Truly wonderful BAF moments

Post by The Baron »

What is the best BAF moment? Is it the harrowing isolation of Operation Bloodhound? The climactic rollercoaster of Deep Cover? Could it be the Cobra Conversion itself? There are certainly plenty of heroic sacrifices and last-minute rescues, but for me, the all-time gem has to be Operation Claymore:

Non-stop tension from start to finish. The sinister plot to occupt the highlands without firing a shot still chills me. Haggis should be immortalised as a custom figure. Wonderful.

Claymore must be the best all round story, Haggis was great.

ya if we could get a hold of those original pages (as in scans of them) from you we could use those original pages in our coloring project instead of what we got now

probally would be easier and better than even what we have now and right now we got good stuff to work with

Jeez Baron, power goes to your head like 9mm into a Shad's flak jacket. Or should that be 7.62mm steel jacket etc. etc. etc.

I also think Gung-Ho is an awesome little tale, some of John Cooper's moodiest work. Very grim indeed.
