
This has to be done to drop the trees across the road or track, thus causing disruption to the advance.
I love PE.

So long as you don't use it on Bonfire night. :lolno: or mistakenly use it on a model tank, where 'PE' is recommended (---from Aber, and other firms, that is... ) 8O :O

P.E. :think:

First I knew it as Physical Education.
Then Potential Energy.
Then Pulmonary Embolism.
Now I know it as Photo Etch (took me a while to catch on to that one :{ ).

What am I missing here :think:
I can only think of Pentaerythritol tetranitrate.

Plastic Explosive, perhaps?

Surely we shouldn't be discussing PE on a forum that youngsters read, worst that how to recover a lipo pack by charging as a nicad!
