Happy (belated) Birthday to my kid brother!

In case you don't understand what this drawing is about, let's just say it's an inside joke and leave it at that. It has to do with both of us being avid "Men of War" players and the fact we like to unleash a deluge of rockets on the other's units at the slightest provocation.

The rocket launcher is this: [link]

Oh, I know. That's why we devote a lot of time and resources trying to hunt he other's launchers down before they fire. Pumas are especially good for behind the lines raids.

Never seen the Land Mattress though. Nobody ever wants to put the UK in their games.

Oh it's there all right.

The Brits are only playable in multiplayer but get decent stuff, more-so than the Americans, who, in my opinion are the weakest nation in terms of equipment. You can fight the Germans or the Americans pretty much on equal terms and you can survive against the Russians if you're lucky, since they, of course, true to history get really big guns and a lot of reinforcements... My brother and I reached an agreement - if one of us chooses the Russians then the other one also gets the Russians, else the game is jut unbalanced.

From the multiple rocket launchers in the game the Mattress has the lowest range, but it fires the most rockets. The worst part is that the Mattress is not mounted on a self propelled carriage like the Katyusha or the T34 Calliope, so you need to assign a vehicle to tow it.

Blimey. Shortest range and no self-propulsion. Sounds like a very risky device. Bet it's fun when you get to use it though!

Like I said, it fires the most rockets, so you get a lot more bang for your pound... And besides, I love using it because it has an amusing name.

The other rocket launchers each have their own drawbacks - the Nebelwerfer launches massive rockets and has a great range but only shoots a few of them and it also needs to be towed around, the Katyusha also fires a lot of rockets but it's very inaccurate and while mounted on a truck it can be disabled by infantry due to it being completely unarmored and the Calliope is mounted on a Sherman which gives it the best mobility and protection, but the rockets themselves kind of lack punch when compared with the others.

I remember using the Calliope. I say, this is all making me want to play Men At War again. Haven't played it in months!
