Forum 73986

Welcome to the BroadArrow Unplugged. This takes the place of the Tactical Systems Forum. That forum wasn't getting a lot of use so we've decided to try out a new format. If everyone likes it, we can make this a permanent forum. This is where MWRines can talk about almost anything off-topic, not appropriate for the Main Forum. Here, you are free to talk about anything, however, I would prefer we don't talk politics. Once again, there is a zero tolerance policy for rudeness and personal attacks. Other than that, have fun!
