I used to paintball with a lad who'd served as an allied war correspondent with the Mujahadeen during the war with the soviets. Before they got a boatload of stingers, they had real threats from the Hinds. One of their interesting tactics to utilize available gear was to lure the Hind into a mountainous valley, conceal RPG gunners along the edges of the hills, and fire RPGs down into the rotor blades. I seem to recall him telling me he'd watched this occur and work successfully. He was also lethally quiet in woodsball and had a deadly first shot. He said when Hinds were hunting you, you learned to be quiet and fast or you might not still be around. TomB -- "Now, I go to spread happiness to the rest of the station.
