Nothing on axes, but I can get those locally. I like it. I wish they'd been open back when I ran the Games Team. Hoogerwarf would have ended up strapped to a SCUD bound for LA.

What is funnier... the corporate purchase web site (Internal only sorry) lists supplies for all of Siemens. It Does include tanks, surface to air missles, hydroelectric generators etc. As OFFICE SUPPLIES... Much of Siemens deals with the third world and supplies police states etc. Riot gear is listed in lots of 24...

Internal, right? So, as an employee, you could make purchases, right?

We must talk :).

So, teach him compromise. get him a TOW. Tell the great dane puppy when it will arrive. Watch them squabble over who gets to use it first. Sell tickets :).

If it's listed, then GDP will ask my permission for the expenditure. Then I'd have to be responsible and shit.

Because you already have a Vicker Mk 3?

The Mk. III wasn't put into production, IIRC.

British Medium tank. WWII era.

WAAAAAAANNNNT.

based on research
