but it turns out an airsoft geek just killed it with his crappy joke
I'm still trying to convince someone to do Part 2.
I was always tempted jsut to do it as a bank job.
forget taking the nation, jsut bust the doors off the bank vault and take the cash.
Like a Heat scenario, only hopefully avoiding the fighting withdrawal down the street?
Well i dont know, De Niro seemed to do quite well out of it.
Only problem is the funding was given on the proviso you took power. So presumably the man bankrolling the gig doesnt just wnat you to take the money and run.
Now if i was freelancing it - have you got any loose change down the back of your sofa and a heli-bedford? I feel a field trip coming on.![]()
I own a 13ton Excavator, the only thing I need to Rob a Bank![]()
Alright, I finally have time to settle down and write a book about some mercs overthrowing an African country...mainly because my (now ex) girlfriend is drunk little whore that will jump on any **** available, but that's besides point. Right now I have some questions for the sake of the plot:
What's the average age of a mercenary? I know that the majority of them are hardened veterans, so that means they're older than the average soldier. Right now I'm thinking of making the youngest mercenary 28 and the oldest 47.
How exactly does someone become a mercenary? Do they just buy some guns and a ticket to the Congo or are there groups of mercs similar in structure to Blackwater or EO that actively recruit soldiers fresh out of service?
Just a rough estimate, but which nationality(s) are mercs most likely to be? I'm thinking the mercenaries will be from the US, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Finally, right now I'm torn between making the leader that the mercenaries are meant to dispose a totalitarian dictator or a Marxist president who takes a strong anti-corporation stance. Which do you guys think would make for a more realistic or engrossing story?
More exactly what does your girlfriend like drinking? and does she swallow?
Propably you could make s load of diffrent explanations. They might not necessary be that old it could be someone expeled from military, any sort of secret agencies or security bussines. Not sure about other countries but in mine such jobs offen require clean criminal record. It doesn't matter what crime it is if judges decide you are guilty its over. I heard quite offen about guys that lost their license for various reasons. Such guys end up sometimes in criminal orgs and such due to their knowledge how security works are quite valuable assets.
Talon, tell your ex about me, im single![]()
freddie forysth wrote the manual of overthrowing a small african country Dogs of war.
while the initial assualt can be pulled off by mercs you need a relativly honest charasimatic local who can win the hearts and minds of the locals and get the state functioning again.
if he's in jail or in exile he's the lynch pin to the entire op without him your just a bunch of heavily armed white guys and every other african country going to use it as an excuse to go in and liberate the country as in the congo![]()
Ask Maggie Thatcher's son Mark - Im sure he'd entertain your ideas!!!
