After being accused repeatedly of being a stitch counter by webby and Heb..

webby posts to tell us how many rows of stitching a pair of us combats should have and how the SOF ones are wrong.

I'm going to resurrect that *every* time anyone accuses me of being anal...

Surely Webby is looking to avoid being seen as anal by increasing the stitchs in his breeches ? :wink:

LOL, Webby has split every pair of trousers he has played in - he now reinforces them before using them! To be fair - take a look at the rows of stiching in your jeans, one row won't do for any pair of trousers, let alone combats :P

Oh i do see his point its just the utter irony that the first time stitches have *literally* been counted is the chief accuser of 'stitch counting'.

More irony

Mr 'CR was biased' Spiers is planning a scenario where the allies defend fixed positions all day and have a tank...

I dont know whether he's spent a whole five minutes thinking that one up or perhaps a brain busting ten.

Wherever he ends up doing it i'd be interested to see how it goes.

I think quite possibly we ought to keep out of his thread and let him bury himself - he has only played two airsoft games and thinks he can run one on a golf course. Let it die a death - at least Guy has made him realise there is more to it than coming up with a one sentence outline scenario!
